It now seems that the G&T lied about how serious COVID 19 was I played it down because I didn't want to alarm the plebs. If he had told the truth thousands needn't have died.

Bull.... If he had not played it down, there would be panic and many thousands more would have died, plus many thousands more bankrupt.

Hi Folks,
I don't pay much attention to certain posts, so I don't know what G&T means. I know it was questioned and answered a number of months ago. I paid no attention to the answer.
Anyway, tonight I googled the term. I wrote: urban dictionary what does the term g&t mean
This came back:
G&T
Noun
A way of saying "N" without being jumped by every black person within earshot.
A synonym for "N"
The phrase originated in Bristol England, allegedly to help those who invented it cover up their racism.
The full phrase is gun and trigger, which stems from the massive increase in b---- gun crime.
commonly abbreviated to g+t.
That sounds pretty bad to me.
What does G&T mean here, again?

G&T an abbreviation for G****r T**d in polite society and fora :cheesy:
PS I always refer to a Gin and Tonic as a G&T, I just purloined it!

Thanks, Sal. And to think he claimed I was racist.
He even had to think of something so quick, he left out the & in his made up excuse.

Sure it does. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.
Watch me screw with these Yanks.
You knew all along what it means.
You've just been found out.

I had no idea about google's urban dictionary definition and have no interest in it. The reason I use the abbreviation is, I didn't feel comfortable with The Ginger Turd whereas G&T can have many connotations. I don't know about the US but here if you say G&T most people would think of a Gin and Tonic. As I said I purloined it to mean Trump's ridiculous hair. Still, after November I won't have to bother with it :wink:
iddee, You actually called yourself a Racist, and I think lots of people will have come to the same conclusion!

Cider Cider Cider. :grin:

I think if you do the research, I said I was prejudice, not racist. You, me, and everyone else on earth are prejudice. We judge the outcome, then take the action every day of our life. That is prejudging. It has nothing to do with humans, even, much less race.

Show me where I said it.

Yes, cider. Because alarming the people is ALWAYS the best plan. Panic and confusion, the left wings best ally. Never let a good disaster go to waste.
Even with Trump's downplay, the panic was palpable. Can you imagine if he's managed it the way the DemoRats wanted to?

Good point Hops. The first news clips that I watched of this virus came out of China. A person would be walking down the street seemingly fine. Or in an elevator, Or in an office building, even clips of hospital hallways, seeming fine and a second later, shaking and fall over dead. I was very alarmed to say the least! If I remember correctly this was shown on most news channels, both right and left. Mr Trump suspended traffic from China. I am thankful that the power of this virus is not as expressed.

Hi Folks,
I?m going to take an active stance here. I?m going to call out racism when I perceive it. The OP is an obvious racist, by his own terminology. He so enjoyed fooling us with his use of an ?apparently innocuous?, yet racially derogatory term that is popular in his country. He knows it. He calculated the risk, and he used it? exactly as he knows it to be. ?G&T?!
For his explanation to be valid, there would be no & between the G and the T that he uses here. Yet there is. ?G&T! Gun and Trigger!
I don?t refer to or respond to him very often, but from now on I will refer to him as F&R! The R stands for RACIST!
Thank you folks.

We dont seem to have an OP, G & T, F & R in our lingo but we always seem to have enough G & D ! !

I see, so you prefer Ginger Turd then? So be it. :grin:
Decided to look up G&T

No mention of guns or triggers here, maybe in the US with its plethora of weapons and mass shootings.

I am not sure what truth you wanted told? Maybe you can explain that bit and how it would have helped save lives?
What is certain is that if China had told the truth and not allowed people to come in for the New Year and then go back across the world contaminated, many 1000s around the world probably would not have died.
We do not know what we do not know, but once the virus was out of China there was little that could be done. That's why the goal was always to flatten the curve or slow the spread. It was never about stopping a virus, which, once out, can't be stopped until it burns itself out.

Sorry, not buying it. There are people who look for and find racism or other isms everywhere. I have had enough of those tender feelings and the attacks they bring.
We should also remember that we are all from different countries. There is a term used in Austrailia that would not be used in polite company in the US. It refers here to a female body region.
I accept his explanation because I read his G&T in the way he meant it. If someone read it another way, they might need to look at their own perceptions and perhaps remember that we are not all in the same place seeing things the same way.

Maybe since it got to us later than the rest of the world, he could have embraced mask wearing, washing your hands and the fact that it was airborne?
Possibly share the science and the evolution of information?
Ask yourself why wearing a mask is a political statement rather than good hygiene in an era of a pandemic?
Do you think information makes more of less panic?
Did the rest of the world panic or do you think we are more afraid than they are?
