I never played the RE series, but saw the first movie years ago. I don't recall the Umbrella Corp reference. I watched Contagion last night. Eerily similar to a certain extent. I give the movie a 3/5.
Re: Coronavirus
It's a sh*tty film so I can't blame anyone finding nothing memorable about it, but the lab where the majority of the plot takes place is owned by the Umbrella Corp, all the soldiers and bad scientists are from Umbrella Corp, and the major characters of the film (including Alice) worked for Umbrella Corp.SDHornet wrote:I never played the RE series, but saw the first movie years ago.

The main antagonist of every RE film is the Umbrella Corp.

Note this youtuber is an American that has been living and working abroad in China. I think he has a Chinese wife. He and an Aussie (also working in China) have a youtube channel where they drive around China and SE Asia on motorcycles and visit different places.

Forgive me, but I would not look at a "youtuber" who is "an American that has been living and working abroad in China" as a good source from which to get a comprehensive assessment of the situation.

Re: Coronavirus
I just looked at that. See, this is the problem we have nowadays. You have all this crap out there from people like a "youtuber." And people are believing that crap at the same time as they are saying that mainstream media organizations that have real quality control efforts on what they do are "fake news." It's a really sad situation.SDHornet wrote:For anyone thinking the Red Chinese gubmint responded swifty (looking at you JSO):

China is handling communication on this much better than they did with SARS. There are other areas where they are still deficient. They aren't hiding the virus the way they did with SARS but they are significantly padding their numbers.

False equivalcy. CNN is left-leaning, but nowhere near the State Media that FoxNews has become. Attitudes like that is how Trump is able to exploit and destroy this country.

Re: Coronavirus
Then you aren't watching or reading or rather, you might need to take that course those kids are taking on detecting bias in their media sources. Not odd, though, as people with certain biases are most likely unable to spot biases that agree with their own bias. Your defense of CNN reveals that, as does your jump to hyperbole to smear the other side. I think both FOX and CNN cater to the whackos out there, and yet I also don't think our country is teetering on the verge of collapse. But then again I can see those biases.dbackjon wrote:GannonFan wrote:
