  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No. Covid was released by communist, fires and heat happen in Ca in around this time every year and even typhoons can happen if the weather is right. In my town a few years ago we had a tornado in Southern Ca

Not so bad before as the fires in CA right now and hurricanes are news to me for CA. I get tornadoes. Potatoes, tomatoes?

The heat is always this bad every August, lived here all my life and it has always been this hot. Fires always break out this time of year it is nothing new. Don't look for something that doesn't exist

All we need now is a big solar flare that burns out every power distribution station in the world.

I live in AZ and it has never been this bad.
We have never broke so many records
We are also getting the warnings for black outs.
I here they are actually doing it in CA now.

It has gotten this bad quite a number of times. Given the fact that the Governor scaled back the production of electricity than blackouts will happen. Like I said the heat and fires have always been with us it is nature, period. A few years ago it was worse with almost the whole state of California on fire and in the hundreds for several days, so this is nothing. The fires back then got so bad and out of control other states had to help and California rented super fire fighting planes from Canada

This is some kind of just US armageddon then. Involving precisely 0 of the countries mentioned directly by name in the bible. Interesting.

I wouldn’t worry until after the food riots.

What with the covid,

Poor planning and politicization by democrats and republicans...and a refusal to put the onus on China to clean up their act with regards to the issues that are unique to their wet markets, in particular... as well as their poor oversight of infectious disease research facilities out of fear of being labelled "xenophobic"

fires in CA and all the weather in the east and how about the terrible heat wave many places.

Side effects of the climate change that 20% of the US population insists is a myth...unfortunately, included in that 20% is most major members of one particular political party at the federal level.

Hey Rob, what are these issues that are unique to these wet markets (that have been running for about as long as civilisation has)?

Hey Rob, what are these issues that are unique to these wet markets (that have been running for about as long as civilisation has)?

Poor hygiene conditions, serving food that's not fit for human consumption...just to name a few.

A number of different countries have wet markets, and don't have the same issues that this particular region in China regularly has. There have been multiple regional outbreaks from them that we don't hear about in the news (though you can search and find them) because they don't expand to the point of pandemics, but there are several health issues that link back to them.

Why 'Wet Markets' Persisted In China Despite Disease And Hygiene Concerns

NPR has actually done several articles about it ever since SARS was linked to one of them.

Other countries that have wet markets aren't regularly having those same sorts of outcomes. Even the ones in Hong Kong don't seem to have those issues.

"Wet Markets" themselves don't always present an issue...certain ones (combined with certain practices and lack of safety standards) do present issues.
