1. People are stupid.

Hasn’t stopped me from my Chinese food binges.

2. Yes, people are incredibly stupid!

Your local Chinese restaurant has nothing to do with the outbreak.

Our species is too stupid to survive. We will self-destruct at some point.

8. The mention of Chinese food made me go get some at a local restaurant.

I was like that sounds REALLY good right now.

I always stop and get steamed rice from them for soup. I can’t fix steamed rice for shit.

3. Houston TV stations have interviewed local Chinese restaurant owners about this.

I was afraid this was going to happen.

"Civic leaders in places like San Francisco have gone to some lengths to reassure residents. SF’s mayor and other public officials, as is customary, participated in the city’s Lunar New Year parade, urging patrons to return to Chinatown. “We need to make sure we don’t overreact,” Dr. Grant Colfax, San Francisco’s director of Public Health, told NBC Bay Area. Despite these efforts, though, this year’s parade was reportedly less well-attended than usual."
