Outbreaks in China happen all the time. It still wasn't clear in January it was going to become a full on global pandemic. Even in early March, there was still hope it could be contained. It wasn't declared a pandemic until March 11.
We learned from other outbreaks not to get overly worried about every one of them. It's not good for your mental health to catastrophize. Though I do wish I'd at least gotten some masks.

How did you build up your falsetto to have that female head voice sound? (It's not quite like a countertenor or sopranist, but it's close.) Do you do anything different when mixing the falsetto vs. modal voice?

I think people hear the stories about NBC trying to get him to remove a female first officer and a "Satanic-looking" alien and just assume NBC was against all diversity.

You are aware that Germany is where Nazism began, right? They know exactly what is and is not Nazism.
Your bigotry against Germans has been noticed.

No, your motivated reasoning is clear. It is pretty easy to follow. I'll show you a diagram:
It's quite clear you are using motivated reasoning to try and argue that Nazism is not actually on the rise. You try to turn sentiment on Muslims because, unlike anti-Jewish antisemitism, anti-Muslim antisemetism is often accepted.
And, checking your history, it's not surprising to find you post in metacanada, which actually turns out to be a far right subreddit. So of course you're trying to defend a far right ideology.
The guy is right: Nazism is on the rise, and you can prove that simply by looking at the incidence of neo-Nazis and other white supremacists. Nazis form the third most popular political party in the country.
And, guess what? The people of Germany, as shown by their representatives, agrees. Germany happens to know what Nazism is better than anyone.
It is disheartening that this representative didn't see through your shtick, but hopefully /u/DangerousDetlef can learn from this. Note when your opponents are using rhetorical tricks. Call them out--don't fall for them.
Again, the argument was that Nazism and Nazi-led violence is on the rise. Nothing about Muslims is remotely relevant, and Nazi-led violence is not primarily against Jewish people.
