Ok, be honest with me guys. On a scale of 1 to Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru, how bad is this whole situation? I'm 60% sure it won't turn into a post apocalyptic mess, however hearing how it has spread, a downplay by the media and some of the end results of this virus, I admit, I am getting worried.
Odds are slim-ish that it'll be Spanish Flu II: East Asian Boogaloo, but we just don't see the whole picture yet. I've been low-key worried the past couple days, but I'd only get really really worried if it starts spreading fast or killing people outside China.
 
This is very much likely the case. I feel autistic and exceptional enough as is for getting the occasional shake at the thought of this shit. Life can and will fuck you over, though.
That's literally your basic survival instinct kicking in. We're just animals with access to tools. The sooner people realize that, the better.

It is normal and perfectly rational to feel worry over this situation. Just don't lose your shit and raid the local Walmart with a gun or something.

However going to Walmart to buy some extra ammo for your 70 dollar walmart-brand shotgun and a spare medkit to have around in an emergency is prudent in any scenario, chinese death flu or not.
 
Supposedly >300 new cases in the first 6 hours of Monday.

Also;
"At present, a total of 32,799 close contacts were traced, 583 were released from medical observation on the same day, and 30,453 people are currently under medical observation."
I can't help it.

I've been admittedly nervous all day about this.

I have loved ones in their early 60's that I care about beyond words and I can't imagine something happening to them without it seriously fucking me up. I don't give a shit if I live or die, but it would destroy me if something happened to them.

Any kind kiwis have any GOOD news/comfort out of this?

Death is a part of life. It will happen eventually, but I doubt due to this situation.

It's a good time as any to embrace nihilism, or go full Buddhist.

Look, we all die eventually, the best we can hope for is to do good on this end of the equation, who the fuck knows what goes on beyond that boundary. And in worst case - if there is nothing there, you get to rejoin the rest of nature on the most primordial, physical level, which really isn't a bad thing.

Well, I've been hearing about Asian-Americans in California buying up supplies to ship back to China.

If it helps any, my parents are in their 70s who have a variety of health conditions, and I'm not afraid that they'll get it. Mostly because they hate people and stay away from crowds, like the public events they hold in the downtown square every month or so. Sometimes, it pays off to be antisocial.

Even if your loved ones are social butterflies, they probably won't get it. Unless they're Chinese and are in China.

I‘ve read that focusing on the news too much will increase hysteria. Just follow what WHO/CDC says about the virus and if you really need to keep up to date on the virus, do it once a day max. This is especially useful for people who get anxious easily. If you don’t, just read how many times you want. Keeping some food reserves wouldn’t hurt as well.

I am feeling awfully somehow even more willing to fuck over other people. Not that I'd be a sore loser ass bitch and intentionally infect others. Just prioritizing I guess.

We're going to have a lot less promiscuous gays spreading HIV and a lot of Cali and Chicago trash might die.

Not much other than hastening the inevitable, basically.

This.

Obsessing over it will only increase your worry and anxiety. Chill, smoke some weed and try to relax.

It's near the Bay Area here in burgerland, so A LOT of the bug chasing culture in California will literally die off in the next few weeks.

If you don't disparage the gays then most civilized people will be more courteous about their sneezing and coughing habits. Maybe more handwashing.

( :optimistic:, I know)

Be careful with that attitude. People are most dangerous when frightened and confronted. When you see footage of people beating each other down in the streets over a pack of toilet paper, it's not movie footage or a video game.

My father always told me to be nice to people. Don't steal from them, don't threaten them, and don't act stupid. you'll deal with some pussies, but some people are just waiting for a reason to nut up.
