But did China and Xi have it in the first place? From western perspective they were and still are a totalitarian state with all its problems. I know their face thing mainly focused on their population as an inner consumption. However propaganda can still do wonders. In my opinion, if Chinese population was ok with Tiananmen square massacre, then nothing will persuade them. Soviet union wasn't killed during Stalin; it died in times of Gorbachev who was a weakling.
It's not that Gorbachev was a weakling (he really wasn't) it was glasnost (AKA liberalization) that set it off. Political change/upheaval happens when restrictions loosen and/or change in an authoritarian system because radicals (of any stripe) are never content to settle for partial change.

Eastern nations are way more deferential their to elders/established order compared to us western deviants.Once all is said,done and dead,the CCP wil still rule,mostly likley they will have to pass some token reforms to satisfy the population,but they will survive as a regime.Han culture runs deep regardless of the political system

Just gonna toss this out there for all of you who are late to the party.

The best thing you can do for your health is:

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • Smile at yourself 3X a day in the mirror
  • Have relaxing books to read
  • Eat healthy and right
  • Exercise
  • Keep a full tank of gas in your car
  • Keep tires and brakes maintained

If Corona-Chan looks like she's going to start dancing and we'll all end up having to fuck the midget, I'll post a lot more again.

If you're a poorfag and wondering how you'll survive if it goes quarantine, then here's the bare minimum you should get.

We'll even go under the theory that all the masks were bought up by pollution goblins to send back to Pollutionland or bought by assholes selling them for $200 each on eBay.

  • 1.5 pounds of rice per person for 30 days
  • 1.5 pounds of potatoes per person for 30 days
  • 5 liters of water per person per day
  • 1 lb of butter (not margarine) per person per week
  • 1 can of tuna in oil per person per day
  • First aid kit
  • Mechanical can-opener (If you can find them, buy a P38 for each family member)
  • Wind Up Radio
  • Wind Up Flashlight
  • Masks
  • Gloves
Here are your optional but still good stuff to get for your disaster prep stash
  • Bleach
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Twelve 6-sided dice
  • 2 decks of cards per person
  • 1 Uno deck per person
  • Red mechanic rags
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Unscented soap
  • Baby wipes
  • Paper towels in bulk (1 roll per person for every 2 days)
  • Toilet Paper (1 roll per person per 2 days)
  • Anti-bacterial soap (1 bar per person per week)
  • Liquid anti-bacterial (1 oz. per person per day)
  • Plastic sheeting
  • Duct tape
  • Garbage bags
  • Hiking/Combat boots (I prefer combat boots)
  • Coloring and activity books for children
  • Crayons, chalk, and markers

That's pretty much in order of importance. You should ALWAYS have this stuff in the basement/attic/closets. Food and water estimates are over bare minimums to account for high energy activities as well as water consumption for feverish/injured/children. If you have children in your bugout/survival group, remember that keeping them occupied is keeping them out of trouble. Children as young as three enjoy taking part in it and can quickly and easily be taught to hold tight to their bugout bag (buggybag) especially if you have a strap for their favorite stuffie on it. A stuffy for the child is vitally important, as it provides a confidant for the child to work through their anxiety and fears.

Your vehicle is your lifeline for any disaster preparedness. Here's some Jet Fuel advice:

  • Keep it maintained
  • Get a Chilton's Manual for it
  • Get a basic toolkit
  • Extra fuses
  • Extra air and fluid filters
  • Extra headlights/brakelights
  • Full tank
  • Brakes and tires maintained
  • Oil and other fluids in storage
  • Ensure routes are passable by your vehicle
  • Make a loading plan for the car/truck. Most important stuff goes in last so it's on top and immediately accessible
  • USB charging cords/plugs
  • 5 gallons of fuel, switch out each month due to ethanol degradation


Again, here are the links I would suggest that are bare minimum to read. Learn it, live it, love it.

If you're wondering why I keep linking US Army manuals and Boy Scout manuals instead of that shiny new Dr. Jerkoff's First Aid Book and Captain Dicksuck's Manual of Survival, it's simple: These books/manuals have been through decades of refinement and peer review and practical review as well as use by millions of people, all for the lowest common denominator in intelligence, experience, and common sense. I don't know Professor Cockmongler or his friend Major Fuckwit, so I don't know how good his #1 Amazon Best Seller really is. The last survival book I bought was full of information that would get you fucking killed.

Here is some preparedness study/research for you:
  • Find out emergency/disaster evacuation routes from your city/town
  • Find the local FEMA/Civil Defense page and instructions
  • Designate fallback/rally points with family members and friends
  • Select disaster "roles" for family/roommates/friends
  • Learn where the fallout shelters are
  • Study First Aid, its' useful outside of Corona-Chan's dance
  • Purchase the above manuals off of eBay/Amazon
  • Purchase Chilton's Manual and read it for each vehicle

If you can, have a survival plan with friends and family, have at least one buddy. The best survival runs on the buddy-system.

If this looks worse than it does now, I'll post more data for you later including "Building a 'buggybag' for newbs".

Remember: This has a greater chance of falling on its face than it does going Captain Tripps, but it's a good practical exercise for preparing for a localized disaster.

Stay upbeat, stay alert, stay alive.

EDIT: Added another survival manual, some additional data

'Kay fellas, the wallet came in today. Address says it was shipped directly from Shanghai on the 7th. Who knows when the virus entered Shanghai, though, and if the person who sold it to me caught it--but it was a new wallet, wrapped in plastic, not sure how impenetrable that is.

Starting the clock now. Will start a second clock when/if the second item comes in in a couple weeks.
 
Campus updates, location: A northeastern City, USA
All the Chinese students are wearing masks, but 99% percent of them aren't covering their noses and wearing thin masks. The men seem to have more of the cheap pharmacy ones, while the women have fabric reusable ones with prints.
I saw one woman with a bad cough wearing an n95.

Just purely from curiosity I decided to Google how many labs capable of studying infectious diseases that China had.
This was my first hit:
Makes you think.

Archive here:

Edit to add I know Wuhan has a lab I wanted to see how many more China has (answer none, Taiwan two) and the article has some great quotes, when taken alongside the current situation.

From my understanding is that yes a virus like this could manifest itself in nature although it would be really rare and require good timing for it to actually catch on before it mutated itself into a less viable state. It would be easier for them to make a designer virus using a template in this case the corona virus template and edit the virus to have the favorable traits you would want like highly infectious, long incubation period with the ability to transmit, bypasses the bodies immune response making it asymptomatic during the incubation period, having a moderately high fatality rate. Pretty much if this one is a naturally made virus all the stars would need to align.

The fact this virus originated from a bat and passed through a snake and was ready to jump to humans adds even more unlikelihood that this virus was created naturally.

Now your body needs to decipher the code to defeat the virus before the symptoms kill you which in this particular case is worse because its a virus that originated from the bat species jumping to humans which is like a person who speaks English trying to crack a code written in a completely different language so its a race against time where you start at a disadvantage out the gate when compared to the regular seasonal flu which the body at least has some reference point to start from.

The question would be what would be more likely?

A. The virus occurred naturally with ideal traits for a pandemic and being able to jump from one species to another and then to humans, with this so far being the only studied case of a corona type virus having the trait of being contagious during the incubation period.

or B. China was tinkering with a corona type virus in their research labs and it leaked somehow.

Both seem about as viable as the other at the moment although China's response to quarantine 50+ million people and downplay numbers make me feel as if they have a reasonable understanding of the viruses potential and that slightly shifts my vote toward the virus leaked out their lab.
C. It didn't actually come from snakes, China's incompetent. It came from eating raw bats and is the same kinda crap that happens every decade or so thanks to conditions in the country.
 
It’s real.
Also, exhentai? Did you start getting a hankering for qipaos with all this talk about Corona-chan?

I don't imagine much other than air is in that wallet, but if you are really gonna be paranoid about it a decent amount of heat should kill just about anything.

I think when they seal packages in those yellow envelopes, they vacuum out the air, so nothing could've survived the trip. It's a very good quality wallet, not sure how to heat it up properly though lol. But if the virus can't survive long on packages anyway like a good typical virus, I should be alright. Just can't help imagining a visionage of a tiny Corona-chan curled up next to the wallet for three weeks dreaming of greener pastures.

Spray it with Lysol or something, although Lysol will do nothing.
