Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

A quick interjection on the topic of guns
if you are serious about getting a gun for the potential boogaloo-Flu then for the love of god get some trigger time, if you can’t afford to both buy a gun and learn how to use it then understand that you might want to consider semi-auto carbines or pump/double barrel shotguns. DO NOT BUY A PISTOL if you can’t afford ammo and or range fees on top of a pistol.

Rifles and shotguns are a lot more forgiving for new shooters as you have three points of contact compared to just two with a pistol. Easier to get a stable sight picture on long arms then pistols

Understand how to care for your firearm and have the appropriate cleaning kits.

The most important thing beyond even having a gun, is threat identification get a light for your gun. But also let your family know you have a gun. Last thing you want to do is think some people with the WuFlu are breaking through a window in the middle of the night and you can’t tell what they are and cave their chest in with buck shot and it’s your kid, wife, husband, dog etc and they knocked over a glass and sounded like a window breaking.
Don’t be dumb this shit isn’t like the movies and get reliable ear protection.

I live in a state that still hasn't had any cases turn up. My local Lowe's, Home Depot, and Ace were all stocked with P100s and had tons of N95s so if you're on the fence and in a state that hasn't gotten hit yet, it's worth a look.

And If your in a state that does have a confirmed/suspected case get them asap, "not in a few days", or "later", asap. All the stores I checked had no p100s, but they had alot of N95s so there are informed people out there stocking up, don't get left behind. Its only a $30-$60 dollar investment and even if nothing happens you'll most likely use them later.

Not long til China turns into Left For Dead 2. I mean shit, the patients are apparently spitting and punching the doctors and potentially infecting them on purpose, might as well be zombies. “Await official instruction” sounds just like the CCP. Plus, with how many Asian people smoke, I guarantee the smoker is an Asian guy.

Still no word from the CDC or WHO as yet on the most important update - is this infectious during the incubation period? Fuck what China says about it - no data, no proof.

answered during last CDC press conference at 15:20. they say they have no evidence that it can be spread during the incubation period. they can monitor the close contacts, and so far they have no human to human transmission documented yet in the US to look at.
pull over dat ass too fat said:
If it says anything, the first question was a guy asking if the r0 value of the virus would be more certain in coming days, and she starts riffing about the length of the incubation period while shuffling papers and comes up w the response that the r0 value is only somewhere between like 1.3-2 (false) so there's really nothing to worry about because f/e measles (conveniently picks the disease w the largest r0 as her example) is 12-18. The r0 value assumes a population with zero herd immunity though, so the comparison can't be made unless we pretend we're still living in the 20th century.
Click to expand...
the question is at 8:28 if anyone wants to hear it. tbh that wasn't my takeaway. he asked about the "dispute" over infection and she was trying to reframe it as different interpretation of new and growing data. she also put r0 between 1.5 and 3.

other highlight, 23:52 NYT journalist tries to press for answers and implies there's a shortage of testing and annoys the CDC director

Can we get a death pool started on the mayor of Wuhan? He was fucked just being the unfortunate local official in charge when this broke out, but he’s made all sorts of bad decisions that make his eventual execution pretty much assured at this point.

Nah, he's full of shit.

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

So 45 pounds of rice and spuds and 30 sticks of butter per person?

What does it say about the severity of the "administrative breach" that the Canadians swallowed their pride and forbid her from returning to China? Clearly just a simple administrative issue that led to her being unable to return to her home country of China. That's normal to be trapped in a foreign country over just a small issue with administrative mix-up.

Daigou are all over the west and in places like Singapore too. UK has a ton. A lot used to ship back luxury goods but I know they also go for 'trusted' brands like Boots own-brand skincare - cashiers say often a single Chinese woman will come in and they'll strip a shelf of certain products leaving nothing for anyone else, because they are selling the lot for a premium to Mainlanders.

The 'Daigou' Sellers Making Thousands By Buying Luxury Goods in the UK

Daigou is probably the most lucrative industry you've never heard of – and all it entails is sending expensive products from the UK to China.
