Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[XYZpdq]

irl coworker saw the people wearing the water cooler jugs on their heads, we were wondering if the ones at work had a deposit or anything that would prevent us from stealing them and making copies to take stupid pictures for the internet

Did China ever say they had found those two genetically engineered twin sisters that the Mad Scientist had cooked up a few months back? I'm suddenly starting to get a very video game feel to this all. Like we've been here before.

My God! Our only saviors from the Chinese Zombie Apocalypse will be the Gamers! They've been training for this their whole lives!

This is the time for healers to shine. And get blamed for a failed raid.

 

[Rei is shit]

Is there an approximate fatality rate for the disease yet, and is that rate based on anything in particular? For example, do we yet know how likely a healthy man in his 20's would be to die from the virus as opposed to an elderly man? I've seen figures of around a 1% fatality rate from infected individuals at the moment, but no idea what the proportions are.

A bit over 2% comparing the deaths to confirmed cases in China. Supposedly about 45% of suspected cases in Wuhan turn out to be legit cases. Currently there are almost 20k suspected cases in china, and if that 45% holds for the rest, then there are an additional 9000 cases, which would bring that fatality percentage down to 1%. There are also likely many cases that don't present any symptoms.

Then again there are supposedly people dying at home and I doubt the Chinese would count those as victims. There are also lots of rumors about the causality rate being substantially higher. So..... make up whatever number you like between 0 and 5, more or less.

For reference the seasonal flue is around 0.05% fatal in the US.

trannies were the only ones standing in Frisco after the Apocalypse?

A new postapocalyptic world, consisting of only trannies sounds pretty disturbing. Fortunately, at the moment trannies stop taking meds, they are screwed. We don't have a medicine which can destroy the virus itself, instead, drugs just prevent HIV from replicating. This is why pozzed individuals have to live on drugs for the rest of their lives.

Here's Why Some People Go Off Their HIV Meds and Why That's a Really Bad Idea

Charlie Sheen said he quit taking his antiretroviral drugs for a period of time. While that sounds shocking, it’s not unheard of.

Agree. To date we have seen very little involvement by the various branches of the PLA. If nothing else, the PLA has many combat engineer units that could easily dig mass graves. The PLA surely also has medics that are prepared to work on a nuclear-biological-chemical battlefield. They certainly have decontaminating equipment.

Wonder if the PLA Navy has ships that can distill fresh water from sea water in quantities large enough to be provided to communities on shore. Am sure the PLA and PLAAF have plenty of helicopters that can be used for airlift of supplies/people.

And as previously stated, am sure the PLA has large amounts of medical materials in war reserve stocks. Long since past time to get those into the hands of sick civilians.

The only thing I can think of - just had an off-the-wall thought - maybe Xi is saving the PLA to put down any revolts/insurrections/riots/whatever resulting from the people's anger at the government not telling them the truth and not dealing effectively with this virus outbreak, besides the other two. Sure would like to know the number of cases and deaths among the PLA stationed in the Wuhan area and neighboring regions.

I imagine they've got the PLA locked down tight. Less to respond to riots and more to keep them from getting ill. Can't intimidate your neighbors if half your army is choking on its own fluids.

Rated for thinking a dictator would ever get accurate information.

I realize this is a bit delayed in terms of replying (posted only this morning, yet 10 pages ago), but this is so very much the case.

China has a long, sordid history of this behavior. For example, when Mao was in charge he mobilized the workers to produce massive amounts of grain.

One village would say they could produce x bags, and the next would try and one up them until it got to be stupid numbers. So they would report that their harvest was FAR, FAR superior to the reality.

So the government would take a large percentage of the grain, while the village would be left with the rest. Because of these inflated numbers, many villages basically were forced to give all the grain they had to the government. Not because the government was evil and greedy, but because these people could not swallow their pride.

So Mao is left wondering wtf is going on with all these peasants starving in the countryside. He even visits a few farms, but the pressure on the people is so heavy that they do not tell him the truth. Those who did speak truth were punished.

Another thing you must keep in mind is the level of indoctrination each citizen receives. They are all well versed in the history of the CCP, they know to tow the party line. They also know that sometimes saying nothing can be better for them than saying anything.

For example, Mao at one point prompted this campaign where people could publicly state things they felt were at fault with the party. And so many students and young people did, because this was the cult of Mao and if he said to do it, then this had to be the way!

Well the higher ups in the CCP get pissed at Mao and so he does a complete 180. Now anyone who spoke up is labeled a "right winger". They are punished both physically and socially.

So knowing that this has occurred in your regime before, would you honestly risk speaking up?

Posts like this is why I have fear of the near future in the USA. Bar countries like Serbia and Hungary, no country seems to serve themselves anymore. When anyone does they are labeled hateful, IE Trump. We are all told to be ”global” citizens, basically meaning serving the interest of the big government types. Be that neocon or leftist, same thing.

This post is just a representation of what I’m seeing in real life. College liberals telling me nothing to worry about, “it’s just the flu but different.” Or my chinaman roommate buying 6 respirators and 5 boxes of wipes and telling me how he will resell it.

America itself needs a mass deportation of these fucks. They don’t care about my country, so leave. But they won’t, they fuck over us all and act like parasites. Once America is gone they just move to the next richest place and make it cancer as well.

Not really, apparently the most elite force of PLA, the airborne corps (similar to 82d but a bigger unit) had a shortage in everything from protective gear to rubbing alcohol and their field hospital was begging civilians online for these supplies. You'd be disappointed if you were hoping for PLA NBC medics to save the day.

Whoever wrote this clearly dosen't have an immuno-compromised person in their life. It only really kills older people! Lmao some of us have very important older people or sickly people or chronic illness people or recovering from other illness people in our lives that we'd really not like to lose any time soon, certainly not because some bunch of idiots in a foreign country keep putting shit in their mouths that dosen't belong there.

It's not racist to point out the astronomical numbers of infection are in china, where it started. It's also not racist for people to suddenly be wary of the chinese, it's human nature to other people of a culture/race/sex when something negative is blowing up in the media about them.

I mean I get it. I live very rural and probably have very low likelihood of getting this unless it massively spreads but the news about it has been giving me anxiety because I do have older family even more likely to be susceptible than me. The fear at the back of your mind will make you do funny things, but in some people vehemently denying the reality of a suitation is how they cope. People want their concerns to be met with information that gives them that sigh of relief and let's them go back to life as usual, not all these unknowns. However, shit like this is not the way you go about it.

 

[Atomic Wangler]

It means either A: You have so many bodies laying around that its going to cause its own heath problems and you dont have the manpower to bury them fast enough.

B:The virus is still active in the bodies for a long period after death.

I'd bet on A because as we have already seen they're overwhelmed transporting supplies and possible infected people to hospitals. Doubt they have enough mortuary personal or gravediggers and if you were one would you want to touch one of those bodies? Heck I'd be worried about people taking a dead parent home and burying them themselves and botching it with a too shallow grave and just add more trouble to the health problem.

One thing I dont get is where is the military? Where is its logistics and more so where is its manpower. An infantryman can certainly mopp up and load trucks with dead bodies. Dont need specialty training for that.

PLA logistics likely got hamstrung by the decision to tear up sections of road leading into the quarantined cities.

Whoa. That says a lot. If the PLA's most elite force is asking for supplies, makes you wonder how well the average unit is supplied, then. Can't have a world-class military without world-class logistics.

The longer this goes on the more China shows itself to be a "hollow nation". Looks impressive from a distance. Up close little of substance, water system terrible, hospitals lacking. The country has lost more face than most plastic surgery patients.

China, a hollow nation whose Emperor has no clothes. Going to be hard to take China too seriously after this; their pretensions to greatness have blown up in their faces.

You could move stuff by tracked vehicles. But tearing up those roads is a sign of terminal retardation.

Which also means their heavy cargo vehicles (like their version of the deuce, 5-ton, and HMMT) are actually crap at overland that wasn't specially prepared for propaganda. Their cargo vehicles should have a higher center than tracked vehicles and should be able to avoid getting high centered like an Abrams or Bradley or even a Stryker.

I've driven a 5-ton through 3 feet of water with the radiator fan disabled to prevent it from spraying water into the engine, through rough terrain. Hell, I've driven a deuce cross country through the woods.

Their cargo vehicles should be able to handle a torn up road with no problem, and if they can't, well, it's more "point at laugh at the pollution goblins" time, because, holy shit.

Buzzfeed writer being a deviant? What a shock.

 

[Bean5]

In my main hobby, we get a majority of our stuff from China and I'm really getting sick of folks ordering and then throwing a bitch fit over the wait or lack of response.
I'm also tired of the folks who feel the need to copy paste articles explaining how you can't get sick over the packages. Irrelevant to the fact that the hobby is based on working on your stuff as soon as possible.

I'm starting to wonder if some.of them even consider the fact that postal employees are people too. There's a chain of command and your toy isnt that important

Hearing what you have just said, that's just another illustration of Chinese reality being so much less than their propaganda. Funny, if such a thing happened in the USA US troops would be able to get anywhere in the country with supplies/assistance. Not only that, but at all levels there's planning for a major epidemic.

For some reason, believe these "miracle hospitals" could well be "Potemkin Palaces" - looks good on the outside, rather useless on the inside, just warehouses where people die. Don't care how fast that building goes up if there's nothing to put in it but patients. And, of course, once these "hospitals" start admitting patients no foreign media will be allowed in.

Why do people think it's a good idea to post this stuff? Even if that is intended to be a joke, it'll bite you in the ass at some point.

He never got around to blocking access to his archive, so look through anything from the early 2010's there. No doubt he'll learn how to turn that off soon.

I don't trust a country that historically had brutal ways of torture and centuries of inhumanity. Say what you will about it woke folks but your literally defending a country that threw concubines into tombs because they hadn't produced kids. Or had concubines commit suicide after an emporers death by force. Or threw children and women into a river to drown to appease some god for a greater part of 5000 years.

All human cultures have practiced both very horrendoud methods of torture and religious/magical human sacrifice at some point or another.

went to home depot today to get some general shit for the house, decided to get some masks just in case (and I need them for a future project)

was surprised to see the store practically cleaned out despite being in an area that has nearly no Asians and no cases.

is the supply chain really getting that fucked up even here in america?
