Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Computer Boy]

The Korean is literally incapable of empathy - if he's hungry, he'll fucking curb stomp a puppy and then char the still twitching remnants over an open fire while giggling at how easy it was to get a delicious meal - all he had to do was walk into the nearest dog pound and adopt a pet. Stupid gwailo didn't even try to get a bribe out of him!

FTFY

Yes, it’s the Chinese everywhere. I know someone in a decent size town in another country who went to the pharmacy to buy masks and it was just cleaned out by a Chinese woman. They’re just like rats.

Chinese people need to hustle like sharks need to swim: if they dont do it, they will spontaneously die.

The fact that she's wearing a surgical mask INSIDE the bloody helmet is priceless. Especially since it prevents the helmet from achieving a seal thus making the whole thing fucking pointless. It's like watching evolution at work.

If they are anything like the speedglas ventilation helmets, there isn't any real seal. They use positive pressure produced by the fan to keep bad stuff out.

Can we talk about diesel being down 15 cents in two weeks after not moving more than +/- 3 cents in almost a year?

A huge part of China is simply non-functional at the moment, meaning they're not burning fuel as actively and consequentially not restocking fuel. Refineries gotta sell that shit constantly otherwise they can't keep working and making more, so they lower the price based on lowered demand.

At least that's my uneducated take on it.

dr. john videos for today so far:

The second video is quite entertaining as it features Dr. Campbell getting mad as hell - in his restrained, English GP-type way - about Chinese people abusing and eating wild animals.

it’s because fuel ships. Crude oil andLNG are stacked up in Chinese harbors with nobody to unload then. So China told Saudi Arabia stop sending them.

Additionally the fear of contracting rabies from bats is a bit overblown. The only time I've seen bats bite is when they're on the ground and someone tries to pick one up.

You don’t need a bite - saliva can do it too if it contacts any break in the skin or mucous membranes

 

[Cynically Insane]

I am pretty sure that MedCram was bought off by WHO. Their 12th video took a drastic turn from skeptically identifying the numbers as "reported" to suggesting that they are fact and then tried to debunk "unproven theories". The entire tone had gone from 'this is what we know and this what we speculate' to 'this is why you are all wrong'.

In their 13th video they spoke of Dr. Li Wenilang and didn't even mention that he was sanctioned when he tried to sound the alarm.

I knew the WHO was fucked when they publicly endorsed TCM but this propaganda is a new low. They have become an arm of the CPC. Sigh.

fighting trolls is more important than saving people . The current year.

 

[Mr. Faget]

Well that's awkward. Exiled Chinese billionaire with a history of whistleblowing apparently feels the numbers are...slightly higher.

Granted it's CCN (fixed typo) and there's no reason to assume 100% of the cremated are plague dolls shitting blood infected, but still.

This one thing pisses me off to no end.
There have been many posts I've seen on here saying this exact thing. Someone even had a picture of one Chinese dude buying ALL the masks from Home Depot and the box of masks overflowed his cart.

There should've been a purchase limit on these masks a month ago as the Chinese are purchasing them out of stock. I get they've got family members in that country but it's just weird how they just give no shits and take everything. I would usually just attribute it to worry and panic - ANY OTHER country I would give them the benefit of the doubt - but the Chinese do this shit ALL the time.

Communism breeds selfishness.

I ordered some books for work. Except the first book ships from Michigan, which has five cases of the virus. I don't know if viruses can hang around packages, so how fucked am I?

That unidentified letter blaming the US for NCP showed up on Cryptome today. Really good fake or authentic correspondence, I'm not sure. But it appears to be written for Western audiences.

WHO is starting to issue statements that warn of the actual danger. Sure, it's a month late, but better than nothing. I like how these cheery fellows have saved us all a lot of unnecessary worrying. Assume the fact they've noticed means shit's about to hit the fan.

Found this: CIA offers advice on making a go bag. Seriously, I keep 3 and have checked each one 4 times since this all started. Forget the batteries, add a trench knife and .45 ammunition.

Nothing WHO has done up to this point makes me think they're not a CCP shill organization.

@Mr. Faget, anyone who can read felt the same. Now that we're past the point of containment, they are proactively preparing to cover their asses.

Hey, what happened to the biohazard suit on my icon? @Null I feel less safe.

You're already dead. All five of those people were coughing on those books. Write your will, then wait under your bed for the darkness to claim you.

Gotta keep the stock market from tanking! Though if they tanked it now maybe they could defeat Orange Man, so maybe Randbot is right about globohomo quietly learning how to stop worrying and love Trump.

Imagine if people that selfish suddenly had real, minimally regulated capitalism? They'd be like the Goblins from WoW!

I've been mulling some ideas over in my head for a week, and have a relatively shallow understanding of international commerce regarding China, so bear with me if this seems totally stupid. Does it seem to anyone else that the US markets haven't reacted anywhere near as negatively as anybody expected them to? I think that Trumps trade war has in a twist of irony actually saved the stock market from the huge hits that the asian markets took. Plenty of industries were already making contingency plans to find new manufacturing bases if the new tariffs Trump threatened came through. Really gets my noggin joggin.

I imagine the protracted trade war got any firm worth a shit to investigate alternative supply chains, so this worst case scenario isn't as bad as it would otherwise be.

I don't think this tweet chain has been posted here, but it has some unseen footage from Wuhan/China regarding coronavirus.

Nothing really that new, just reinforcing how the virus spreads easily and the incompetence of the CCP.
