What are the odds that Corona-Chan and Nurgle succeed where Goering and the Luftwaffe failed in regards to London?

As the journey was less than 15 minutes the driver did not have close sustained contact with the individual and is not considered high risk,” said Dr Rachel Thorn Heathcock, a PHE consultant.

Someone has to have had “close and sustained contact” with a carrier – defined as within two metres of them for at least 15 minutes – to be at risk, PHE added.

Wow. How fortunate. You hear that? You're not at risk unless you're within 2 meters of a carrier for 15 minutes or more.

Is it the shit weather that makes Britain so dumb or just general inbreeding?

Update - still havent arrived. This is most serious!

The end is nigh

in answer to question;yes.

Very long article that lays out the facts I mentioned previously.

"the woman, a Chinese national who had recently arrived in the city from China."

Oh fucking come on. People in the press and social media are screeching about racial prejudices and whatnot but this shit really doesn't help.

You had the Indian guy literally an hero because he though he had it and didn't want to put his community in danger. On the flip side you get this dumbass and the woman who took a bunch of anti-virals to get through airport checks to go to Paris. Literal Typhoid Marys going on walkabout infecting everyone in their path. Does common sense and decency not exist in China?

In fairness, she's probably just statistically ignorant. 99% of people and 99.9% of women are incapable of thinking in terms of statistical probabilities and fractions to see that this driver has encountered a great deal of risk.

!!!!!!!1GUYS THIS MIGHT WORK!!!!!

Re: PrEP- "Truvada works by blocking an enzyme called HIV reverse transcriptase. By blocking this enzyme, it prevents HIV from making more copies of itself in the body. "

Re: COVID-19 - The standard technique to confirm COVID-19 is nucleic acid testing with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

I'm no medfag but .. Wasn't there comparisons to COVID-19 and HIV?

Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that takes RNA and produces the corresponding DNA. the RTPCR reaction uses this to take viral RNA (which is scarce and fragile) and turn it into DNA which is robust and can be amplified by making loads of copies so you can detect it.
Coronavirus doesn’t use a reverse transcriptase itself, it’s RNA can be read by human ribosomes anyway. It uses a slightly different polymerase to hijack the cell to make more copies of its genome.
The ‘HIV like‘ sequences are not from HIV, they are just sequences that look a little similar, as many sequences do. The HIV drugs that seem to have some efficacy are protease inhibitors, which inhibit viral replication.

Chloroquine Phosphate seems to be working somehow. And that shit is incredibly cheap here. The only problem is that is not available everywhere. Thoughts?

It’s cheap and it inhibits the virus in vitro. No one seems to know why but worth further studying frankly if you’re somewhere where you can get hold of some and you know you do t react badly to it I’d have some as a just in case.

No, it really doesn't.

I call bullshit until there's actual unbiased. clinical trials.

Hey thanks for this, you've given me a lot of threads to pull on and learn about this and I really appreciate it! Would the antivirals be bad if someone was infected? I noticed an insistence that PrEP users generally had to test HIV- and wonder if that would be sorta the same thing?

Or would you want to prevent secondary infection? I heard discussion re: immunosuppressants to prevent the cytokine storm to potentially mediate the younger deaths?

Everyone else is just like "wtf r u talking about?" haha so I'm asking the pro while I can!

Thanks and three cheers!

With pharma tentacles hentaifucking medicine, is there such a thing as an "unbiased" clinical fucking trial these days?

Exceptional individuals on the American left continue to make xenophobia appear rational. Wringing its hands about WuFlu shutting down their open borders fetish, The New Republic tweets:

"The racist, right-wing isolationism favored by the Trump administration is as bad an answer to the coronavirus as it is to the climate crisis." The article, "We're all on this sick planet together" (not worth reading) bemoans calls to restrict international travel as crass right-wing exploitation of crisis.

Highly ratioed tweet | Archive (can't get this shit to archive rn)

Fact is that US Customs is not doing any screening currently. No temperature checks, no hygiene info. Just asking people if they were in China recently. That's it AFAIK. Who is exploiting this crisis? For fucks sake, at least screen people at customs when there's a pandemic afoot.

Film industry impact, for those interested in such things.

TL;DR:

- Three films have missed their expected slots in China (2nd largest market) - 1917, Little Women and Dr. Dolittle. But they weren't expected to be impact grossers so the studios are like 'whatevs'. No mention of BoP's terrible start, but we all know the truth on that one (piece of shit).

- The films most at risk are Mulan, F9 and No Time to Die. Not only is it up in the air if they'll even get a Chinese release, if they do, the local market will take priority in terms of distribution/number of screenings (i.e. Chinese films take precedence). *Nb: the water cooler rumblings about this are that Universal are very concerned re: F9.

- In terms of theatre closures on US soil, it would be unprecedented and a hard thing to do unilaterally (they don't have the authoritarian government of China). But if theatres are closing, so are sporting events, churches etc. So new territory potentially, but studios are preparing.

- To the above, studios are considering moving to more streaming options and will likely use the pandemic to explore. Which returns to the point of the article: streamers are killing moving theatres anyway, CoronaChan or not.

Coronavirus and Movie Theaters: Here’s What to Expect

Theater closings would be unprecedented, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. However, streaming could be a bigger threat than the virus.

Maybe this is why Iger noped his way out of Disney today. Cash out while the money's there.

I wonder how healthcare will impact us here in the US. Some might be afraid to come forward from fear of being uninsured and being left with a huge bill.

 

[JosephStalin]

All viruses spread more quickly in more densely populated areas. It doesn’t have to be “engineered”.

Agree, but why didn't it spread in Paris with the Chinese lady who was celebrating sneaking out of China knowingly running a fever? Paris is rather densely populated. And why hasn't it spread in other densely populated foreign cities where Chinese have visited recently?

 

[CreamyHerman’s]

Have you seen the movie Contagion? It’s actually really interesting, but this post reminds me of the guy who swears the government is ignoring an OTC medicine that treats the virus. He’s full of shit, of course but he makes money off the panic and disorder.

That's a subplot in the book World War Z as well. Peddlers gonna peddle
