Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Heinous Fuckery]

That looks staged as fuck. If this were real, why would they let it get recorded and uploaded? I think this was staged and made public to try to make China look like they have shit under control.

That's from a training exercise (if I recall correctly). That's why it seems off.

Wait, wut about Savannah? No no no, we all just got high with three feet of pollen...or "allergy flu" or "allergy blight".

That's a big nope for me, stay in Hong Kong.

With the ports, two military bases, and I-95 in the area it's probably already there. Best to head to Lumber City and camp on a sand bar in the Ocmulgee.

As I said earlier on this thread, Trump dropped the ball on this. I don't like how he didn't take this as seriously as he should've. I don't like how slow he was to respond to this. I don't like how he seems to still be in denial.

But if you think the Democrats aren't using this as their golden opportunity to bash Trump in every way shape and form, you're also in denial.

The Democrats are thanking God right now for this plague - they had NOTHING good enough to go on him. This is it. This is the one that even normies may listen to. But they didn't give a shit a week ago about this virus just like Trump didn't. And they're going to come out and act like they told the world this would happen? Fuck them. They did NOTHING.

Hey Nancy, Bernie, Chuck, and Elizabeth - where were you a damn month ago when the CDC said this thing was going to get bad? Mister Meteokur, a fucking lolcow YouTuber warned us about this a month ago. A YOUTUBER. I got a damn Youtuber to thank for getting my N95 masks a month in advance before they were all gone. Not the Democrats.

Trump didn't drop the ball on this. Trump likely had a bigger picture view of this -- that is to say, there was still a chance this could have been contained, there was a chance that this wasn't as bad as it might have been. Yeah, Jim was on youtube and twitter reading /pol/ conspiracy threads for thousands of dollars in superchats a day, presumably Trump was going through more legit sources. Sources that, as we've seen, have been adamant that China had control over this, there wasn't many deaths, it's nothing to be concerned over. It's just a flu, bro!

Driving the enture US into a panic over nothing would have been a disaster and a very stupid move.

On a darker note, everything involved so far with all this has seemingly been to keep us from panicking long enough for those in the know to prepare. There's a reason all those CEOs bailed before their golden parachutes were yanked. They need us to not riot in the street before the various elites can get a vaccine and get flown off to their private islands and the like.


As for the Democrats, fuck them. They were openly praying for an economic disaster so they could pin it on Trump -- remember one of the talking heads in 2018 or 2019 saying that a recession would be worth it if they could win in 2020? Well, turns out the asshole might just get his wish.

This was the only thing they had that could possibly take out Trump, if something out of his control came and caused the economy to stumble. Now that it might be happening you can see them barely contain their fucking glee over it. Sure, we're set to have what, 50 million Americans die (350 million americans, 90% get it, 20% get it serious and need triage care with ventilators, our healthcare system can handle maybe 1% of the population) but oh well, WE'VE FINALLY GOT ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!

Which brings up an interesting idea.

What if the response to this was fucked up in part because they wanted to cause that recession they were praying for? Some deep staters ignored Trump's command and the CDC's urgings not to fly the fucking plague infectees into the country, after all.

It was perfectly possible to make this statement without using the word "racist" but you did it anyways. It's still stupid with or without it, but that one, extra word just makes the entire thing insufferable and guarantees that a huge chunk of the population is going to roll their eyes rather than even bother to entertain whatever Cherokee charade you're up to this time.

Warren is as pathetic as they come. Seeing her campaign fall precipitously, she tries to latch on to corona-chan in a desperate bid for attention and votes.

AP FACT CHECK: Democrats distort coronavirus readiness
By LAURAN NEERGAARD and CALVIN WOODWARDyesterday

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget.
He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.
More AP Fact Checks
A look at some of the Democrats’ remarks:

MIKE BLOOMBERG: “There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing.” — debate Tuesday night.
JOE BIDEN, comparing the Obama-Biden administration with now: “We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. ... He’s wiped all that out. ... He cut the funding for the entire effort.”
THE FACTS: They’re both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC. Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH. Instead, financing has increased.
Indeed, the money that government disease detectives first tapped to fight the latest outbreak was a congressional fund created for health emergencies.
Some public health experts say a bigger concern than White House budgets is the steady erosion of a CDC grant program for state and local public health emergency preparedness — the front lines in detecting and battling new disease. But that decline was set in motion by a congressional budget measure that predates Trump.
The broader point about there being “nobody here” to coordinate the response sells short what’s in place to handle an outbreak.
The public health system has a playbook to follow for pandemic preparation — regardless of who’s president or whether specific instructions are coming from the White House. Those plans were put into place in anticipation of another flu pandemic, but are designed to work for any respiratory-borne disease.
Among the health authorities overseeing the work are Dr. Anne Schuchat, CDC’s principal deputy director and a veteran of previous outbreaks, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIH’s infectious disease chief who has advised six presidents.

“The CDC’s response has been excellent, as it has been in the past,” said John Auerbach, president of the nonpartisan Trust for America’s Health, which works with government at all levels to improve the nation’s response to high-risk health crises. Some Democrats have charged that Trump decimated the nation’s public health leadership, but Auerbach said CDC’s top scientific ranks have remained stable during the past three years.
Will the preparations be enough?
One of the lessons learned in prior crises, such as the anthrax attacks, is not to offer false assurances when scientists have questions about the illness.
The CDC, for example, can accurately test for the virus but has struggled to get working test kits to state health departments. That’s key if there’s a need to rapidly increase the number of tests being performed.
The U.S. closed borders to travelers from China to buy time as preparations began but, “classically that’s not the way you address an outbreak,” Fauci told The Associated Press this week. “If you do it for a very limited period of time, temporarily until you can get things in order in your own country, it could have some benefit. But in general, the concept of closing borders, you cannot do that for an extended period of time.”
But with infections now in much of the world, one of the questions for U.S. policymakers is whether it’s time to modify any of those border or travel restrictions.

The the media reporting the orange man isn't that bad??

It's the AP. They're less of agenda-pushing twats compared to, say, NYT and WaPo. It's good that there are still major outlets with a bit of integrity.

The guy totally wanted to get away for real though, you guys! We had to use the fishing net and everything!

Dude even stopped the car when he had a clear road ahead of him to make a run for it. The actors were late in dragging out the spikes and moving the van to block him.

Are these people serious right now? Instead of talking about updates on the virus or giving tips on how to deal with it, people have to turn it into a Trump thing.
Because apparently that's the most important thing right now.

It's Twitter, though. It's mostly SJW idiots in there, normies being BTFO'd by "highly oppressed" people who do nothing but spend all day reeing and reporting accounts who dare disagree with them.

a lot of CEOs have stepped down recently. [insert conspiracy theories here]

Grace 🔎 on Twitter

“Major CEOs who stepped down in the past month: -DISNEY -MASTERCARD -LBRANDS -UBER EATS -HULU -MGM -IBM -LINKEDIN What's going on, y'all?”

twitter.com

https://archive.li/rUr0J

i think a lot of people have known that the gravy train's slowing down. little did they know it was going to slam into coronaville. good call on their part i guess?

No conspiracy there, some of those CEOs were heading companies that aren't delivering ever-increasing returns for investors. Normal CEO churn that just got a little spotlight from people who want to find more evidences of fallout from corona-chan. Sure, some stepped down so they won't have to carry bad fiscal quarters thanks to WuFlu on their records which might affect how many zeroes are lopped off on their next gigs, but not all.

You had to pick the worst one when you had a choice of Fallout 1, 2 or New Vegas.

As much as I enjoy seeing tards sperging on Twitter about the DRUMPFVIRUS, I'd rather see informative posts. But I guess I'm expecting too much from these people.

 

[Pokemonquistador2]

I dunno about the "CEO churn" being normal. Here's a graph over the past 12 years....

Somethin's got em spooked, that's for sure...


Anyone got any tips for apartment dwellers trying to ride out the pandemic? (Other than "Pretend you're in Anne Frank's attic and try to hide the fact that you exist" and "Pray that the street gang that bursts through your thin, plywood apartment door has the grace to kill you before raping your corpse and stealing your shit?")


And no, I don't have a gun. If I could afford a gun I'd be living in a fucking house....

 

[Coleslaw]

I wouldn't get excited, Shenzhen is very much its own beast. Its a hop and a skip from Hong Kong, and China's very own Silicon Valley (where the Social Credit score is pioneered). Anyone who can afford to live there hold themselves and their neighbours to higher standards than the rest of the country. Bar Shenzhen and a couple others, the lack of hygiene and sense of decency is so bad people eat whatever's available, and there are some that just defecate in the streets.

Hopefully it leads by example and starts a cultural drive nationwide to deter further infection, but this outbreak was never gonna originate from Shenzhen to begin with

The city is modern. The outer-ring suburbs are shit.

It's all still a senseless panic, on top of that. The majority of the panic is coming from raw speculation and news articles designed to whip people into a frenzy because if there's one thing that can generate attention and ad revenue, it's convincing everyone that there's a pandemic rushing up to their doorstep, so they sit there breathlessly slamming their face into the F5 key.

Newsweek begrudgingly told the truth about COVID-19, but only after vomiting up more panic into your eyes. Compared to other epidemics, this isn't even that dangerous. The only reason that it's causing any damage is because everyone is freaking the fuck out and when China hit the brakes, it dragged the world's economy to a halt along with it. An insane, authoritarian government that was responsible for the Tienanmen Square overreacted. What a shocker.

Ebola has a mortality rate of 25%-90% depending on the outbreak. MERS has a mortality rate of 35%, and SARS had a mortality rate of 10%. COVID-19 is still squatting anywhere from between 1%-3% and those numbers are being skewn by places like Iran and China, because Iran's healthcare is so fucked that it's more dangerous to go to the hospitals for treatment than it probably is to just stay home, and because COVID-19 is a respiratory infection and everyone in China has fucked-up lungs because of the pollution, they're much more susceptible to the infection.

Even with that factored in, we're still at 1%-3% in shit-heap, third-world conditions.

People just want to panic because the person next to them is panicking because the person on the internet told them to panic and it's just gotten ridiculous. Do you know what happens when everyone panics and they have no real grasp on the reality of the situation? You get the Battle of Los Angeles. On February 24th, 1942, just a few months after the U.S. had entered World War II, the entirety of the U.S. Army and the Coastal defenses spent the entire night sounding off alarms and then an entire hour firing every single bullet and mortar and weapon they could find at: Absolutely fucking nothing.



Because there were no real targets and people were blind-firing out of sheer panic because the person beside them was blind-firing in sheer panic, all of the rounds fired fell on the city. Buildings were slammed with bullets and shell fire, cars were shot to hell, five people were killed as a result of the indirect fire, and we never measured the exact cost of all the damage caused. There was no incoming fire, there were no targets, there were no troops rushing up the beaches. It was just pure, senseless panic for an entire hour.

All of that happened because one dipshit thought that he saw something, and every dipshit standing beside him started doing the same damned thing. Does COVID-19 present a modicum of danger? Absolutely, but the sheer level of panic we're seeing over it is completely disproportionate and it's significantly more dangerous than COVID-19.

U.S. Health Workers Responding to Coronavirus Lacked Training and Protective Gear, Whistle-Blower Says

Team members were not properly trained, lacked necessary gear and moved freely around and off military bases where Americans were quarantined, a complaint says.

www.nytimes.com

Travis AFB is in Solano County. The person who was hospitalized with coronavirus infection is also from Solano County. If this is true holy shit what are they thinking? I know the writers are doing their best to make Trump look bad but these are federal government employees who should know better.

No PPE during transit of quarantine patients proves that the Travis AFB Base Commander huffs glue. He should've had the receiving line for Corona-chan's new friends be geared up in MOPP 4, not just shitting around in Blues or ABUs/OCPs.

The B in CBRNE means biological - biological, as in disease. Disease that can kill your Airmen dead. The JSLIST suit will at the very least block/contain coof droplets and the filters on the M50 mask are better than literally nothing. Here's hoping the commanders of other quarantine bases aren't as complacent as Travis's. From what I've read, March ARB is doing good on their quarantine, despite the wannabe blockade runner. Not sure what Lackland's deal is.

Don't get me wrong, mass panics can be as dangerous if not more dangerous than the threat itself in many instances. However, anyone whom takes the Corona virus threat lightly is an idiot imo. I'm not denying that the (((media))) is trying to make people panic in order to hurt Trump, but they are only doing this because saying "Trump is an ebil wacist for taking proper precautions" was not convincing anyone. If anything, Trump is taking the ideal stance on the matter which is "don't panic, but don't be fucking retarded" which is the standard intelligent stance in any crisis situation.
