Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[XYZpdq]

Did I miss the "Do you know who I am" copypasta? Or a Liam Neeson meme?

Anyway, Florida is where old people come to die. Agricultural land is torn up to make more and more 55+ housing communities. Clinics for days. But these communities are in more isolated areas, so keeping them quarantined may not be as big of a problem. Now here's the anecdotal "I've talked to health care people over here" thing. Which I have. They're not as worried about things here. They feel that it'll burn itself out, at least in hotter portions of the state. Supermarkets give away free vaccines and give you a coupon for produce.

I wonder if the wild iguanas or the rampaging gangs of herpes monkeys can carry it.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WENT FROM 0 TO 100 FAST.

Do you remember when WHO said China numbers are slowing down. Yeah Teddy you dumb fuck because the rest of the world is getting diagnosed. I feel here in the UK its going to get around really fast. Our hospitals cannot cope with this level and some towns which have high Old people amounts will become massacre staging grounds.
The hospitals cannot cope with quarantine and self quarantine is going to fail and we already have non-existent law enforcement.

We are going to see countries declare martial law in the next coming weeks especially the European countries.

What is more interesting is that power structures are starting to deteriorate quickly because we have not had a Pandemic like this in over 100 years even then the Spanish Flu was localised. I am not going to lie I am enjoying the fuck out of the Boomer killer disease.

Edit YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB!!!!!

You are recommending people to keep washing their hands. We are all fucked.

The reason why they're telling people to wash their hands is because that's one of the quickest ways this virus spreads everywhere else. It's in places where regular hand washing is just not a thing. This is why China is fucking disgusting and covered in a thin layer of collected mucus of a few million chinks snorting bogies on every surface and is why it's spreading at a fucking hilarious rate that the Chinese still haven't gotten hold of. That applies to most of their food preparation areas too, which is likely another reason it's spreading so much across portions of Asia.

In Iran they're going out of their way to fuck things up, by not restricting mosque visits or communal meals to try and defy the virus somehow they're going to wind up with a lot of dead on their hands.

It's known that the virus can be beaten by keeping clean, and keeping surfaces clean. To the point the radio now runs regular adverts telling people to wash their hands a bit more regularly than they used to. I saw a man at a show I was at recently be given all sorts of filthy looks for not washing his hands. It's getting out there.

We're ranked second in the world for preparedness of the Coronavirus and isolation wards and rooms are being set up in hospitals all over the country, including all the hospitals in Derbyshire and elsewhere.

I doubt we'll see an Italian-style mass outbreak here in the UK. It's been weeks now since the Wuhan Travel tour went through and that turned into a fucking nothingburger too.

The entire M.E. relies on 'Inshallah' a bit too much.

"No benefit has been found in those with other health problems. Influenza spreads around the world in yearly outbreaks, resulting in about three to five million cases of severe illness and about 290,000 to 650,000 deaths. About 20% of unvaccinated children and 10% of unvaccinated adults are infected each year."

Flu, about 13% death rate.

My elderly mom has to take a flu shot.

Influenza (“the flu”) and COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, are both infectious respiratory illnesses. Although the symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu can look similar, the two illnesses are caused by different viruses.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 vs. the Flu

www.google.com

As of Feb. 27, 2020, the flu is showing much more of an impact on Americans than COVID-19. You can find up-to-date information on COVID-19 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Lisa Maragakis, M.D., M.P.H., senior director of infection prevention at Johns Hopkins, explains how the flu and COVID-19 are similar and how they are different.

Similarities: COVID-19 and the Flu
Symptoms

• Both cause fever, cough, body aches, fatigue; sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
• Can be mild or severe, even fatal in rare cases.
• Can result in pneumonia.

Transmission

• Both can be spread from person to person through droplets in the air from an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking.
• A possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route (see details below under Differences).
• Flu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear, and COVID-19 is believed to be spread in the same manner, but we don’t yet know for sure.

Treatment

• Neither virus is treatable with antibiotics, which only work on bacterial infections.
• Both may be treated by addressing symptoms, such as reducing fever. Severe cases may require hospitalization and support such as mechanical ventilation.

Prevention
Both may be prevented by frequent, thorough hand washing, coughing into the crook of your elbow, staying home when sick and limiting contact with people who are infected.

Differences: COVID-19 and the Flu
Cause
COVID-19: Caused by one virus, the novel 2019 coronavirus, now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2.

Flu: Caused by any of several different types and strains of influenza viruses.

Transmission
While both the flu and COVID-19 may be transmitted in similar ways (see the Similarities section above), there is also a possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route, meaning that tiny droplets remaining in the air could cause disease in others even after the ill person is no longer near.

Antiviral Medications
COVID-19: Antiviral medications are currently being tested to see if they can address symptoms.

Flu: Antiviral medications can address symptoms and sometimes shorten the duration of the illness.

Vaccine
COVID-19: No vaccine is available at this time, though it is in progress.

Flu: A vaccine is available and effective to prevent some of the most dangerous types or to reduce the severity of the flu.

Infections
COVID-19: Approximately 82,555 cases worldwide; 60 cases in the U.S. as of Feb. 27, 2020.

Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.

Deaths
COVID-19: Approximately 2,810 deaths reported worldwide; 0 deaths in the U.S., as of Feb. 27, 2020.

Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.

Why do you think the chingchongs are freaking out this much over it then?

I am just trying to get your reasoning. Do you think that chinese genes , air pollution and smoking make it that deadlier? In that case why did the flue not wipe them out 20 years ago?

If there are any ladies reading this post who have never sent boob pics, feel free to DM me with with boob pictures (preferably with "For Bender" written somewhere). You've never sent any before, I've never received any before. We'll both experience something new before drowning in our own lung fluids!

win/win, imo

It'll hurt any country with 3rd rate medical facilities, people with low immunity ( that's why the Black Death was so vicious) bad hygiene, bad food preparation, and close proximity.

The US is the only country other than a few European countries that even promote extreme cleanliness to the degree that it hampers pandemics.

Hey people one of my favorite YouTubers just started a stream, check him out.

 

[AltisticRight]

Btw, what is going on in India?
Only 3 cases, thats got me think...
I would not be suprised when it really hit 1000x more

Indians have world power by 2020 level of immunity. They have designated shitting streets and poo tier hygiene, everyone there is impervious to various weird viruses because they are evolved ahead of humanity when it comes to (lacking) hygiene standards.

 

[EmuWarsVeteran]

You're better of staying home and taking an antiviral med.

Staying home YES. The closer to medical facilities and emergency services the better.

Taking antiviral meds NO. Not until they are developed and you are diagnosed. Much like antibiotics, antivirals are SPECIFIC. Don't take antivirals you don't need.

Please stop. You're the kid banging on the glass of a monkey exhibit. She won't stop shitting up the thread until you stop giving her attention.

I really need to know the story. Is there a tl;dr?

It could have been contained had we cut off travel to China immediately. Also, if we were not repatriating people unless requiring appropriate PPE to prevent spread. This is spreading because China and the WHO didn’t react fast enough because they were worried about upsetting Xi the Pooh and waking the dragon. They were more worried about the economic effects of shutting down China than infecting the world.

 

[Aqua Panda]

So the leaked bioweapon thing is starting to spread about the normal population now. I travel a lot for work and I've been overhearing it in places that groups never talk about the news in.

While I'm personally leaning pretty hard toward press x to doubt on that, the worldwide geopolitical fallout from it would be some amazing drama.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Welp... 2 confirmed cases in Mexico, one in my town, both carrying it from Italy. I’m already getting stupid hoax chain messages on whatsap and seeing panic in social media.

If only someone could engineer a virulent and deadly virus that spreads through Twitter. It would lead to a new Golden Age.

 

[JustWhy]

I just can't understand - what local media says is sometimes not even a bit close to what people otside say or I read here or in articles , information true or not, one thing is sure that its closer and closer to me.
I would probably get fucked hard by corona virus, being freshly after other flu, more precisely two in row with <1month gap (weakened organism)

Also happy 500 pages

Wait so you're telling me the blue checkmarks aren't a symptom or TDS slowly making its way through the social media and rotting its carrier's brains faster than alzheimers?

My disappointment is unmessurable and my day ia ruined.
