Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Feline Supremacist]

I'm posting my favorite bat video to celebrate 500 pages. How anyone could eat these critters is appalling.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

And where do you get 13%?

I don't know but I hear they're responsible for half.

That's not the way crematoriums work, tho and their uptick in activity can't be all blamed on Corona. You have to heat up the machines to begin with and then you actually have to burn the body which for most adults takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of the deceased. 4 to 6 hours wouldn't be productive for a creamatorium as you'd only be doing maximum of six bodies if it was a perfect 1 hr to burn 1 body and if you assume Wuhan has a standard death rate of 150+ people a day, like many large cities, when Corona isn't active, that's only 30 bodies a week per machine per crematorium. That's without considering the type and age of the machines they may be using.

Government mandate that all bodies be burned reguardless of cause of death is what's put them into hyperdrive. So it isn't the measure or tell that you'd think. As normally the deaths are more spaced, not so urgent to burn immediately, not all people choose cremation, etc.

There are too many factors at play. Some of the home deaths will be those who were sick from Corona and died and some will be elderly and young who needed other care but were too afraid of getting Corona to go to the doctor- like how many died of a burst appendix - we just don't know. Some will be people whose time is up, corona be damned. People haven't stopped dying from everything else because of Corona and there's probably a massive uptick of those dying from medical negligence because poor medical facilities are now overwhelmed by Corona.

Corona seems to target the elderly, smokers, those already sick with other maladies, ACE2 (?) receptors, and possibly males harder.

China has an aging population, less than stellar health facilites to begin with, prefer male children, heavy smoking culture, heavy air pollution, more receptors.

It's the literal perfect storm.

ANTI-SEMETIC!!!!

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

Much of the ME will probably be saved by it’s weather. From what I have been reading the experts are thinking this behaves like most other similar viruses and prefers dry cool to cold environments. This is why Flu season hits in the colder seasons. Higher Summer temperatures and higher humidity act as a natural disinfectant on this type of virus, and limits its ability to persist in the environment or spread airborne.

Sadly, (for them) Iran really isn’t the ME desert, and is a bit more temperate. Where things will get ugly is just as Corona-Chan will be finishing up her Norther Hemisphere tour, that’s when flu season kicks in down around Venezuela and such.

And if there is one thing Italy is known for, its their cold weather. Venice is freezing all year round

10,000 post, also the last response on page 500.
Congrats Coronachan. Now kill more politicians and religious heads instead of innocent citizens. A dead Satanic pope and someone in the DNC house would be a great start.
Not saying I condone it, but it will be lots of fun.

I think with SARS the magic temperature where it breaks down pretty rapidly in the environment is ~80 degrees F. So 26-27 degrees C. Pray for a hot Summer. Oh wait! WithChina shut down Global Warming has reversed! Corona-Chan has outmaneuvered us again!

US companies are announcing travel is suspended domestic and international. Peace out airlines and your inflated flight prices and decreasing service levels.

 

[Lithos]

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

Speaking of which, the Florida Department of Agriculture was sending out recipe cards, encouraging people how to sanitize and cook iguana in an attempt to encourage people to control the invasive lizards through barbecue. So, South Floridians, you have a potential food source on the side.

G*rmans should have share that marveluos 1940s technology for burning so many bodies entirely in so short time, that must have been very high temperature. How they managed that that many years ago, and now this takes so much time?
It could be useful for waste incinerator facilities and help planet clean. Why it is kept secret?

supposedly they're at least as far up as Ocala these days
I want the crazy homeless vet encampments in the Ocala National Forest to train them to be attack animals.

 

[spencer reid]

Not sure how reliable, can anyone confirm?

 

[Agent of Z.O.G.]

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.

Yeah looks like it.
Still it's more like a demonstration video, which means we do have these rad Half Life 2 checkpoints with Chemsuit SWAT but probably won't see em in action.

Illinois governor press conference.

This was mostly "Just a flu" platitudes or info anyone reading the thread already has, but there were some interesting tidbits:

• Recent arrivals from overseas are being monitored
• Sentinel screening is being employed
• IL is doing more than the Federal Govt. recommends
• They've done practice runs of disrupted medical supply chain and hospital overflow scenarios
• Plans are being discussed in the event that schools need to close, etc.
• Two new testing centers opening in Central and Southern IL

My state is still pretty exceptional but testing centers outside of Chicago isn't a bad thing.

She looks quite gaunt in that picture. Poor girl, 25 is so young.
Chinese men smoke like it’s going out of fashion. the big tobacco companies aggressively pushed their wares in China after being booted out of the west. No idea what rates are in Iran.

Couple of interesting papers out on the ACE2 receptors.
Take home messages are:
1. Number increases with age
2. Number increases with smoking

3. No significant differences in ACE2 number between races (this study is quite indirect though and has a number of caveat, I’d want to see this replicated directly with samples taken for the purpose not from tumour archives and with various tissues.

My limited pool of Iranians I know makes me think it’s common. The girl in premed doesn’t, I don’t know about her parents, and both guys I know smoke, one of which got here as a kid and the other born here and is only in his 20’s. The older one has confirmed severe air pollution as well with little prompting.

the Wu Flu has about 10,000 cases in CA and Super Tuesday is right aruond the corner. 2 weeks after is St. Patricks day and 4 weeks after that is Easter. and 4 weeks after that is May 5th. so basically LA will fall before June hits, in the best case scenario.

Cases Soar in Italy, Iran and South Korea as Alarm Grows

Financial markets were pummeled by the news. A whistle-blower complaint said that federal health workers were sent into quarantine areas unprotected and unprepared.

Not sure if this was posted already or not but NYC might have it's first case. Patient is under 50 and recently came from Italy.
Kinda hope it's negative but at the same time NYC is such a cesspool it deserves the kung flu.

 

[GoofyMcGoof]

Everyone just stop posting western puppet news.

Seriously, we're living in a world where North Koreans are more open and informative about the virus than most of the repetetion seen on DW/BBC/CNN/EURONEWS.

A very good spot if you haven't seen it yet:

How North Korea is reporting on coronavirus (English subtitles)

The Covid-19 coronavirus continues to spread across the world. It has infected more than 65,000 people and killed over 1,700. But there is little known about...

Hahahahha what fucking dumbasses downvoting this before even viewing it. Posted it a few min ago and it's 8.30 + min long.
It's selected by the private UK Channel 4 and all of the comments are positive with thousands of votes in them.
