What is it with you and this tired metaphor?
It's funny. Come up with a funnier metaphor and maybe it'll get some use.

I wonder if the wild iguanas or the rampaging gangs of herpes monkeys can carry it.
You'd be more likely to get salmonella from an iguana. Could see monkeys carrying corona-chan.

I'm posting my favorite bat video to celebrate 500 pages. How anyone could eat these critters is appalling.
Bats are friends, not food. They protect humanity from maleria-chan. No eatey.

Here's a bat that wants to hang out by someone's monitor.


Going to suck if benzos are one of the disrupted medications. Withdrawals from those are horrifying. Same goes for antidepressants.
 
A little birdie told me that there are Coronavirus patients in Ireland, and that one is in Saint Vincent's.
Not about to TMI or dox myself but they're reliable. Take it how you wish.
But I can tell you that measures are extremely lax. Students that have been to northern fucking Italy are still let into schools.
The gov tells people to self-quarantine only if you experience a fever etc within 2 weeks.
Yeah, that's going to help so much after coofing all over everybody else :stress:

Trust me, forget the masks, get paracetamol and gastrointestinal protectors by the fucking kilo. You're gonna need them. And stock up on water.
 
The dog is being quarantined at an animal facility, the Hong Kong government said. The department strongly advised that pets of confirmed virus patients also be put under quarantine.[/spoiler]
That sucks. Fuck you, Corona-chan, that's not cool. Leave the pets out of this.

They'd better humanely put that poor pup down and tell him he's a good boy, if they have any soul at all. This is China we're talking about, of course, so he'll probably only just narrowly escape being boiled alive because he's "contaminated."

ETA:
Similar to Canada, almost the entire Chinese population is covered by state-run health insurance. But since the coverage doesn’t extend to many essential services, people still have to pay a large share of medical expenses from their own pockets.
Everyone pays in, everyone is "covered" by insurance ... that doesn't actually cover anything. So it is socialized, it's just shit.

I got a student health alert from my old college in the Republic today and was glad to see that the third-level institutions are taking wuflu seriously... then actually read it and realized it was about storm Jorge :stress: :stress: St Patrick's day is going to be an interesting one at this rate.
 
In Norway they had to walk back a statement to students in the capital where they advised them not to perform acts of intimacy such as hugging, kissing, or similar.
Apparently it didn't take too long until people became upset at being advised at how to not potentially spread the virus.
This might not be the big one, but when it comes we're fucked, nobody has any survival instinct anymore, it's all feels.
 
Wow, now it seems no numbers can be trusted. It really, really shows that people want this comfortable life forever. No conflict, no strife, just endless arguing about bullshit and censoring people to the point where you can't say 'women don't have penises' will get you prison time. And now that we have something real coming down the pipe, "Its just a flu bro" and "Naw, don't worry".

I'd like to remind people we're just beginning. If this was a hurricane, it just hit the edge of Puerto Rico. It hasn't even ramped up yet. We're looking at known facts:
  1. An incubation period of 14 to 24+ days, likely indicating multiple strains with varying lethality, incubation and infection, which is causing this chaos
  2. Multiple vectors of infection, including airborne, urine as well as fecal
  3. No testing on any sort of mass scale has begun
  4. The numbers are certainly unknown and we are 100% being lied to.
  5. It has probably ravaged China to a degree that is unseen for a disease in modern history in an industrialized nation. Them turning production back on is a desperation move to prop up a fake and ravaged economy. They're not even bothering to report numbers with any certainty anymore. If they're cutting down infection, they are simply killing people and rolling them into mass graves or cremating them.
  6. People are treating this casually and still spreading it around because they're consummate narcissists
  7. Governments are all blatantly lying to try to preserve any economic damage before it really explodes.
All this shit about vaccines: All of these are extremely rushed products. I guarantee this is what they're doing: they're heat shocking corona and inactivating it, pumping it full of preservatives, estimating the doses and grabbing mice out of their cages and just pumping them full of this shit at various doses and then exposing them to corona for two weeks to see if they up and die. No other way this shit is human trial ready in a month.

Lots of masks disappeared from Bellevue as well and I bet my money some enterprising city employee took some to sell on eBay.

100% People are flipping them. But you shouldn't buy a mask. Buy a respirator with two cartridges. They last you six months and are reusable. Just disinfect by spraying with alcohol.

Again, do not buy masks. At this stage, if it lasts a month you need to change the mask constantly. You just need to disinfect a respirator.

Is this then the case of "it couldn't be this exceptional unless it was real"? :biggrin:



Good shit .



"Bacteriophages: The Enemies of Bad Bacteria Are Our Friends!
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria but are harmless to humans. "


WE HAD AN ALLIANCE YOU BASTARDS.


#CoronavirusOP

Bacteriophages as antibiotics were being looked at for a long time.

So what is the Kiwis opinion on this?


Total bullshit.

You contract that shit because you get sick from something else while your defenses are already down.
This Corona virus will literally destroy your lugns by itself if left to its own devices which is much rarer with the normal flu.


Here's one of the few public sources that talks about how it kills:

It's nasty. "This is what scientists refer to as a “cytokine storm,” which causes the immune system to start sending cells ready to do battle into the lung. At that point, it’s not just the virus doing damage to the body; the immune system begins wreaking havoc on the infected person — also known as the “host” in medical parlance. "

I remember them going early on 'lol no it doesn't cause a cytokine storm'

Me: "I bet it causes a cytokine storm"

Now: "It causes a cytokine storm"

Nigger, its a pneumatic lung infection, how do you not see that shit coming?

Let's not underestimate the human immune system. There was a time when there were no doctors or medicines for healing.

Itll be ok.

You're fully underestimating human immune response. A majority of the time its the human immune response that kills us. Our system over responds, increases inflammation, floods our lungs with fluid and drowns us. A cytokine storm is a direct immune response to us freaking the ever-living fuck out and basically going on a school shooting rampage by blowing holes in literally everything, allowing for multiple secondary infections and just killing us very quickly.

The human immune response is amazing, good, but it will also kill the living fuck out of you very quickly. A fever is an immune response. You have to remember the immune response follows chemical modulators. It doesn't know its reactions are killing you and generally doesn't modulate fast enough to save your ass. Most drugs we take (steroids, anti-inflammatories) respond directly to the response of our immune system to modulate it. Steroids crush the immune response because it is actively killing you. We are not expertly designed machines that can ramp up and slow down on a whim. Our immune system was designed by random chance and it shows. While it is brilliant, it is a supremely imperfect system.

The basic principles of pharmacology rely on: 1) Assisting our immune system and 2) Modulating it.

To go, "Oh yeah, our immune system will handle it" when you basically have a mass over-reaction, uncontrolled inflammation and fever and then you fucking die because of it, your immune system did handle it, by fucking murdering you.

Spoke with EMT friend near San Diego. Take this with a grain of salt.

3 people - 2 EMTs and a Nurse - near LA are in self-quarantine. They suspect they have the corona virus.

They are complaining in WhatsApp because a) they don't have test kits and b) test kits in CA have to be sent to the CDC for confirmation. There's only 2 labs at the CDC that can do the testing. They are saying hospitals should be able to do their own testing.

EMT friend knows one of the guys, says he's a little political. Involved with the CA Nurse Union. Thinks this could be a stunt, but maybe for the right reason: 2 labs means big backlogs of test kits.

The kits are ludicrously expensive and who the hell knows how quickly they're put together.

The last time a new virus (Spanish Flu H1N1) ravaged the earth it came in waves. If you caught it and recovered the first time around you were more likely to survive the subsequent, mutated waves. During the second wave young healthy adults with no prior exposure died from the cytokine storm overwhelming their immune system and older people who had been exposed to similar flu strains years earlier survived. War, hospital wards and troop travel exacerbated the infection rates. This coronavirus might behave in the same way as air travel is more prevalent and the globalist agenda demands a complicated and far off supply chain.
It's a mutated strain that has me worried and the screeching from the Twatterati about racism and Drumpfvirus makes me hope Coronachan annihilates them first. :optimistic: I know but still within the realm of possibility.

More than likely we're going to start seeing explosions of clusters thanks to the 24 day incubation period. Re-infection is possibly more lethal, but will be less dangerous in the US than in China.

I mean, mutated strains might mutate up or down. Its too early to really predict as we're still in the start phase of this shit-show.

As I've said before, if shit comes out that this was a genetically enginnered bio weapon, on top of bringing global manufacturing to a standstill(tanking economies):

That motherfucker is a deadman..

You don't fuck with the global elite's money, even if it's unintentional...

Would bet certain people in Washington, who have access to certain information the average person doesn't have, know for sure, and also know a bunch of related things. Believe this was man-made. Don't believe it was intentionally let out, but Chinese can be lax in their practices.

Don't buy the bat/pangolin/whatever story at all. As previously stated, spent over three years in Korea when things were still somewhat rough. Went to the local outdoor/semi-indoor market all the time. Tons of other Americans from the nearby base also went, just like they did at markets all over Korea in towns next to US bases. Never a word about respiratory diseases being caught at the market. If that had happened the base would have put the market off-limits in a heartbeat.
 
I don't think they want to admit how much is dependent on china, imaging the run on stores it would cause if they admited most of the drugs used to fight corona will have a shortage.

Few things first You say that like europe cares about it's citizens. Second it is, the healthcare system of china was designed to be entirely state funded but after a certain amount of years though they couldn't recoup the cost. Much like if you have a rare or unusual disease you'll have a hard time getting treatment in europe. Third you really need to brush up on history if you think a communist government has or will ever have safety nets. I don't care what your professors may have told you but when you go full socialist the money generators leave and you run out of money quick. Finally one of the reasons our healthcare is so expensive is that we are subsidizing the worlds medication. Since we are the only place that doesn't demand fixed prices companies will recuperate their loses from us. The solution for the U.S. is to let europe take care of itself.

But please do go on about what true Comunism is, I implore you.

The only reason most European countries are able to still afford there healthcare system is because we supply funding and their military. If the world would supply for itself we wouldn't be so strapped for cash.

lmao, straight up boomer talking points. My professor told me? Do you watch a lot of PragerU? The whole point was that there are countries that have socialized healthcare where you don't have to have insurance or pay out of pocket on top of it, like European countries. It's possible to have this, China just sucks. And yeah, I do believe European governments care more about their citizens than China's. And your economic theory on why Europe can afford socialized healthcare is just wrong and dumb.

It feels to me like all of this leading up to the perfect storm of pandemics.
 
I like how people are calling this the #TrumpFlu despite him literally waging a trade war on China.
Or the ones who called him a xenophobe with the "Muslim ban" that wasn't a ban on Muslims or complained about "his stupid wall" now bitching that he's a moron because he didn't shut down all travel the instant we heard the first Chinese lies?

This right here is what will ultimately do us in. You can't stop a virus' spread with stupidity like this being so widespread and common. People are arrogant, narcissistic, stupid and most of us no longer have any real survival instincts at all. I have no faith in my fellow man to not get infected and to not spread it to me if they do.

This is what will spread this virus to everyone on earth, and then we'll all get to roll a pair of 10-sided dice to see if we hit that lucky 3%.
 
@ballslols everything ok over there? You havent updated this thread in a bit, so I'm assuming no news is good news or you made yourself a kiwi bunker and fucked off
No just really busy with work. Only cases we have so far are the ones from the Diamond Princess. I will admit I have been prepping quite a bit but I'll make a more comprehensive post on India's situation in a couple of hours
 
I'm like fifty pages behind, trying to catch up but I wanted to check this out. It's been a month, wanted to see if any new satellite images of Wuhan/China have been released, but I guess I'm too stupid to know where to look. So instead, I decided to check the air pollution stats.

Well that doesn't look bad. If it's in the green/high yellows, guess the air quality's going up.

What's all of China looking like?

Folks, once again, DO NOT TAKE COUNSEL OF YOUR FEARS. Am going to reiterate this every time I sense "The sky is falling!" No need to do this to yourselves. And don't let the MSM get you all aggravated. They just want the eyes/clicks, don't give a shit about the real picture.

Keep in mind even during the Spanish Flu of 1918, the vast majority of people either never caught the disease or caught it and recovered. Same thing's going to happen here.

Lots of good, thought provoking info and analysis here. Use common sense, for crying out loud. Watch where you go if there are cases in your area. Cover your sneezes. Wash your hands. Stay hydrated.

Will also say this. In my opinion, the vast majority of KFers are relatively young and healthy. Doubt you have much to worry about. But take care of yourselves, especially for those of you who have elderly/already in poor health/infant and toddler relatives. They'll be more at risk, and they may well need your help. You may be all they have.
