Who is this based chinaman? What are his sources?

Here's a mass burial in what looks like Iran (archive)

Going to COSTCO to prepare today lads. What should I get?

ATM I think the 10lb bag of rice, big box of Brita filters, the 25lb bag of all purpose flour, the 10 gallon jug of canola or peanut oil, 5lbs of powdered tard cum (or maybe the shelf stable tard cum if they have it in bulk), 10lbs of beans, 10lbs of butter (you can freeze it), bulk jerky, though not sure how much, a big bag of potatos, onions, and a couple blocks of their big ass cheese.

Don't know if this is enough for 3 people to last 2 months if we need to self quarantine. Thoughts?

Am I supposed to believe that the healthcare industry is sourcing PPE from the same stores as the average citizen?

More concerned about the fact that we have a Surgeon General who sends out official statements that start with "Seriously people!"

I went this morning before it opened, the line was around the building after I arrived. There was a rush on paper goods, medicines, and antiseptic/cleaners. They got cleaned out fast of all hand soap and hand sanitizer, people don’t seem to be going for the meds as much. There was no more rubbing alcohol and there was just a crazy line for water and paper goods.

I got all that shit before new cases were announced. I’m going to tell my boss I’m working from home if my company doesn’t announce anything first by Monday and keeping my wife and kids home too.

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

Oh SHIT that is DSP's county lol. Here we go guys watch the left go crazy.

I hope to fuck that the pigroach becomes America's first superspreader when he gets infected by a pizza deliveryman, is asymptomatic, and floods the bankruptcy hearing with angry spittle.

 

[Pina Colada]

We need more details, like the patient's age and whether he/she had previous health issues. I bet you it was some 70 year old with a concurrent ailment

Ditto if he’s Asian or not.

What should rural kiwis do to prepare?

Avoiding crowded public spaces is quite easy, and if food stops coming into the shops altogether wouldn't that signal more of a civilisational collapse than anything else? I'm not prepping for that, just wing it

probably won't even care about it, his entire job is to sit at home and play games, if anything he will probably profit from this whole thing by having more people at home and more people to watch his cahntent

Trump has just begun speaking at this press conference. So far some shit about the Taliban though, but supposedly going to talk about Corona:

Find a church and start praying.

The President just said the death was a late 50s woman considered medically high-risk.

He said "medically high-risk", woman in her late 50s.

We need weapons and seeds. Grow your own food and keep out the suburban and city folks out. I never liked hunting as a kid, but I'm glad I have that skillset now that the end days are upon us

 

[Phalanx]

WOW that was fucking exceptional, they are not pushing self-quarantine. Its not a life saver because, their numbers are way down because THEY AREN'T FUCKING REPORTING THEM!!!!!!

This is literally gaslighting live.

45 million masks... is that all. They honestly have no idea what to do.

Goodbye America, you are FUCKED!!!!

 

[Figger Naggot]

Trump just said those that are healthy may go through a "process". Not what you love to hear.

 

[RodgerDodger]

It's not exactly gaslighting for 2 reasons.
1- SURGICAL masks (the hospital ones) really are meant to keep the doctor from infecting the patient, not the other way around. So they're worthless. It's only actual masks than work.
2-as I said before not only are masks useful only in a very limited set of circumstances (droplets don't get very far before evaporating or falling to the ground) but also most people will get infected anyway because they don't know how to take them off properly (don't touch the mask only the string), or get infected by doorhandles, their clothes, touching their face too much or just not cleaning their hands enough. For the average citizen they are WORTHLESS it's only preppers and people who have used them before that realize that shit. So while he didn't explain enough, he wasn't wrong in the sentiment.

Even the n95’s are of limited benefit. Most Corona Virus’s are small enough to penetrate them. The masks only become useful in a dense contact situation. Such as healthcare workers providing direct care to infected patients. For normies the only place they might provide some benefit is in a densely packed situation. Like an Asian commuter train. There is almost no place in the US that would equal those those types of dense human contact. While airborne the biggest risk will be surface contact. Hence wash your hands a lot and use hand sanitizers. The average persons greatest risk of airborne infection will be from those you live withor work very closely with.

What should rural kiwis do to prepare?

Earth Abides this is not. Don't be medically high risk, don't be constantly ill, don't be exceptional and you'll most likely be just fine.

Please pray for me

Honestly rather hear about today's groundbreaking agreement that comes after 2 years of negotiations with the Taliban than day forty of coronachan

From Livestream: Pence just announced Level 4 travel advisory on Italy and S Korea

Also announced Iran is now under double secret travel ban

 

[MediocreMilt]

Also announced Iran is now under double secret travel ban

I'm splitting my attention atm so I can't decide if this is snark about no Iran travel ban, so at the risk of farming puzzle pieces, I'll remind everyone that the US already bans travel to Iran due to international politics.
