Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[dopy]

releasing info to see the public's reaction

why do you think public opinion matters to people that actually make decisions

 

[RodgerDodger]

I didn’t say I used public transportation. I said I work in public transportation. As in, public transportation is my job. Literally the worst job to have in a pandemic.

Oh gee, oh look. A city full of screaming people and carrion birds. That’s totally not scary or anything.

Just to play Devil’s Advocate here. The likely reason for the large number of birds is things like Garbage pickup have been shut down and quarantined for weeks in Wuhan. The locals are just dropping the garbage off their balconies.

also with the lack of humans wandering around and few automobiles, animals will naturally attempt to scavenge what they can and "reclaim" space.

Dude. If you have any time to catch some ZZZs I would take it; You are throwing yourself into a frenzy.
Some of your concerns are valid, but letting fear control you instead of using it productively is just going to waste energy and give you insomnia.

I guess Costco is the only place these people shop.
I did my normal 7am sunday morning run to my new england regional grocery store to get fresh produce and tard cum/eggs. I figured if the lot was full I would nope the fuck out. I don't really need anything. It looked normal. Inside the normal small group of 70+ year olds doing their shopping. Only thing that stood out was a guy in his 20's that looked like the "doomer" meme. He had a cart full of canned goods and frozen shit.
Zero hand sanitizer but this place doesn't really have a big selection of that normally. All other products looked like normal levels.

That's why I'm glad there's a local smaller grocery store in a small shopping center not far from me. Most people go to the larger chains in my neighborhood when the smaller store has things for very cheap so you can buy more and it's easier to just go in and out.
It was also missing the hand sanitizer.

China moved 40 mobile incinerators into Hubei and instituted internet blackouts.

China deploys 40 incinerators amid fears of coronavirus death toll 'cover up'

Chinese media reports that the mobile furnaces – used for burning animal carcasses and medical waste – have been shipped to the centre of the Covid-19 outbreak

www.dailystar.co.uk

Modular incinerators in shipping containers. 40 great big ones.

How many bodies do you think they had to burn? How many people do you think died at home when the hospital beds ran out and all the temporary infirmaries were full?

Can you imagine sitting in a hospital waiting room, waiting to be seen and treated, when right across from you, on a couple of benches, are dead people in body bags?

Shit might be getting real. Just a rumor, but that they're even putting this out there...

Spoiler: Shut it down?

New York Stock Exchange considers shutting trading floor amid coronavirus fears as Wall Street firms tell workers to prepare to work from home

Spoiler: Shut it down?

• The New York Stock Exchange is considering closing its trading floor amid concerns the conoravirus outbreak will spread into a wider pandemic
• Wall Street firms already have started restricting travel and advising workers they may have to work from home
• Most trading is done electronically and few traders actually still report to the trading floor, which is closed and will not reopen until Monday

The New York Stock Exchange is considering shutting its trading floor amid panic the spread of coronavirus could lead to a global economic disaster.
'NYSE preparing for possibility floor can't open amid panic,' Fox News reporter Charles Gasparino tweeted just before the markets closed on Friday.
Wall Street firms are also restricting travel and telling employees they may have to work from home, Gaparino said.

US stock indexes fell sharply again on Friday as the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak raised the alarm for a possible global recession.
The Dow Jones Industrial average was down 357 points at the closing bell, or 1.4 percent, marking seven straight days of losses and the biggest weekly drop since the 2008 global financial crisis

Investors are reeling after virus fears wiped nearly $3 trillion off the combined market value of S&P 500 companies this week, with the index confirming its fastest correction in history in volatile trading on Thursday.
Globally, some $6 trillion, or about 10 percent, has been erased from stock values as markets in Asia and Europe plunged on fears that the outbreak will shrivel corporate profits there. At their heart, stock prices are determined by expectations of a company's future profits.
Even as the outbreak eases in China, investors have been rattled by the rapid spread of the disease in other countries, which now account for about three-quarters of new infections.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated the central bank was prepared to cut interest rates as necessary to help cushion the economy against the effects of the spreading virus.
'The fundamentals of the US economy remain strong,' he said in a statement released on Friday. 'However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity.'
'The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring developments and their implications for the economic outlook,' he said. 'We will use our tools and act as appropriate to support the economy.'

I knew Cali would be the weak link, now is our chance to wall it off for good.

I went to the store last night and this one Asian was looking at the frozen meat. He coughed right near the direction of the food. We went far to the other side of the guy and avoided the meat.

Isn't it infuriating? Could you figure out his age? I notice more of the bad hygiene practices coming from the 55+ range or from the recently immigrated. Unrelated but relevant - it's still common in some communities to have the grandmother care for her grandchildren while their parents work. I wonder if granny washes her mitts?

I know this thread has brought out a lot of emotions in people, some new if you haven't experienced a virus scare. What got people by then will continue to get people by now. Keeping a level head, sticking to the basics, and not abandoning critical thinking. If you don't have the Wuflu now, you're doing things right.

[Spl00gies]

UK panic buying is over-rated, especially so for online shopping. No more restrictions nor shortages than usual,(disregarding the general antibac/sanitizer 'shortage') noticed much stock-changes with other equal or more expensive chains. Bargains and deals on notably popular products remain the same.

We usually just go menty on bread an' mılk at the slightest hint of snow though, so fuck knows

 

[Rudy Russo]

A hospital in Chicago discharged an ILI patient with negative respiratory panel to home like...I don't know maybe 11-12 days ago?

That's not particularly a rare thing but if SARS-CoV-2 is potentially in your neighborhood you might not want to do that. This was shortly before the CDC spun up recommendations that made me think there was community spread somewhere.

So...it all kinda lines up with me thinking there's a silent outbreak in Chicago.

Lets be honest, with the numbers of people through Midway and O'hare daily i'd be surprised if there wasnt.

Siiiiiiiiiiigh okay. Here I come.

Look. We know this already. We've been talking about it for weeks. And you know something? We. Are. NOT. China. Will things get bad? Maybe. It's heating up on the coast and in shitholes like Iran. Our containment methods suck, yes. We should have been more on the ball, yes. But again. We aren't China. We aren't Iran. People will die. That's a given fact. But you freaking out like a headless chicken is overblown and autistic beyond words.

I'm nervous about this shit too. But I'm being positive about this. I'm pretty confident that I'll be fine--I'm still in my 20's with no underlying health conditions so I'm prepared for some gross flu time if it hits me. I'm more concerned with my older loved ones in this scenario. But I'm still prepared and I'm still not giving in to complete and total nihilistic panic. That would be stupid as fuck.

Places like China and Iran are breeding grounds for awful shit. Living there was already a death sentence. But this isn't those places and it's not going to be those places. The next 18 or so months might be rough. But we don't live in communist or islamic dictatorships where spit and shit go hand in hand with daily life all over the goddamn city.

Relax. Take a nap and eat a nice meal. Go outside and smell the roses. The sky isn't falling and we're not about to LARP The Stand or whatever the fuck scenario turns the plucky NEET into a chad hero. Just chill the fuck out. Remember that you're not a bat-eater who lives in smog-land. Shhhh.

THIS has nothing to do with Cali. This has to do with the FUCKING GREEDY 1%ERS WORRIED ABOUT LOSING THEIR MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET.

Why you think there is a spike on CEO's in the past last year. Cali had nothing to do with that. The real economics are just not there and Corona Chan with her lap dancing has exposed the truth about the lies of our economy.

As long as you consumers buy on credit the US economy continues to go along nicely for the super rich.

He was definitely middle aged. I wasn't near him but he was a slow moving older man. If I had to guess I would have said he was at least in his late 50's. When I went to the same store in February there were a few people further away who were coughing as well. All of them were boomer white people. Every time I've been to this store and people were coughing it's always old people and they all coughed in the air.
When we were looking at the clearance items this asshole old white guy was coughing near us and we were like "fuck that" and exited quick.

 

[Lithos]

Even Worst Korea is handling this well, and they have had an explosion of cases along with a doomsday cult not exactly helping things along. They've controlled their death rate, unlike, say, Iran. More people are dying in Italy.

What may be interesting is to see if Korea really does play Crush-a-Cult.

I avoid low income areas and areas heavily populated with immigrants. Most Asians shop at 99 Ranch and eat at their restaurants which leaves the rich white shopping centers wide open. It's worth the extra mileage for the unseen exclusivity of white boomertowns. Plus, the women stay in shape and wear yoga pants. I ain't even had to pay for that. Unfortunately, the exclusivity disappears when you have to navigate the day laborer filled parking lots of Jome Deepo and Fa King Hak is still buying the wrong mask. And he's coughing.

 

[simulated goat]

I didn’t say I used public transportation. I said I work in public transportation. As in, public transportation is my job. Literally the worst job to have in a pandemic.

Oh gee, oh look. A city full of screaming people and carrion birds. That’s totally not scary or anything.

Interesting videos, but I will point out a couple of things. One is the fact that garbage has been piling up in Wuhan streets for weeks. Of course that will bring the crows out.

The other is a phenomenon you can witness for yourself in King county. Certain species of crows literally commute daily, flying into the city in masses of thousands of birds at dawn and flying back to their nesting area at dusk. You can see this by driving up to north Lake Washington around sunset sitting in the Safeway parking lot and watching the skies as thousands of crows head back up to somewhere around Woodinville, in a long dense river of birds that takes at least a half hour to pass.

I don't know for certain if either of those scenarios is true in those vids, but the behavior of the birds is likely unexceptional.

I wish you good luck. Please calm down, if this is a dire emergency you're going to need that energy calm and focused for the sake of your loved ones and others around you.

I was following this stuff in near-real-time elsewhere, and I realized about a month ago when I saw the first people collapsing with seizures that this thing was neurological (in some people, not all). Good to know people were keeping track.

There are some mitigating factors, especially in the US. Our infrastructure is better than China’s. We don’t breathe smog or drink sewage from our tap water (Wuhan and other cities in China have infamously had E. Coli coming out of their taps; a terrible thing to have with a waterborne or sewage-borne illness like this). We don’t have floor drains in most of our apartments. We are averse to public transportation and a lot of us have our own cars or we bike. We also have state-of-the-art hospitals. Our population densities are also a whole lot lower.

I can only hope that these factors, in combination, help arrest the spread to the point where it’s manageable.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Though technically some posters touch on the us having regulation to make sure some of the important shit in the military can still be manufactured in the USA.

No way this doesnt happen after this is over for protective equipment and drugs. Pols looking good to the voters and corps getting government money, never mind it being the right thing to do makes it almost assured.
