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

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?

Once again just to provide an alternate hypothesis. While like you my first assumption was those portable incinerators were for bodies, to give credit the SO2 bloom over Wuhan seems to have faded. Which means they aren't charbroiling tons of meat. Since that's something picked up by weather satellites they can't really fake it. They are probably treating almost everything as Red Bag waste to be incinerated. The hospitals are generating thousands of pounds of it per day. I think they're just dumping the bodies in the newly dug plastic lined pit that they built near their super magnificent peoples glorious build in 6 days Hospital of Doom and Water Park.

As for the bodies in the ER. Yeah actually I've seen it quite a few times. Normies don't realize just how little room there is in most hospitals. And that hospitals believe it or not, are not well set up for dealing with dead people. At least not in any quantity. For a hospital to see more than 2 deaths at the same time is extremely rare. And that is generally a major disaster. Something like a bus crash or a spree shooter. While a hospital may deal with more deaths than that per day, It typically isn't a lot more. Most Hospitals are challenged to handle more than 2 simultaneous cardiac arrests. And getting more than 1-2 bodies down to the morgue in under an hour is unheard of. Granted most US Hospitals don't let the bodies stack up in the waiting rooms. That is considered inappropriate. They let them stack up in the hallways.

Can vouch for that crow thing, had 100’s arrive on a single afternoon once, gave them peanuts and a particularly friendly one a cuddle and then they went on their merry way after a nice little visit.

Never understood how crows and ravens became a mascot for the end times *sigh*, both are wonderfully friendly and intelligent animals, assuming you treat them with the respect and kindness they deserve. :)

A lot of people don't know that virus can fuck you up for life. When I started middle school a girl contracted west nile. Went from a normal 12 year old to basically a vegetable in less than a year. The 2% doesn't sound like a lot, but the 20% needing medical care is going to strain every healthcare system in every country this takes root in.

That sort of tragedy busts up families too. I once knew this family from a community group.Pretty much what one could consider to be solid, nice parents, intelligent, polite kids. Then the oldest daughter got West Nile and developed encephalitis. She was in the hospital for months and when she came out she was a potato just not there anymore. Between the daughter and the debt that had been accrued for her care, they lost everything.

The family imploded. The oldest son ran away because he couldn't handle it. The mother- who wound up being the child's main caretaker-went mad and the father took the two youngest kids, got a divorce, quit a secure job he'd worked over a decade at over some kind of trouble and left for parts unknown.

Now granted that story involves a kid and so far this hasn't been shown to be too bad for kids, but it shows the random injuries from these things can ripple out in awful ways and affect others.

Had a family member check Costco conditions in his area (midsize Great Lakes city), none of this is going on. Same where I'm at in TX. r/preppers has a number of threads reporting shortages by location if you can brave that particular flavor of autism (not linking). The tl'dr is most US places ok currently, sporadic panic buying of hygiene items esp. toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Oddly, bottled water? Bitch, this ain't a hurricane. Calm your tits and get you some bar soap.



If you are going to buy fish antibiotics and you know when and when NOT to use them, try thomaslabs.com

Went to Costco today (east coast) and yeah, can’t confirm. It was MAYBE a bit busier than normal, and the guy at the door was wiping down everyone’s cart handles with wet wipes, but no insanity like this.

Iran:

978 confirmed / 54 dead / 175 recovered

593 / 43 / 123

USA:

84 confirmed / 2 dead / 7 recovered

Last thursday the recovery number for the US was 6. Same space of time Iran reported 126 recovered. The US should find out how they're doing it cause its obvious irannumberone.

Either they’re not cremating bodies anymore, or their cremators now have SO2 scrubbers. Like the kind we use on Diesel engines in my industry.

I'll be lying on the street, waiting for death to come pick me up. Catch you lads on the other side 👍
I'm just going to my local walmart to buy rice and a few other things and stick it out from there.

I'm guessing you aren't one of the mechanics.
Particulate filters are for soot. DEF is to clean up NOx. Sulfur is cleaned up by removing it from the diesel fuel at the refinery. ULSD, yo.

SO2 scrubbers are at coal power plants. It's basically a bed of lime in the exhaust flue that fixes sulfur to calcium and makes gypsum.
