Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Drain Todger]

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.

*beep*, wrong. Yes, I am a mechanic, and yes, they do use SO2 exhaust scrubbers on some newer ships:

LMAO, good luck with that. Downtown Seattle is overcrowded and filthy. There are homeless encampments just blocks away from the convention center where they live in total squalor with no sanitation. They can clean and sanitize the convention center as much as they want, but once the attendees step onto the street, all bets are off.

Yep, this and Coronavirus will be a good mix.

North Korea is kicking out every remaining foreign diplomat in Pyongyang this upcoming Friday. Flying 'em out to Russia. I wonder why?

So they fit large marine SO2 scrubber units to crematoriums so they could hide SO2 emissions and obfuscate the number of deaths... for some reason. Scrubbers that are rare in the west, let alone in China where they give no fucks about air quality and were somehow on land and portable and easily adapted in the time available.

Some people talk about Wuhan Crematoria in an equal and opposite manner to how /pol/ talks about Holocaust Ovens.

They've discovered the cure for CoV (bullet to the head) and don't want to risk leaking such a valuable secret.

Corona Chan takes New York.

Its only a matter of time we start seeing and hearing about the numbers of infected cases start growing in New York.

Who's going to clean and sanitize the comic con attendees? At the last convention I went to, they had notes in the program book reminding everyone to bathe and wear deodorant. If you think the homeless are unclean, wait until you meet a 350 pound woman dressed like Psylocke.

There are ways to jury-rig something like that very, very quickly. They’re trying to cover up the emissions from cremation so outsiders don’t notice, not because they give a fuck about pollution. They don’t. Just appearances.

Let me explain. Let me try to summarize that post I made earlier with all the spoopy sciency links.

This virus first causes a little flu.

Then, you get bilateral pneumonia in both lungs, with ground-glass opacities touching the lung edges.

Then, it sneakily infects your heart muscle with myocarditis, and your myoglobin from your heart breaks off into your bloodstream and gives you rhabdo, which gives you acute kidney failure requiring dialysis.

It also starts clumping up lumps of virus, bacteria, and dissolved tissues in your bloodstream, forming clots that can give you a heart attack or stroke.

Meanwhile, it’s infecting your blood vessels and giving you vasculitis, in your brain and other vital organs.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, this thing may have a symbiotic relationship with prevotella bacteria in your gut, combining with it like Voltron and then colonizing your gut bacteria.

Every time you defecate, you shit out lumps of virus/bacteria symbiote, which contaminate sewage and bodies of water.

When you die, your whole body becomes hazmat and must be incinerated immediately to prevent environmental contamination, otherwise, the virus may live alongside its bacterial colony as an anaerobic waterborne disease, or it may even attack and feast on other bacteria in water and in sewage, persisting in it for weeks, months, years, who the fuck knows?

Wuhan is fucked. The whole city will have to be torn down. It’s no longer habitable anymore.

This is a sci-fi pathogen like nothing we’ve ever seen. I’ve never even heard of a virus that acts as both a bacteriophage and something that attacks human tissues at the same time.

Now I'm not a doctor or anything but I diagnose this post with a terminal case of autistic bullshit. Because if what your saying is true the only way to stop this would be to fucking nuke it from orbit.

 

[LolNoIPLeaksEvenLMFAO]

Yo this shit is dope. I’ve made so much money off of this. I have a friend with out a very diverse portfolio and was like dude shits about to get fucked. Anyways, shorted the fuck out of tons of tech companies. I’m going to make a shit load off of Silicon Valley lmfao. Guess time to upgrade some shit?

Like I might buy my first legal machine gun thanks to our batsoup baby. Still it would be registered and a registered gun makes me sad... but I do love shooting with select fire. Hell its only 30k for some fun you only live once.

That's disgusting. I know it's customary for the Muslims to kiss the Cube in Mecca, but surely they should have some rule in their hadith against full-on tonguing.
