Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Mike Stoklasa]

Maybe it's a silly question but how exactly do places like the CDC find out if a virus mutated?



Honestly the only passing out I've seen on videos are bums in places like San Francisco who OD'd on drugs. That's in the last few weeks. I usually think it's related to something like that. It may not be illnesses.

I have yet to see any bona fide Americans dropping from COVID-19. But I have seen plenty of Chinese dropping from COVID-19. It is not here in that bad a fashion yet, but those days are not far off.

Just to prep people ahead of time. At least one or two people are probably going to avoid doctors and treatment long enough to be caught on video passing out on an American street.

Don't freak the fuck out when this happens. We are the third most-populous nation on Earth. It's going to happen.

Also remember that sometimes people collapse and it has nothing to do with Corona-Chan.

AGREED!

Most of you faggots need to be drinking more water every day anyway. DRINK MORE WATER!!!

this doesn't really need a thread. stick to the megathread.

Yeah that's already an average day on the west coast.

• People continue to collapse in the streets, including at least one soldier who collapsed

I watched one of the videos from Iran of this where the person was on the floor but was still using their phone. It's probably not that people are say, dropping dead, but the get to the point where the fever and whatnot makes them too weak to stay standing.

I've had a really bad bug before that caused this where I was fine for a bit and then I needed to lie down RIGHT NOW.

We shouldn't assume people are just dropping dead so much as getting overwhelmed and weak.

 

[The Last Stand]

All I need is hand sanitizer, vitamins, my mask and proper hygiene. I'll be fine.

It’s a hazmat suit for the urban commuter. And even though it’s just a concept, it can’t be realized soon enough.

So are you supposed to just walk in these all day?

 

[Bob's Fries]

Honestly what exactly happens during Quarantine? Will we still be able to get water, gas, and electricity?

My first thought was "If these are the retards in charge of our response, we're all going to die." My second thought was "If these are the retards in charge of our response, we deserve to."

 

[break these cuffs]

Wu is as likely to lead the other skinwalkers in an apocalyptic takeover of the world as the beer virus is to end it. 14,000 old people died during a heatwave in France in the early 2000s because old buildings don't have air conditioning. Things could get fucky, but you'll be fine if you don't live in some urban hellscape or near some liberal arts college with a bunch of foreign students.

Cool story. When's the book coming out?

E: fuck, ninja'd by a few seconds.

Per Governor Kemp's ongoing press conference, state of Georgia confirms 2 cases of Coronavirus. One recently returned from Italy and went straight to the doctor to seek testing. Good on that one.

Shit continues to hit the fan in Iran. A few tweets that stuck out:

Wuhan-esque corpse video, reportedly from Qom hospital, shows at least 50 body bags by my count. Official Iran death toll is 66 currently.

Twitter

I don't know how to archive video on this gay tablet, apologies

This Ali guy seems like one to watch for daily Iran updates. Here's his thread for today:

Twitter

Archive Archive2

• Deaths of high-ranking officials appear to have prompted the regime to take the wuflu more seriously
• People continue to collapse in the streets, including at least one soldier who collapsed
• Rumors that wuflu is in military barracks and prisons
• Talk of turning stadiums into hospitals
• Video showing what appears to be a hast burial site. At least these people got caskets and headstones. No hazmat suits tho. Harry Chen had a video on a similarly hasty burial with the suits minus the caskets and other accoutrements.
• Rumors that young, healthy people die too
• WHO finally sees fit to arrive, brings some PPE and testing kits

Hard to get confirmation on any of this and I don't speak Farsi but these do appear current. People are masked up and you can make out references to 'Corona' in the chatter.

I really don't want to see people collapsing on the streets of America. I hope our government can pull its shit together better than China and fucking Iran.

It's weird that we dont get the same type of reporting out of Italy or South Korea. Iranians in general must be in terrible health

That's horrifying in oh so many ways. That first video is of a Morgue... in a Muslim Country. Aren't the dead supposed to be buried within a day? If they are that backed up in Qom... woof! At least they almost had enough body bags, and are only just starting to resort to Hefty at the end...

The talk of turning Stadiums into Hospitals is equally horrifying. How to create a mass center of death and disease 101.

Is it too much to hope that a portion of those body bags contain the Ayatolla's on the Guardian Council?

Honestly the only passing out I've seen on videos are bums in places like San Francisco who OD'd on drugs. That's in the last few weeks. I usually think it's related to something like that. It may not be illnesses.

Those will probably be the same people we see passing out or dying in the streets. Some things are just easily predictable.

OK, so I lived long enough to see the twenty first century, and instead of hover cars I get a giant body shield. What a depressing timeline.

I'd really prefer that stuff like this not shit up the megathread.
