Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[WeDon'tNeedToWhisper]

Washington State just closed down their schools. Looks like they are preparing for a statewide quarantine.

No... they haven't

Where did you see this?

Conference call with the governor's office.

Google for an article Education Week, they should be breaking it.

EDIT: it's just one county.

Just go to work ... Sick. I used to work in a field where were officially told not to come in of we were ill. We did anyway because how else you gonna make rent? I can just see these office assholes showing up and infcting everyone from the cleaninglady to the 'sandwich artists' in the cafeteria to the CEO just because they've decided that they 'aren't that sick and it's just the flu, bro', and adding to the clusterfuck. Nah mate, you sick, stay TF home for a few.

Yeah particularly if you have a fever you shouldn't be going in and getting everyone sick if you have the ability to take off anyway, like even in normal times sans plague. But I don't think companies are very good at accommodating this and it seems like a quintessentially American thing to stigmatize time off lol. Or at least glorifying working absurd hours and trying to squeeze out every little bit of productivity even if it results in less productivity overall. I wish there was a better awareness that it's okay to take time off for your health.

We have a national unified church that unites all Protestant sects. We also have a church that purports to be Catholic but does not recognize papal supremacy fucking good These are the only official churches, but there are many unofficial house churches the government can't be arsed to give a shit about.

Jorge 'Francis' Bergoglio appears to have some hope that he'll regain control of the Patriotic Association Catholics, but that deal remains secret, and PRC does what it wants towards Christians. Underground Churchmen face orders from Rome to submit to the PRC, and are persecuted, but they resist. Perhaps he wants the PRC state to crush the hitherto successful Underground Church. One unusual angle is that the Patriotic Association priests often are likely to have a knowledge of the traditional Latin Mass as that was the Mass when the PRC was formed, and it ignored V2. They can actually more like priests with cassocks and biretta perhaps still more used than outside China.

Possibly two detected cases in Ireland, maybe 70 plus suspected, but likely just poor detection rates. I don't see much in the way of panic, which is right.

Bethlehem going into lockdown from midnight - apparently a joint decision between Israel and Palestine, despite them only having 20ish confirmed cases

They decide to lockdown a small village but not Jerusalem? Okay

Yes, that’s what I thought. It’s just one district and I think it’s the district where the nursing home is.

 

[lottalove]

This shit’s going to last into April, isn’t it?

SARS lessened in the months of June/July and was gone by August.
Nobody knows, of course.

They've emptied those 'hospitals' in China because everyone recovered.

Where is Chen Qishi? Last we knew he was stuck in a quaranine hospital, but they are supposedly empty now and everyone is going back to work and shitting rainbows.


Let's just spread it around. It may kill my co worker but at least they died doing something to bolster the stock market.

Thanks. Last time I dealt with a primary here was 2008 and I was fucking livid that Because there were so many of my coworkers going that I couldn't leave work to vote ( and would have to join aparty to do so) I'm relieved that they changed it

No news so far. He should have been released on 2nd of March. His friend tried to contact him, without success.
His family doesn't even know where he is.
no news of Chen Quishi
The CCP censors whatever they can find, seemingly, according to netizens. Youtube channels get deleted. The video linked above, with only text and voice and the development of some sort of "code" might slow down these efforts. No idea though, how the censoring is done there.

edit: The Arte-documentation in French (UT) touched on that subject. It felt very 1984-ish what they showed out of Beijing. If you loose your account, you seem to loose all accounts there (also for payments, transportation etc.). And for posting unwanted info your account can get terminated.

SOME Washington state districts closed schools:

School district closes over virus concerns; more cases in WA

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A school district north of Seattle with 22,000 students will close for up to two weeks because of coronavirus concerns and state officials issued an order to waive fees for virus testing.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A school district north of Seattle with 22,000 students will close for up to two weeks because of coronavirus concerns and state officials issued an order to waive fees for virus testing.

Authorities said Thursday there at least 70 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the state, up from 39 on Wednesday. Ten people have died. One case has been reported in rural Grant Count in central Washington. The rest are in the Seattle area.

Vice President Mike Pence plans to meet Thursday with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and other state officials about the response to the virus during a visit to the state.

Washington’s insurance commissioner has issued an order requiring health insurers in the state to not charge copays or deductibles for people who require testing for the coronavirus. Commissioner Mike Kreidler made the announcement at a Thursday news conference.

Authorities also say people who have to see an out of network provider would have that visit covered as if it was within their insurance plan. The order is effective until May 4.

All of the schools in the Northshore School District will be closed for up to two weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and protect vulnerable staff members, the district's superintendent said Wednesday evening in a letter to parents. They plan to teach students online.

Northshore School District superintendent Michelle Reid said all of the 26 schools in the district will be shuttered while officials monitor the situation and listen to the health department for more recommendations.

Reid said she made the decision after learning of more people in the region testing positive, including a parent volunteer at Woodmoore Elementary School who tested positive for COVID-19.

“We are receiving numerous calls and emails from parents and staff who are self-quarantining or are choosing to keep their students home. Today, our absentee rate for students districtwide was 20 percent," Reid said.

Inslee said Thursday that he is deferring the decision to close schools across the state of Washington to school administrators, but that could change at any time.

“For those who have wondered why I have not made that decision today it is because we are still evaluating the efficacy of that,” he said. “We’re also weighing this against the needs for childcare. It is profoundly a challenge for families already.”

Inslee encouraged schools to explore the possibility of online teaching methods while they weigh the risks of sending children to their schools.

Seattle area schools were mulling teaching students online in the event of prolonged closures over health concerns. The schools took the steps after researchers said the virus that causes the disease called COVID-19 may have been circulating for weeks undetected in the state.

Some students and parents started petitions asking districts to close their campuses.

Ken Finlayson said his 14-year-old son started a petition asking the Lake Washington School District to close their schools, which are located in Kirkland and near the nursing home that’s been the epicenter of the outbreak. By early Thursday, more than 18,500 people had signed the petition.

State and regional health officials have not recommended closing schools. They say children are unlikely to get very sick if they get COVID-19.

But Finlayson said the children may bring the virus home to people who are vulnerable, including infants, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.

“My wife is severely disabled – she’s a non-verbal quadriplegic,” he said. “He may bring the virus home to his mother, who may die.”

Finlayson said if school officials want to ensure all students have equal access to learning, they could open a few labs or classrooms for those students, while holding online classes.

More than 20 schools in the Puget Sound area have closed for at least a day for cleaning prompted by coronavirus concerns, according to the Washington superintendent of public instruction.

Seattle Public Schools has so far said the district would not close, but it was monitoring the situation.

Inslee also said the state would make sure health care workers and first responders exposed to COVID-19 had workers’ compensation protections. The state was changing police for those workers who have to be quarantined so they receive benefits during the quarantine after exposure to the virus.

“These health care workers and first responders are protecting our communities,” Inslee said.

Says the figurehead for China, who could have shut this shit down months ago instead of pushing their goddamned propaganda.

Pulling out all the stops means nuking cities. I know how to deal with fallout, virus are scary.

Hahah wow. So the godless PRC is more legitimately Catholic than the controlled Western Rite church? Amazing.

 

[Bob's Fuckass Head]

Dr. Campbell has uploaded a video on the topic of viral mutation.

As much as I hate to disagree with British Medicine Uncle, I find myself questioning the chronology here. Everything is sourced from China, which we all know by now means that it's all suspect.

They say that the S type is older, less infectious and less deadly. That means the L type is a newer mutation. Fine, but I don't see how you can take that piece of info and then leap to "China saw more of the nasty L type in their testing and glorious Chinese quarantine is perfect, which means they prevented L type from leaving Wuhan." I think the good Doctor is letting a nice-sounding story take over the facts.

The main question we have to ask in this global pandemic crisis is one that has not been answered in hundreds of pages of this thread. A vital, important, necessary query that will set the mood on the global mindset of this outbreak:

Has Madagascar Shut Everything Down Yet?​

Somebody congratulate us (or pray for us) because apparently Germany broke the 500 mark. 548 confirmed cases, but still no deaths. Every news article gives you a different number of confirmed cases though. Weird.

Über 500 bestätigte Coronavirus-Infektionen in Deutschland

Die Zahl der offiziell bestätigten Coronavirus-Infektionen in Deutschland schnellt weiter scheinbar ungebremst in die Höhe. Bis Donnerstagabend wurden mindestens 548 Fälle bestätigt, so eine Abfrage...

presse-augsburg.de

This shit is slowly making me nervous. Not the virus, but the people. Lots of weird behavior. Doctor's waiting rooms are full. Everybody thinks they have Corona. And pharmacies were so full this afternoon, I've never seen it like that. People just kept coming and going.

I decided to go tomorrow morning instead.

I'd kill for a timelapse video of this information just to watch the spread from the coast toward the insides of the various countries.

In America the only thing you can do now is head to the hills and camp out for the next month in some remote BFE place because it will head to the heartland sooner rather than later.

I can only imagine some city folk taking this advice, heading to podunk Nebraska only to be shot and their bodies burnt by the locals as a Quarantine "Measure"

I swear this was a John Carpenter movie.

I'll miss the French Open and the Olympics, not the same with no spectators. But fuck, at least the tennis players can't whine about noise from the crowds. Although some of the female games the way they moan between shots will sound like a dub edit from a porn film.

 

[Not Really Here]

Just go to work

Again. Literally no one advocated for that.
