Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[EmuWarsVeteran]

Could you make a UV iron for surface disinfection that only targets the surface and doesnt bathe the room in light?

Uhh TP can double as tissue, the reverse is not necessarily true. Also I don't know this for certain but I am willing to bet TP is cheaper compared to the same amount of tissues.

Technically you CAN focus radiation, it's used in experiments but... I wouldn't trust it for safety purposes.

Just heard early reports of a few people jumping from windows when we crossed the 2000 point threshold.

Gentlemen, this could actually be it.

Footage footage footage footage footage.

Is it bad of me to hope this kills off a shitload of bankers, politicians, and journalists? Probably the three most useless groups of people in existence besides Neets.

The US's response is shit so far. Where I live has several cases all surrounding me, with an expected triple or more by this weekend. Anyone wanna start placing bets who in the US quarantines first and for how long?

I mean, who could?

Actually responding to this problem would infringe upon interstate commerce. You have people in this very thread bleating about how the Chinky cops put bars over the doors of recalcitrant likely carriers after they are caught roaming outside without a mask to protect those who haven't been infected. Clearly, carriers of the Chinkypox should just be allowed to wander around uncontrolled. Maybe they could face civil actions years afterwards.

Italy's extending its measures to whole country now:

All of Italy placed under coronavirus lockdown

The entire population - some 60 million people - are told to stay at home amid the outbreak.

www.bbc.co.uk

Italy is extending its strict coronavirus quarantine measures, which include a ban on public gatherings, to the entire country.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said the measures, which come into effect on Tuesday, were necessary to defend the most fragile members of the community.

He added that the best thing for the citizens of Italy was to stay at home.

Italy's coronavirus death toll jumped on Monday by 97 to 463. It is the worst-hit country after China.

Here is the context: I am pregnant, due in May

Well congratulations!
here’s the RCOG (royal college of gynaecologists) guidelines on corona and pregnancy. Just now published.

https://www.rcog.org.uk/globalassets/documents/guidelines/coronavirus-covid-19-virus-infection-in-pregnancy-2020-03-09.pdf

bottom line is that there’s no data at the moment suggesting that it’s particularly worse for pregnant women. This is good because flu can be nasty when you’re pregnant.
look after yourself, but if you’ve no underlying conditions, you should be as OK as anyone your age. Newborns are often quite resistant to stuff due to antibodies in m I lk , although it does depend on what exactly.
Your main worry will probably be shortages of staff for birth, but if it’s your third, and your first two were uneventful, your chances of issues are much lower.

No one jumped out of windows, they're just being a rețarded doomer.

The thing that should worry you is if no one is infected near you in a densely populated area, no infected and no deaths nearby just means no testing kits and a bunch of old people in blacks bags labeled simply with “Pneumonia”.

He's not wrong from a public health perspective but staying home indefinitely isn't a viable option for many people.

So in "I hate everyone" news.

Today's headline in my local paper

"2 More PRESUMPTIVE cases of Carona found in -state-"

So Doctors in my State can use a test kit, get a result and end up just fucking guessing that it is The Carona Virus anyways.

They're not guessing. It just can't be added to the official statistics until it's been confirmed by bureaucracy.

That said, there are bound to be both false positives and false negatives at this early stage.

I wonder how rush hour traffic will be a year or two from now. Could be a smooth commute, even if we have to buy each roll of ass scraper for $18 from the local warlord.

First world babies without health complications, fed well and nutritiously, are freakishly resilient. Their bones are all wiggly and they're supercharged with immunity-inducing titmilk. As long as momma's taking care of herself they're fine.

Only CDC confirmed cases are official. Those tests are being kept to a minimum to protect the markets.

Yeah people buying like 20 packs of shit tickets are stupid its clearly overkill the virus doesn't cause diarrhea so normal amounts of toilet paper would suffice but I still think its smart to have double the regular supply of it or at least enough to tide you over until you absolutely need to shop again if you have 2 months worth of food to live on then it makes sense to have 2 months worth of toilet paper imo. Also its a good idea to get it while you can because of the crazy panic shoppers that are buying skids of them. Hopefully stores will start putting limits on things to control the amount of people buying all the important things out giving everyone a chance to get what they need. If everyone bought even just double what they need most things wouldn't be sold out but greedy people buying the store ruin it.

Then it shouldn't be on the front page of a News Paper. Fucking Fearmongering horseshit.

Well, no, those people have coronavirus. It's just that those who tested them would be targeted for prosecution by the CDC if they said that they were proven to have coronavirus without verification by the CDC.

Are you seriously trying to make people panic?
