Holy shit are they going to suspend payroll taxes? Trump is shook.

Of course Trump is shook, he's an economics man, the Coronavirus panic is now threatening the major markets. The possiblity of a worldwide recession is on the cards. And the modern market is designed around endless growth, so as soon as the possibility where people might have to sit on their investments for a few years til they start paying off, the major investors instead panic sell which just crashes everything harder. So all he can do is soften the blow as much as possible, since people are panicky idiots buying tons of toilet paper and hoarding gold bars.
 
Considering the virus is now in Coachella (3 cases) they really should consider cancelling the Coachella concert in April. That concert is always popular, crowded and it's an all day event for a couple of days. Any band or musician that's in the lineup should pull out. It also attracts a lot of celebrities.
There's no point in going to that concert as it's overrated and filled with hipsters.
Hard disagree. The show must coof on.
 
All right, some Crazy Uncle Johnny advice for all you homeowners out there and people who can afford to hire someone to do it:

Get your plumping checked, snaked out and cleaned it possible.

I just rebuilt the plumping today just in case. Found a badly built-up U-bend.

Johnny's Joke for the Day: Don't buy anything with Velcro because it's a rip-off.
 
So what's the verdict on this for the time being? Still thinking it's like a very bad flu year, other than people dying to Cornoa-chan from outside factors like pollution and pre-existing illnesses.
Honestly? After viewing this bombshell which confirms 1/3 of my fears, the other 2/3 consisting of blacks and Turks being immune to the disease and the reinfection thing being dengue reloaded on steroids, well actually my neighbors cats have been coughing a lot lately so that makes it like what? 1/4 of my fears i guess. So basically if divine intervention doesn't come into play, yeah looks pretty bleak no denial. So bleak that I'm considering getting my hands on some Lavender essential oil or at least some traditional Chinese medicine.

So Coachella is trending on Twitter right now (in the US). A known good source is reporting that GoldenWest (the group who puts on the event) is thinking about Postponing the festival to October. If true, it'll be the first time since the inaugural edition of the festival in 1999 that the show was performed in October. /r/Coachella has a megathread if you want to keep up to date there.

I take a class at a community college, and the college is going to now shut down for two weeks after this week because of COVID-19. After that they plan to do modified/online classes for the rest of the semester.

My professor must be highly annoyed. We're already two or three weeks behind because of mandatorily scheduled days off and a family emergency, and the midterm has already been postponed to the week we're now not going to attend class. Maybe he will cancel the midterm, I dunno.

If they want to waste money and stand all day in the heat with no shade to cover them, that's on them.
😀😆

And I just saw the update above. It looks like they won't have to stand in the heat all day after all. It's a blessing in disguise.
 
literally just a flu bro
germophobe in chief could have kicked gas mask fag off his plane like a dozen harrison fords if he really thought it was a thing

It is not just a flu. I spoke to a very reputable source (Downtown Los Angeles Pediatrician) who told me that this virus does indeed discriminate. My post is on an earlier page, (664) includes more details.

Basically it is an opportunistic infection that most of us can fight off, if we are currently free from disease, and have a history of being healthy.

This is not the case with the flu virus. The flu can get you really sick, but it behaves differenty in doing so.

If you have a pre-X like a heart condition, lung issues, poor kidney function, weakened immune system, etc., this virus can indeed kill you. It likes to "stick" to weak parts of you and overwhelm the immune system of the vulnerable.


Another thing, is that there are dozens of corona viruses circulating. This particular one is very contagious and lethal to some people. Also, if anybody has watched Dr. G Medical Examiner, or casually read autopsy reports, that Y incision they make post-mortem .... can reveal a lot that the descedant was completely unaware of.

Of note are liver problems, heart defects, inflamed organs, abscesses, dirty lungs, heart disease, cancer, venerial disease ... just saying that a lot of people end up on the Medical Examiners table dead, due to the mix of a catastrophic event (ie. ordinarily survivable cocaine exposure) and a heart condition that they weren't aware of.

People under the age of 30 are very resilient, meaning their organism can usually compensate for its "silent" defects. (That become more apparent with age.) All I am saying is that nobody is completely "safe" unless they are absolutely certain about their perfect health. As in, have solid evidence, beyond going to the gym every day.

So please ... unless you know somebody's medical history inside and out, it is about as reckless to say "just a few drinks" as it is to say "just a flu."

I agree but I think you miss my point somewhat. I'm looking at this from the context of the personalities among the leadership class and the portrayals of the leadership class by the media, rivals, and the public at large. My reason for doing this is that it simply renders any political games meaningless. It gives no air for anything other than discussion of the event happening and plans to mitigate and/or resolve the event.

This is the level of discipline required now from our governments. The fancy meetings with world-class meals, entertainment and all that other horse shit are over because the real world just came a-knocking for the highest echelon of our greater society. Suddenly they're on a isolated rock in the middle of the Milky Way with the rest of us. And they better start getting to work on solving this problem, since they decided they wanted to amass control over and carve up aforementioned isolated rock. And there are a whole lot more of us then there are of them and we know how to push all the buttons and turn all the knobs.

There's a funny thing about being sick. Being sick changes your motivations. Being in charge when other people are getting sick changes your motivations.

Your military is getting sicker by the day. They're going to start wanting answers soon, not to mention that the public has been tapping their fingers on the desk for a few minutes longer than StandardOperatingProcedure recommends. And look, everyone is worried. The President of the United States looked pretty worried today and so did the Vice President of the United States. And so did all of their advisers. And so do all of the world leaders. We all want this to be resolved in some decent fashion.

But this is the situation facing our great leaders now. Not every generation of the world leader class gets to experience the opportunity or perhaps the curse of having no choice but to lead. To really lead. And I am sure at least of few of the venerated class thought it was going to be a war, if anything. And we are all watching and waiting and doing our best like we do. We're hoping they can figure it out. Now is the time that they must live up to their own myth. The leadership class wanted to be able to say that they were in charge so now is their chance for real this time no backsies. And now is the time for those that craft our media-perceptive world to get their act together and start recording what is happening, fact-checking for dangerous misinformation, and really earning those degrees. The rest of us just need to keep doing our level-best; and be sure keep your head down and stay out of the way.

Who would have thought a cough and a sneeze could stop time. That only ever happened in the past. In the land of fairy tales and legend.

To this end and on a personal note as I proof read this post, by thinking through this thought tonight I have come to realize a feeling of profound gratitude for being able to be alive at this point in time to see a legend being written. I do not know how it will pan out. But how blessed (is that the right word?) or touched by fate are we to have life right here and now? So many generations have lived and died only ever reading history. And some of us are old enough to have seen a few, so spectacularly-active is our period of history. This is surely a time to be alive.

Stay strong so you can see what happens, be it for good or for ill. A life is a life and yours is to live.

Unless he's a paediatric infectious diseases specialist, his information is no more reputable than that of any other doctor commenting outside their speciality.
 
Holy shit are they going to suspend payroll taxes? Trump is shook. The people around him are all shook. Everyone is nodding along trying to reassure themselves. And outside of that room I haven't seen Xi Jinping in a month? Putin looks like he's aged a year. Kim Jong Un has started firing missiles again to distract. The Ayatollah's friends are dropping dead around him.

The "strong men" of the world may be disregarded or discredited, sometimes with good reason. But the personality type that rises to that level of power in such circumstances does not lightly show signs of worry or concern. And behaving conciliatory should be enough to give anyone pause.

The partisan crap ended with that speech today. I don't doubt that Trump will falter and sling mud, that is his hamartia. But any other politician that manipulates this situation for their own agenda is fucking dead to me after today.

Well put...totally agree. Grandstanding for ass-pats going forward will not be a good look.
Seems things are ratcheting up. Their message felt strong to me and they seem to have a plan. I'm impressed with the steps they appear to be taking.

Well he does have to keep up with this stuff because when this virus hits a high-population density area like LA County, doctors who are generalists need to be prepared. So he is gathering information to answer family's questions and concerns.

Where do you find a pediatric infectious disease specialist, anyway?

Personally I have been trying to make sense of the epidemiology, in order to plan for the event.

People here are posting a lot of interesting stuff, speculating about economic effects, political decisions, anecdotal material from all over the world. Interesting, to say the least.

Don't forget my Joey Diaz quotes:

"I got on an elevator at the airport, there was 3 of us. The lady looked half retarded with a surgical mask on. As a joke I asked her if she just got back from China and she said yes.....I told her to get the fuck out.... "

Fully expecting both Washington and NYC to enter quarantine by next Wednesday. Denver's handling it like shit, now 12 documented cases, the ski resorts are still operating, no checks at the airport, their mayor deliberately said its no big deal and the governor is a cuck letting the medical industry fuck people out of $4,500 for testing if they don't got the virus.
 
I work in a supplements store in Washington and oh boy. We're concerned about if we can keep up with demand. Our immune set is pretty cleared out. Sold tons of elderberry syrup, zinc lozenges and colloidal silver. A lot of Chinese people calling and coming in asking masks and gloves. All hand sanitizer is sold out everywhere, Winco Foods was out of rice and workers stocking it were bitching about how ridiculous this is. No issues with toilet paper so far.

As a lot of people are saying, wash your hands, don't touch your face. Taking supplements can be beneficial, a really comprehensive one that people vouch for, is Source Natural's Wellness Formula. Not shilling, honest. Has a ton of immune supporting herbs in there. We have a lot of teachers and nurses who take it, it's decent stuff. Smells nasty though. Specifically for my immune system I take Lysine, vitamin C, D and zinc. If I feel funky, then some Wellness Formula. Hopefully you all keep well.
