Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Not to get all preptard on anyone, but I think it might be prudent to obtain a personal stock of antibiotics, to deal with any secondary bacterial infections you or a loved one might get. If this thing spreads to a sizeable amount of the population, I can't imagine that the health care system will be able to cope. Italy can't, and it's not even reached the peak there yet.

I got a pack of 100 doxycycline last week by telling my doctor I was going travelling in a malarial region. Might save my or a loved ones life if the SHTF.
Ready for secondary bacterial infection riding in for the kill after the body has just been raped by Corona-chan. Going to make it.

Please don't. Last thing we need when this is through is a plague of antibiotic resistant staph aureus or something.
Not going to make it. R.I.P.
Dosing yourself with anything stronger than OTC painkillers is generally a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing. Some people had the bright idea to buy chloroquine when the clinical trials for that started looking good, that shit can blind you if you fuck up the dose.

Remember those 30 or so people in Iran who died of alcohol poisoning trying to cure themselves? Don't be like them. Don't take medicine if you don't know what it does. You can overdose, it can interact with other meds you're on, and with antibiotics it can lead to resistance that'll fuck everyone over even harder than the current plague.
Not going to make it. R.I.P.
 
Brazilian official who met Trump and Pence at Mar-a-Lago tests positive for coronavirus


A Brazilian official who met President Trump and Vice President Pence at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday has tested positive for coronavirus, though Trump said he “isn’t concerned” about the development.

Trump ain't worried bro..
if any old guy has a chance to survive this it's Trump. he literally has the best medical service in the world, if he dies the entire world will panic and break down.
 
We need some world leaders to die. At this point I am in Chaos side. I am impressed by the personification of the little girl. She has done more than the democrats have done to the republicans in like 20 years in 3 months. In that press conference Trump sounded ill as fuck but tin foil aside our town is infected but I love our leaders response. People are going to die :)
 
Boris was live for a BBC breaking news special for a Corona briefing. Says it is the "worst public health crisis in this generation". 596 cases right now but the estimate is 10k.

The govt response as shown

- UK to move into 'delay phase' to tackle virus (suppress the peak so health service can cope with it) slowing down the spread

- Older people with poor health to stay at home

- All school trips abroad to be banned

- Only people in hospital will be tested

- Self-isolate if fever or persistent cough

Chief scientific advisor estimates around 5-10k people have the virus in the UK now.

 
Ever wonder why Italy is on full lockdown with CoronaChan spreading like wildfire?

 
It tapped into the line that fills the cistern (whatever the upper deck is called) so you're getting nice clean water. Get the fancy models that warms the water for you if so desired.
Even the cheapest standalones here have both hot and cold taps... That's a given. Like a sink shaped for an arse. Just can't imagine using one that is directly on the toilet seat... Toilets are just for da poo poo and da wiwi.

Mine has a shied in front of it to prevent it from being shat on. Just do your business and turn a knob and it peeks out to spray you down.
 
So if Brazilian govt has the virus. They met with Trump which means he could have it and so could pence. So who runs the govt? Pro tempor or house speaker? Will Donald really let pelosi run the joint? Will we have to consider postponing our election if this gets bad enough? Burgerland might be having it's karmic come to Jebus moment lads. Wew what a time to be alive

"Delay phase" means that they no longer have any sort of containment, and can no longer do any meaningful tracking of the virus, as far as I can tell from the stream and the prior publication.

They will now only test people at hospitals, I assume to inform treatment.
 
Yay, our health minister tested positive for Wu Flu!

Dorries is so generally bolshie the virus is probably already scared of her.
This minister must have spent hours conferring with other members of the cabinet lately. The infected Polish general is known to have been attending a meeting with other top NATO military commanders. And there were some EU officials tested positive, weren't there? I just wonder if they will start dropping dead like Iranian big shots.
I am slowly giving up hope of being able to catch up with this thread [I've managed once in last 7 weeks, lol], so this will be late as hell, but... Nadine Dorries is known drama/attention whore and I will be surprised if she's actually got it at this point in time. You can find a lot of entertaining info here- i. e. that time when she claimed to be on a suicide watch during the expenses scandal, taking a mick out of plebs in the Block Tower of Commons (TV "reality show" ) or her antics during and after I'm a celebrity (another reality show). Yes, Nadine, people actually remember how much m e l k you can give to appear in the media.
As for Poland having low infection rate so far- don't be so optimistic, Farmers. Health care system is chronically underfunded and overburdened to the point, where patients need to wait for close to 2 years for mammography and some fuckers got informed that their physiotherapy is scheduled in 37 years. I wish it was a system glitch... You can see average waiting time to see a specialist here - numbers on a chart are in months, not days. Google translate the shit put of it.
Poland simply doesn't have capacity to event test, not to mention to treat its own people. It will be gruesome once the shit hits the fan there. Government od always trying to keep face as well, so don't rely on official numbers. Anyone who can afford it goes private healthcarewise, because state healthcare is rubbish and 99% of society can see nice clinics/hospitals only in TV soaps . Reality is very much different, alas.
Also-paper money is still very much a thing, especially outside big cities.

Look at mr fancy pants here with his palacial bathroom with enough room for his royal highness and his entire retinue and all the luxuries they need!

Honestly though bidets are pretty rare here in the US (assuming you are a non American), so bathrooms are never designed with them installed or room to install them. Rather pay the 20/30 bucks for one that I can install on the toilet in 30 mins then tearing up the bathroom to install the necessary fixtures and plumbing.

Would like to get a nice fancier one when I install the new bathroom at the house.
 
Bidets sound fun, but Hungarians are amazing at shitting all over the crapper, somehow spraying it under the toilet seat.

I think it is the fat and alcohol heavy diet, coupled with covfefe and cigarettes.

Best you can get here is a toilet separate from the bathtub room.

But at least our crappers are shelf toilets, so no splashing.
Frankly it is one of the things that make me afraid to travel even without corona. I still remember my first encounter with a non germanic toilet and the water hitting my arse like it was cosplaying a wartime naval movie torpedo hit. Yep, the water that pozloaded my negholep of a hundred people, splashing on your rear and nether regions. And that is without prolapse illness.

It would go VP, Speaker of the house, Pro Temp, then it would go down through the cabinet except for Elaine Chao because she's not a natural born citizen. I don't think the constitution allows the election to be postponed and I can't remember it ever being done before.
