so there are now more than 200 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk.

208 cases in just 24 hours.
 
My Dad has to call India frequently for his job. He said that they told him that they think we're all overreacting in burgerland. Apparently, they deal with this shit all the time due to the country's awful sanitation.

To be fair India has accepted a LOT of dead people from routine plagues. Like... Holy shit that's a lotta unnecessary deaths.

When I get home, after a well-deserved nap, I intend to create a graph of the number of infected and dead from Italy, and construct a best-fit line from the data points. I want to be able to visualize and afterwards, extrapolate, what the hell is going on over there. I was waiting for the virus to hit a country that wouldn't lie (as much) about the number of dead.

Use spain or south korea, right now it's the most accurate numbers you'll get. I mean we still got bias from lack of testing for asymptomatic and lights but we got a lot less bias than anyone else.

I’m surprised there are 250 people who want to be seen at an anime convention.
Honestly I find it insanely funny because cons like those are already a fucking breeding ground between people not showering and refusing to use deodorant. The fact that people washing their hands is being called into question is like water off a ducks back for them.
 
lets be honest, african countries have been infected since the beginning, especially with how much travel and import there is from china. the only reason they are only now getting positive tests is because they are such shitty nations that they didn't even realize a new plague was there they just thought it was a normal tuesday.
Probably lack of old people to die off too
 
Trump is giving a 3pm EST press conference. Should be interesting.

With various states activating the National Guard, here's a reminder of where the US quarantine hospitals are set up.


These were originally planned for travelers coming into the US needing quarantine. With the travel ban in place, word is they are being converted to ICUs even though they only hold 250 people each.

I've driven by one, the facilities can be observed from the road. Saw activity, could not tell you what's going on but did notice tents and temporary structures set up nearby. There's room - a lot of it - for more structures to go up.

Hoping we learn more during today's conference about how the Feds are coordinating with National Guard in various states. Have the feeling they're about to announce limits on interstate travel, which would be the first step before going house to house. Going to be listening for what he doesn't say.

I fear we're nearing the point where it's time to get away from the cities. While my personal health risk is low, that changes if there's a high infection rate or supplies become scarce. The vile, despicable acts of mobs concern me more than the government, being locked in somewhere with people going feral would probably push me over the edge.

I have said this before, but unless you have someone you're going to stay with, don't leave the city. County folk are not going to be welcoming to random strangers who may be carrying the Chinkypox or might murder them in their sleep. Most will tell you to fuck off, and some will shoot you if you don't comply. I don't say that to be mean, just stating the truth.
 
I know this is a joke, but it's one of the largest anime conventions in the world. It gets about 25,000 attendees each year. And, well, hygiene is about as you'd expect. Probably best for it to be cancelled.

I'm hoping for more cancelations. Don't need Furries bringing Corona con crud home and speeding it. Thinking that their partial is a substitute for a P200.
 
Anecdotal news from China.

My in-laws say things are fine in the village where they live. They're unaware of any cases and now hold an eerie amount of praise with how efficiently the government has responded to the crisis. We were even told we should definitely just come to China for the next month or two to ride out the virus. We're hearing similar things from other friends in Hangzhou as well.

This is in stark contrast to a month ago where WeChat and Weibo were frothing at the mouth ready to storm the Forbidden Palace over the death of Dr. Li Wenliang. Now there's no hide nor hair of a mention of it and everyone appears to be going on with their lives like normal. The turn in cases correlated almost exactly with his death and the first inklings that the Chinese economy was hurting. Now state-run papers are blasting our articles about how China has the virus on the run, how the Chinese people are coming together under socialism, how China is aiding the world in combating the illness (it fucking released), and how you had best get the fuck back to work.

It is very possible that China squashed major outbreaks with draconian measures. I find it much more likely however that there is an underground outbreak happening in China that the CCP is keeping off social media and doing its damndest to keep contained in hospitals and cities. There is an attitude of "it's fine" that is going on in China right now that is unnerving.
 

so there are now more than 200 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the uk.

208 cases in just 24 hours.
Italy reports 250 new deaths and 2,547 new cases, raising total to 1,266 dead and 17,660 cases.

It's an exponential curve, it's normal for cases to go up more and more.

Why do liberals turn into hardline, ethnonationalists whenever it comes to casino workers?

Because they ARE. They're just anti-white ethnonationalists.

They lost their wars over 200 years ago. This is all they have left.

I fear we're nearing the point where it's time to get away from the cities. While my personal health risk is low, that changes if there's a high infection rate or supplies become scarce.

Fuck off we're full.
