Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Govt. Shitposting Machine]

There's a scam going around involving malware-laden coronavirus maps. They mostly target Windows systems. The maps themselves aren't too bad information-wise. In fact, they look pretty convincing.

Shit, now we need masks for the computers too

The liquor store is still well stocked, that’s all I know.
I picked up a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 and a bottle of Pinnacle Vodka, so I’m set for part of the weekend at least.
I may have to rent a van or something to stock up for the upcoming quarantine, because I swear to God if I run out of booze, I’m either leaving the house, or I’ll be watching videos on how to build a home made still.

where are you people? I just got back from my local grocery store in the Seattle hot zone - aside from the TP/paper towel aisle, the hardcore disinfectants, and (weirdly) kombucha, things were pretty well stocked. Being already pretty well prepped, I bought fruit, eggs, and tulips.

A northeast city not named New York.

I think China will be able to wiggle their way out of responsibility for this one. They know how to exercise soft power, as demonstrated in their gifting of token aid and relief to Italy. They know it's worth the PR benefit to send a couple thousand ventilators, hundreds of thousands of masks, and a few tens of medical experts to Italy at a time when those valuable resources should be saving the lives of dying Chinese citizens.

Just you wait a few weeks. They will be sending token aid shipments to every First World nation stricken by this disease, and it will fool the people into thinking that China is their benefactor, in contrast to their inept and powerless local government.

Problem is, that'll only work in the short term. Once this shit starts to die down in the spring, I fully expect everyone outside of China to point the finger at them and demand explanations considering they fucked over Italy badly and sent everyone else in a massive panic.

Get some Turbo yeast and make some Kilju.

We don't need vents from China.

CDC has a gigantic stockpile of them but uh...nobody knows how to get them.

It was mentioned hundreds of pages ago, but with so many people cooped up indoors for who knows how long, there's going to be an explosion of babies months down the line. In other words, the Boomer Remover is going to inadvertently create an entire new generation of Baby Boomers.

There might be an uptick in sex, but unless the supply of birth control runs out that doesn't mean there will be an increase in babies. In fact, with the economy going into the toilet, we might see an increase in contraception use.

"House overwhelmingly approves Trump-backed deal on economic relief for coronavirus

WASHINGTON – The House overwhelmingly passed legislation to provide economic relief to Americans affected by coronavirus after President Donald Trump said Friday he would support the sweeping measure.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act was adopted 363-40 with all but one Democrat and a handful of Republicans voting in favor of the measure. The vote was conducted shortly after midnight Friday following two days of around-the-clock negotiations between Democratic leaders and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

The bill now heads to the Senate for an expected vote Monday....."

Okay, so minor PL, but here’s my update on a Fry’s grocery store in Arizona:

• There was a limit on how much canned goods you could get (3 per customer)
• There were no eggs
• Still some milk left
• Lots of mixed nuts left
• Quite a bit of the fresh produce was still available
• The bread aisle was emptied quite a bit
• Some of the frozen section was overlooked by preppers. Here’s what I saw:
  • Taquitos
  • Bao
  • Veggie spirals
  • One bag of frozen peas
  • One bag of frozen asparagus
    • Most of the frozen veggies were gone besides what’s mentioned in the list
  • Fish sticks
  • Frozen chicken
  • Frozen brussel sprouts
  • Lots of ice cream left
  • Frozen pasta
  • Corn dogs
  • Frozen burger patties
  • Frozen crepes
  • Mochi
  • Frozen pies
• Lots of vitamins and supplements left
• Some of the first aid aisle was emptied
  • Most of the cold medicine was gone
  • Lots of fish oil pills around
  • Lots of Vitamin C supplements still there
• No toilet paper (seriously, are people thinking they’re going to be pooping constantly?)
• Most paper products were gone
• Still some fresh meat (I bought some to keep in the freezer)

Conclusion: We might have to wait for restocks for certain items. I’m hoping on more eggs sometime soon, as well as more dairy. I’m planning on going again to see if there are any potatoes, onions, and carrots left. Overall, not too bad, but bummed that some things were sold out (it’s expected, but annoying).

So that does that relief entail? What all did that HR include?

I think Peoples brains break when society stops working normally. Many people on twitter are angry about missing out on toilet paper and are actually posting that they are using t-shirts to wipe their asses with. Like wtf do what people did before TP was common and wash yo ass Tariq Nasheed style.

While the normies are running around like a chicken with its head cut off, the NEET's who stay at home regardless are galaxy braining the situation and using their VPN to get free porn passes routing it as if they were based in Italy. LMAO.

The only ones that fucked over Italy and by extension the rest of Europe was Italy itself. The virus wasn't taken seriously by Italian authorities until hospitals started becoming full of people. The only countries that have taken the virus seriously from the beginning are China and Japan. In Japan, there have been reports of infected people since early January. They took the necessary measures and precautions, coupled with their citizens exercising basic civism. The result is they're as of now one of the least affected countries, their economy isn't completely paralyzed and Japanese people can lead practically normal lives, while European countries have no choice but to enter lockdowns one after another despite only having had the virus for less than a month.
The fault here is 100% on European governments and their citizens.

Remember how a church started South Korea's outbreak? Ohio has an exception for religious services in their mass gatherings ban.

What could pawsibly go wrong?!

Catholics stop requiring Mass, other houses of worship cancel services due to coronavirus, despite state exception

Some houses of worship are canceling all in-person services and asking people to live stream from home, others are staying open with caveats.

Archiving better article with less add crap. https://archive.li/wip/dMblF

- Free testing
- Up to 2 week of emergency paid sick leave and 3 months of paid family and medical leave. There are however concessions for small businesses with less than 50 employees where they would not be required to provide more than 14 days paid sick leave if it threatens to close the business. The Federal gov will cover the costs of those qualifying for the exemption.
- Food assistance and Medicare funding
- Looks like Trump did not get his Tax relief.

"The Families First Coronavirus Response Act provides free testing including for those who are uninsured as well as two weeks of emergency paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave "that is not less than two-thirds of an employee's regular rate of pay." The bill also expands food assistance programs like SNAP and increases funding for Medicaid. "

Edit: Additions.

That would be a big slap in the face to the elites who are praising the virus for "population control."

Went to several stores today helping landlord buy equipment. All toilet paper and hand sanitizer is gone, and being sold by tards on Craigslist.

Food stockpiles essentially untouched. Other than the stuff being snatched up by tards to scalp, there was no problems. stockpiles barely impacted in my area.

Locals in very high spirits. Local bars having Corona beer specials.

Not like it's stopped them before. I mean you look at all the news reports on the topic and it comes off as like half the world's going to die because of it.

I heard on the radio that in China, divorce rates have suddenly spiked since their lockdown has been lifted, as being stuck in quarantine has led to many couples spending weeks together under stressful conditions that have necessarily resulted in all kinds of nasty arguments and disputes.
