Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[MrBlueSocks]

I'm cognizant of the necessity of shutting everything down to prevent this thing from getting worse in USA, and I'm glad it seems like a greater proportion of the population is starting to take it quite seriously, but I wonder if this initial wave of panic/prepping-mania will lead to a kind of psychological fatigue later on down the line. Presumably we are still far from the virus peaking in this country, but I imagine a lot of people are already burning through their reserves of fortitude/inner strength/whatever you want to call it.

I think this worry informed the UK government's response. They felt that we only had one 2 week quaratine in us without it falling apart, so they're saving it for later. Other Euro states are shutting down schools etc.

SARS 1.0 had lung scarring as a semi common long term side effect in survivors, and with the similarity between the two illnesses some suspect this one to act similarly.
Limited studies on survivors of the 2019 edition seem to support that theory

All Pneumonia causes some permanent lung scarring. It will show up on chest X-rays for the rest of your life. There will be some permanent damage. But with most Pneumonia’s when making a recovery this damage is hopefully negligible. Part of the issue with the Kung Flu is it is a Dry Pneumonia, which is more likely to cause permanent lung damage than something wet like Pulmonary Edema.

There's a "coronavirus challenge" where thots lick toilet seats. Mostly in planes.

I don't want to archive this.

I am all in favor of stupid people doing everything they possibly can to remove themselves from society and the gene pool. Go on lick those toilet seats. I double dog dare ya!

On that Steven Bannon Pandemic webcast/ podcast or whatever it is one of the guys they had on said the first CDC version tested for 3 things instead of just the Wu Flu and that caused problems. I'd guess it also drove up cost and use of resources. Should have just followed K.I.S.S. but government bureaucracy going complicate any time they can. That is IF what the guy said is true since I havnt seen anything anywhere else about it other than there was quality problems. Kinda tight lipped about just what the problem was so....

The initial CDC kit was a 3 part test for Corona-Chan, SARS and MERS. Testing for all three makes some sense, but obviously caused problems.

Anyones thoughts on the validity of this?

Complete undiluted essence of Bullshit. Qanon tier Bullshit. Bullshit so deep not even Alex Jones would wade in. “New never seen before in nature proteins” yeah, this is Andromeda Strain levels of Bullshit.

 

[Non-Expert!]

It’s the usual mix of lies, truth, half truth and misunderstanding. I wouldn’t set any store by it.

I would like to know what percentage of severe cases fatalities in the young are smokers, vape or have as yet unknown heart defects.

THANK YOU.

There are reasons for why every so often you hear about young athletes dropping dead after drinking a Red Bull or something like that.

Psychologically resilient people get stronger by dealing with crisis. I would also argue that some of the people who are psychologically fucked up to begin with are used to feeling anxiety/depression, and therefore know how to cope better than people who have never encountered long term negative emotions. There will of course people who succumb to hopelessness through substance abuse or suicide or w/e, but it isn't the only way people react to difficult circumstances.

Who is next? my bet is on the United States.

MAYOR DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY IN DES MOINES

Visit DSM.city/covid19 for the latest updates.
DES MOINES, IOWA — Sunday, March 15, 2020 – Mayor Frank Cownie today declared a state of emergency in the City of Des Moines in response to the community spread of the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) last night identified a community spread of coronavirus in the Des Moines metro and issued new recommendations for individuals with underlying conditions. IDPH added that all Iowans should be prepared for cancellations and disruptions to routine activities.

“I hereby determine that a state of emergency or public danger exists and direct that all gatherings of 250 people or more on public property or right-of-way are hereby prohibited,” Cownie stated. “Any permits or permissions previously granted are hereby rescinded and any amounts paid for such permits shall be refunded upon request.”

Through today’s proclamation, Mayor Cownie has directed the chief of the Des Moines Police Department “to enforce such direction to avoid any such gatherings, whether formally or informally organized.”

“Consistent with IDPH recommendations, I strongly suggest that private gatherings of 250 or more people on private property should be avoided and appropriate adjustment for smaller gatherings with high risk groups should be made,” Cownie added.

The City’s senior leadership response team this week will continue to monitor the community spread of the coronavirus and the potential impact on meetings, City services and public safety.

“This is a most challenging time for all of us, and I want to again thank our neighbors, businesses, residents and faith-based organizations for their patience and understanding as we work through this,” Cownie said.

This is actually a rather clear cut and valid Declaration of Emergency by a City Mayor. It clearly states the range and limitations of it’s power. Only directly impacts things within the clear power of the mayor and city government, and provides important recommendations. “We have an emergency. All City Permits for gatherings, Parades etc, are revoked. You will get a refund. No gatherings of 250+ on public property, and we ask that you please not do so on Private Property”.

Contrast that with the nutcase Mayor in Illinois that declared herself King/Tyrant, seizes all the Food and Resources under government control and started re-writing the Bill of Rights.

EDIT: big group of primary school aged girls just walked past. Some sort of school trip I guess. One had a surgical mask, but it was pulled down to her chin.

Jesus, this is a huge rage trigger for me. I have been at the doctor's office in the waiting room with these chin-mask morons. They're usually still hacking and sneezing everywhere too.

My boss asked me to fly into the office for a business trip recently. I had tickets to a concert I was going to on Saturday, so I got the company to buy me a ticket on Friday so I could stay over the weekend and see the band.

I get to the office on Friday, and am told that the office will be closing down on Wednesday as a shakedown test for potential quarantine and shutdown. OK. Then I get a call from the concert promoter telling me the band won't be showing up and that the concert is cancelled.

It's now Sunday and the CEO of the company says "you know, everyone should probably work from home if they can starting Monday"

Thanks, guys. I flew out here and now I'm going to be flying back for the privilege of sitting in the office over the weekend jerking off and playing DOS games on my laptop.

Hopefully someone doesn't coof on me on the flight back home, that would be the absolute cherry on this shit sundae.

Ooooh, poor baby.

Point of order, gentlemen (no ladies, since there are no girls on the internet as per rule 16, no exceptions)

Just because there is a real chance that you and all your loved ones will die, choking from the pus in their lungs, does not give you an excuse to shit all over the Kiwifarms culture and devolve into reddit- or facebook-tier savagery of virtue-signalling.
Keep calm and keep making fun of the antics of the general populace. Thank you.

We have to uphold the standard Null has maintained rigidly for a decade.

Here is some very smart women trying to shame people to go and eat out and receive take-out at Chinese restaurants. Lets be honest any take-out and restaurant is a potential hazard when you have additional people touching and preparing your food. It's always women who come up with this sorta shit then they get mad and wonder why people do not want female leaders, with the "lets bake cookies for the soldiers" mentality.

I unironically think these people should get infected or kill themselves. Maybe it's just half a decade of whining having programmed me to hate these tards.

These people will never stop bitching. They will be coughing up blood, crying their eyes out in a hospital bed, holding their body pillow tight while their mother went to the cafeteria for smokes three days before.

Employee at the grocery store King Scoopers (Colorado in this case) tested positive. The company won't release the location where it happened out of "respect for the employee's privacy" and keeping the store open.

I'm glad I'm done with all my shopping but i hope it wasn't one I was at.

It was the SARS portion of the test that had the contaminated reagent and threw positives no matter what you tested. The actual SARS-CoV-2 portion worked fine, so the kits could have been used. The CDC was like "lol no" though.

ABSOLUTELY. Couldn't have said it better.
Not gonna name any names, but people with a history of abusive shitcrap in their lives, from conception onward, have learned how to pace themselves. You also learn to pace yourself if you develop a chronic pain condition, or autoimmune condition, etc.

Those who haven't learned that skill, or are way above that threshold in their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, often end up ending their own lives. And during "good" times.

Regarding the potential of fatigue from the prolonged mental stresses of the crisis, I've still got a lot of room for more anxiety in case the pandemic really kicks into overdrive, but I think since I was following this thread from the early stages and doing some prepping here and there over the past few months, my anxiety and stresses were spread out over a longer period of time, which made it much more digestible. Even managed to help the Boomers among my close relations get adequately prepared in advance, so I'm not having to constantly worry about them so much.

At this stage, my primary concerns are regarding the economic consequences of the almost certainly impending shutdown. I have a few more things that need to go through before the end of the month in order for my financial situation to be secured in the event of a full government-enforced lockdown.

Thank you very much for that information.

Thats the other side of the cornfield they tend to lack what most would consider common sense and basic decency.
I think Its a smart sensible move to curb the WuFlu and to alleviate public panic.

 

[Adamska]

Might as well drop in and say due to the Bat Bug, I'm temporarily unemployed. I'm kinda annoyed, but hey, it means I won't bring the other illnesses back from work to my folks, so it does its job.

Who is this Shoa Khan? I wonder what Shao Khan is doing.

Shoa Khan is Shao Khan's Jewish cousin who runs the advertising campaign.

He got the name for the Shoah he enacted on Eternia and the Tartarkans.

The young deaths are probably due to AIDS or STDS, they run rampant and unchecked in China due to there being no big number of women, Rhino Horns isn't just for boner placebos there's a ton of shit like that which is told to cure HIV.

It's shocking how common it can be. When I worked in South America I remember one of the docs saying they estimate 40% of teens 13-18 had HIV in that city at the time, with something astronomical suspected because of the rampant sex with zero education. I could see the same happening there. Shit's foul.
