Stupid ass government just told healthcare workers (at least in some areas don't know in most only got intel from south) not to test people. They just straight up aren't testing anyone for nCoV19, even high risk, no reason given, private sources know it doesn't come from ISCIII so best guess is Sanchez wants to force data to improve through lack of testing. There is NO lack of tests this was a GUVERNMENTAL order. Most people don't know but as always it started leaking at record speed and even the 112 officers told to keep it secret have been making a point to telling those who asked in some cases, so expect a shitshow. Hilariously enough only ones getting tested are the already dead so expect lethality to look outrageous. I don't get it either Sanchez is fucking retarded is the only thing I can think of right now. I'm also fucking livid. But let's keep morale up, hey. Breathe in, breathe out.
And I'm finally up to date! And it only took... 9 hours enclosed with a broken computer. Which btw just got fixed so hooray for pals with software knowledge! Anywhooo I got a lot to check to give you fresh memes but for now let's answer some of y'all.
Vodka+water makes good rubbing alcohol.
Unless people sperg bought liquor too...
Depending on concentration you might not even need the water. 70% alcohol. Water is just added to lower graduation if it's too high. Also, hand sanitizers wreck your hands to the point of microfissures due to dryness so add glycine to hidrate them if possible, though either way you shouldn't overuse them. Soap and warm running water if possible.
Our favourite Intelligista Eco-Fascists are at it again. They've hastily rebranded as "Pause the System" basically calling for the whole of the UK's economy to be ground to a screeching halt, and for everyone to be given lots and lots of money and to make thousands of mortage agents unemployed by stopping Mortgage repayments and to stop all rents.
They even turned up in hilariously useless looking hazmat suits to whine at the government to enact sweeping Baby's First Maxism.
Two of the organisers are Steph Zupan and Dan Kidby, noted members and organisers of Extinction Rebellion.
They also magically want the government, while paying everyone to not work and do nothing, to magically make all CO2 go away, and stop all animal farming and sale of livestock and meat.
I'm glad it's ripping through London more than anywhere else as it might take these fascist thugs down before hitting actual human beings with souls.
Well don't worry you fucking crazies. With china imploding CO2 will REALLY go down now! Oh what's that you don't want CO2 to actually lower just to use it as a weapon? Well fuck you!
These fucking people I swear to god what the fuck is wrong with some assholes.
If you're talking about electrochemistry and electric charges, you'd be right.
However, the whole principle of water adhering to glass is due to the fact that silica and water are both polar: thus, like likes like. Similarly, oil-based substances will adhere to surfaces such as wax paper, as they are both nonpolar substances.
Here's hoping it's just the flu, but I have a feeling it's not ...
I'm torn between wanting and not wanting the candy from that monstrosity.
Actually! Positive charges atract negative charges, this is true in both physics and ALL chemistry. The reason polar molecules atract each other is that the positive part of one gets stuck to the negative of the next and so forth. Not just polar=atraction, they, for lack of a better term, set each other into a semi ordered matrix.
This is actually really important for organic chemistry, as the charge of a molecule is nowhere near as important as where it is in the molecules and wether a "2+" molecule is that way because it just has 2 positive charges, or it has X negative charges and X+2 positives.
As for apolars. They don't atract each other. They are indifferent. Reason they get together is they get yeeted into place by polar molecules who want to take their place. Hencefore, polar oposites attract, like doesn't ever atract like. Yes, I know I'm a pedant I had to study this shit I got bragging rights.
The MO of shitheads around the world for decades has been "Blame America." In recent times you can add "/Trump" to that call.
That isn't to deny that America/Trump aren't also to blame sometimes. But if the immediate response is a blanket blame on America you can rest assured that someone is deflecting.
But you see what I did two sentences back? The part where I hedged slightly? America can never do that.
Donald Trump can never do that. Obama did that shit and look at how much ideological territory was lost, or maybe I should say handed over. You can never hedge your bets at the level of international politics or the national level if your country is at all important. Trump knows this was not his nation's fault and therefore cannot and should not ever accept any blame for this. Any ground surrendered to rivals and enemies (in his own fucking house) will be used to lynch him and weaken America.
And all the better that in this case the truth is on his side. Like
@JosephStalin has been saying over and over again: you aren't going to put two months of footage of Chinese citizens being locked in their houses or carted off in steel boxes back in the bottle. While Trump is uniting American industry into a team of rivals and begrudgingly shutting down commerce and industry (this is gonna hurt but it won't kill us) he throws in a single sentence about the virus starting in China and that is all anyone wants to focus on.

The truth is a better shield than a lie. Especially in the age of video evidence. Deflect harder, losers.
So, I did notice my recent post sometimes got autism ratings when I quipped about burgerland. So in case it's just about this, let me clarify, while I give no two shits about puzzle pieces, I don't actually want to attack burgerland, please do note how I talk of every country and compare. As you can see, I'm spanish, and we like to talk shit about everyone, even ourselves... specially ourselves. So I assure you if I actually hated you, you'd know. Because I'd be mentioning you in the same terms I mention the Chinese Communist Party and most spanish party's.
Last week
@JosephStalin said everything was fiiiiine and panicking was silly.
Time you were called on your bullshit, Georgian.
He's been saying from the start you should prepare but not stress. He was and still is right on that. Maybe it's you who deserves to be called out, you avatarless sock puppet.
The way that the UK is dealing with this it pathetic. My mum lives a town over and has had a chesty cough but she's been told by her work to keep working or else docked pay and she's disabled, so chances are this'll effect her more than her 20 something year old colleagues. As for me, I went to the hospital earlier today for a routine physio appointment and the atmosphere was weird. Hand sanitizer everywhere - from entrance to the physio reception, there were three stops to wash your hands at. Different to how it usually is in there. My physio was asking me tonnes of questions about how I was feeling, more so about corona than what I was actually there for. Anyway, I've got home, had a nap and now my chest is tight and I've got an annoying cough. My work's implementation has literally been to disinfect pens after customers use them but to try not to take any time off because if over your absence quota, you could be fired.
Sucks, the UK is bullshit and I'm pretty sure the government is doing essentially nothing right now.
That is certainly worrying. Though it's not necessarily your government. Until they go full Sanchez you shouldn't panic too much.
Someone smarter then me explain the numbers please do I add them together. Since im a 28 year old male with hypertension does that mean I have a 9% chance of dying? My hypertension seems to be in control now, so I hope that knocks the majority of my chances of dying down.
It doesn't work that way, I won't get into details as they're uneeded but in IDEAL, NOT REALISTIC models you'd multiply the asthma percentage by the male percentage then divide it by the female percentage, (as male/female would be the proportion of males) but that's if it was 100% independent which it likelt isn't. For dependent system it gets long tedius and requires more info.
Point is, either way, it's possible but unlikely, so call your healthcare, see your options, self isolate and take care while not exhibiting serious symptoms, get professional help as soon as you get any symptoms that might indicate it's evolved (arrytmia, lack of breath, dizzyness, exhaustion, etc)
Your mum just has a hilariously shitty employer, not the response of the UK. She could go off sick as per government advice and drag them before an ombusdman if they sack her.
The UK response is actually pretty good insofar that they don't want to pointlessly suspend life itself in a pointless blind panic which will encourage complacency when it hits us hard in a month or two's time, but restrictions will be coming.
Large scale events are being cancelled in order to free up the medical personnel usually required for them as opposed to "stopping the spread" as noted by the Scots who's smaller resources means they want to free them up to train now as opposed to later on, while the English side can still spare some more time before it changes tact.
Large numbers of businesses in the UK are already taking steps to mitigate and encourage people to work from home, but certain businesses will have to retain staffing levels. Namely food distribution, banking, fuel and healthcare.
Hospitals are now moving towards the necessary isolation measures, no visitors to large swathes of the hospital and individual visitors to the terminal cancer ward. I saw some people wearing gloves and one patient was moved about the hospital with a face mask while I was there.
All elective surgeries are cancelled in Pillockshire's NHS Trust and there are currently no plans even in doomsday scenarios of stopping people who need treatment etc, the plan would be to expand isolation wards/places to put Coronavirus victims.
Thanks to the screeching tardation of the press further whipping up fear and frenzy, Downing Street is now going to give daily briefings and updates (also livestreamed) from 16.30 today.
Glad to hear the government is doing fine despite the gaffes that got televised. You britbongs really gotta learn to drop that innate cynicism behind sometimes.
Same for eastern europe. This is usually a good thing that results in nice blackface videos, but....
The overwhelming sentiment is still that the virus can not hurt whites, since Germans are not dying out, only the dark skinned Italians.
So they didn't get the memmo that according to the germans the italians were more pure than the "asiatic" slavs. Also specially lol at the balkans talking about genetic purity. You don't get more mixed than that mess.
