UK's Foreign Office now advices against all non essential travel overseas. Might lead to a glut of staycations once this passes.


Why is California releasing prisoners out into the streets? Wouldn't be easier to quarantine them in their cells? Or just depopulate the prison with the virus?

It's California. The whole state seems to have a death wish.
 
Freeze your sperm.
The thing that worries me about the over 70 part is yes, most boomers get it but there's also numerous reports of young, healthy 20 year olds getting them too, to the point where doctors were genuinely surprised to see so many young people (like the Italy leak and the recent Seattle report). And there's talk about Iran of kids getting it
I'm not one to hop onto an obvious bot twitter and a 4chan post for "info."
Also, I don't know reports that said no young people get sick, but just that they are more like to be asymptomatic and less likely to die unless they have pre-existing conditions. With Seattle's case, how many of those young people vape? Vaping can be bad for lungs and it is common among young people in America. It wouldn't surprise me to see if there is more young cases in the US due to that.

A lot of young people will not say that they smoke when you ask because they view vaping as different. (it is, but it still impairs breathing and lung function) When I conduct interviews with them a lot of them say no about smoking or similar activities unless you specify vaping/smoking marijuana in there too.

Does obesity impact the outcome of this? A lot of Americans are not only overweight, but obese, so wondering if that can be why we may see more younger people than in other parts of the world.
 
Maybe people with exceptional financial habits deserve to suffer because of them

Oh, I have no doubt idiots would go out and blow it on hookers, car rims and cocaine.

But it shows where we are at right now. If these shutdowns continue, we are looking at a massive economic collapse.

Don't get me wrong, my inner fiscal conservative balks at the idea, but it's an option now on the table. (Incredibly)

I would imagine that some/many cases of obesity would definitely play a factor ... Especially if the weight hinders a person's breathing.
 
Took a look around during the morning walk.

Traffic on the freeway 50-70% of normal, likely primarily due to the schools being closed. Local K-12 district was to be closed this week for spring break anyway.

Went to nearby 7-11 to see if they had milk. They did. Thought about going to the commissary to see how things were but believe I'll just go on the regular Saturday trip. Am guessing there will be a new guest policy in place, item limits, or both by then. Don't expect to see what I saw Saturday. Garrison (base) commanders, and senior officers in general view such animalistic behavior very dimly and normally ensure it isn't repeated. Wouldn't be allowed on my watch, that's for sure.

No shelter-in-place here as yet. Doubt it will affect me personally. After the morning walk, am usually inside all day anyway due to allergies. About the only places I go are to the commissary, Costco, and medical appointments.

Hmmm...looking at the YT feed, USA is up to 5709 cases - for a nation of 335 million. China's numbers have hardly changed at all, but they're lying.
 
For those of you hoping for a quick vaccine, let Crazy Uncle Johnny tell you a fucking tale...

See, Crazy Uncle Johnny took a few TBI's working for Uncle Sugar when he was younger. Now, this particular employer of mine, who goes by the initials DOD and DOA, selected Johnny for a few tests a few times.

One of which was a fucking vaccine.

Now, back in the day, Uncle Johnny was a tough motherfucker. A fucking street machine with a bloody grin, if you know what I mean. I was goddamn invincible.

I got told I could dodge an Article-15 if I "volunteered" for special duty. My number got picked and I was told to show up, sign these forms or else, and go get my new vaccine. I was told that 20% of us would only be getting a placebo. Welp, despite hunting all over post for a virgin, I wasn't able to sacrifice one and I didn't end up in the 20% bracket.

I got fucking sick. We're not talking Influenza sick, or fucking measles sick, radiation poisoning, or fucking malaria sick, I've been those sick.

We're talking SICK. My bones felt like they made out of glass, my fucking bone marrow ached and burned. My skin felt like it was peeling off and cracking. I couldn't get enough to drink or eat but so much as cracker dust left me spewing chunky liquid and foam from both ends that contained stuff I didn't remember eating. Then I got the fever. Holy shit. My brain started to fucking cook and I went to the ER with a fever high enough one of the medic girls in the barracks thought I was going to die and drug me into a cold shower while we were waiting for the ambulance. Unfortunately for the ER docs at the medical center, Uncle Johnny liked to lift iron plates in his spare time and liked to fight with other exceptional individuals for fun.

That fucking vaccine fucked me up. I mean, fucked me up hard. I was a tough motherfucker, one of those hyperactive bastards who tear through sickness in like no time with an immune system built for fucking speed that you can only get growing up in a 1970's trailer park and playing in the nearby junkyard till you were 10 to avoid your anti-vax hippy parents, but this shit fucked me up so bad it took me nearly two months to recover, to the point that the unit I was in put me on a desk job. I'd wake up with the shakes worse than when I tried to quit drinking after 2 years trying to drown myself in German booze and pussy. I'd lose my balance and fall down. I lost sixty fucking pounds. I couldn't keep half the food I ate down and would randomly puke it up. I'd go fucking randomly deaf in one ear.

Was it all for the common good?

Nope. The vaccine trials turned out to be a fucking failure, but they didn't find out until after the human trials. It was promising in animals. The first diluted tests works and showed no harm done. But the actual full strength vaccine?

I literally wished I was fucking dead. And I'd been scraped up with a spatula twice.

I was the only motherfucker in that control group of full strength vaccine that stayed in service.

How bad was it? The VA gave me rating just because I was given it. Not a big one, but for the VA to give some dipshit like me any rating? Yeah, they gave it to me without even arguing, just went "Oh shit, here, have some percentage, my dude!". They gave me a higher rating for that fucking vaccine then they did the TBI that wiped out some of my fucking memories.

Until the first wave of fucking tests go through and the first wave of civilians and civilian political leaders get it, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Semper fi, kiwi.

Not all of us, PP. Just the idiots in the state capital, Sacramento, and those in charge in the coastal counties.

There are really two Californias. You have the coastal counties, mostly heavily populated. Can also be known as the world's largest open-air insane asylum. Get in from the coast and as a rule, things turn rather more conservative, except for Sacramento. Unfortunately, coastal crazies' votes tend to ensure a lot of overly liberal people get elected to state offices, as well as the US Senate.

Most of us in the coastal counties who are normal try to live our lives without reference to the crazy shit that comes out of Sacramento and the various county seats/cities/towns.
 
We got Japan demographics and Iran healthcare. The goverment must be shitting bricks.
I dont know, white people and slavs are till now way less likely to die than others. the explosion in deathrates only happened in southern countries.
germany still has a mortality rate of 0.3 while spain has 4.4 and france has 2.2

Don't get me wrong, my inner fiscal conservative balks at the idea, but it's an option now on the table. (Incredibly)

This is why, barring a massive increase in cases, I see many of the oppressive measures lifted as of early April. Economy won't be able to stand it.
 
Update:
The China They don't want you to see 3/17/2020 31:43 minutes. NOTE: He will talk a lot about these Chinks eating dogs and other animals.

My Take.
He's god damn right. Everything he has stated is correct. And these shit moneys come over here and try to do the same thing over here. They will fucking eat anything and everything.

I myself would use it as an opportunity to finish my Legion of the Damned list. I get the feeling I'll have plenty of time to actually paint my 40k miniatures instead of pretending they're "gray" knights.

For all the "it's just a flu, bro. Only fatal if over 70" talk my biggest concern on catching it is the rumours of sterilization. Lung damage blows but I can live with but would be my luck to go infertile when I got married, a house and got the implant removed from my wife just because some dumbass figured it was no big deal and didn't cover their mouth when coughing.
If it is any consolation mumps was not a 'death sentence' to my father who sired two healthy spawn (who looked just like him, kek) post adult mumps. I see this thing compared to mumps and I think the testicular damage is an outlier, if you're scared, get some sperm frozen, it'll likely be ok.
 
Given how hard Iran was hit. At least we can avoid a war with sand niggęrs

Plenty of other kebab where those came from. They multiply like cockroaches. Don't get rid of the grenade launcher in your living room.

So corona-chan is ignoring Gen-X, just like everyone else? :optimistic:
