Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[LordofTendons]

In theory, a Huge chunk of this is paid for by making any business that signs up for emergency assistance uncle sugars bitch. The loans would have to be repaid with (small) interest, and the more extreme stock buying program would mean Uncle Sugar is now a co-owner of every corner coffee shop slinging fair trade organically sourced stuff at 5 dollars a cup.

About 400 billion of it is completely gone though, in the form of direct cash bailouts. Give or take. If the economy really recovers though, the stock buy in small businesses could actually turn a profit.

With the government as co-owner of your business, won't that make you subject to every stupid government regulation on the books? And won't you then be filling out all kinds of forms in triplicate?

I also just want to point out, and I've been meaning to say this for awhile, that while everybody is sperging about Chinese people eating bats and how they're dirty and they suck, it was CHINESE PEOPLE in WUHAN who were very early on posting videos warning the WORLD about what was really going on there, at great risk to themselves. I know nothing will stop racist kiwi shitposters so I almost never even try, but some people really need to calm down.

My beef has always been with the Chinese government and people that are offended with the phrase "Taiwan numbah wan." Cause fuck those guys. Especially people running defense for those assholes. Are you running defense for those assholes?

Maybe now they'll understand why having a bunch of crazy, drug and drink addled hobos living on the street leaving human poo and used needles lying around is a bad thing.

Problem is much more complex than what it seems. Los Angeles really has become "Los Assholes" (I renamed it after living here for about 5 years).

Unfortunately many of the homeless are also "Assholes" and if you want to gain a basic understanding of this problem, pay a visit and drive thru the flower district, turned Skid Row, after 6 pm, when they set up camp.

Although you can't say this about every homeless person, by any means, the ones downtown would probably not accept help, even if you offered it to them. In general, these folks are very sick, physically and mentally. We are talking about the kind of people who get into a fistfight with a mailbox, because the mailbox disrespected them.

Granted you can round them up and put them in a mental institution, but you have to have the staffing, and the collective will, on the part of this population, to take medications with awful side effects and to live basically incarcerated. You also have to have the will, among the taxpayer and health systems, to fund such an operation.

And you have to have very special people who are willing to help folks who they might place on a gurney, and when they turn around to check on them, the patient tries to take his or her hepatitis shit-infested fingernail to the responder's eyeball.

Perhaps this Wu-Flu might be enough to persuade the non-crazy homeless to give up panhandling and soup kitchens, and life a settled life and be boring. Who knows?

Good news

Hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic derivative of chloroquine, is effective in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro
yellow nigger Jia Liu and his team have confirmed their findings from early February in a new clinical study.

​

Clinical investigation found that high concentration of cytokines were detected in the plasma of critically ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that cytokine storm was associated with disease severity .Other than its direct antiviral activity, HCQ is a safe and successful anti-inflammatory agent that has been used extensively in autoimmune diseases and can significantly decrease the production of cytokines and, in particular, pro-inflammatory factors. Therefore, in COVID-19 patients, HCQ may also contribute to attenuating the inflammatory response. In conclusion, our results show that HCQ can efficiently inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro.

​

Study 18th of March​

Old Study 4th of February​

​

La' French Study

​

There is another French Study (not yet published) with Plaquenil (basically Hydroxychloroquine )which shows very encouraging results. Quiet the small test group but, 600mg Plaquenil per day; 3 days for 50% and 6 days for 70% of the Infected to get Wu-flu free. A combo with Azithromycin UK or Zithromax showed even better results.​

It's very easy for the US government to figure out how bad things really are in China. They just got to turn all those satellites from watching air bases to watching hospitals. I think by this point they do know how bad it could be. Italy is a definite storm warning. Their hospital system is starting to fail even under draconian lockdown measures and the infection rate continues to climb.

You can bet the aftermath of this is going to be fun when all the classified info is finally leaked or released.

Aren't Italians infamous for having no concept of personal space and greeting each other with hugs and kisses?

Alright Kiwis listen up. I don't usually post on this forum and only signed up to talk shit about Star Wars so spreading fear mongering and nonsense is the last of my prioritized shit.

Got news from governor's office in an undisclosed state. Been told national lockdown is happening by the end of this week in the United States. National Guard is rolling out everywhere and they're preparing the state militias. Interstate travel will be banned.

I'm rating you autistic right now, but I'm coming back to change it to winner if you're right.

No, I'm not one of the CCP shills like @backfad . I just like Chinese people because I have a lot of Chinese friends and family. I have noticed many people here focusing their anger on the Chinese government instead of the people and I actually appreciate that.

You know, watching the whipsaw sea change in American politics has made me realize some things. I don't want to wax dramatically or autistically (but I am gonna anyway), but it's pretty clear by now this is the worst emergency facing America since world war 2. Hell, it's probably the worst emergency facing the entire world since world war 2. But you know what? We got through such emergencies before. Because we are fucking America. And once we get through this we will drag the rest of the world along with us because Team America always saves the fucking day. Yeah.

What can we all do to win? The first thing we can do is fight the CCP propaganda trying to underplay this and their own responsibility in it. But more importantly though we can renew the bonds with our own neighbors that have been neglected over the past few decades not giving a shit. If you know of any elderly near you see if they need help. (Safely). The same goes for your fellow citizens facing financial ruin because of this. Take care of yourself but realize the world will not end because of this and nothing is helped by cowering. We may end up quarantined for a time but eventually it will have to be lifted even if the danger is not gone.

This is honestly our generations greatest challenge and we need to rise to it. Our past good life was built on the shoulders of giants and we owe it to their legacy to not let it fall to ruin.

 

[Slap47]

Is eating horse, frog and gator even that bad? Pretty sure everybody eats that tbh.

Although, I thought Americans were horrified by the idea of eating horse. I know the Mongolians do it.

 

[It's HK-47]

Yes, that's possibly due to the fact that the ships aren't designed to treat Chinese Virus patients, but rather the USNS Comfort & Mercy will be treating trauma patients as well as other emergency patients in order to ease the overflow at hospitals, and help free up capacity and allow for more resources to be dedicated to the COVID patients. Good job at trying to mislead everyone though. Cunts.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Do you guys think the U.S will take longer or shorter to see a decreased trajectory similar to China's? I'm thinking longer because China went draconian hard and fast to shut shit down, I don't think the U.S government has the will to follow suit.

No time at all, the US could just lie about the numbers like China. Trajectory solved.

 

[Shield Breaker]

My job last week 'We will not fire anyone.'

My job today 'Part timers gtfo.'

I know that it sounds awful, but I am torn between feeling bad for them and being glad I not only have a necessary position, but also seniority .

 

[TaimuRadiu]

Senate Republicans have unveiled their relief plan for dealing with this mess.

Cash payment of 1,200 dollars per person
500 dollars for dependent children
Full stop delay of all tax payment for the 2019 tax year until October of 2020 with no penalties.

A non-interest loan to all companies under 500 employees up to 10 million dollars

Now here is the big one. The Government will also offer to buy stock options in all businesses up to 425,000 dollars. To include private small businesses. In return, the US Government will be entitled to a share of future profits in the businesses commensurate to its stock stake in the companies for the next 2 years or until the buy in is fully discharged. Basically you can sell stake in your small business to Uncle Sugar for the next 2 years, and after those 2 years you can buy back the difference in the stock if Uncle Sugar has not made back in full what was given.

And assorted cash payouts to hard hit industries like the airlines.

Total appropriation is 1 trillion dollars.

So basically, everyone's getting some form of UBI, the federal government may own up to 51% of private businesses, we have to close our borders and become ultra self reliant...

Did I say we needed to fight CCP propaganda in my last post? I forgot to add that should include an angry mob of Georgians with a guillotine marching into downtown Atlanta.

I actually started feeling this way yesterday. I don't know if I'm just in the "denial" phase but I actually kind of want to help people and stuff.
