Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[BipolarPon]

Economic hit? Fuck that. Give me my T-51b. They deserve a mushroom-hot war for all the bullshit games they've been pulling for the past twenty years.

Madagascar despite it being a biodiversity hotspot got punished hard for an corruption scandal while china with way more corruption and a lot more human right abuses gets no retribution. A lot of lemur species are endangered because Madagascar is super poor and many people are forced to hunt for bushmeat to survive. Since Cornavirus is now in several African countries dose that mean it will kill off non-human primates as well?

 

[Feline Supremacist]

We shouldn't collectively group people as bad that's racist. White guy being mean to a chinese, whites must pay for their horrible racism and the let the chinese coof on them! Seriously though cooking meat alive is so impractical, and besides why do the chinese like to eat everything even endangered animals, china is doing way worse to the environment than many western countries combined.

I swear the media is inflating the racism angle in order to make trump look bad for calling it an chinese virus, while trying to persuade minorities the only whites they can trust are the rich elites while the middle class and poor are just a bunch of racist hicks. I hate American News Media.

I just notice you're being sarcastic (I hope). Racism, or favoring your ethnic, social or racial group had evolutionary benefits as humans grouped together and avoiding other groups with disease was one of them. We're hardwired for it, the difference between us and bug people is that we know why we do it and at least try not to engage in it .

I was joking on letting chinese people coof on us, I agree people are more hardwired to prefer the familiar, but that doesn't mean bigotry is okay.

So heartwarming and somewhat exciting news.

As I told you due to lack of testing the malaga outbreak has been misreported, buried as unidentifief pneumonia, and due to the government's bullshit they hoped to keep it that way.

I also told you dvery day at 8 we go to the balcony to clap at the medical personnel to thank them for being on the first line. Well this is Carlos Haya. Or as it is better known "el clinico", the malaga hospital containing the outbreak the government wishes we'd forget. And that's every single god damned person with clearance on the damned city that wasn't on duty at the time. Yeah... get fucked, government.

With every video I see, the more pissed off I become.

Also, James Woods just got his Twitter back. He's gonna lose it again, I bet.

I'm almost at a point where I'm considering getting a Twitter account again, if only to repost videos like this over and over. People need to keep seeing it.

[Gustav Schuchardt]

Imperial College, London did some new modelling and the closure of schools, pubs, clubs, cinemas, restaurants, leisure centres, gyms etc etc and now believes UK deaths will top out at about 20k.

From the BBC article



Does anyone else think figures like this are bullshit? We haven't seen that anywhere in the world yet. If you look here you see



Compare to South Korea



Now, of course, we don't know where in the curve the UK is or, admittedly, if it'll follow the same curve. However, I'd say the fact that the UK is in complete lockdown down seems like it should have an effect on how the virus can spread. It's too early to say if UK infections will plateau and start to fall off now, but I'm sure that will happen. South Korea has had 100 deaths. Admittedly people are still dying but the total death toll looks like it will be way under 20K, let alone 250K or 500K. No country has reported a death toll like that. We might suspect that China is lying about their death toll but we have no hard evidence that is the case. Suspicion about the CCP being lying cunts is rational, assuming that they've covered up millions of deaths is not because millions of deaths are hard to hide, even in China.

It reminds me of climate change or Brexit or fucking anything which has happened in the last ten years since the media went full-on apocalypse porn. In each case, they hype up some survey with 'best case', 'medium case' and 'worst case' figures in it and it turns out in a couple of months that every single one of those vastly overestimated how bad things were. And in each case, the media always seems to have some sort of desired option like not leaving the EU or shutting down the whole economy (climate change/coronavirus) and they quote studies that support that option and claim to have the backing of 'The Science'. Despite the fact that almost no journalists understand the first thing about science. All they do is find the most dramatic bad news they can find and scare everyone shitless into backing whatever destructive policy they want. Even the BBC article hints that the study may well be complete bullshit

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51979654

The figures for coronavirus are eye-watering. But what is not clear - because the modellers did not map this - is to what extent the deaths would have happened without coronavirus.

Of course, this will never truly be known until the pandemic is over, which is why modelling is very difficult and has to be heavily-caveated.

But given that the old and frail are the most vulnerable, would these people be dying anyway?

Every year more than 500,000 people die in England and Wales: factor in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the figure tops 600,000.

The coronavirus deaths will not be on top of this. Many would be within this "normal" number of expected deaths. In short, they would have died anyway.

It was a point conceded by Sir Patrick at a press conference on Thursday when he said there would be "some overlap" between coronavirus deaths and expected deaths - he just did not know how much of an overlap.

I dunno about you but saying 'UP TO 500K PEOPLE WILL DIE UNLESS WE SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE ECONOMY' is a lot less convincing if the caveat to that is 'admittedly most of those 500K would have died even with no virus because they were old and sick'.

The innumerates in the media use modeling rather as a drunk uses a lamppost, more for support than for illumination. And usually, the thing they're trying to support is disastrous for the majority of the population.

You know, it's perfectly fine to have opinions that do not excuse the horrible behavior of other cultures/people. That's not bigotry, it's called common sense.

It's a good thing I stopped clicking on vids out of China because I know 90% of them will horrify me.

I mean, I guess an American who cared about their own people might give a shit about having their own government run by their own people for their own interests? Highly implausable though

LOL someone living under the Ayatollahs wrote this


Also the people reeeing about poors getting only half the Trumpbux forget that they are already getting bennies like Section 8, SNAP and (It's FREE! Swipe yo) EBT.

The higher $1200 is for middle class jobhavers who went from Income to Zero in in 60 seconds, still have bills, but don't qualify for anything else based on LY income.

I mesn, right now I have yet to see anything stating you can even qualify for unemployment if your job closed due to govt mandate but you are still on the books and technically employed, which is a shitton of people

Wisconsin took away the week waiting period and waived the work search requirement for anyone who is mandated to stay home. My (small manufacturer) employer has not yet closed, but I will probably be taking next week off completely. What we make is NOT, by any means, necessary and my housemate is in lockdown mode and taking next week off as well. You should check your state's DWD (Dept. of Workforce Development here in WI, your agency may vary) and check out what's available to you.

I think it's hard to really tell. That being said, the Government has been surprisingly honest on many steps of the way and seem to be reacting to the best data available globally as well as local projections. They're keeping things "bite sized" so the public can absorb and adjust to the information and changes.

Things have been gradual and it seems to be letting the public adjust far better than if we'd simply slammed everything shut instantly a la Italy, as it seems to have stopped absolutely fuck all. Its possible we're at the opening stages of our "rising peak" and some hoped for timetables were off by a month or two.

The main problem seems to have been London fucking it up for absolutely everyone else. Folks were social distancing in every public place, supermarkets, pubs, etc already, even in counties where confirmed, serious cases were minimal. The only place which was telling the rest of the country to go fuck itself was the blithely idiotic world apart of the rotting capital.

Now nobody can pop to the local for a quiet pint with a couple of mates.

Things are leveling out here. Stores are able to refill and restock again. people bought what they needed to buy so we are good for a while.
I'm shopping online too.
I think we should just understand that all of us will ge this virus eventually.

Hospitals around Michigan and nationwide are facing shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as N-95 respirators and surgical masks. As a response, health systems are rationing masks and other protective gear. Henry Ford Health System announced Friday that they will begin using homemade protective gear - a strategy the Centers for Disease Control described as "last resort:"
