I know :) we can both go to the gulag together @mindlessobserver for misgendering.

Any update on Africa, anyone? I saw a few pages back there were cases found now in most countries. Or India? Indonesia? I am curious (in a horrified way) to see what happens there. I suspect big cities and crowded areaS like townships will be hit badly and whole swathes of the interior will be unaffected, with a few local spikes where it gets into otherwise poorly connected communities.
187 out of 195 countries in the world have the virus. The few remaining countries with no known cases seem to mostly be in Africa, but they probably just haven't noticed it yet, and are early in the timeline. I haven't heard of anything going down in Africa but they do have the virus.
 
Nope, I live in the North East cost of living is in fact not "super low"

I survive (quite well actually) by not getting myself into debt, by not buying stupid shit that has no value and by not having a kid.

Also...by not smoking Holy hell if 99% of the Stampers who came through my store didn't smoke they wouldn't need Food Stamps.

I just don't understand it because I live in a place that's basically average cost of living and I consume at least $17,000 a year living modestly. What do you spend, monthly, on food and rent? I overspend a lot on food ($450) and spend somewhat high on rent ($750) but I barely ever buy stuff otherwise. I'm going on to a grad student assistantship and am thinking about taking student loans out to avoid having to cut back on expenses. I can't fathom how you live so cheaply unless you eat rice/peanut butter sandwiches and live in a slum.
 
"Everyone who thinks coronavirus is harmless or doesn’t matter should rethink that opinion immediately. This is an extremely dangerous pathogen with wide spreading implications, including neurological impairment, brain, lung, heart & reproductive damage."

Yes, "go back to work and everything is fine" is exactly what I think of when I see someone say this. You're right. I suppose the fact that every other nation on Earth is also keenly interested in these studies, conducting their own studies and procuring these medicines is an entirely unrelated matter. At no point has he promoted this as the be-all and end-all "cure" for the Kung Flu. You're just being silly.
Oh, is that why the actual experts are reacting like this to Trump's lies?

Another thing Africa has going for it is their is such limited international travel to it. They will start spiking last, but it will get really bad in their urban slums. People forget how big cities in Africa can get. Kinshasa has almost 12 million people in it. The implications of this getting loose there is unimaginable. Their hospitals probably don't even have oxygen, let alone ventilators.

If that was his genuine intention and he just wanted everyone to shuffle back into their offices, I don't particularly believe that we'd still be getting advice to stay locked up in our homes, nor would I think that the Army being deployed to New York City make a terrific amount of sense. Chloroquine is effective in treating this, that's absolutely true, but it is not being promoted as some sort of "the pandemic is over, just take this pill" solution.

People suffering from TDS often mishear the word "treatment," and think they hear "definitive cure," instead.

Additionally, they mishear the words, "terrible virus," and instead they hear, "nothingburger."

My Rent is 625(A ridiculous amount tbh for what my apartment is) a month I spend about 200 dollars on food a month. Most of my food is frozen items (because I can't be bothered to actually cook, I could reduce that by cooking for myself but..fuuuccccckkk that)

Theres your problem, you are going to higher education, you think your bills are fucked now? Hope your degree is something you end up using or get ready for real levels of getting fucked.

Now show the video where he's laughing, you pollution goblin worshipping gook propaganda spewing fucking sped.

Christ, this is why we should have driven straight up into the middle of China after we broke your backs in North Korea, you fucking dog eating slant eyed animals.

Eat a bowl of dick.

Someone in this exact thread already showed everyone that he was covering up a laugh, but at this point I'm tired of chasing after the goalposts that you keep moving whenever anything that you say becomes intercepted, so why don't we do this: There's two divergent paths here. I'll take the one that goes "This isn't being downplayed" and you can take the one where you go, "Thank you China for your amazing, medical research!" and we can both go home happy.

Not that we're not already at home, anyways. If you're not at home then I hope you're practicing good social distancing.

Don't worry, I'm going into an Economics PhD. They have an unemployment rate of about 0 (actual employment in-field) and very high starting salaries (but not better than engineers/programmers). I figure that I can take just a small amount of debt ($5,000 or less) each year and then pay it all in a single year after graduating.
 
The study actually exists and Trump doesn't have a " 'just a flu bro, go back to work' narrative".
We get it. You are gay for this rando and want to suck his D.

That would be haram. He wants to get a frankengina like a good little Iranian.

Now show the video where he's laughing, you pollution goblin worshipping gook propaganda spewing fucking sped.

He's (LARPing as an?) Iranian.

He's Iranian, he's anti-America rather than pro-China, necessarily.
 
So Illinois is "shut down" and I'm in the suburbs just outside of Chicago.

Nothing has changed. Fast food places are still open, people going to best buy and shit, everyone's out and driving around. Everyone has just completely ignored the warning. Amazing.
You know, when you were younger, and you read about massive plagues and asked the teacher "Why didn't they stop doing that? They knew the disease was out there but they still rubbed hooker ass on their face. Why? Why didn't they take the precautions they understood?" and the teacher went "We don't know..."

Well, now you know.

Because people are retarded fuckwits who only think of their own pleasure.

Oh, my mistake. I mistook him for a possibly member of the human race, not a child killing jet plane blowing up pole smoking dune coon camel jockey masturbating to the thought of throwing an old man in wheelchair off a boat.

I'll just put his moon god worshipping cave dwelling fuckwitted ass on ignore then.

He'll be dead soon enough.

OK, bud, I'm glad you think it's fine that patients with lupus and arthritis are going to suffer organ damage for lack of drugs they need to treat their illnesses, because rich 'New York people' are taking them in a completely unproven use as a prophylactic against the AIPAC virus.
shortages of the two drugs could come at a serious cost for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients who depend on them to alleviate symptoms of inflammation, including preventing organ damage in lupus patients...

“It’s gone. It’s not in the pharmacy now,'' said Alexander Morden, a physician in Queens who is taking the drug in the hope of staving off infection. He said he has prescribed hydroxychloroquine to about 30 of his patients as a prophylactic
After all, it's good for The Economy. #TrustThePlan

Okay, well then you should probably blame China for giving everyone the idea then, so nevermind, I guess you took Road C instead.
 
Can somebody please enlighten as to the symptoms of bronchitis vs. COVID?

PL ... (stupid) but I have this full feeling in my chest when I lie down, but to the side, it feels tighter in both sides and near the trachea. It has been a sloshiness in lower lung, one side and the other. Moving around produces unproductive cough.

Called doc and she told me NOT to go anywhere unless I can't breathe and run a fever, because there ARE people at testing places who have it and can expose further. She said that there is a snowball's chance in hell that they will test, unless you are showing extreme symptoms. The rest are advised to rest and not leave home.

That is why I am posting here. Sorry about the TMI but is anybody else having these symptoms and are they bronchitis? Bacterial pneumonia, viral, COVID, influenza?
