Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Anya15]

It couldn’t have been something cool christ! i would if settle for zombies! But all we get is super pneumonia from bat shit!

Made a run to my local gun store earlier today to grab extra ammo just in case, turns out they put a moratorium on ammo sales due to 'supply shortages'. They looked pretty cleaned out from what I could see. Luckily I bought some boxes earlier last month thanks to the thread. Interestingly they were still selling guns but they looked pretty cleaned out of that as well, a lot of empty AR racks and such. Did any of you have similar experience on your last minute gun runs?

Drove past a gun store yesterday, there was a line out and on to the sidewalk. Granted it's a small store but still.

Not all CCP are bad. What about this guy?

The New Zealand government is giving the Maori (native) people 56 million dollars to assist with coronavirus care. Just them.

"... the lack of a pandemic plan for Māori exposes racist policies underpinning the current health system."

Huh? Lol.

Everything will be ok folks, the world needed a culling and this will disproportionately affect the poor and unproductive

Not really. If anything people who are productive and sociable seem to be the most at risk. Us hermits with no friends collating information on the internet about topics that will never be part of any normal conversation will be just peachy as far as I can see. Old guy across from my place? Drunkard, divorced, no friends, wanders the parking lot at 3am muttering to himself? That's who you'll be left to procreate with

How many Maori (excuse me, Māori) even have corona?

Old guy across from my place? Drunkard, divorced, no friends, wanders the parking lot at 3am muttering to himself? That's who you'll be left to procreate with

Not just procreate. Every industry with productive and sociable people will be wiped out. The entertainment industry will be restaffed with 3am mutterers.

A new golden age awaits.

Personal anecdote:

Apparently someone who is a friend of a friend was trying to escape from Cali to New York. Her plan was to arrive to the east coast and then self-quarantine for two weeks. I am iffy on the logic of that, but the girl had a hell of a time getting boarded on the flight due to complications in logistics from this whole pandemic, if I am to believe her. Makes you wonder how bad Cali will be hit by this.

I hope she means she's going upstate or something and not NYC, which I assume will be just as bad if not worse than some parts of Cali.

I've been urging my friends in NYC to consider leaving if at all possible for months. At this point I'm less scared of them getting sick (they're pretty well locked down atleast) than what might happen to them when shit hits the fan there, I think it's going to get ugly, not just with illness, but the possibility of looting/riots/violence.

I can't imagine a Wuhan style lockdown working in New York long term. Even in the hardest hit parts of Italy they're having a hard time keeping people inside, I just can't imagine New Yorkers complying any better.

I just hope things turn out OK in the DFW metroplex.
while Dallas county was the only blue surrounded by red, it's just one part of the entire metroplex.

So what you're saying is by late May we good Kiwi Farmers will rule the Earth?

The New World Powers post WuFlu World will be
- DPRK
-Tibet
-Cuba
-Kiwi Farms
-The Brotherhood of Steel

Autism shall inherit the Earth.

As loyal as I am to you fellow Kiwi's, I want it understood that I go with the first group to give me a full T51b suit.

OK this is epic. Much MURICA

A Softback owned patent troll is using patents granted in error to Theranos- a company, that, you may remember, never innovated anything and was nothing but a scam- to sue a company that has actually created a coronavirus test that might allow some Americans to be tested.

SoftBank Owned Patent Troll, Using Monkey Selfie Law Firm, Sues To Block Covid-19 Testing, Using Theranos Patents

Honestly, I wasn't sure how to begin this story or how to fit all the insanity into the title. It's a story involving patents, patent trolling, Covid-19, Theranos, and even the company that brought us all WeWork: SoftBank. Oh, and also Irell...

www.techdirt.com

The main law firm involved is Irell & Manella, lawyers Morgan Chu, Alan Heinrich, Keith Orso, Adina Stohl, Dennis Courtney, Brian Weissenberg and Chaplin Carmichael. The local Delaware firm is Farnan LLP, lawyers Brian Farnan (1976-03-24) and Michael Farnan (1981-10-02). Good GOP voters.

EDIT: They're claiming they're granting a license for the purpose of coronavirus tests now, but the idea that Theranos developed anything is absurd.

As someone who gets drunk and mutters to himself at 3 am, I am excited by these developments.

1 more death today, a lady this time.

We had 318 cases today, the gov. expected 400, so there is some optimism. Still, the results of the qurantine will just noticed in the next days. There will be one more week, but if things don't improve, it could be more. The country will still be under state of emergency for two more weeks, and any entrance to foreigners will still be banned. Today, teh borders were finally closed and nobody else can enter or leave, not even through humanitarian flights. If you know someone who's stuck here, they're trapped with the rest of us.

Also, about 3000 people have been arrested or detained for breaking the curfew, mostly people who are using the excuse of walking out their dogs to go out. Last night, a man not only did not want to stop his car when a soldier asked him to, but ran him over and killed him. People are fuming over it because everybody's growing a sense of solidarity with the military and their efforts to take care of us.

About our neighbors, Argentina is in lockdown too. A friend from there told me he just ran to buy the last of groceries for him, his wife, and baby. They really don't have much money as Argentina lives day by day thanks to their terrible economy, so it's all even harder for them. Colombia will follow soon with the absolute lockdown. Venezuela also started already, but they started back in 1999 so no big difference.

Today, Spain PM spoke to the nation. He pretty much blamed everybody but his own government. Later, there was a pot and pan protest, you know,t he ones when people beat pots to make noise in protest. The Left there staged a protest against the King some days ago, but there were very few people. Mostly because people have no problem with the King and the King did nothing wrong. The government, otoh, mishandled the situation, lied to people, and it's using the situation to take over the country, give regions independence, shut down the congress, and get away with the statization of certain public services. The people are protesting the man behind all of this, Pablo Iglesias, the commie Vice President who is a puppet of Cuba and Maduro. You can search "cacerolada" in YT or twitter and see all the videos. Here is one, from Salamanca:

Cordoba

Ceuta

Madrid

The media is barely reporting them, of course. They were all over the one against the King. Of course.

Here, at home, we're fine. Hubs had to leave the whole day for work as he was needed. I felt very trapped. The family went to sleep early because there is nothing more to do once the city is all closed at 8pm. It's only day 6... still 9 to go.

BTW, don't really worry much about the economy. Big corporations will suffer, but small business will likely recover. Many people here are commenting they're desperate to leave the quarantine and go back to normal. Most people want to go to restaurants. I definitely want to. We have everything rationed and even though I bought some candy today, we still can go out to get more every day. In my case, I'm cleaning the house and finding things to repair. All hardware stores here are closed, but as soon as they are open again, I'm gonna buy all the things I'm listing to buy. Today, at the bodega, I bought some small, cheap shit I didn't really need only because I fucking needed to buy something. I know it's silly, but I've been locked in for so long. (it was just notebooks to write, so I'm using them anyway, I guess).

Stay safe, kiwis. We're gonna make it!!!

Pawn shops in my area are pretty stocked up on ammo and guns. Could just be my area though (rural midwest). Everyone here is usually packing and constantly stocked up. Check the pawn shops. If they dont have something they might be able to acquire it.

20K Post Prediction:

This was the act of Null. He unleashed Wu-Flu on us all.

Also, Australia going into full lockdown now.

NSW, Victoria and ACT signalled shutdown before PM's strict new measures

NSW, Victoria and the ACT Governments steam ahead with their own lockdown plans hours before Scott Morrison country-wide closures were announced.

I wanna know about the bottle shops. Are they classified as 'essential'? Lol.

If I can't get blackout drunk during the coronalypse, I'll be very disappointed.
