6th day of quarantine. The dead fill the street. The stench of the bodies is undescribable. Triage isn't even a word as suspect cases are round up and shot, at least those that are lucky... Our only hope comes from the aid brought by our chinese overlords, bringing a small taste of the paradise on the east to us in these dark times. How foolish were we to fight the CCP and its glorious Mandate of Heaven. Now we sinners must pay the price. Or that's what you'd think going by the CCP and WHO propaganda! So back in real world shit's fine, morale is ok enough, some slight bumps in organization needed to be ironed out and we still got an asshole or two but nothing extreme. I will talk on the responses about a case or two of hurt fee fees here and there but morale's more than fine except for medical profesionals in some areas freaking out. And that propaganda shit. God it's getting infuriating. Thankfuly it seems for the most part people have realized this and trust in A3media is plumeting about as fast as their propaganda is ramping up as social groups fill with actual identified by name spanish experts spitting straight facts against the chink shit.

So. Meme time! First up we got sevilians (Edit: that's cordova, not seville, as the god damned title says, I'm dumb sometimes) that have decided to make their on makeshift procesion to the Lady of the Blind alley to pass the time. And actuslly went the whole way with using proper rites too, the madlads, ejoy!

Second (and last for now as I need to go get shit done, which is also why I ain't translating the rites) we got poor Waldo going through some trying times.

 

[Ponderous Pillock]

did you read the post you quoted?

I mean, it's technically possible that Germany's government is as deliberately bad as the UK ('let them die' - Boris Johnson) at dealing with pandemics, or that their people are as disagreeable and prone to not complying with public health measures as Anglos, the people who inflicted libertarianism on the world, and they're just covering things up.

But I doubt it.

BoJo did not say "let them die" he was preparing people for the sad reality that loved ones will die or do you prefer the Ayatollah's route of singing "Everything is awesome" as the JCB opens up another mass grave and people lick the shrines?

I did read the post, the fact that Germany is so far behind is sketchy as fuck for a nation who's borders don't fucking exist and with god knows how many infection vectors that rolled on in weeks ago. They measure the deaths differently there and I've said this consistenly. Already had an underlying condition? Welp. Wasn't Corona-chan, it was that. Look at the miracle of Germany's healthcare!

Just ignore the box that says "complicating factors."

I wake up, drive to work and realize that the roads is dead, even for an early Sunday.
I arrive at the employee parking lot and notice it's not super packed and there is alot of parking space, but things got super surreal when I realized there was only 3 of us in the bus including the chauffeur.
The airport is getting fucking dead, finally there are little to no flights and almost all the stores are closed.

I honestly don't know. I've heard that they carry the ones that are in normal USA distribution. I have cats so building models is a fool''s errand for me.

Agreed. I used to build one a week till I adopted my first cat.

...he bit the head off the Kimaris Trooper was I was building and ran off with it. Haven't touched a kit in almost 3 years now out of 'trauma'.

Hobby Lobby isn't for geek hobby stuff; it's catady arts and crafts with dried flowers and yarn and shit. So actually if you have cats it might be the place for you.

Media scaremongering shenanigans:

General who would command the US if coronavirus cripples government

Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy is the 'combatant commander' for the United States and would lead the country if Washington were crippled by the current Covid-19 crisis.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Exclusive: Inside the military's top secret plan if coronavirus cripples the government

What if all the Constitutional successors are incapacitated? Standby orders were issued more than three weeks ago to protect Washington and also prepare for the possibility of some form of martial law.

www.newsweek.com

Every single government has procedures in place for continuity of government but I'm beginning to seriously think some of these media outlets need to be called out. People are already anxious over coronavirus (which can kill and no cure exists), now they scare them even more over the possibility of martial law. It's appalling.

I disagree. I think that people should read those carefully, because they contain the blueprint for what will happen if things escalate. The fact that it was published by Newsweek and not Infowars shows just how crazy this timeline we've woken up in is.

And five minutes later, those crackheads sold their sandwiches to buy more crack. Meanwhile, a 90 year old woman had to go hungry because some Commie assmunches stole all of the bread and condiments.

Yes but when those crackheads go to responsibly exercise their Constitutional franchise, as they surely will, these upstanding radicals will have convinced them to vote against Drumpf!

but there’s a case to be made for routine small tissue samples to be archived for all PMs.

Oh God, we've lost containment.

Maggie Thatcher broke out of the lab and is headed up north to finish the job she started.

 

[Evilronald]

How the fuck is free healthcare going to happen if they are suspending all work obligations?
Healthcare workers will subject themselves to a tsunami of sick for free? Lol.

>we don’t die for your economy.
nigga, the economy is dying on behalf of you, and millions of other people.

>free muh prisoners
More vectors for infection, excellent thinking comrade!

Sure is awesome to see people coming together and not trying to take advantage of this crisis... Fuck these people, they want to hold people hostage to get whatever unearned bs they think they deserve.

Never let a good emergency go to waste.

On one hand you have to hand it to them. They realize that the pendulum is swinging back and this disaster is going to pretty much end any chances of Marxism taking hold in the West for the rest of their lives. So of course they're trying to make a power play now, they literally don't have many chances left.

 

[EmuWarsVeteran]

People saying quarantine just been expanded to another 15 days. Twas to be expected to be honest. Hope they did it now if they really did it. Worst thing would be to wait to the last minute before droping the bomb.

Imagine grains of pollen, only hundreds of times smaller. Any acceleration downwards due to its weight is negligible compared to the brownian motion caused when high speed air molecules hit it from all directions. It'll stay in the air, floating like you would in treacle, until it finds a surface to stick to or it gets denatured by UV and chance collisions with oxygen or radicals that can snip bonds.

Well shit that's the first time I've heard of brownian motion since forever! Haven't done the math yet but just wanna say. You need to take into account that this virus needs larger dropplets, brownian motion works best the smaller the droplet is. So this can't really get THAT far.

While I understand the logic that x people more die every day of something else, 400 people spread out around the country is an abstract statistic. I would assume having any significant number of mortalities piling up in one place all at the same time and also massively endangering attending hospital staff is pretty memorable for those taking part.

Yeah, a lot of these people would have died soon anyway of cancer or whatever, but they oncewould have had a chance to pass visited by family and loved ones. Coronachan appears to be a very lonely way to die.

eta stupid stupid spellcheck.

It really is lonely. That's probably the moat fucked up about it. Rant time.

Spoiler: we're all equal to corona-chan

As another poster remarked a Grande of Spain died of Corona. Now. For those that don't know. Spain had a ludicrous amount of low nobility "hidalgos", due to the "right of universal hidalguia", this resulted in the tercios and has defined much of our politics to this day, as nobility meant nothing for many areas, you could find nobles tilling the fields like the rest of them on Navarra, because everyone was technically a noble due to the high deathtoll for non-nobles during the reconquista. I'm not kidding it literally became UNIVERSAL in large segments of the north. Well. "Grande" means "big", or "great", and it was the way the oligarchs, specially after Primo, tried to use to resurrect feudalism on more modern times. Grande just means "high nobility", it's count and above. That's what that means.

The title at this point means little. They tend to be really rich and own lands but there's nothing on paper other than the salary. And most medals get you the salary anyway.

But it does mean another thing. A Grande of Spain gets a royal burial. With a multitude, with reverence, with proper rites for noble burial kept since ancient times.

This procedure isn't sllowed with corona. With corona the protocol stipulates a maximum number of atendants and burials are expedited. And we're all equal to this protocol, no exception can or will be made. We're all equal to corona-chan, goddess of pandolin dick, lady of bat soup and slayer of chinks and boomers.

Seeing a lot of rural people starting to get pissed on Facebook groups.

They're starting to really call suburbanites and city dwellers "bug-people" and "locusts" and "parasites."

Lots of people leaving bigger cities to scour the countryside stores to buy up bread and the like and getting pissy if they're told that they can only have 1 per family or 1 per person. They've tried the "go out to the car and come back" shit and demand to talk to a managed when told no, then threaten to call the cops/lawyer if they're refused by the manager.

Know that a few towns around me are asking the cops to do something to stop these assholes from just descending on local stores like a fucking horde of locusts.

It's breeding a LOT of hatred and disdain toward city dwellers.

Guess eating bugs and living in the pod sounds good when you're consigning the lower class to doing it, but Karen isn't happy having to live in her bugkingdom while others get to go to the grocery store like a human.

On the plus side, hearing more trains. Saw a couple with "NO MED" and "NO FOOD" spraypainted on the cars.

Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria! To be honest, this is a serious overreaction on the part of the city dwellers. The ones outside are right to call them out but may be it a bit too heavy on it. We all got morons. Puting the focus on them and ignoring the good people only breaks society appart.

I

I can confirm this. As a former rural Oregonian I fucking hate portlanders with a passion.

I'mma start agreeing with the ones that say murica needs to add happy pills to its water supply, 'cause y'all need to chill, just, ALL of you. Last time spain was this polarized the africa corps brought out the artillery and got Franco in charge, jebus christ.

Wrong thread for this question, sorry, but has anyone figured out why the media is like this? I feel like I missed something. It's like any news story, water found on mars, virus wipes out humanity, whatever, some journalist sits at home, does zero research or... journalism, and turns it into a blog on white nationalism is a serious threat, we need open borders, and we need communism. I just read that michael chrichton "media churns out speculation because it's cheap" article. I only have 2 guesses. One is that serious news got destroyed because zero research speculation is more profitable and this is the kind of stuff that gets the clicks. (so it's our fault?) Or journalists entered a career that got destroyed by this nonsense and they're pissed at people with real jobs so they dedicate their careers to tearing them down? I keep reading threads around here and other places and I listed to a couple "mad at the internets" and I keep thinking I'm gonna find the answer but I'm still baffled.

Media is ruled by 3 rules:
-be there first
-call in as much attention as possible
-tow the party lines

Science has 3 rules:
-make sure your tests are done properly
-check out all viable alternatives
-tell what the evidence tells you

One is conductive to telling the truth. The other is the direct opposite. Journalism is a plague.

Hospitals run out of PPE. Nurses quit because they can't provide safe care to patients without it.

Then this shit goes into overdrive.

You'd be surprised just how much nurses can go with little to no PPE.

 

[Stoneheart]

Or, is it as I've said repeatedly and you ignore, that the krauts are just lying through their fucking teeth on the deaths to begin with and writing up any old underlying complication as to why people are dying as opposed to the Kung Flu?

that doesnt explain why there are no massiv death waves in the early clusters like they had in Italy and Spain.

I did read the post, the fact that Germany is so far behind is sketchy as fuck for a nation who's borders don't fucking exist and with god knows how many infection vectors that rolled on in weeks ago. They measure the deaths differently there and I've said this consistenly. Already had an underlying condition? Welp. Wasn't Corona-chan, it was that. Look at the miracle of Germany's healthcare!

Its mostly more testing and better following of orders. the infected number looks so high because of all the testing, alot of them are young people with very mild cases. old people in nursing homes are better shielded from getting infected because people follow orders.

 

[Stasi]

Okay, I have to know - is this parody or is this real? Everybody on the twitter thread is debating it. If it's parody then this guy is brilliant - really convincing, nailed the look. But everything about it suggests it's real other than my own incredulity that this person exists. But if KF has taught me anything, it's that there is no limit to people's lack of self-awareness. I think this is real.

If its real then...welcome to the real world? What does this guy think airbnb owe him?

Were people like this saying anything when hotels were bitching about airbnb undercutting them? A lot of businesses and people are getting screwed right now but if you took on too much debt and bought properties to build your little airbnb 'business' you only have yourself to blame.

 

[ducktales4gameboy]

Nothing to add since I've been quarantined for half a week but I just want to say thanks to everyone posting ground reports and actual articles. This single thread has been a better source of truth and debunking than anywhere else I've seen, plus we get good shitposts.

God I hate this shitty virus apocalypse.

Gotta stay positive, really. I think I've spent more time with my family in the last week than I have in the last year, and we actually agreed on something unanimously for once: amazon prime's free movie selection is incredibly shitty.

 

[Logical Fallacies]

You keep pushing this glory to the fucking fatherland bullshit, but don't you find it a wee, teeniest bit suspicious that Germany isn't getting all these deaths despite so many infected?

And if they're not getting all these deaths why are they not sharing this supposed miracle of germanic science with the rest of the world and forcing everyone to pay for the privilege of seeing it in action?

Or, is it as I've said repeatedly and you ignore, that the krauts are just lying through their fucking teeth on the deaths to begin with and writing up any old underlying complication as to why people are dying as opposed to the Kung Flu?

BoJo did not say "let them die" he was preparing people for the sad reality that loved ones will die or do you prefer the Ayatollah's route of singing "Everything is awesome" as the JCB opens up another mass grave and people lick the shrines?

Just ignore the box that says "complicating factors."

I've ignored you until now, but you're getting more and more spastic. Can you back up these "facts" with some evidence?

Yesterday, I listened to the NDR podcast with Christian Drosten, the virologist who discovered SARS and invented the test for it and he said we have a greater discrepancy between dead and infected because we test so much and catch more mild cases. The majority of our cases are between 15 and 39 years old, well under the age group with an elevated risk for becoming severe or dying. Also, we don't test the already dead who don't have a diagnosis.
And JFYI, all people who died from CoVid-19 had pre-existing and underlying conditions and the cause of death is still getting registered as CoVid-19. Don't you think it would have been weird if Germany was the only country in which only people with absolutely no underlying conditions die of CoVid-19?

Now, does this prove the German government never lies? No and that wasn't my intention. These are merely some reasons why we have a huge discrepancy between dead and infected. You can take this or leave this. I don't care.

 

[AtomicAgeBoy]

Finland: 626 confirmed cases. 43 in medical help at hospitals., 12 of those in intensive care.

 

[NevskyProspekt]

I wonder how the Latvians are handling this debacle. Their cultural heritage already leans quite heavily toward social distancing and homesteading to begin with. Riga was the emptiest feeling major city I’ve ever visited. Even the dense medieval old town core was eerily quiet. The architecture was gorgeous, though. Art Nouveau all over the place. Glad the Soviets left those untouched, for the most part.

 

[eternal dog mongler]

Well shit that's the first time I've heard of brownian motion since forever! Haven't done the math yet but just wanna say. You need to take into account that this virus needs larger dropplets, brownian motion works best the smaller the droplet is. So this can't really get THAT far.

The actual viral particle is teeny-tiny.

If it gets aerosolized and you're wearing a mask then it gets trapped in the labyrinth of the fibers. Brownian motion helps. Also Van der Waals.

that's what I've observed, at least in the Pfalz. Especially outside of the cities people normally enjoy getting all up in each others personal space, but the moment they were told to stop that shit, they stopped. and elderly homes are basically NO ACCESS ALLOWED at the moment. Is it really that hard to believe that Germans actually... do the thing they're being told to do, because they care about their neighbors like decent humans?

Going forward, i see the US getting this bad, really bad. Just because the average attitude on display is "fuck you, freedom man! imma do what i want aint gonna let no pandemic get in the way of my fun!" And i say that because I'm American and I sadly fucking know thats exactly how people are.
