How badly is Corona-Chan expected to rip through prisons?

Michigan reports first coronavirus case in prison inmate

According to the article, one Michigan prisoner, currently hospitalized, is believed to have contracted the disease in said hospital. He will be kept in isolation once he is discharged from the hospital and returned to prison, until he recovers.

 

[Non-Expert!]

Just from current experience . My heart was working really hard at the beginning, like when youve been for a long run then you stop and it’s still hammering away until it slows. I felt like that for about five days. Still feels like that a bit. palpitations too.
If you get this, you need to rest. I felt like it was really trying to get a grip (I’m still not sure it hasnt tbh) but any exertion felt like I was redlining the heart rate. Really strange feeling, I can imagine that trying to be on your feet and work through it could be a really bad idea. This virus is hard on the system.

See I can't tell if the sledgehammer feeling in my chest that is COVID, advanced pregnancy (lungs feel full at times like balloons) or stimulant medications (ADHD).

This is all freaky. I wish that we could just piss on a stick or swab our own mouths and be done with It.

Going to the ER is something of a death sentence around here, according to my doc. So don't go unless your chances of dying of respiratory failure are higher, if you stay at time, than if you go to the ER.

She didn't put it like that obviously, but shitposting has its freedoms.

 

[MediocreMilt]

Oh, no. Nothing cool like that. Mostly just people flopping on the ground like fish.

It’s a rare complication, but it does seem to be happening to COVID-19 victims. Collapse, seizures, abnormal posturing, the works. Signs of severe brain damage.

Not to go all "It's just a flu, bro" but neurological shit is generally a rare complication of viruses. As in... they see that shit with the flu and it was especially a thing during the Spanish Flu. Most people, even most critical people, won't have any of that.

The coronavirus is hard on the cardiovascular system, and that stress can cause heart attacks. Many of the people passing out were suffering heart attacks.

I have never seen a good source on the passing out videos.

It could be, but remember the key difference between a video of someone suddenly collapsing last August versus someone suddenly collapsing in February:
No one would have bothered to share it in August.

This morning went to hospital "wellness center" to have blood drawn prior to a routine appointment next week.

Not many people there. Employees were wearing gloves, some wearing masks. Receptionist told me the hospital was going to temporarily close the "wellness center" due to lack of volume.

Blood drawn, departed, walked across street to a strip mall. Only store I saw open was Target. They had some toilet paper. Got a pack. Saw some empty shelves. If you wanted hand sanitizer you had to go to Guest Services, see if they had any in stock.


On some other subjects...

I'll take the ChiCom Flu seriously when it inflicts casualties at the same rate the "regular" flu does.

CDC says since 29 Sept 2019 38,000,000 flu illnesses, 390,000 hospitalizations, and 23,000 dead. Divide by 5.75 to get a monthly rate.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm#ILIActivityMap

Live ChiCom virus tracker shows 42,084 cases and 506 dead in the USA since stats were started a few weeks ago.

What's wrong with this picture?

And while we're at it, sure is touching to see all the politicians and bureaucrats shoving "shelter in place" down our throats never fear not getting that next paycheck. So why should they care about the plight of our working-class people? Easy to talk when you need not worry about paying for housing, etc. But I still don't understand why we need to take such draconian measures when the ChiCom Flu isn't causing anything near the casualties that happen here every year from the "regular" flu.

It is very clear to me that the only one in "power" that gives a fuck about American working people is President Trump. He knows how much good that money will bring. He's also acknowledged that the cure can be worse than the disease. Gives some cause for optimism that this lockdown bullshit will end sooner rather than later.

End the lockdowns. Dispense with the fear. America is too great a nation to run so scared.

n all the gloom and doom, and media-driven nihilism, there is actually an array of good news. As many predicted, as testing spreads, and we get a better idea of the actual number and nature of cases, the death rate from coronavirus slowly but also seems to steadily decline. Early estimates from...

Apparently bad enough to release them, At least according to Iran.
Given how large the prison population here is in the USA I wonder if there is a chance of anything like this happening over here.

Iran frees 54,000 prisoners to combat coronavirus

A judiciary spokesman says the inmates were granted furlough after testing negative for Covid-19.

To be honest I think they dodged a bullet with that; Has any city ever actually benefited from the Olympics instead of getting fucked over?

If you dont have a fever or the nasty cough and body aches/heartrate, its likely not coronavirus. Keep in mind you're 40 and in late stage pregnancy, its going to hit you a lot harder then it would a 35 year old, not to mention a 30, 25, ece year old. You're also hyperaware of the situation around you.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is fucked. (archive)
A guy comes back from a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia to his home town, throws a feast for 2000 people, 9 days later becomes the first fatality. Ironic, as despite a lack of qualifications he ran the "village clinic". Lots of other people came back from pilgrimages to Iran as was mentioned in the thread. Now people are freaking out and go into hiding instead of getting tested.

Is Corona Chan the final solution of the mudslime question?

Kate Brown of Oregon just issued a shelter in place order after exceptional individuals swarmed the beaches potentially spreading the virus even more.

Fun fact: That's what ADHD medication can feel like.

Who would have thought that China can't be trusted. What a big surprise...not.

Pelosi's Wu Flu bill is over 1,400 pages long, and take three guesses as to what she and all the other lunatics started jamming into the bill. This is, uh... 99% of this has nothing to do with the pandemic. You're seriously going to pump the brakes on the entire economy for stuff like "corporate board diversity", "conducting risk-limiting audits of results of elections", "early voting" and bailouts for the USPS?

Section 404, Community news papers
Section 706, Green house gases
Part 8, Audits of elections
Section 160001, Collective bargaining for federal employees
Section 704, Airline Carbon Emissions
Section 140001, Debt forgiveness for the Post Office

And that's just what people have dug up so far. Is this really the time for this shit?

Apparently they've shit the bed again.

Senate again fails to advance coronavirus stimulus bill as deal remains elusive

A second attempt to move forward with the massive spending deal failed as Democrats demanded changes to the Republican bill.

www.cbsnews.com

They're still trying to dick measure and grandstand in the middle of a fucking pandemic. It shows in the bills being proposed by both parties.

You'd think they'd focus on, ya know, the American people instead of their own interests?

I hate this country sometimes.

this reeks of an attempt by China to change Google search results.
does no one remember Hong Kong and their 5 demands? I don't think it's an accident that these are named the same thing. it just stinks of SEO manipulation, especially considering the rumors that this stunt may have been staged.

some may call me a conspiracy theorist but I honestly think most of the sjw bullshit we've been seeing over the years has been coming mostly from China to undermine the United States social cohesion and patriotism. and I think it's coming from our universities and Chinese transfer students/professors.

maybe im crazy but it wouldn't be the wildest psy-op out there

Russia and China both had some sort of term for SJWs. "Green Revolution" or somesuch. They intentionally suppress any SJW type movements in their circles of influence, because they know they're damaging.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were intentionally pushing them in the West.

Apparently ChiComs "students" have been involved in SJW activities in the West, so...

If my interpretation of the document is correct, wearing a gas mask or respirator is the best way to avoid the virus, not handwashing.

Why didn't they tell us this earlier?

Edit: still wipe down your mask and wash your hands, it still helps *some*.

Because the billionaires outsourced all our fucking production of masks and respirators to China, who then bought up the limited stock we had via Daigous, shipped them back to China, and shut their production down.

We don't have them. And if we did, the healthcare industry needs them more than us.

Is this really the time for this shit?

A month ago, I frantically emailed Senator Blumenthal, Dr. Redfield, and Secretary Azar, demanding to know if there were plans in place to set up negative-pressure tents, ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and other necessary gear to deal with the inevitable surge of cases.

Now, a month later, the Army Corps of Engineers is planning to convert hotels in New York into hospitals with negative-pressure rooms:

Three weeks ago, I told my friends and family that, by the 22nd of March, National Guard units in my state would be activated.

Trump announced this on exactly the 22nd of March:

Trump activates National Guard in California, New York and Washington state: 'This is a war'

The state governors will retain command of the National Guard, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency will cover all costs of the missions to respond to the virus outbreak, President Trump said during a White House press briefing.

We are running out of time. This partisan bullshit must stop. Pelosi must fuck off. And when I say she must fuck off, I mean someone needs to give her a coloring book, some crayons, and a napkin for her drool.
