Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Not Really Here]

"IF SHE BREATHES, SHE'S A BAIZO!"

WOW, Jeff Holiday has really let himself go.

This won’t be our last plague.

It's sort of interesting how modern liberal society is essentially based on the assumption that plagues and infectious diseases are something we don't need to worry about. Post-1960's sexual license lead to AIDS. Post-2000s open borders lead to this. In each case, it's an example of how changes happened in society on the assumption that disease is something you can just take a pill for but if you promote irresponsible behavior widely and for long enough you'll run into something there is no pill for.

AIDS was a disease that got into the West via open borders and spread because of 'bathhouse culture' aka 'having unprotected sex with as many strangers as you could'. The fact that 'having unprotected sex with as many strangers' was described as a culture by the left and the media is why it persisted. There's something inherently sick about a supposedly free society where criticism of degenerate behavior is suppressed on the grounds it is 'homophobic'. 'Bathhouse culture' would be degenerate regardless of the genders or sexual orientations of the people involved.

This also is very reassuring... xD

So, is this the new game / flex in globalist town ? I guess Nukes are so 1950's in terms of foreign power play...

Look at the protective gear she's wearing. A non-airtight surgical mask and no suit. Compare and contrast with how the CDC do biosafety level four



Full body positive pressure suit and he's double gloved and wearing what looks like a hair net under the suit. When he leaves or enters the hotzone he goes through a chemical shower to decontaminate. It's clear the CDC biosafety level four processes are very well thought out. And the CCP decided they needed their own labs and you can see from the pictures it's all a bit half-assed.

Now you'll say "Greta Gustava, you're just a-logging the CCP. I'm sure they knew what they were doing". Well actually, no, they do not. How do I know that? Well because we've got evidence that SARS was released from a Chinese lab in Beijing not once but twice. The Chinese had the right procedures on paper but it seems they did not follow them in practice.

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-analysis/sars-escaped-beijing-lab-twice-50137

https://web.archive.org/web/2020022...analysis/sars-escaped-beijing-lab-twice-50137

If the US CDC had released deadly viruses not once but twice in the capital city of the country where all the politicians lived it would probably have been closed down.

Nature ran an article on the Wuhan facility with this comment from a US researcher

https://www.nature.com/news/polopoly_fs/1.21487!/menu/main/topColumns/topLeftColumn/pdf/nature.2017.21487.pdf?origin=ppub

https://web.archive.org/web/2020032...tColumn/pdf/nature.2017.21487.pdf?origin=ppub

But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Tim Trevan, founder of CHROME Biosafety and Biosecurity Consulting in Damascus, Maryland, says that an open culture is important to keeping BSL-4 labs safe, and he questions how easy this will be in China, where society emphasizes hierarchy. “Diversity of viewpoint, flat structures where everyone feels free to speak up and openness of information are important,” he says.

Yuan says that he has worked to address this issue with staff. “We tell them the most important thing is that they report what they have or haven’t done,” he says. And the lab’s international collaborations will increase openness. “Transparency is the basis of the lab,” he adds.

Someone should ask Yuan if he thinks what happened to Li Wenliang (Archive) was an example of openness and transparency or the CCP's tendency to cover up small problems causing them to become really big problems. However, if you did he wouldn't be able to answer honestly and not have the CCP's goons come after him.

[It's HK-47]

People are still digging down through Pelosi's bill and finding new bullshit that has nothing whatsoever to do with the outbreak. All of this stuff here is just from the first 700 pages, and since it's all dedicated to shoveling money at Government bodies, that means that literally half of this bill is dedicated to lining their own pockets. They don't even mention the private sector until page 710.

Spoiler: Money to Government Programs

$45 million for agricultural marketing services. (Pg. 4, Line 26)

$33 million for Food safety and inspection programs. (Page 5, Line 7)

$15 million for Minority business development. (Page 13, Line 16)

$32 million to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to fight climate change. (Page 15, Line 10)

$100 million for Programs to prevent violence against women. (Page 16, Line 10)

$25 million for Women's shelters. (Page 16, Line 22)

$100 million for Assisting victims of sexual assault. (Page 17, Line 3)

$25 million for Rural domestic violence programs. (Page 17, Line 6)

$100 million for NASA. (Page 19, Line 5)

$100 million for Research grants in the National Science Foundation. (Page 20, Line 1)

$100 million for the Legal Services Corporation. (Page 21, Line 1)

$200 million for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund Program Account. (Page 38, Line 10)

Homeland Security must suspend compliance with immigration laws if it creates "hardships" for the person in question. (Pg. 61, Line 17)

The Administrative Procedure Act is suspended. (Pg. 62, Line 13)

$453 million to Operation of Indian Programs. (Pg. 64, Line 8 )

$7 million for "Wildland fire management." (Pg. 72, Line 3)

$78,000 to the Institute of American Indian and Alaskan Native Culture. (Pg. 75, Line 5)

$35 million for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Pg. 76, Line 1)

$300 million for grants at the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities. (Pg. 77, Line 1)

$120 million for community service employment for older Americans. (Pg. 81, Line 22)

Once they finally start to talk about the private sector, they start demanding crazy bullshit like this:

One third of the Board of Directors must be chosen by the workers.​

​

Environmental and "social" reports must be submitted each quarter.​

​

Reports on workplace racial and gender demographics must be filed each quarter.​

​

Reports on workforce culture and empowerment programs must be filed each quarter.​

​

Reports on fostering a sense of purpose in the workforce must be filed each quarter.​

​

Minimum wage of $15 an hour.​

​

The CEO cannot be paid more than a ratio of 50 to 1 in relationship to the median worker wage.​

​

Workforce and benefits must be immediately returned to what they were before COVID-19.​

​

The company may not alter any collective-bargaining agreements made before COVID-19.​

The media just admitted an "unexpected second outbreak" in china. Between that and all the leaks here I think china might've completely lost their grip on censorship. Either that or Chen has turn into a Yokai and is punishing the CCP for "disappearing" him.

You'd be surprised how many businesses claim to be essential until they're told they'll be fined into bankruptcy if they keep being idiots.

China is just crafting their narrative. The infections never stopped. But now with 2 weeks of claiming no new ones they can claim the disease is being brought in by foreigners and it's all Americas fault.

Never mind the fact that virtually no Americans are traveling to China and haven't done so for over month.

Honestly, how did humanity even survive up to this point? People eating wild bats and rats, and drinking aquarium cleaner to stop from getting sick. What's next? People without respirators using manned bellows to stay alive?

The idiots like them died off and harsh conditions taught us not to be idiots.

Got my care package today. It's 2 kilos of rice, 1/8 of a pumpkin, and some okra. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. Jesus fucking christ the local officials here I swear to the chaos gods. I guess I'll have to go to the market tomorrow.

I managed to get my nicotine patches. While I was out a got an SMS from the government, sent to everyone with a mobile phone telling them not to leave the house.

Mobile networks send 'stay at home' Covid-19 text

For the first time, UK mobile networks send out a government message with a link to more information.

Mobile networks send 'stay at home' Covid-19 text

For the first time, UK mobile networks send out a government message with a link to more information.

web.archive.org

The BBC, being the BBC, whinge that the government doesn't have the power to message every subscriber like in other more civilized countries and instead has to work with mobile operators.

The government has had to work with the operators to get the message sent because an emergency alert system, trialled seven years ago, was never put into practice.

If it had been, the government could have bypassed the operators and sent messages directly to phone users, as has happened in countries such as South Korea and the Netherlands.

Of course, the downside to such a system would be that the government would have a list of all active mobile phone numbers. As it is the operators have that. And it seems like even without such a system the government can have a quiet word with representatives of the four carriers and get the message to the population in 24 hours.

Also note the way Rory Cellan-Jones, the BBC technology correspondent, wrote an article about this and doesn't seem to realize that there are many MVNOs but only four carriers, and it's the carriers that send the message. All the government needs to do is send a request to EE, O2, Three and Vodafone and every mobile will get it, even if their SIM is from an MVNO because those are the only carriers licensed to run a mobile network. Given the UK is a surveillance state it's reasonable to assume the government has a contact at each of the carriers and that that contact knows when the government tells them to jump the correct response is 'How high?'

 

[Aku]

Netherlands update: 5560 infected, 276 deaths. Recoveries are not listed due to vague conditions as to what recovery entails, and data is still being gathered.

It's uh.... going very fast. The country has a population of 17 million. It's not very much, but we have a decently high population density considering the size. People live very close to each other on average.

People are generally not listening to any advice regarding the virus. People are supposed to stay home if they're sick, and socially distance themselves from others if they're not. A 1.5m distance is recommended (getting a shopping cart is becoming mandatory in many grocery stores), but no one is sticking to it. People are visiting forests, beaches and other nature spots en masse despite the government advising them not to. Roads had to be blocked to keep traffic from reaching beaches, and forest rangers are begging people not to go fuck around in the woods and stay home instead.

No lockdowns or mass quarantine orders so far, but I have a feeling that the freedums won't last long. Government figures are asking people to be considerate of others, but no one is having it. A lot of younger people are celebrating the boomer doomer, and many boomers don't give a shit about the virus either. People are actually going out to visit each other, mingle and party out of spite.

Spoiler: pl

Not me, though. I was sent home and I'm not taking any risks lmfao

I will finaly be able to make grandpa proud by following his footsteps.

I was gonna say wrong country and quote Ze mayor (ah come on, we were friends with ze vatican!) But... yeah gernica was a thing...

Spoiler: another history lesson on why dictatorships suck

Gernica was a small town in spain. Not much is known about what went down but by some kind of astounding bureaucratic fuckup it got marked as abandoned after the civil war. And when the axis made joint exercises with spain they started using the villages that got abandoned after the civil war as target practice for their bombers. Gernica was one such village, difference with the rest being it was still very much so populated, and so without knowing it the German and Italian bombers firebombed the civilian population into nigh anihilation just because some spanish bureaucrat filled the wrong box and no one bothered to check...

Over here they're not making it public but now that turists have mostly gone back home or accepted their fate it seems by the few videos and comments I find that practically everyone ignoring quarantine is a gypsy, north african or black. Outside of the few kek worthy tales of karens and teens.

China is just crafting their narrative. The infections never stopped. But now with 2 weeks of claiming no new ones they can claim the disease is being brought in by foreigners and it's all Americas fault.

If that's what they're hoping to do they're idiots. But it's china so idiocy can never be ruled out.

So got of the phone with the mortgage company, i get 3 months of forbearance and then at the end "we ll" create a plan to get me back on track. hahahahaha. I was already working on how to pay that debt off but this pandemic threw a wrench into the plan. Short of the long of it. I am gonna be a whole lot poorer but I will survive this.

Also a fucking mortgage servicing company is already providing relief whille the fucks in DC cant just give people ether a check or fuck give them some gift cards or vouchers to pay their bills for a month so everyone will just chill and shit.

That first Mayor sure does have a thing for the Chinese - Mao way. But i think he gets his point across with undisciplined youth, looks like they also have huge issues with Zoomer not caring.

Very interesting answers there, the doctor is on a team that advises their government's pandemic response. Seems like they are still taking this stuff very seriously. Someone asked him what he thinks will happen to SK in the future, this is his answer:

It is hard for anyone to predict what will happen in the future in this volatile situation. However, South Korean experts think that if the situation doesn't get better within the month, it will last up to 6 months. If the situation exacerbates within 6 months, it's apparent that this will become a much more difficult scenario than previously imagined. There would be a high chance of economic repercussions of this outbreak. Moreover, the resources of medical personnel may be entirely exhausted in this situation, which would lead to more deaths. In South Korea alone, 300,000 deaths would be a fair prediction from such a scenario.

Reading between the lines, it seems what every government is trying to do is ramp up production of medicines and equipment to deal with this. Once the supply chain is flooded they are gonna open the floodgates and allow everyone to go back to work. Which means all of us gonna get it eventually.
