It's possible for plants to transmit their diseases to humans. Incredibly rare, but possible. Meet pseudomonas aeruginosa. A lovely antibiotic resistant bacteria. It can cause pneumonia, septic shock, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin infections, and soft tissue infections. It gets into the body through open wounds and burns.

It can be caught from contaminated medical equipment.

Must be plants getting revenge. Or it's nature doing what nature does best. Being horrifying.



Bacteria is very very different than Virus though. Bacteria is a wholly self contained organism, somewhat encapsulated and able to function in and feed on a broad range of environments. Viruses are not that.
 
My problem with the preppers are insane fucks buying 600 things of tp and what have you and leaving none for the rest of us. There is preping then there is hoarding then there is being a low information dumbass.


I got no problem with people stocking up and preparing for bad times, but like with everything else morons fuck it up.
The retards buying up all the TP and cleaning out the frozen section now are not preppers.
The preppers where prepared. Thats the whole point of prepping. Being able to bug in or bug out and stay away from the chaos.
 

Bigelow Aerospace lays off entire workforce

Those sources said that the company, based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, was halting operations because of what one person described as a “perfect storm of problems” that included the coronavirus pandemic. On March 20, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed an emergency directive ordering all “nonessential” businesses to close.

Baaaaaaaaloney. Watch them get a bailout.

They'll take a bailout and increase their CEO/Management salaries and stipends.

The Dems are right to add some attachments.
 
lmao over 12% increase in unemployment in Canada by the end of next week. Fucking everyone is laid off because the government said to shut down but there's absolutely no help. They're trying to pass a bill to let themselves act without anyone's approval and it's weeks before anyone sees any cash. Every agency and bank is overloaded so you can't even get through to apply for money if you qualified.

I think situations like this is why Sweden tries to avoid going into shutdown mode. We need people still working and businesses still running in order to prevent societal breakdowns. Lots of people are hooting and hollering and wanting to shut everything down, though because "being unemployed is always better than being dead.:

The attachments added to the original bill negotiated in the Senate, such as no Stock Buy Backs were reasonable and proper. The shit dumped since Pelosi returned from her nice vacay is criminal and treasonous and should face a firing squad.
 

This one is accurate, because Coronavirus indeed couldn't exist if humanity had died out from the complications of long term veganism.

Holy fuck, 11,000 new cases today? We will be shooting right through 100,000 into a Million in just a week.

They're not 'new', they're 'detected'. It's been mentioned multiple times that a sizeable chunk of 'new infections' are just going to be 'existing infections newly discovered' due to the delay in testing.
 
America is first in everything. Everything.

We won't get the Olympics this year, but we're still going to get Gold, damnit.

That might actually happen at this rate.

/sigh

Okay look one more time for the slow kids. The number of tests performed is going up drastically each day. So the "number of infected" is mostly a Bullshit number. It's increasing simply because we have greater capacity to detect what is already there. While it gives some clue to the overall spread, it does not actually reflect in any way a rising crisis. We've always known that testing was only capturing a small number of the actual infected. We also suspect that infected have been out there in the US since at least December. To get an actual idea on how the virus is moving, if things are getting better or worse, and just to get a feel for how bad it is you need to look past that topline number. Ignore the idiots in th emedia. They never dug down into polls in the last three elections, they really are worthless at math or analysis.

To see what is going on watch the following.
- Hospital Admissions
- ICU admissions
- Deaths
- Ratio of Positive to Negative Tests in those tested and total volume of tests performed by locale.

Those are the important numbers. Those will show us the overall movement of the Wu Flu. "New Cases" is useless and only good for sensationalism and driving panic. It's a bad number because we have no Sentinel Testing in place to provide a broad random sampling.
 
It's amazing how certain types of people show their true colors during a crisis. Except these are the people demanding we trust them without question, give them our masks and put them on a pedestal.
Fuck everyone with lupus and RA amirite

Are you absolutely sure you don't want Performing Arts funded with millions of dollars? Don't you want a racial quota on corporate boards? There's no way we can survive this pandemic unless these happen. J/K. Everyone one of Pelosi's propositions were dubious at best and she has the nerve to get up and grandstand about vigilance and sniffing out "poison pills" in legislation. She literally flew coast-to-coast to throw a wrench into the negotiation so the Democrats could use corona as "a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our[Democrats'] vision.” (James Clyburn D-SC) I know the word 'obstruction' is often tossed around a lot, but proposing conditions and requirements in a RESCUE bill that have nothing to do with the issue at hand is overtly obstruction, but the MSM will cover her ass like they always do. To hell with Dems and ANY input they desire from this point on. The last thing the US needed was a delay with something like this.
