Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Not Really Here]

Initially I think they were covering up. But China don't fuck around with corruption - if they think you've lied, or have covered up information that lead to deaths, it's possible you'll get a bullet in your head.

Would an indication of that sort of thing be removal of officials?

Or maybe prosecutions?

Because that already happened.

Cases in New Zealand only continue to increase, as Ardern's boondoggle that she could have avoided simply by excluding carriers drags on.

Police are harassing surfers, of all the people they could target. Clearly, people exercising in a natural disinfectant is a great threat to public health. Doesn't quite sound right, does it? Perhaps keeping out foreigners and actually quarantining disease-carrying New Zealanders would have been smarter than destroying small businesses and harassing people who just want to surf alone?

Meanwhile, while up until a few days ago, horseface Ardern was pretending that community transmission wasn't happening, her government explicitly told the organizers of a conference that was affected by her admission of a coronavirus carrier that they should go ahead with having people that person likely infected spread out throughout the country. Disgusting, but par for the course for horseface.

Coronavirus: Inside the cattle conference cluster of 17 confirmed cases

About 400 delegates went sightseeing, despite an attendee testing postive for Covid-19.

Easy to understand why. The people this will effect? Real New Zealanders, who Ardern couldn't care less about. Rural New Zealanders, who she hates even more. Hell, most of them probably own guns!

Let them die, says the horsefaced cunt.

AM I BEING DETAINED? AM I BEING DETAINED?!

I AM TRAVELING NOT WALKING!

I DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE AUTHORITY OF YOUR SO CALLED 'COURT' UNDER ADMIRALITY FLAG!

OK bro, clearly sovereign citizen nonsense is equivalent to taking advantage of your rights under New Zealand law that have not been affected by this event.

I plan to find a nice spot in a park, or perhaps the beach, to sit and read in the springtime sun. I'll be polite to any police officer challenging me, explaining that I have seen nobody, talked to nobody, and am a threat to nobody. I might even suck up a 30 pound fine for doing so. But I won't be sent back to my home, to suffer under house arrest and breathe the communal air of my housemates (which if any are asymptomatic carriers, is likely to contain a higher viral density than outdoors air), to comply with an irrational and fundamental assault on liberty.

I would suggest reading while walking. It's not hard if you roll along slowly.

Could be worse, here is the land of OZ weve got people sharing facebook posts saying how much they wish Ardern was our PM.

GOOD NEWS!

People who were born poor, grew up poor, breed poor, work poor, live poor ... are pretty resilient as far as ducking and covering is concerned. Poor people generally cope better when the shit hit the fan.

Poor people do not handle self isolation and quarantine or emergencies in general more efficiently than the working class upper middle class and middle-class .

On the subject of how the urban poor will handle the WuFlu, 911 (the American emergency number) calls in Detroit are down 15-20%, and Mayor Mike Duggan estimates actual crime is down even more, despite the fact that one-fifth of his police force is quarantined or self-quarantined.

Nearly A Fifth Of Detroit Police Force In Quarantine For COVID-19 Exposure

Over a hundred are expected back in a matter of days, as the police broadly quarantine anyone working with officers that test positive for coronavirus.

We have extended our lock-down period for two more weeks, until April 12. From March 31, citizens need to be indoors from 7 PM to 5 AM, compared to the 9 PM to 5 AM we have. Supermarkets will be closed on Sundays. Only essential business will remain open and people exempt from the lock-down are those that are essential as well. Also starting from that date, we will be implementing vehicle control. Depending on which number your license plate ends, you can drive your car and only for essential shit.

 

[Shaved Kiwis]

Yes, it makes perfect sense for China, with 1.43 billion people to have less cases than the US, with .33 billion people (admittedly illegal aliens probably bring that up to .37 billion). Especially given the Chinese gave the US government months of warning.

Did you read the article where it is admitted these were random tests they bought from random Chinks? Of course not. As the Czech health minister pointed out, these tests bought from ChinkyChinaman1234 on AliBaba do at least work in some circumstances- unlike, for example, what Trump's CDC produced.

ChinkyChinaman1234 gets the blame when it was the CCP all along. If you're gonna sell faulty tests it makes sense to do it through a middle man.

I used to be into the survival/prepper community back in the early 10s. Became uninterested in it after a while, regret it now that we are suffering a pandemic and economic collapse at the same time.

A question for any medical kiwis. Why not use gas masks? They're reusable, some have the ability to drink water without exposing yourself to open air.

Just completed a short shopping tour.

Still seeing many more people out and about. Saw a person sitting on a park bench. People walking, alone or with family/friends, jogging.

First stop - Walmart. Fair supply of water. Amazingly, got a 24-pack of Dasani water, which wife and stepdaughter like. I almost never drink bottled water. Good supplies of milk, bread, eggs. Didn't have what I needed. In the ice cream/frozen dessert area, largely empty shelves. My favorite Outshine bars were out of stock. Walmart is the only place I can buy them.

Second stop - local Filipino/Indian market. Had what I needed. Also got a few bananas. Seemed to have plenty of stuff.

Observations - for the foreseeable future, one cannot take for granted that any one store will have everything you want. So be prepared. Keep your eyes open. Take some extra money, perhaps drive instead of walk.

Haven't seen so many people on the street walking since last Thursday. In my opinion, it won't be long until people just start blowing off the "shelter-in-place" stuff entirely. Personally, hasn't affected me, since once the walk is done I stay home, just go out for shopping or medical appointments. Am sure it has affected others, though.

Funny how Capitalism is the only system where you can be paid to whine about video games. Because there was a market and people willing to shill out Hipster Welfare.
Under Daddy Stalin, Anita would be popping out babies for the glory of The Motherland or being worked to death in a prison camp.

Maybe we should give communism a chance.

Russia already tried that, but they told "but, but that wasn't real communism" as excuses.
