Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Not open for further replies.
Totally anecdotal but most of the images I've seen of very sick patients have been mostly, but not all, black/afro-latinos in Brooklyn. Elmhurst in Queens seems to have a lot of Hispanics. I've personally heard of older white boomer age patients who have health issues admitted to hospitals in Manhattan. So from what personally observed it's the poorer (and unhealthy) residents of the outer boroughs overwhelming hospitals like Brookdale and Elmhurst and wealthy but sick and aging whites in places like Lenox Hill and Mt Sinai.

Warren is stupid to even go there because this is just going to confirm your chance of surviving this are better if you're white and live in Manhattan. If you're black/Hispanic and get stuck at Brookdale Hospital you probably are going to die.

The average black in the US is like 31 (vs mid forties for whites) as I recall ... so draw your own conclusions.
 
Everyone told me Orange Man lied, said bad things about our hero nurses and doctors! But then:

Remember this heroic woman, who died because she selflessly let someone else get tested for bat flu:

Turns out two tests ruled out the bat flu. Her doctor wants to believe though

I may be late on this one but...



This is a fucking war isn't it ? All of it.

Can't trust anything you order from China.

Hey, U.S. ! See those masks you outbid from France directly from China ?

You better be testing those masks for any kind of virus.... OR burn them, these chingchongs are smart (or evil) enough to fill 2 box out of 3 with untainted masks to spread it to your hospitals.

I'd rather manufacture ON SITE masks from cloth factories than take any shit China is sending now. Not a joke.

Everyone need to start using in-country production right now.

Especially after this :


and that :


China can't be trusted for shit, for nothing now, it's just an hostile nation to everybody else.

Again why do people like China so much? Why would the WHO cover for China if they barely pay for it? Does the Third World really like China compared to the west?
 
It’s been a while since I got any intel that seemed worthy of reporting on...then this happened.

Spoke to a guy today who identified himself as a member of the national guard (in the Seattle region). He told me his group was activated this morning and that things were going to be changing a lot on Monday. He said the lockdown was going to start being enforced (at least more than it is now), so those who have letters designating themselves as essential will have a chance to use them. He mentioned public transportation would be stopping entirely (as he understood anyway). Lastly he said that they would have the authority to pick up homeless and take them to be tested, and should they be positive...take them to a quarantine facility.

The fun could be ramping up...I guess we’ll see.
 
Also apparently Trump has nothing to discuss today because it's a press conference about the Drug War. Lame.
Are you sure the press just isn't airing "reruns" because they don't like what he has to say today? Wouldn't put it past the bilge rats...

American blacks have very high rates of heart disease and stroke, major co-morbidities in that group.
Vicious lead allergies, too...

Today's first of the month. Off to do the usual bank/haircut/Costco...

How it went.... knew the bank was to open at 10:00. Couldn't wait in the lobby. Finally got in at 10. Was treated like a leper and a criminal because I don't use ATMs. "Why don't you use ATMs?" "Because I don't trust machines." "What will you do if the bank closes?" "Write my wife a check and she can get me money at her (competing) bank." Wife uses ATMs. I don't. Only go to this bank once a month anyway. Finally got my money and got the fuck out. Not a real happy camper. Been using this bank 25 years.

Went to the nearby Navy base. Guard asked me if I was sick, been overseas in the last 14 days, etc. "Nope". First filled car at gas station - $1.99/gallon. Just off base is a usually busy gas station with the lowest civilian prices around. They charged $3.07/gallon.

Noticed car needed new windshield wiper blades. Went inside the mini-store, looked at wiper blades. Only had Rain-X Latitude wiper blades, which are total shit. Bought a gallon of windshield washer fluid and a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer for stepdaughter, once someone came to the counter from the adjacent main store to sell me the stuff.

Checked out base barber shop. Closed. Sign said all barber shops on Navy bases closed until further notice, except for recruit training bases.

Then to Costco. Now they are limiting the number of people in the store at a time. Waited about ten minutes to get in. Guy at entrance said seniors could come shop at 8:00. Am usually out walking at that time.

Got everything I needed. Found a pack of two 4-packs of Spam. Haven't seen Spam in the commissary for several weeks. This should last wife/stepdaughter a while. Saw 25-pound sacks of rice available. Water was available. Milk and bread good. Found Michelin wiper blades for $6 each. They are good, better than Rain-X. Made in Vietnam, not China. Finally, lo and behold, got a Costco cherry pie, just when I thought there wouldn't be any this year.

Got in checkout line, at the regulation six feet apart. "Stand on the yellow line!" I heard an employee say to a customer in another line. Nice to know we pay to be treated like that. Another employee came, scanned my stuff. Got to checkstand, card scanned, paid for stuff. On the way out noticed receipt checkers now behind plexiglass. You pass receipt through a slot at the bottom. Had receipt checked and left.

Got home, put stuff away, installed new wiper blades, checked for proper attachment. Was surprised to see original blades lasted less than two years, especially since car normally parked under cover.

One of our neighbors is a hairdresser, presently out of work. Having her cut my hair tomorrow. Nice lady.

Think I may go over to Walmart and see if my Outshine bars are available.

I'm way past tired of all this shit. I'm way, way past tired of hearing "We're all in this together!" Bullshit. As always, it's "us", who have to put up with all these orders, restrictions, etc, and "them", who shove their orders and restrictions up our collective ass.

There are a bunch of Jooz dying. It ain't just the blacks and Hispanics.


They seem to have trouble obeying the same rules that everybody else has to follow.

Apparently G-d grants real estate deeds in the Middle East, and he also has a different set of rules for the most Chosen of the Chosen.

New York has some compliance issues with the Hasidim.

Every time you think China can't make themselves look any more like a bunch of fools, there they go again. In private, Xi must be chewing the carpets. Not only has he and China lost more face than a plastic surgeon, nearly the entire rest of the world's utterly disgusted with China. Gotta work pretty hard to have that happen.
 
Anybody else noticed that they keep changing the name of it?

Wuhan Flu
Coronavirus
COVID-19
??????? <- any bets on the next name?

Guessing this is something with the CCP trying to obfuscate shit.
