Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[MrBlueSocks]

I think this britbong meme won't need translation.

I wonder if that's organic, created because he just wanted to, or if it's a paid for meme sponsored by the government.
There's lots of cutesy hand drawn rainbows in windows at the moment to 'support the NHS' . DOn't suppose that sprang out of nowhere.

I'm just going to slowly and quietly point at Iran for no reason whatsoever.

Not terribly important, but Iran isn't some dusty hot desert just because it's in the middle east. It gets pretty cold in winter and has a variety of climates.

Of course, I have no idea what Cali is like right now, so you might be right to compare them.

I feel like there should be a comet, hanging heavy in the sky, spewing sulf’rus miasmas and heralding our doom.
Charles will probably recommend homeopathy. God help us all.

Et VOILA: https://archive.li/mkB7N

Plagues, locusts, war, comets of doom. Cats and dogs sleeping together.
I wonder what the trigger point would be for me to reconsider my default English atheism? Seven headed beasts strutting up the beach? Seriously though, will this crisis give a boost to church attendance figures?

Who the hell would LARP to such an extent that they would make fake recorded testimony about these events?

wow imagine having to walk all the way over to your computer's built-in microphone and talk at it
that's way too impossible

 

[Allanon]

I've seen the symptoms timeline all over, but do we have a consensus yet on exactly how long it takes from initial exposure for someone to become infectious before symptoms manifest?

The consensus is "what frightens you into listening to us?" Does a 5 day silent infection period frighten you? Good, scientists have found that! 14? Good, studies have found that! 30? Give it a little time, they're still working on adding every single symptom possible so that no matter what you feel like, you probably have the wuflu and no matter what you're scared of you'll probably experience it because of it.

BoJo is on lung ventilation support

Most vent cases result in death

Do you have a source for this? Plenty of news sources reporting he's in hospital, none reporting he's on a ventilator. The line is that it's an abundance of caution case, procedural due to his symptoms not having cleared up 10 days after testing positive.

 

[2021Murder]

This is a older post, but I would like to suggest the environment is on California's side as well. SoCal is a desert area, so a dry, hot area would not be conducive to a virus spreading.

Just like how Spain has almost no cases! And neither does Iran!

Yes. I thought the same thing, too. I don't follow QAnon shit because it's just too schizo even for me.

But then, there's still the matter of that audio.

Who the hell would LARP to such an extent that they would make fake recorded testimony about these events?

There are two possibilities, here. Either the claims are real, or that audio consists of voice actors who are LARPing. Both are equally outrageous.

Fucking hell, is kiwifarms known for being people's first forums? Metokur, EDF, busystreet tons of people would record themselves saying crazy shit. Hell when vocaroo first came out 4chan went nuts recording proofs of every creepypasta. Hell by your logic, somehow there's an episode of Bob's Burgers where Louise just gets gangbanged for a solid 10 minutes. (Or maybe just the voice actress recorded herself )

Also somehow its always 2nd hand and its just them. I know for a fact if my mom or girlfriend saw some pedoshit. They would be telling more than just me; they would be telling 100 friends, dming a dozen different podcasters and then telling their congressional representatives.

To be completely fair, Pedo Island, the vacation destination of many many celebrities, politicians, etc is way more far-fetched than underground facilities and tunnels storing trafficked children, but the Epstein shit happened 100%. I don't understand what's so unbelievable about the idea of tunnels. Don't any of you guys know what subway trains are, how long they've been a thing and how widespread they are? I don't know about any of the other stuff and I'm not saying the tunnel shit is for sure a thing, but really, the basic premise is really not that weird compared to some other shit we've seen.

As an added note, can confirm that the kid with the fat-pack is in a military hospital (not on a hospital ship) and is being escorted by two airmen. I'd like to remind everyone that airmen are currently being forbidden from using PPE in their own hospital unless they're a doc or tech who's working an official session of some kind with a patient. The lack of masks on those airmen means nothing currently, aside from how much the brass need to get taken down a peg or two.

Making tunnels is such a hassle that it costs billions to do; the subway tunnels themselves were built using near-slave labor and took decades. You cant build fucking anywhere without someone catching wind of it and demanding a handout.

Meanwhile islands just exist, private islands have been a thing for half a millennium, it doesnt take a lot of time to make a helipad and building houses and roads is easy enough that you can get illiterate spics to do it. Hell amish build farm houses in a day for fun.

Theres also the whole park rangers are paid shit and none of them ever found anything or took photos. And the other point of national parks being concentrated on the west coast and everyone west of the Mississippi being good goys while its the governor of Michigan and NYC going full sperg and outside of central park i dont know of any national parks in either place. If there was a huge child cult being taken out. Im sure the governor of California who has been in the government since the early 90s, would be freaking the fuck out going full Ripper against the US government, and if not him, maybe the millions of meth heads that hang out around the California parks like joshia tree or yellowstone. We would be getting the same amount of footage as we saw of China during its Wuhan lockdown. Tons of videos of fuckers being dragged into cages and shit like that.

Also the idea of constructing an entire tunnel system under central park when the tools for boring are the loudest fucking things on the planet is bizarre. It would be like trying to shoot a gun in a church on a weekday, literally everyone would know and find out rather quickly.


As for BoJo in the hospital, are you all really telling me not one person on the hospital staff would be snapping a photo of some report or file if it turned out he was on a ventilator. The jailtime would be worth it to a lot of the looney labor members. Also the fact that whatever court they use would be anti-pm in the first place probably helps too.

 

[Cat Menagerie]

I'm just going to slowly and quietly point at Iran for no reason whatsoever.

It's really humidity that's supposed to help, but I'm looking at Brazil and backing away slowly as well.

With regards to tigers, that's not a surprise. Cats were known to get SARS 1.0 but only mild symptoms or asymptomatic as they weren't an ideal host, and they didn't pass it on to humans.

 

[Gustav Schuchardt]

I hope the guy pulls through. If he's on a ventilator though ...

Yeah, it's not good. He's 55 and probably obese. If you look at the stats he's not by any means guaranteed to survive. I hope he does though...

I guess on the upside if you're PM you're getting the high-quality medical care, not the average sort and that's good because the average sort in the UK means you're odds of survival are not very good.

I wonder what the trigger point would be for me to reconsider my default English atheism? Seven headed beasts strutting up the beach? Seriously though, will this crisis give a boost to church attendance figures?

With a bit of luck, yes. I'm not religious myself but I liked the religiosity I saw in the US.

I can't find any source as of now. But he OP might have an inside line. I can't imagine tey'd broadcast this until they have to.

New Zealand cases now over 1,000. Despite the lack of testing, cases continue to increase steadily, 82 cases being added yesterday. Aunty Jacinda is claiming that the fact that the Ministry of Health is too incompetent to test widely or identify the origin of cases (leaving their cause of infection 'unknown') means that community transmission isn't happening.

Likewise, they are touting the fact that Google's stalking software shows that people are leaving the house less as a success. But not, of course, actually looking at known carriers and those who have returned from overseas and making sure that they don't wander around infecting people- the sort of thing that would have prevented this lockdown from being necessary in the first place. Infected people with New Zealand citizenship (very easy to get) are still allowed to return from overseas and start infecting more people.

Meanwhile, horse face continues to crack down on any forms of recreation that decent working New Zealanders enjoy. Not only hunting, and surfing, but even fishing alone off the beach or a pier is banned.

Covid 19 coronavirus: Seven new lockdown rules as cases set to hit 1000

Director-General of Health says Covid-19 cases 'may well' be peaking.

I recommend anyone interested in the ongoing situation check out the timeline of Steven McIntyre, @ClimateAudit on Twitter. He's no public health expert but a smart guy with a very solid grounding in statistics (I believe he worked in resource geology) who exposed some very bad statistics on the part of some celebrity climate scientists. He's been reading a lot and looking at the stats and exposes a lot of dumb misconceptions of data that people are falling prey to. He's also talking about what it will take to actually start controlling spread.

This is the funniest one from the last week in my opinion. The incompetence of these people at the CDC and similar organizations and their political bosses (who are the real culprits) reeks of Jacinda's 'community transmission? what community transmission' nonsense that she's still pushing even now. It's like Australia and the US were pretending that community transmission could happen in China to Chinese people but not in Australia to 'Chinese-Australians' or 'Australian-Australians' for.. absolutely no reason at all.

Stephen McIntyre on Twitter

“interesting. as of Jan 27, China was warning western health authorities of asymptomatic transmission. Australian "expert panels" were dubious. CDC in US appears to have been similarly dubious, as it denied spread in community in US until Feb 29. https://t.co/9tE4ZVFZC9”

twitter.com

Basically, ignore CDC figures for non-Covid deaths.

Still no real contact tracing or quarantine across Anglo countries. Sad!

I somehow got shingles when I was 11, even though I was vaccinated. Damn near killed me. I still can't comfortably lie on my left side because of how painful it was.

unrelated to that, contract's up in 2 weeks, so I thought I'd order in some materials for some home improvement. Tried to rder sand. No fucker has any. The entire country has a two week waiting line and most of the builders merchants are just plain out of it. What motherfucker hoards sand?

1. Since you developed shingles despite immunity to Chicken pox, you might have some kind of immunity problem. Talk to your doctor or just act like you do, and take a lot of precautions.

2. Who hoards sand? Maybe Arabs. Since everybody has to shelter at home, maybe Arabs are buying up all the sand so that they can landscape their gardens with it to feel more comfortable,

as far as I'm aware from a doc I've worked with it's relatively normal to get shingles even if you had chicken pox and doesn't point to any underlying condition beyond "it's been a while since you had chicken pox and/or this is a marginally different enough strain of it"

I know most people outside the US think all religion inside the US is as cringy as this, but damned if it isn't the most entertaining thing ever. (And who knows, maybe God will listen and humor the guy.)

The source of that was from this video:

Only 20 patients currently being treated on USNS Comfort in NYC

Only 20 patients were being treated Thursday on the USNS Comfort hospital ship that docked in the New York harbor earlier this week to aid in the coronavirus fight.

Timestamp 1:25. Right there. Radio operator with full body armor on under his parka.



I don't know. It could be nothing.

Yeah, but what's with the unprotected guys in BDUs escorting the patient? Let's be logical, here.

Look at them. The guys in uniform. They're not wearing masks.

Would you want to be that close to a COVID-19 patient without a mask of any kind?

There's more of this stuff, too:

Spoiler: Someone moving boxes full of diapers into tent being used as storeroom; could be for young COVID-19 patients, but most COVID patients are older

Spoiler: Cribs and undersized beds in field hospital

Spoiler: Incubators on the Mercy? Needs more proof of image source, that photo could have come from anywhere

Spoiler: Long thread aggregating whistleblower claims; nurses say they are treating malnourished children, not COVID-19 patients

That Twitter thread from the OP:

ColoradoWinds on Twitter

“MARK THE DATE. Spoke with my sister who's a nurse in TX. She's starting to see a lot of kids show up in the hospital. Not from virus. It seems kids are being rescued in large numbers now. Some in bad shape but will recover physically. Connect the dots yourself, it's gruesome.”

twitter.com

http://archive.li/yFlha

Look, I'm not saying any of this is true.

I'm just going to keep an eye on it and save copies of everything, just in case. Because of the incessant nature of these claims, this is something that should be monitored.

-Here we use face masks and goggles but due to PPE shortages I have seen nurses handle corona cases on that same getup. Fuck, I've handled a corona patient IN MY FUCKING STREET CLOTHES WITHOUT EVEN A MASK yesterday because of a bureaucratic fuckup. Then again maybe I would've thought more about it if I hadn't passed what seems like corona before. But point is, when a bureaucratic fuckup happens and you're stuck there with something that needs fixing NOW you don't care about PPE that much. Even if in my case I was just there to fill god damned paperwork. Which btw I had to redo due to protocol (not gonna pass on possibly infected papers to directive. Even if I'm starting to think they deserve it.) But yeah. Emergency hits, you need to send someone to ICU asap, you go get a showet and pray afterwards, welcome to healthcare, optimism and sheer unbridled resignation go a long way in keeping this together.

That being said. It could also just be something else. There's more reasons to be in the hospital than just corona. But even if it was corona it doesn't even qualify as that weird.

-or it could just be for babies. They don't only treat corona patients.

-babies and kids get sick too. Over here we're just stucking the kids on normal beds but if you have kid beds nothing wrong with using them.

-incubators are used to take care of newborns in many situations. Not just birth. Specially when they're sick. They're needed to keep the body warm under strained conditions. They're also used for small pets.

-Stop the presses! Anonymous whistleblowers cobfirm interner conspiracies according to those pushing them!!!! Zomg! Jesus christ the depths of lunacy at display here. Again. Diarrhea, it happens, and it drives kids to malnutrition quite easily. It needs to be taken care of too. And covid can cause it. But many other things can too. Like eating rotten food. Which I'm fairly sure many of the hoarders did after buying all the perishables.

Chill mate. It's not some cazy conspiracy shit. This is all normal.

 

[Non-Expert!]

Mum called me "you have a shot scar on your left arm right? Good." Needles to say I was confused. Apparently an old tuberculosis vaccine is somehow helping against coronavirus, seemingly helping the immune system fight non TB respiratory illnesses. The vaccine was mandatory across the USSR and still is across the former Soviet countries. Apparently a lot of former Soviet bloc countries are showing lower instances of corona deaths than some other places.

No real research or study results so far and its mostly conjecture and anecdotal evidence but interesting reading.

That pock-depression scar on your bicep is an old smallpox vaccine. Not TB.

In areas that declared smallpox eradicated (like the US), they stopped vaccinating for it before 1980. If you are sporting a scar, that is a dead giveaway that you are either an immigrant, or in your mid-forties already.

It’s not the difficulty of it. Hell, someone could just pull the recorder app up on their phone and start recording. No walking required. Easy as pie.

Rather, it is the sheer audacity of it.

If it is a LARP, it’s a pretty depraved one.

Think about this for a moment. As we speak, there are threads on /pol/ and /bant/ with hundreds of posts of people claiming that the US Military is going underground and clearing out deep state child sex slave breeding farms in New York and Texas.

Their claimed evidence is seismic activity in the vicinity of alleged DUMBs, whistleblower testimony of children being treated for malnutrition, and photos of apparent non-COVID patients being escorted by men in BDUs.

Regardless of whether or not any of this is real or whether the people making these threads are retarded, this is a thing that’s actually being repeated on 4chan right now.

Now, I know most happenings are bullshit. Like 99.9% of them. Remember that Space Needle bombing nonsense where Anons thought Seattle was going to get nuked? Didn’t happen. However, so far, this COVID business has been a pretty major happening. The virus aside, just look at the markets and the geopolitical impact. China is a laughingstock. World leaders are furious, and they’re falling ill with this virus. Petroleum is piling up. I’m seeing $1.90 gas prices at the pump. Multi-trillion-dollar cash injections are being used to try and prop the markets up. This is already the happening of the decade.

9/11 was small beans next to this pandemic, just in financial terms alone. 9/11 wiped out a trillion dollars in value, in the markets. COVID-19 has wiped out sixteen trillion dollars in value. Regardless of anything else, that’s a happening in itself. One of biblical magnitude.

Nobody is hoarding the sand. It's being used in sandbags to hold up all these tent hospitals that are going up. They're oversandbagging to account for wind uplift on the tents.
