Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[eternal dog mongler]

I don't know, but qRT-PCR would have been the first one created and the one most readily available. Antigen-based tests are much a more recent invention.

I only have info from Quest who is using the same rt-pcr test the CDC uses. Spec is extremely high. No info on sens. They just blame the providers. Durr you should have gotten a bronchoalveolar lavage sample.

 

[It's HK-47]

Yep, here comes the spin. "Here's how the experts were so wrong that they were actually right. That's a good thing!"

Nah, the IHME models factored in Social Distancing and every single time they try to revise their estimates the numbers go down further and further. Your IHME model was dogshit. Everything you people push is dogshit. If you told me the sky was blue I'd go outside and check.

Interesting. I felt crappy for a couple days back in early February, took one day off to rest, and then felt fine and went back to work, and the next day I woke up horribly sick and had to take the next four or five days off to sleep. No idea if it was Corona, but the symptoms fit. My boss got it too, the exact same way. I wonder if there's any pattern to the relapses...

Same for the little one and I in SoCal. Back in February we both had a minor fever and general shittyness for a week. I did keep going to work (yaaa self employed) but none of my customers are dying of WuFlu so... who knows.

So Kiwi brothers stay safe and we will be able to ride this out in a few weeks.

In a time like this how DARE you misgender some of us.

The vaccine trial in the US seems fairly promising. Basically it's just injecting people with the SARS-nCoV-2 spike glycoprotein (which is fairly stable and does not mutate) so they make antibodies that can recognize it.

Should work.

That should work, I just worry WHO will stand in the way.
Some "experts" will shit all over it for political reasons.

 

[Overly Serious]

It's fine, it's more creative ways that we can punish people. Like how the Blimp of Heanor has now been sacked from her legal firm and her political career is in ruins.

I wonder if anyone knows who "Awful Death Girl" is and whether anyone has reached out to her for comment now that her wish could actually come true.

According to ABC News (US) Trump was told about the WuFlu outbreak in November before Beijing knew-

WHY IS A THREAD ON A LOLCOW BOARD MORE ACCURATE THAN MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR NEWS ORGANIZATIONS?

Because professionals have standards.

They will. And will also endorse whatever toxic pile of putrid filth the chinese bugmen try to push through. They're commie shits they won't care who dies injecting their poison. Defunding isn't enough, we should go get bodybags for them.

Frankly even if there were some intelligence about it, it's unlikely to be actionable intelligence. I mean what do they imagine happening? "Mr. President, we have a rumour that there could be a SARS like illness in a region of China. We don't know how harmful it is or how fast it spreads or by what vectors. But we're 80% sure the Chinese are 60% sure they have a new illness". "Quick - shut down all trade with China through executive order and incarcerate US citizens returning from abroad!"

That's my main problem with all of this.

If things get worse, it means we have to take stricter measures because the 'experts' are right.

If things don't get worse, it means OBVIOUSLY those already strict measures were the answer because the 'experts' were right.

There won't be any option of maybe it was a bit overblown or that maybe models were flawed and we shouldn't shut down entire states because it's trying to prove a negative. Prove that total shutdown didn't help.

I can't wait for future flu seasons. People let this genie out of the bottle, can't wait to see where it goes.

Is there anywhere to find an inside perspective of the WHO like it seems a good time for teddy to voluntarily step down as a sign that things were mis-handled, etc. Or will he double down, or even better yet turn on China, to save himself. Just imagine if he says China gave them bad information etc.

The last thing Tedros Adhominem wants is to be sent back to the shithole that is Ethiopia to bullseye ibex with Mungo and get his dick sucked by syphilitic locals.

Edit to avoid a double post:

A guy decided to smuggle 625 pieces of game cartridges! Among them was "Animal Crossing" which saw its value multiplied ($79.99 Abobucks, over $200 in China).
Zhuhai customs caught this guy. 6th of April, he bundled the games on his body and got intercepted.
Games include "Animal Crossing", "Zelda (presumably Breathe of the Wild, because the other ones suck dick

Motherfucker do you want to die? Because I'll get to you before Coronachan does. Breath of the Wild is good but it is second-tier Zelda at best.

We can be sure of two things, Tedros sucks so much CCP cock that his mouth is permanently stained yellow and that Breath of the Wild is no Ocarina of Time, but at least it's better than Spirit Tracks.

Stories of Chinese discriminating foreigners due to virus start to leak into the Russian-speaking Twitter and other social networks.
Here's the thread (in Russian and little bits in English) on how laowais are chased out of stores, denied service and housing and so on:

小艾 on Twitter

“‼️Итак, тред на тему того, как сейчас в Китае относятся к иностранцам‼️А точнее, дискриминируют. Помогите распространить, пожалуйста, ситуация становится абсурдной и мы не знаем, что делать. Тред будет пополняться по мере появления новых случаев, о которых я услышу.”

twitter.com

Notably, neither China's government, nor embassies of respective countries don't do anything about it.

One of my acquaintances, who went to China back in the fall of 2019 and was something of a pro-government, pro-China shill, posted a story on how on March 20th they were ousted of a hotel where she and her partner stayed. Then, after unsuccesfully trying to book something else, they were redirected by a Chinese hotel manager to a "hotel just for foreigners". When they arrived, they found a group of 10-15 police officers and 10-15 people in the army-like uniforms (not sure about that part, she compared them to Russian OMON or National Guard, but only by appearance) waiting inside and filling paperwork. So they got out of there and spent a night at McDonald's.

I expect something really creepy and out of left field to happen on Easter this year. It wouldn't be Jebus coming back.

So let's suppose that Trump took these "rumors" in November seriously. Here's what would've happened:

- Trump gets repeatedly shit on by the media for overreacting to rumors
- He gets called a nasty racist for discriminating against those innocent Chinese
- China REEEEs
- The world wonders what's up America's ass
- Economy takes a bit of a hit due to uncertain speculation
- Supply chain issues due to China producing a good deal of shit (both figuratively and literally) that flood our markets

He couldn't win to begin with. Meanwhile if Hillary was doing the same things (and she probably would), she'd be getting her cock sucked by that same media for her "swift and decisive actions to save American lives".

They didn't mention that this student had a gun lodged to the back of his head during this interview. If he failed, he'd be joining Chen Quishi in an unmarked mass grave somewhere.

And today on interesting things that will make you laugh and make my blood boil. The Ibex.

Interesting first. Fun fact. Spain has a project to bring back the pyrinean Ibex from extinction. No, not THREAT of extinction. TOTAL EXTINCTION. Through cloning the project even got an individual that was almost viable but died after a few minutes due to lung defects. Which means the pyrinean Ibex is officialy the first species to come back from TOTAL extinction, albeit for merely a few minutes. Dr. Fucking Frankenstein would be proud.

You might ask why I'm telling you this. Well. Funny first. Cells of pyrinean Ibex are still well preserved and ready for next round, project never ended it was merely delayed... And corona put it on hold. So yet again best girl corona killstealing like a pro, now even the fucking goats that went extinct years ago are on her list, bitches! Jfc is there nothing she won't take credit for? CoD players got a thing or two to learn from chinkivirus waifu over here! Jokes aside it can and will be restarded when this is over. But after reading your comment I remembered the project and decided to ask a professor that I knew would be up to date with that and he confirmed it's on hold, couldn't help but kek. Nest corona's gonna killsteal the god damned wooly mammoth while she's at it.

And now to the blood boiling part. If you know Spain, you'll know we take our ecology really fucking seriously. Almost 30% of our territory is protected for ecological reasons and if anything we're planning to expand the number. Final objective is to have every fucking province monitor their biodiversity like hawks. Hell, we're literally the topmost country for the European Natura 2000 protocol. As I said we take our biomedical and biotechnological sciences really fucking seriously over here, and have extremely varied climates leading to impressive ecological diversity, on top of how culturaly important Doñana is for us, so even amongst right wing hunters, they know damned well hunting species on the list is a massive no-no.

So you can imagine just how fervently my blood boils when I look down south at africa and see this shit. Africa is filled to the fucking brim with wild species that would make your average biologist have a fucking orgasm. They could, if they implemented a proper base, syphon so much fucking money for biological research of all kind out of the rest of the world. If they just gave us a god damned call any of our universities would be glad to send there a buncha teams to make a god damned preservation center to ensure the Pangolin or their version of the Ibex, much like our Lynx, come back from the brink of death. But instead most of them give zero shits and even the ones that do are filled with god damned poachers. The biggest threat to our Iberian Ibex subspecied is Scabies and desertification. The biggest threat to theirs is bullets. I will never understand such callousness, specially with things as important as biodiversity. That shit's not just muh greta thumpburg shit, man, it's important. Fuck climate change is also important but it should be fought with biotech, like humans always overcame their issues, through technlogy, not fucking treehuggers and bullshit while china fills our atmosphere with shit. That aside aside. Point is. Fuck poachers. That's all.
