Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Not open for further replies.
Closing data from yesterday finally came in. Spike in deaths to 619, which is still not that big comparatively, specially taking into accpunt how many are being added because they weren't counted by certain autonomies, I already told you of that particular fuckup. Cases still down and recoveries still up, so all in all a very positive day despite the right wing screeching.

The right wing btw is completely loosing the plot and fragmenting. The PP through the andalusian junta tried to ban people criticizing their handling of the SAS in response to our persecution of directives. Of fucking course since rajoi's gag law was overturned this is now illegal, so it just got leaked and got province sindicated to go after their neck. The PP, knowing what was coming, just buried their head on the sand and tried not to add fuel, but as I explained their VOX allies are both new to this and fiercelly fucking proud of themselves. So of course they would not tollerate such a stain as anything the right wing did being called UNCONSTITUTIONAL, after all they are the "constitutionalists"! So of course they tried to pull THE EXACT SAME FUCKING STUNT as the directives and claim it was the ministerial PSOE sending the order. But shock of all shocks, it was also obvious bullshit, and the evidence was in our favor. So the PP, after prompting by Ciudadanos (the other right wing party), kicked Vox to the curve, blamed them for everything and joined in on the lynch, which of course was immediatelly called out by the unions because it was the PP's signatures on the doc, not Vox's. So now social media down south is a fucking free for all, and the right lies bent, broken, divided and assfucked. "The side of unity" HAH! How was that saying? Divided we fall? Seems the PP didn't get that memmo. And to think all this dumpsterfire started because I some cleaner asked me what the fuck we were planning on doing with the roomfull of boxes filled with trash and I responded "wait what?"
 
This is where so many of these politicians lacking all semblance of nuance should take into consideration the legal doctrine of "reasonable accommodation". The Government has a major overriding public interest (not spreading a plague) that has run into a constitutional right. Two in fact. The right of assembly and religion. Rather then just flat out banning both of them, the mayor should have done something like order "Okay, I can't stop you from doing this, but I can require you all to wear masks and have someone checking temperatures at the door". And then fine them if they don't do THAT. He's not banning the gathering or the worship, he's addressing the underlying public interest instead and requiring reasonable accommodation.

But I suppose thats much harder to think through over "IMMA SEND MY JACKBOOTS TO ROUND YOU ALL UP!".


And this is why the pushbacks will only increase. People are going to sue, get injunctions, etc., or just do as they please. This has been an object lesson for everyone as to just what "they" think of "us". We're just animals to them, supposed to be subservient to their every whim. No. Done rationally, quarantines make sense. Putting entire states on house arrest is counterproductive at best and criminal at worst.


Nevertheless, I wish everyone a Happy Easter.

>Infects themselves with their own Holocough.
>Refuses to tell anyone about it.
>Refuses to close wet markets.
>Refuses to stop eating bats
>Bans black people


... Wait, I think I missed a step somewhere. What?

The way how the CCP now blames this on foreigners is just... it genuinely gets me mad. Can we please plaster these news around any left-leaning hugspace, so they realize what kind of scum they protect, when they whine about someone calling it the Wu Flu?
 
Could be. I'm also imagining a change to the TOS of using the Apple or Android OS on your phone that makes this mandatory, and bricks your phone if you refuse. Getting a burner if this happens.

I wonder what the percentage is of the adult pop in the US who has an Iphone or Droid. Its gotta be near 80%. Add to that the poors with Obamaphones, since the govt could easily mandate the app on those as well.
Ya I don't think that idiot they interviewed from WIRED or whatever has any clue. I don't think this will be a "APP" but built in to the OS. This is a collaborative thing between Apple and Google. There is zero need to use a 3rd party app.
It also looks like it will use Bluetooth rather then normal location services to see if your in range of someone with the E-coof.

This can still be used to track people. If you go to the park and some dumb boomer there actually has location services turned on and his phone pings your phone over BT then they know you are also at that park.

If you must have a smartphone and want to keep the os up to date then just set the E-coof flag to positive. Once their phones starts telling them every day to self isolate because they bumped in to someone with the coof then maybe they will start to question their blind faith in tech.

Have had a burner flip phone for years. Works just fine for the little I need. Always turned off unless I need to call.
 
In the U.S. most states don't seem to be keeping good track of how many recovered cases there are, so I assume the official stats are way off and the number is much higher.

I think it will be a long while yet until we get a better idea of how many people had this and recovered at home.

There will also be people who died at home and were missed, but I think that will be vastly outweighed by those who recovered and didn't get counted.

Ah yes, that "right-wing stunt" where a fact exists and we don't like it because the "wrong people" were right. Even when they admit that the WHO fucked up, they still have to try and frame it as a "vast, right-wing conspiracy" because they're psychotic idiots who think that the rest of us are as brainless as their hyper-moderated Twitter circle that banned everyone to the Right of Lenin 4 years ago using every blocklist on the planet.

Before I get into the consequential misleading, let me lay out a larger reason that I think fellow global governance fans should consider getting on the investigate-WHO bandwagon.

Institutions of international governance, like institutions of national governance, are prone to a particular form of corruption: they’re inclined to serve powerful interests at the expense of their mission.

It's almost like 'institutions of global governance' are less accountable than democratic national governments or something. You'd think this would stop them from being 'fans' of global governance.

The article also misses the point that even according to the official WTO timeline there was a case in Thailand the day before the WTO said there was no human to human transmission and that Taiwan had told the WTO that medical professionals had become infected much earlier than that. Nice bit of investigative journalism, Robert. And look how he signs off

Christianity, which is practiced by midwestern Republicans like his parents is objectively false but Buddhism, as practiced by people he's never met on the other side of the world and in a bastardized form his hipster buddies, is true.


Nice one. Incidentally, if you click on the video and select Alignment->None the formatting won't be all fucky

This seems like the perfect thing to use a Pi Zero W for. Have it constantly send out the string that indicates someone is infected. Add a small battery pack and inconspicuously place it on top of the claw machine in front of the local Walmart. For $20 you could easily set the infected flag on a large portion of the local population.
 
That place has got to be haunted. Just fucking look at it. It's like the scene of every god damn brit horror story.
I'm sure it is. But i'd take one for the team and get kissed by corona chan just to recover in that garden come spring.

Stashing some weird looking thing with a batterypack will likely get you busted for planting a bomb or something.
You can get old chinkphones or phones with cracked screens now for $20.

I need to explain the timeline of prior message's andalusian fuckup just so you can laugh at the mess of how this escalated.

>Because my union contact is still not officially allowed to reenter but her substitute got a really angry letter from kitchen staff she talks with then by phone and sends me to check wtf her substitutes are doing.

>They go to breakfast and leave me in case someone calls.

>Cleaner comes saying he can barely fit more "corona boxes" and we need an alternarive.

>I tell him to call the waste disposers.

>He says there are no waste disposers and they've just been told to stack boxes on an old area typically used for blood donation and other temporary campaigns but they're running out of room.

>The only response I can muster at such incredible display of absurdity is "espera, que?" (Literally just "wait what" in spanish.

>He takes me to the room.

>fuckers didn't even use the big room where the beds are fir they started piling that shit on the supersmall side room used as a temporary desk. Literally only 2 people and a small desk fit there.

>I send pics to my union contact as I'm having a laughing fit because WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK.

>They do most of the investigation by phone. I only get added to the call with the directives because for some reason they demand more technical explanations as to why they're being retarded. The rest I learn second hand.

>at first our group asks for their heads but after this point we get ready to not be too harsh because we kinda get it.

>This is when I posted here about CCOO getting bought. Later I learned it was province level that bought them. Apparently, our directives got province involved because no duh, they literally can't fix anything without the autonomy level fixing the permit issue. And it was province level that decided to wage a war against the unions and pay CCOO.

>And now. From what I'm hearing today, the province level unions are telling ours that it was province level that told autonomy junta that it was a union plot against the right.

>Instead of, you know, double checking their intel and maybe realize that the loose collection of hubdreds of unions of competing ideologis strewn all over the fucking country aren't a massive plot the junta issues that order. Which predictably backfires.

And this is how the honest question of 1 poor fucking cleaner who didn't know where to stack his boxes is bringing on the downfall of 3 political parties at the autonomy level... wonderful how democract works sometimes. Huh?
 
This 'pandemic' has really brought out the bootlickers in society. This "any cost for the sake of safety" shit is going way too far to embolden those who crave for a power trip.

Yeah, Ben Franklins quote comes to mind about how Those Who Would Give Up Liberty for Safety, Deserve Neither.

I was talking with someone the other day whose basic stance was "I would give up all my freedoms for my safety! What good are freedoms if you're dead!?" That kind of attitude just makes my jaw drop, I don't even know how to respond. People like that are just so fucking lost that I doubt anything can be done for them.

Talking to Bugmen. Not even once.
 
Yeah, I had a similar conversation.

This was with a guy who was definitely heterosexual, but such a failure at life he was trying to teach himself to be gay because he figured men had lower standards and at least that way someone would touch him. I bring that up because I think it's relevant.

Also, huge Bernie Bro.
