Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[behavioral swamp thang]

Kinda late on this one, but Alabama extended their mask order until October 2nd. I'm seriously about to burst a blood vessel.

Alabama? Bitch, there shouldn't even be laws in the south lmfao

 

[Brittnay Matthews]

wasn't this a known fact since day one?

 

[Y2K Baby]

And?

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

Can't wait for HHH to sperg about how we're killing grandma's if we dont wear a mask every second of the day

 

[Haramburger]

Remote. LEARNING! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I mean, this just proves that the reason covid is dangerous isn't because it kills people really well, it's that it spreads very well and that allows it to spread to people who have conditions that will make them more likely to die.

Scaremongerers who said it was a fucking holocaust of a disease are definitely dumb, though, and this gives people evidence to say that.

 

[FlappyBat]

One thing I didn't see (it's late so forgive me if I missed it) is what is the percent of population they consider to have a comorbidity. For example, in the extreme, if 94% of people have what they consider a comorbitity, then it really is completely just covid because the death rates are the same.

Counting things like old age, obesity, diabetes as comorbities; you can reach very high percentages of the population very quickly. It's a very different story if 90% of the population has a comorbidity, verse 80%, verse 10%.

Yeah, but when an 85 year old who dies of pneumonia but also tested positive for strep throat we don't lockdown the entire country and make people wear masks to stop the spread of strep.

With this new data (as we all suspected), these deaths would've happened whether COVID19 emerged or not.

But nothing will change with this new information because these government over-reaches and lockdown measures were never really about "flattening the curb" (it was just the excuse).

 

[Crazedking]

So let me get this right? the virus alone has killed at most 6% of the 180 000. so 10 800. And everything else is death from comorbidity? meaning deathfats and people with actual health problems AND most deaths were from thing that would actually kill you even if you didnt have Covid.

Gosh im sure glad we fucking closed down the world for a fucking cough that spread a bit quick. If only some people had told people to not fucking panic.

Remember, though, the key, as has been the case all along, has been advanced age and two or three comorbidities. Barring that, your chances of dying are extremely low.

 

[AnnLurker]

It was never a problem to begin with.
Turns out the ironic expected lies of China that it didn't kill that many people were true. They were just freaked out it COULD become a monster virus they unleashed and ends up it was weaker than any flu humanity ever encountered.

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Wasn't this the case everywhere? Mostly elderly and severely ill people die of COVID-19, like in Italy, where more people get to live to 90? This shit is news on account how media handles it.
It's always been "you don't want Grandma and Grandpa to die, do you?", not "SPANISH FLU AND EBOLA IN ONE NEAT PACKAGE" where I live.

Anyway, I smell (((shenanigans))).

The virus has rock-bottom depopulation potential.

If you wanted something to even dent the human population you would need at least a >10% lethality rate and the ability to kill or otherwise sterilize normal, reproductive-age adults.

This virus is great at murking old people who have already reproduced and are already on death's doorstep; with a few fatties as by-catch who as a group are unlikely to be an effective offspring source anyways.

There was rumors early on that it fucks with your fertility if you're a guy - no idea if it's true, though.

Side question: How's homeschooling going? I'd expect to see a lot of people moving that way soon.

They're trying to outlaw it by regulating it to death SUPER FUCKING QUICKLY.

• You aren't allowed to hire a tutor for your kids
• You aren't allowed to have more than 5 kids in a room at the same time homeschooling
• A parent MUST be in attendance at all times

At the one hand, it's avoiding people just creating schools and calling them homeschooling pods. On the other, it's also them very blatantly working to hamstring homeschooling to "some tradcon wife and her 1-3 kids being raised to be stupid rednecks because fuck non-liberals."

 

[Xarpho]

Yeah, no shit. I want to make a deal with retailers—you don't make me a wear a mask and you stay open 24 hours for poor saps like me that work nights just like you used to before the world went nuts, and in exchange, you can keep six feet distancing, limits on buying cleaning products, and those plexiglass shields at the checkout.

It's only become "we've gotta protect Grandma!" after mask mandates. Prior to that, it was Spanish Flu 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Who wants to live to 90 anyways? Your mind is gone, bladder/bowel control is comprised, and all of your friends are dead. Chances are, your kids stuck you in a bang'em and bag'em joint where you're monitored, have restricted privileges, and your family almost never visits you. COVID liberates them from their now bleak existence (because at that point you're not really living).

Seriously, if I make it to 85+ years and my kids stuck me in a place where some fat black bitch nurse steals my shit, and won't let me drink a beer or smoke a cigarette I'll haunt their asses.

Well, to be fair, most people in governments all across the world is in the group most affected...

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

I don't even really believe those stories of how coroner wiped out entire retirement houses.
I live near one, and the moment masks stopped being mandatory I haven't seen a single elderly person wearing them. And I see lot of them every day, walking their tiny dogs or shambling with their walking sticks towards the grocery store. It's a certainty that many of retirement homes across this country got wholly infected in the past 6 months, and nothing even approaching those stories happened. Maybe the western untermenschen are just too fragile.

So then seal off the seats of government from the unclean masses.

The rest of us need to work to pay the taxes to feed (them).

Globohomo just saw their opportunity to engineer the economic recession they thought would crush Trump.

One of the articles I can find on the issue is a nursing home in Florida where 72 patients died of COVID-19, which sounds shocking until it turns out that was maybe 20% of its capacity that died, and no telling how many of those patients were already at death's door already.

The other thing to remember the news media never cared about nursing homes before. There was a particular nursing home in my town that was around since the late 1970s, changed hands (and names) several times, and I'm sure I went there at least once on a school trip to sing to the residents or something, but I noticed one day that it was devoid of any cars in the parking lot with the grass clearly not having been mowed. Did some searching, Google thought it was still open, no newspaper articles mentioning it...the only proof that it had closed was a government website that listed nursing home closures as required by the state. It had been closed since last year, and no one seemed to notice.

That all changed with COVID-19, of course...suddenly we're supposed to care about a sort of place where residents perish on a regular basis.
