Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[UntimelyDhelmise]

But still, it won't last forever. Someone mentioned tax season being it's deathblow or something like that

That's the best hope we have to be quite honest. It will be a full year into this insanity, the elections will be over, they can't use "flu season" as the latest excuse as that will also have come and gone, the public's patience will be at its absolute thinnest, and the severe drop in tax revenue will be the coup de grace.

It cracks me the fuck up how we're supposed to be scared of a country full of "men" like this.

quantity over quality, there is strength in numbers. but you also need to consider the average western man, a conflict would look like a mass-scale bum fight.

See it like this buddy, through decades, no, CENTURIES, we have been our regular good'o disgusting selves with each other for all this time and nothing wiped us out for it.

Why suddenly NOW its "fucking dangerous" and why suddenly a MASK is going to make all the difference?
In terms of humanity's existance, Corona isnt anything new. Humanity dealt with new emerging diseases before even the first societies rose up. Humans may not be the strongest, fastest or deadliest in the animal kingdom...but you know what made us the dominant species? Simple, adaptation, resiliance and intelligence. Our bodies can adapt much easier than any other animal. They get sick and die, we get sick and get STRONGER from it. Corona is a tiny little bitch compared to the viruses humanity dealt over its very bloody and glorious history. If something will wipe us out, it will require God's full wrath to do so because a man-made imp of a cold virus aint.gonna.cut.it...

Oh and them being disgusting is ironically better for your own immune system so...there is that.

ah yes, good old hyperbole, why didn't I think of that. I'll do you one better, if we all stop wearing masks RIGHT NOW, no one is gonna die anymore! not from heart disease, from traffic accidents, and certainly not from the flu which kills over half a million people each year. why would anyone want to limit the spread of a single respiratory virus, right? I also hope you tell your surgeon next time to go in raw, unclean surgery won't wipe out civilization either.

it might surprise you but I give a rats as if it wipes people out or not. I don't want to get sick, as simple as that. not corona, not the flu, not even a fucking cold. it has fuck all to do with corona or stopping it right in it's tracks but it's simple common courtesy, why do you think asians wear masks when they gather somewhere? if you're such a hardass go lick some handrails or the floor in a public bathroom, everything should be totally fine, just as humanity was over the centuries! you might even get stronger from it.

meanwhile speaking of disgusting, let me buck naked wet fart into your couch. after all following your logic it makes zero difference and the brown stain will be ironically better for you own immune system too!

Just say "wear the mask and live in a pod bigot" next time. It's shorter and makes you look like less of a knob.

I mean, we could've a civil discussion about this and at least respect each other's sides...

or you could just make an ass of yourself.

Guess which one you choose, dummie.

the problem is, they aren't wrong. you're wearing the mask so your shit doesn't spray all over the place, others wearing a mask is safer for you. they are just going about it the wrong way, and all the retarded mandates don't help either.

Don't post if you have nothing to say. If anyone could write your post, it doesn't need to be made.

what civil discussion? if you can't understand there's a valid reason for wearing a mask and instead reply with some stupid "humanity will survive" drivel, then rate shit like we're on fucking reddit, you need to kindly neck yourself.

to put it in simple sentences since you obviously had problems the first time:

masks help
when used appropriately
which isn't the case right now

next time you decide to have a spergfit at least try to get the point.

Let me ask you something, mate, do you know the definition of "Pot calling the kettle black"?

I respect your stand but you clearly doesnt respect mine and you actually call ME the sperg...? *shrug* Okay then. Go ahead, see where that takes ya.
All I wanted to do was to reassure you we are gonna be fine and yet you chimp out on me calling me this and that.

 

[gd7]

I don't want to get sick, as simple as that. not corona, not the flu, not even a fucking cold.

So go live in a bubble. This is completely unrealistic.

yes, we will be fine because no one ever dies from the flu any other respiratory virus. are you retarded? and yes, most people will be fine mask or not, while it will prevent some from getting sick - and potentially dying. that doesn't mean we need to wear one everywhere, but there's a reason some people are mandated to wear them long before corona was a thing.
and if you don't die you might still need hospitalization (fyi: half a million in the usa last season for flu alone), so even if it won't end civilization you'll still have a shit time and possibly be out a good chunk of money. if you can even afford to get sick in the first place.

might be a novel concept to you, but generally people try to avoid getting sick. that doesn't mean leaving the house in bubble-wrap, nor crossing the street to scream into someone's face to wear a mask.

so yes "we'll be fine", but with masks used appropriately at the right time and place (emphasized for you) "we'll be even more fine". and that's why you're a retarded sperg.

So go live in a bubble. This is completely unrealistic.

and getting coofed on nilly-willy "to get stronger" thinking nothing will ever affect you or anyone else is retarded. it's almost like context matters.

Governor Wolf deserves to be put on the list of governors dragged out of office. That man and his Ben Stein lookalike are complicit in the deaths of many elderly people.

Welcome to what happens when blue zone faggots vote in someone whose campaign promise the second time around "This time I promise to accomplish something."

masks help

Not according to the mask manufacturers.

Here is the thing about buying a home.

90% of people buy a "house" because they think it will magically improve in value and they can leave it to their kids as some sort of investment..so they buy something bigger than they could ever use, that they can't afford and then end up in debt forever trying to maintain it.

Buy a house as a tool. A tool for something to be permanently over your head. Do not buy a tool you don't need. Do you plan on being married and having kids? If not you don't have a need for a massive thing with a bunch of bathrooms and bedrooms.

Would you buy a Tank to drive back and forth to work? No..buy the right tool for the right job.

Agreed, what you described are some of the reasons I haven’t seriously considered buying. My rule is that I will not buy anything that costs more monthly than I pay for rent now. In my area, I could easily buy something in the $250k range for less than my rent. We have an abundance of 2/3 bedroom, 2 bathroom new construction homes too. I work remotely, even before Wuflu, so one bedroom would be an office and home gym area.

You don't know me. You don't know my life.
For real though, how does one even find small homes? It's like McMansions ran through and destroyed all the small ones.

What do you consider small? We have lots of 1400-1700sqft houses, but I know Texas has 3000-5000sqft as a norm.

I would be very happy in a 1700sqft house with a garden.

I am not an anti-vaxxer by any stretch, but why would I allow my family to get an unproven, rushed vaccine that uses a mechanism never tried before? No doubt they will make it mandatory for school attendance so I will have to homeschool for another year or two.

I'm in no hurry to allow myself to receive a vaccine that's been rushed into production with minimal testing and scrutiny. I'd be more inclined to get my first flu shot than a COVID shot unless the latter somehow became mandatory (and eve then I'd be doing it rather begrudgingly).

Before I crash, here's something appearing on social media and presumable taken from the "COVID must affect people's thinking skills department":

Spoiler: Text of Image

Why can people seated in restaurants remove their masks but children seated in classrooms cannot?
-Asking for America-

Maybe it's because people in restaurants need to uncover their faces to eat or drink what they've ordered to eat -- something that even Michigan's existing slate of Executive Orders recognizes as a valid reason/exception for not covering one's face. Kids learning in a classroom have no pressing need to remove their masks barring an unforeseen situation.

Gotta love the people who make apples and oranges arguments and can't understand why they end up with a mess of fruit salad instead.

Um ... Kids eat during the school day. You know that, right?

If the kids need to take off their masks to eat, then that pretty much renders the use of the masks during the rest of the day pointless.

 

[ditto]

Does anyone have an answer for what causes asymptomatic/pre-symptomatic spread?

I just assume the whole "asymptomatic" thing is down to the tests having such a high false-positive rate.

Either that or (conspiracy hat on) COVID-19 isn't as new and novel as they make out and it's been circulating for most of 2019 or even earlier.

 

[deeplyhigh]

I went to an event yesterday and everyone was acting normal, shaking hands, standing close to each other while talking. Multiple people talking about how they are done with the lockdowns. It feels like everyone is waiting for others to stop obeying en masse.

I would be very happy in a 1700sqft house with a garden.

It is the perfect size. We must have tons of starter homes being built here because most of the new construction in the outer suburbs are in that 1400-1700sqft range on 1/4 or 1/2 acre lots.

You know, I will always complain of my school years. They were fucking awful.

But by God Im so glad to be out of it now more than ever. As if school wasnt a fucking depressing enviroment, now you have all these masks and people treating you like a sack of diseases.

As if Colombine didnt made teachers afraid of socially awkward students being school shooters (tho they still wont try to properly help with the bullying they suffer in the school itself, that would require getting involved. its much easier to punish than it is to remedy a situation), now students are seen as "infectious" and gotta keep wearing masks probably even at the restroom. I cant wait for students to become mini-KGB and begin to expose other students just trying to take a breather.

As if schools werent environments just barely more functional than Mad Max

Notice how since the schools have been closed no kids have shot up their homes.

It's almost like public schools are fucking shitholes that breed psychopaths or something.
