Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Xerxes IX]

You know, the makeup is in character for someone in that job. They haven't a fucking clue and are major-league clowns.

Here's the latest bad news from the county I live in. Just more fodder for Newsom to keep people from working. My neighbors finish moving out today.

CASES CLIMB AGAIN AS SALINAS, SALINAS VALLEY SHOW BIG INCREASE

• Reopening of more sectors starting to look like mirage

Monterey County had 380 new cases of coronavirus during the week that ends today, according to numbers released by the county health department — an 8.6 percent increase over last week's total of 350.

The county's 7-day moving average of new cases per 100,000 residents — a key metric in determining whether more sectors of our economy will be allowed to reopen — stands at 11.7 percent, up from 10.8 last week. A modified version of the 7-day average of new cases has to get below 7.0 for the county to be allowed to move into the next-lower tier, the Red Tier, in the state's coronavirus shutdown scheme. Our current report card, which comes from the California Department of Public Health, shows a modified score of 8.5, based on 396 new cases during the week ending Oct. 17. (Most of California's 58 counties are in much less restrictive tiers. Report cards for the counties can be found here.)

The increase in cases in Monterey County this week was, once again, centered in Salinas and the Salinas Valley, where 295 new infections were confirmed. The Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur had 61 cases, including 30 in Seaside, 15 in Marina, seven in Monterey, four in Carmel area (93923) two in Pacific Grove, and none among residents of Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach or Carmel-by-the-Sea. Two cases were added to the Peninsula’s “unspecified” total.

There were five coronavirus-related fatalities among county residents during the week, according to the health department, bringing the total since the epidemic began to 96, which translates to a death rate in Monterey County of .0002067, or 206.7 per million residents. (To compare that to other locations around the country or the world, please click here.)

Seventeen additional county residents required hospitalization this week. Yesterday, CHOMP reported four inpatients with the virus, while Natividad said it had eight and SVMH reported 13.

Below, you can also find the updated versions of our charts showing coronavirus infections countywide and in the Monterey Peninsula, along with the data for hospitalizations and our chart breaking down Monterey County's coronavirus cases and infection rates by zip code.

Speaking of California's tiers I find it very strange that San Francisco is yellow tier. Most other populous places in the state still have restrictions and SF doesn't? Ok Newsom. It almost does make it believable that rightthinkers are getting punished less. Not that it matters thanks to the absurd cost of living there. For everyone who isn't a rich tech industry person irreparable damage has already done. Some months ago I read a lot about how many small businesses had to close down in San Francisco, especially salons which were getting demonized by the pro-lockdown camp.

Or maybe SF is such a disease pit (the amount who are pozzed nonwithstanding) that immune systems over there are strong enough to knock away the coof like it's nothing. Like we haven't heard about massive Covid deaths in India, the shit on the street made them stronger.

You're the gibbering bonobo crying about happenings as though they're false.

Many here, are. You're completely absent of any thoughts except deep-set narcissism and audacity - you're an Iscariot cunt who tries to siphon legitimacy by attaching yourself to the contrarian views, in order to hopefully garner some "broken clock" method of excelling.

If your point was to prove how you're not a redditor, then you have failed marvelously.

and the bulk of the population, as we see in this thread, have no idea how bad a pandemic can get.

If you had bothered to actually read through the thread, then you would see why we aren't fucking scared of this coronavirus. If you had taken the time to read the studies we posted, then you would understand why we are all in agreement this thing has a 99.6-99.8% survival rate.

But you didn't. You dropped in to post some spicy hot takes and compare us to AIDS queers without doing your damn homework.
Better yet, nobody here keeps bringing up intelligence and contrarianism except you, the lone dissenter talking about how you're so much smarter than us all.

So either get with the program or GTFO back to reddit until you learn how to lurk.

Time out. Play the ball, not the man. If you have a contribution to make. it's welcomed. But trolling other people isn't cool, doesn't advance the thread, doesn't add to the collective knowledge.

Having said that, this is fucked. A broken heart can kill just as easily as any disease. These "governors" keeping nursing home patients locked up need to use some common sense. Sadly, when you are drunk with power common sense goes right out the window.

@More AWS-8Q Than You - Indeed. That's why I have no intention of being tested. Already hard enough to watch neighbor having to move. Not getting vaccine, either. Not depriving a breadwinner of the chance to support his or her family.

My grandmother's been living on her own since my grandfather passed away a couple of years back, and while it's not all sunshine and roses it's a hell of a lot better than if she were stuck in a care home. She hasn't had people round apart from close family, but she can at least chat over the garden wall with her neighbours and friends have been bringing things over for her (for example, she turned 87 today so they made her dinner so she didn't have to spend the day cooking.) If she was trapped in one of those places she wouldn't be getting any of that, and I'm immensely glad that's not the case.

I used to think that nursing homes were at least good because they could interact with each other and get some social interactivity that way.

After seeing my grandfather in a nursing home for a couple years, I can honestly say that I was wrong. These people never talk to each other. Unless my grandfather himself was just anti-social, but I also saw walking in-and-out lots of people were sitting in the common areas, but they were all social distancing a decade before COVID.

 

[The Nothingness]

I talk to people about how lockdowns are bad because, not just personal freedoms, but the other things like suicide, depression, heart attacks, cancers, et cetera.

You know what's sad?

These people have been listening to CNN so long, they legitimately believe that people have never taken any precautions against Corona. Not just a select few; they legit believe America has never taken Corona seriously.

• "230,000+ people have died from Covid-19. How many would still be alive if selfish assholes wore their damn masks
• doing nothing worked well.
• Maybe if people would follow the guidelines we would not have to shut down.

These comments are from 3 different people.

They are dead serious that the US has "done nothing" to prevent Corona deaths.

Meanwhile if you tell them about the CDC report where 85% of a studied group that got COVID-19 said they wore masks "all the time", chances are they won't believe you.

With certain politicians and medical experts talking about controlling this virus, the one question that isn't asked is how many viruses are under control? I'm old enough to remember when outbreaks of Ebola and the bubonic plague sprung up in the US.

My grandmother was like that in a nursing home, but she was a terminal dementia case, so it's not all that surprising. My great aunt also spent her last year in a nursing home, but she was a gregarious sort and was constantly interacting with the other residents, nurses, visitors, and people passing by the fence.

I suspect a large part of it is down to whether the person accepts their situation. My great aunt pretty much demanded to be put in one. She said to us "I'm one hundred a two years old, I need a break", so it was a positive experience for her, and she was glad to spend her last days being taken fare of instead of having to look after herself. My gran went in because she couldn't wipe her own backside without falling over. You can imagine she was less than keen on being there.

Overall, I'm negative to the places. They seem to be primarily a place for people to send unwanted relatives. If I ever end up in one, I'll probably try and top myself.

Agree. Nasty Nancy is Newsom's mother-in-law, I believe. Just one more Newsom epic fuckup.

Re nursing homes, my mother-in-law recently turned 92. She lives at her place, basically bedridden but my wife is caregiver. Wife's sister helps some. She isn't going into any nursing home. least as long as my wife is alive. In CA, your family members can be paid by the state to be your caregivers. They pay my wife. You can see similar all over the state. Am sure it's much cheaper for the state than putting all these people into Medicaid nursing homes.

Not real hip on the idea of going into a nursing home myself. Nah, fuck that.

Ireland had 3 deaths from corona, so now they are in entire lockdown. What wonderful logic!

Here, have a based superintendent to uplift the spirits.

You're on the right track. Nancy is Gavin's aunt by marriage.

I feel so fucking awful for you European Kiwis right now, your leaders have absolutely fucked you all over.

Just wait to see what happens if Biden gets elected. We'll be getting nationwide lockdowns for months.

And that doesn't include the poor saps in democrat-controlled states.

That's rough. Life is cruel.

I could write a whole lot more. But it's late.

Covid-19: PM announces four-week England lockdown​

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a second national lockdown for England to prevent a "medical and moral disaster" for the NHS.


"moral disaster"

I'm at the stage where I'm not playing minecraft anymore. Better be careful using the word 'moral' around me matey boy.

I'd be happy to see these cunts have their cocks ripped off on the steps, just like chowcheskew, know worra mean?

I can weather this storm. But many others won't.

Ah well, I guess we go to war this year. The people running the show were always going to dicate this. So they have spoken. Are you ready proles? The elites want you to rise up. Come on, fucking chop chop, get to it!

It's a shit or bust situation.

They feel pretty safe taking the piss out of you.

What are you going to do about it, eh?

How would that be constitutional? The president does have broad powers but there's no way something like that wouldn't just get suspended within days on the basis of states' rights by some random judge in Wyoming or whatever and all we'd get is Joe screaming "c'mon man" at red state governors. Same reason Trump can't just force Commiefornia and Michigan to stop the repression of their people.

Kiwis sure, but the rest can go fuck themselves. They've constantly bitched at America for "not taking it seriously" and yet despite following all the rules like good little sheep, they are the ones getting locked back in the pen. Of course as already pointed out if Braindead Biden cheats his way in then we'll be locked up right along with them but allow me this brief moment of schadenfreude god dammit.

Yesterday in Italy we finally got to hear the opinion of a Doctor. For once it was a generic Doctor, not one of the endless stream of epidemiologists looking for their 5 minutes of fame from day one of our March lockdown. Anyway, he pointed out that a good 80% of Italians are suffering from symptoms typical of mild depressive syndrome. Insomnia, paranoia, compulsive behavior. We're basically getting Corona Derangement Syndrome. Covid virus bad.

Jokes aside, how long can we go on like this?

 

[Vince McMahon]

I feel so fucking awful for you European Kiwis right now, your leaders have absolutely fucked you all over.

Perks of living in my country is that people have learned not to exactly give a fuck about whatever the government is saying or doing because we always presume that it's lying and it's always the opposite of what they're saying.

Right now, the official incidence numbers are at 8k daily and we've already had seen them probe in the press that they may open makeshift hospitals in large venues. Quelle surprise - we're also having a constitutional crisis right now (our Constitutional Court is having a fit and was probably paid off by Russian-backed politicians) and our Pres is jerking back and forth and wants to restart the court. Large coof count is somehow terribly coincidental with the large happenings in my country.

LOL. Ok Politifact. Cuomo didn't kill thousands of old people. The same way Biden never said he would eliminate fracking.

I live! The house kind of didn't. Without getting too personal: We lost power at the start and then a tree fell through the roof. So... yeah. To add possible insult into injury, I also got sick, which I think was a cold but I did get that one time where I suddenly got the feeling of running out of breath out of nowwhere. Fortunately sickness seems to be disappearing recently so that's a plus on not possibly spending more money to reach our pockets to see if that was the Wuflu.
We now stay with our main cousin, and I now hate the phrase "hurricanes are just rain/wind" with every fiber of my being. At least the family shut up with that.
