Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Forest Portal Triumph 747]

I'm so glad I stopped consooming xkcd years ago. Randall's politisperging, like many other formerly tolerable libtards, went off the rails at the start of the Trump Era.

I'm going to infect Randall with chicken pox and finally end XKCD once and for all.

TBH some of his old comics are preachy and gay too. He's a Scientism cultist through and through. I wouldn't be surprised if he posted on LessWrong at some point.

He deserves a thread on this site. I'm surprised he doesn't already have one. I remember being an xkcd forum user in the late 2000s, I don't even know if that's still around anymore but I'm guessing it's full of lib pseudointellectuals who try even harder to be lib pseudointellectuals more than the lib pseudointellectuals on most other internet forums.

edit: speaking of which, look what i just found

I know that Asian cultures are inherently collectivist because of what some dude said hundreds of years ago or whatever, but is there something specific about Australian culture that allows for this? This country started as a fucking prison colony and they have dangerous animals crawling everywhere, why are they pansies?

I am thankful I live in a US red state.

It's the era Australia was settled in. American culture descends from the initial settlers, 17th/18th century British people, who were very concerned about absolutist monarchs removing power from the people and freedom of religion since several kings of England had done just that/tried to do just that. Australian culture descends mostly from its settlers in the era of Victorian Britain, where it's a stable, "obviously" democratic society where you don't rock the boat, you tell your member of Parliament your concerns and vote. Same thing with New Zealand. If you're wondering, Canada's a little different in that the entirety of Anglo-Canadian identity is a conscious rejection of American culture and values and literally always has been.

In a nutshell, that's why the United States isn't as godawful as the rest of the Anglosphere, that and the fact our Constitution enshrines the mindset of the 17th/18th century freedom-minded Englishman and literally cannot be ignored (unlike Canada's Charter where it seriously says the government can ignore it "if they need to"). 2020 should be presented as a giant civics lesson to anyone not convinced about the benefits of the Constitution, like I always loved the 1st and 2nd amendments but I never knew just how fucking great the 10th amendment (for instance) was. I mean fuck, you could teach an entire civics course using the lessons of 2020, from the benefits of federalism, to how totalitarianism arises in a society, to the interplay between government and bureaucracy.

I could tell from him vagueposting about Donald Trump after pushing Hillary Clinton. (As if someone would not read the comic and use the advice in voting towards Donald Trump.)

Myself, his Holy Ghost comic plummeted my opinion of the webcomic, though I cannot help but kee peeking at xkcd all the same.

More on topic, that is no the only comic he did on the subject.

I am giving him some slack there, though: the regulations alone made the topic very difficult in being avoided.

Alright Kewi's. Personal Crisis time.

I got a friend in a red state who's just come into contact with somebody who's had covid. They are good people, but lean left. What's the best easily available med's for this shit if they get it? They are panicking and id like to give them good advice.

No bullshit please.

They’ll definitely want to use butt plugs to stop themselves from shitting blood everywhere.

Go back to 1990, myself.
...
Transforming into a lizard person, even if I do not become a member of The Powers That Be, is the next bes thing to me.

Im game for going back to 1990, but not at the cost of my humanity and becoming some man/reptile hybrid abomination.

Nah; the 'man/reptile hybrid' was pretty much a backup plan. I would more prefer experiencing the 90s anew.

Perhaps Fauci is traveling! Or perhaps he is asleep and must be woken.

I would rather him "sleep" forever.

Canada's a little different in that the entirety of Anglo-Canadian identity is a conscious rejection of American culture and values and literally always has been.

Canada also has the French element and the legal philosophy that comes from the Frankish mindset, as Quebec was once the headquarters of France's colonial holdings and still has millions of French speakers- many of which want to form their own, separate country entirely.

The most concerning aspect of this, is that it hasn't been reported on the news on the bbc website like the other two were. (Just checked the sports page and not a fucking peep. That's bad. It means it is being covered up)

Speaking of BBC and cover ups, we have this update from England:

Covid: Workplaces told to plan for absences of up to 25%

Rising Covid cases could see a worst case scenario of up to a quarter of staff off work, the government says.

www.bbc.co.uk

Public sector leaders have been asked to prepare for "worst case scenarios" of 10%, 20% and 25% absence rates, the Cabinet Office said.

Rising case numbers have led to large numbers self-isolating and being unable to go to work. This has particularly affected industries where staff are unable to work from home.

There are two factors in play here: 1) The aforementioned staff who can't work from home, aka shop floor staff, are at their tipping point morale wise. It's the worst i've seen it in my career. Anyway, you're telling these people who usually have to work Christmas and New years, that if they test positive, they not only get 10 days off, with statuatory sick pay, but some companies are giving full pay. Of course people are going to chance it.

2) and it's not mentioned in this article but I have heard other reporters quoting our PM as saying "25% of staff absent due to covid RELATED issues." With the news not reporting on the above football incident, that 25% could be vax issues.

And speaking of vax issues, a quick bit of anecdotal blog posting:

A family member of mine who is unvaxxed and point blank refuses to get it, who has never wore a mask through any of this, has got Omicron. They said they've had worse colds and were only rough for one day. However, his GF, GF's parents and GF's brother, all double jabbed+boosted are suffering very badly. The GF et al have described it as the worst flu they've ever had (they're not pussies by any means) and a week after catching it, they're all still very ill.

Covid: Pupils to wear face masks in class to tackle Omicron

The move aims to address concerns about schools staying open for face-to-face learning this coming term.

www.bbc.co.uk

All pupils in secondary education must wear masks all day, every day, and receive tests before going to school. In my school, half of the kids would have just fucked it off because they couldn't be arsed, the other half would have had their parents panicing and keeping the kids at home. Prepare for a big IQ drop from this generation of kids. Poor bastards.

Step 1) Instruct them in the proper methods of registering on KiwiFarms.

Step 2) Insist that they religiously read Articles and News.

Step 3) Direct them to this thread.

Hey, you said you wanted to give them good advice. You didn't specify for which disease, so I had to cover all the bases.

I was going to suggest that this would free them from the BAME/LGBTQP brainwashing but this means that they're just going to get it all straight from the source on twitter and discord

Maybe one legendary little shit in each school could take up the mantle and educate their friends. In high school I had good times trading shock sites and browsing 8 /b/ on the school network with them (they only banned 4chan and never updated the blocklist)

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Is there any chance the "New Normal" will ever go away entirely?

Or will there be places where it continues indefinitely, because tyrants found a "winning formula" to screw over the "little people"?

It will take a generation or two, just like all other culture shifts. The radical new movement of the youngest zoomers/Gen Alpha is going to be totally mundane 2019 things like "not wearing a mask in a restaurant" and "partying without asking about vaxx status". And even then there will be countries where you'll always be forced to scan your vaxx passport and take your mandatory 2 vaxxes and 4 boosters a year before you're permitted to do practically anything, countries where mask mandates will be everywhere, or at least every winter and as ubiquitous as burkas in Saudi Arabia. My guess is probably some random European country.

Mandatory testing every morning, holy shit, I'd so be kicked out of school in this day and age if the mask mandates didn't get me first.

>tfw your school never blocks 4chan until a friend tells the tech guys about it just to fuck with you

Literally nothing. Don't mind indulge their paranoid hysteria by treating this as anything more than a minor cold.

Nurses are not allowed to work in New South Wales if they haven't had the vaxx but if they have actual Covid? They're good to go

Decision to exempt NSW health workers from Covid isolation reflects hospitals’ ‘desperate situation’

Doctors say change in policy could put patients at higher risk of catching Covid, but it may be only way of fixing staffing crisis

www.theguardian.com

There are now a bunch of countries allowing case positive or close contacts to work in hospitals due to extreme staff shortages. This is of course is much, much safer than allowing some dirty unjabbed plague rat on the wards many of whom have previously caught and recovered from the virus.

It is safer… for their big pharma masters’ profits. That’s all this has ever been about: testing these gene therapies and creating a new profit line for big pharma. Will it also kill millions of people a year? Probably, but to these globalist pieces of shit, that’s a feature not a bug.

Trust your instinct. Some people are highly intuitive , the subconscious explores combinations, like piecing a puzzle, and thrust a the connected whole to the consciousness.

In this case people subconsciously know its better to catch glorified cold and be over with it for the next year or more (getting orginal sars provided immunity after 20 years (!) to covid) than risk unknown side effects with unknown level off protection.

At the same time, people subconsciously will know its better to risk vaccine side effects than getting ebola or any deadly virus.

One's conscious mind may not know or verbalize how the pattern was recognized, neurons categorize in layers for hierarchical recognition. One cannot really pick a set of neurons and sum up their individual outputs as a conscious choice.
Your instincts developed through years of evolution to give this advantage.

Also since when leftists love science and reasoning so much?
