Mega-Thread: Coronavirus Pandemic

[Shadowferal]

my my...
As I posted earlier, I had the flu last week and shook it off in a day...
And I find out now that it might not have been the flu.

Great, you got caught slinging utter bullshit, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to clutch pearls about your wrongness.

Because the way you're phrasing it makes it sound like I intentionally spread bullshit and mislead people, which i didn't do. I made a mistake, and amended it.

But whatever, the conversation has run it's course, I'll let it die. Just wanted to explain why I kept responding.

This is some pile of cynical bullshit if you ask me. Taiwan has shown that a virus epedemic is not a fate, they actually had a plan ready to pull out of the drawer, and despite the proximity to China hardly have any cases, let alone deaths. They quarantined and tested visitors from China early on and tested their population aggressively to keep the infections down - successfully.

It's cynical - and I hope their first idea was to stop it as S. Korea and Taiwan, i.e. testing and tracing cases, and most European countries were working hard on that - but Italy failed.

Western politicians are treating their citizens like cattle, ready for the slaughter. Just look at the term they are using: herd immunity - we are just animals to them, not individuals or human beings.

Herd immunity is a standard term for herd immunity - as humans have similar immune system as other animals.

OMG time for a little smile for the day...


Nation's Nerds Wake Up In Utopia Where Everyone Stays Inside, Sports Are Canceled, Social Interaction Forbidden


https://babylonbee.com/news/nations-...tion-forbidden


U.S.—The nation's nerds woke up in a utopia this morning, one where everyone stays inside, sporting events are being canceled, and all social interaction is forbidden.

All types of nerds, from social introverts to hardcore PC gamers, welcomed the dawn of this new era, privately from their own homes.
"I have been waiting my whole life for this moment," said Ned Pendleton, 32 -- via text message, of course -- as he fired up League of Legends on his beefy gaming PC. "They told me to take up a sport and that the kids playing basketball and stuff were gonna be way more successful than us nerds who played Counter-Strike at LAN parties every weekend."
"They all laughed at me. Well, who's laughing now?"

As a nerd, I say THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS.

I laughed a lot and it was nice

I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment, but the term they're using is the official and accurate medical term for it and is in no way representative of what you seem to be implying.

Well, looks like Denmark has shut down the borders for 1 month

Has there been any information released about recognizing signs in your cats? I read that it wasn't an issue as far as dogs are concerned but that cats may be more susceptible. Honestly I care more about the health of those furry buggers than myself.

well I just went and ordered a bidet so regardless of whether shit hits the fan here we're going to have cleaner bums after it arrives (pun intended)

Idk, but the baby wipes were nearly all gone as well. We bought a couple packs and got some angry looks by the mums in the aisle. Idgaf, tho, those aren’t just for babies and their baby doesn’t come before my needs or anyone else’s.

wierd thing is all the cases reported here are in madison area. nowhere near where we are.

Isn't that literally what you are doing?

Let me know when you see the irony.

ok so reporting facts is spreading fear. you just don't want to admit you were WRONG.

You sure are putting up one hell of a fight for you admitting you are wrong.

Weird how that works. You seem really upset. People pull the same shit every time there's a hurricane on the horizon.

Stop derailing the thread and continue discussion civilly.

[Kreuger]

National Emergency declared (USA)

[Voidwielder]

lmao what the fuck is he even saying

[Shadowferal]

Well, he went from saying that it was probably going away, to declaring a national emergency..When personal bubble meets reality check, a person can get confused and disillusioned.

Tulsi Gabbard pitches UBI until Coronavirus is no longer a national threat.

Limited travel restirictions here and you need a doctors list to pass the border if you are not the country ciziten. Also schools are closed down and so on.

Also wtf is wrong with Croatians. They want people from other countrys pay 500 euro to be in quarantine. (mostly truck drivers)

[jonnysensible]

China doing alot of soft diplomacy, history making stuff.

Stafford Act. Great piece of legislation. Push button, $50 billion released for medical emergency.

And he refused to get tested. And he's in the highest at risk demographic.

[tikcol]

On a serious note they really need to shut down all travel out of Florida RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

I am watching all these spring break video's....talk about a huge potential to spread it across the country at triple time.
