Latest Canadian Case is a woman who had traveled from Colorado.

It's possible she caught it from someone at an airport, but that still doesn't bode well.

I got 3 masks with replaceable p100 charcoal filters for wildfire season and gardening. Apart from "masks do nothing actually", are these any good? Like this one:

you need to follow the instructions on how to decontaminate w dilute bleach. you can also decontaminate the filters by a different method. if you do that and put it on and take it off right and do a fit test properly and all the other poo poo, it'll work. makes you look like a painter

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous—got me?
I thought I was almost over the lung infection I caught back in early December, then I was exposed to cigarette smoke for fifteen minutes last weekend and it’s like I regressed two months. I wonder if the virus is long-cleared and it just hosed up my lung so bad that it’s still raw.

Just canceled a trip to SF at the end of the month. A relative close to Melinda Gates was told in confidence that they are expecting the largest outbreak in the country in the next week. :toot:

edit: clarify: my relative

Latest word is that they're gonna dock the Plague Ship 2 in Oakland on Monday

Californians on PS2 are going to do 14 day quarantine at the air force base 20 minutes north of oakland. Unclear where the others are headed.

And yeah we have two community spread cases in downtown SF and one unknown spread case in Berkeley, give that 2 weeks for the first set of ~15-20 cases to take root (march 17), and then those cases will have doubled by April 1 to 20 + 40 = 60.... once it takes root in the homeless/navigation centers that should shoot up the infection rate quite a bit as they're heavy users of public transit + not heavy users of hygine, should bring the system to it's knees by mid-may.

Is everybody ready for Jug On Head 2: Boomer Boogaloo?

On the one hand it will keep people from coughing their droplets all over you. On the other hand if you keep it all zipped up it's going to get all foggy in there. On the third hand at least the tent boomer on the plane next to you can't use the armrest.

I'm leaving SF tomorrow for a two week road trip in Spain. People keep asking me if I'm comfortable traveling and I'm like gently caress yeah. Screw this place. I'm expecting this city to be full mohawk and assless chaps post apocalypse by the time I get back. My only worry is that the recent warm weather has inflamed my seasonal allergies causing me to sneeze and sniffle and I'm afraid they won't let me through customs. Hopefully I'll be so drunk from duty free whiskey that they won't notice.

At least this panic won't create meaningful shortages. If you run out and the store is out too you can always use kleenex, paper towel, or rag on a stick (just don't flush anything but TP, you monsters). Though locally while supplies have been low sometimes, there's always been plenty of the thin scratchy store brand left on the shelves. So nobody is having to totally do without.

They aren't air tight, they are just designed to keep rain off while you watch your kid play soccer or whatever. I'm sure there is enough passive flow to keep anyone accidentally killing themselves.

When civilisation ends and all the infrastructure grinds to a halt I bet all those city folks holed up with their 600 rolls of toilet paper and 5000 tins of baked beans will wish the plumbing still worked so their toilet could have some water to flush with.

Fecal lasagne, just saying.

Maybe that's what needs to come back in a big way. Umbrellas for the classy gentleman / lady.

Need to tap a crossing or elevator button without soiling your gloves? Poke with your umbrella. Someone about to sneeze? Deploy your umbrella and use as shield against the slovenly cretin. Fellow survivor making GBS threads by sticking their bare arse out the 4th story window because all the plumbing city-wide is no longer functional? Deploy your umbrella as if to shield against rain.

Really umbrellas are the natural solution to many of these problems.

Bat Soup Fever. The Kung Flu. Wuhan Flu. Corona-chan. At least, unlike the Spanish Flu, this one actually DID take off in Wuhan.

If we named this like the Spanish Flu was named it would probably wind up 4chan Fever.
