yeah this thread is doing a number on me because I keep rapidly oscillating between extreme panic and thinking that, since I don’t already have any serious health problems, I’ll probably be ok if I just take care of myself.

just start planning out what you'll do with your 2 week sickday vacation, if when you catch it. maybe finish the witcher 3 or stockpile some tv shows you've been meaning to catch up and binge on

unless you're a morbidly obese couch potato whose wheezing just walking around or pre-existing lung problems, or over 60, you'll be fine. at least as far as we currently know, and assuming it doesn't mutate (seems unlikely to drastically change)

yeah for the record I don't think this will lead to Black Death, 97% of us will be just fine. I'm just having fun with it, because, like, A R0 OF FIVE POINT FORTY SEVEN HOLY LMAO

Also this has the chance to trigger the economic crash we've been posting about for years in the Doomsday Economics thread. China basically shutting down for an entire month is going to have loads of knock-on effects lol and might finally lead to all the other precarious structures crumbling down. Or it might not!

yeah this. i'm fully in doomer it's not getting contained mentality and i guarantee most everyone of us is going to catch it by the end of the year, but even if death toll is artificially suppressed and to 95%, that's primarily going to be obese/olde/lung-immune compromised type (probably the all 3 wombo-combo)

So I just got off the phone with my friend who lives in Wuhan. Apparently she's come down with a cough and she's pretty sure she's got coronavirus, HOWEVER she's been locked in her room for over a week now and went in for some vaccine shot boosters about a month ago before this whole thing kicked off. I'm starting to think the theories about this being a government superweapon are real.

The virus was spreading from before a week ago. If she really got it, she would have been infected about 14 days ago. Its two weeks until symptoms show.

it seems very unlikely to me that the chinese government could engineer a weaponized coronavirus. they are complex RNA viruses for which the mechanism of pathogenesis is at best incompletely understood. maybe it is possible, but i doubt it.

Well she said over a week so i took that to mean at least 15 days, long enough that she can't possibly have gotten it unless it was injected in her. Or so she said.
