If it helps this thread lost its rational pretty early on and a lot of the really bad stuff appears to just be random tweets that someone found god knows where

My wife had pneumonia earlier this month (and has asthma) and I'm in Chicago so this is the most nervous an outbreak has ever made me

I mean, jesus, why am I even replying to the most ghoulish guy in the loving thread, loving bloodthirsty rear end in a top hat

ok you get the special treatment of Seriousposting

crack ping is a trump thread joke about the constant barrage of serious and/or bizarre news overwhelming people's minds

you can check my post history in this thread, it's 90% posting news updates and telling smug dismissive idiots that this is going to be worse than they're writing it off as. in literally none of these posts am I actually cheering for people to die, this poo poo is awful, even getting hit by this poo poo and surviving is going to be awful, pneumonia is horrible to deal with, and this has a good chance of leaving survivors with permanent respiratory damage, which is probably even worse than dying (look up a documentary or two on people living in iron lungs)

please chill out and quit harshing the buzz. it's a lot healthier for people to laugh at this poo poo than work themselves up into panicked paralysis. especially given that this thing spreads from presymptomatic hosts there's not really much we can actually do about not/catching it, particularly at the individual peasant level which is what every single one of us posting here is. if you find a director of medical policy here or a mayor or state governor or something then let us know so we can tell them to take this really seriously!!!

i think there's a misreading of the tenor of c-spam in general itf, though i can understand that people posting "lmao this owns" in response to bad things can cause a misreading if you're not steeped in the cancer that will ultimately kill the forums.

i would, at minimum, add an asterisk to pretty much every statistic post that there's a ton of very important information we don't have and don't know. we shouldn't be talking about mortality or hospitalization rates with any sort of objective emphasis because there's a ton about the way things work right now that we don't understand.

past number go up and it looks like it can be quite dangerous and is quite contagious, trying to say this has a 5% mortality rate or 10% hospitalization rate or w/e is very wrong. We don't even have a good way to know how many actual confirmed cases is because the process by which China is "confirming" cases is so far behind the virus as it currently exists.

this poo poo's basically indistinguishable from those loving Reddit subs where you watch people die but oh well! good to know so many of my fellow leftists here are absolutely loving insane sociopaths and that basically nothing matters, lmao

you can tell this is serious because normally these threads are people smugly dismissing that any of this matters, now those posters are Really Mad people are pointing out that hey, this is serious.

my mother is a 61 year old flight attendant. i absolutely want this to be contained and stopped because i know her airline will not stop working until its too late and she has a very good chance of getting sick. also because im not a monster in general and dont want hundreds of thousands or millions of people to die. other people can have different senses of humor. if you dont like ironic gallows humor than idk, just read the news updates because what else is this thread supposed to be? coldly posting tweets about the latest spread until were in a tent dying of pneumonia?

e: that said people posting the bioweapon poo poo should probably be probated at least for being loving dumb
