Two of my coworkers were sick today with some coughs and tiredness. Good thing I've started wearing my n95 mask since Monday! Actually I'm not sure I'm even wearing those properly but it's better than nothing right?

China's economy imploding due to this is going to be real weird. They are shutting down cities now and this thing isn't close to peaking or being handled. They can't keep a 100 million people quarantined for like 5 months until they can get a vaccine spammed out to everyone.



Well, I mean I suppose they could but..drat.

they’ll bounce back just fine but yeah I have no idea what their long term plan is here. I really hope it actually isn’t as bad as the data is showing, which afaik no one outside China has died from it yet but that’s a low sample. although I think a lot were hospitalized but that may just be quarantine and observation procedures more so than “help my lungs are liquifying and I have had a 106f fever for 96 hrs straight”

There have been two deaths outside China, one in the Philippines and one in Hong Kong, which is counted as 'outside China' even though there should be an asterisk involved somewhere.

Not really sure where this place is drawing its information from, but the numbers-by-country chart is useful, at least: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Or maybe they can and working 24/7 to produce more and more useless poo poo while the world burns is a lie our rulers have forced on us, maybe China is showing us the world won't actually end if we take a few weeks off

The virus goes after the lungs like SARS did. A LOT of Chinese people (specifically men) smoke, and the air quality in China is generally lovely. No doubt smokers are having a harder time kicking it - whenever someone's compromised, whether it's because of a weakened immune system, lovely hearts, or needing supplemental oxygen because they've got two pieces of wet charcoal instead of nice pink healthy lungs, they're going to be listed as serious or critical depending on the severity and necessity of their care.

Pretty sure the air quality right now is much better so its self correcting.

On the bright side:

China's state media control shows that all that happens in bad times with info control is fake news since everyone is assuming they are getting lied to.

I keep seeing china local posters on twitter posting videos of fires breaking out with no fire department response. Reasons range from protestors, arson, or flammable disinfectants landing in bad places.
