pangolins have tits

heres the chinese classification of animals:

Those that belong to the emperor
Embalmed ones
Those that are trained
Suckling pigs
Mermaids (or Sirens)
Fabulous ones
Stray dogs
Those that are included in this classification
Those that tremble as if they were mad
Innumerable ones
Those drawn with a very fine camel hair brush
Et cetera
Those that have just broken a carafe
Those that, at a distance, resemble flies

pangolins are definitely classed as Mermaids then, they've got both tits and scales.

Yeah but I came across this which I guess with all the other news isn't that extraordinary.

quote:

Nearly a third of the confirmed coronavirus cases in Tianjin, a city of more than 15 million about 70 miles southeast of Beijing, have been linked to one department store, adding to fears about rapid transmission in tightly clustered communities.

Of 102 confirmed cases in the city, at least 33 patients worked or shopped at a department store in the Baodi district, or had close contact with employees or customers, according to the Tianjin health authorities. Many of them had no history of travel to Wuhan, the city where the outbreak emerged. Officials estimated that 11,700 customers had visited the shopping complex during a period in late January. The authorities said that those customers would be quarantined, and that the store itself, which they did not identify, had been sealed and disinfected.

They're going to quarantine 11,700 customers.

According to Laurie Garrett, one of the world's preeminent experts on global public health issues, in an interview on the below podcast episode, the virus peaking news is nothing more than a mathematical model and has no basis in fact at this point based on the evidence.

quote:

Coronavirus has a new name: Covid-19. It has infected over 50,000 people and taken over 1,000 lives. But the crisis may be just beginning. And the response of governments from China to the United States may be only be making its potential toll worse. We speak with Pulitzer Prize winning science writer, Laurie Garrett, one of the world's preeminent experts on global public health issues about just how bad the situation is and about some of the most egregious missteps of our leaders to date. We also discuss the fact that as of right now there are multiple serious epidemics occurring simultaneously placing the global health system under unprecedented stress--a situation we could have prepared for but did not. Essential listening.

That is, if the NK guard was able to buy bullets this year.

maybe, maybe not, but would be possible. if people are being quarantined at home and suddenly someone needs to be in the ICU, they're probably going to die. and there are a whole lot of people quarantined at home right now

i saw that new daily cases were down again, but also saw that asymptomatic yet positively tested infections won't be counted anymore

so either somehow the plan is working and the outbreak is slowing, or the numbers are being massaged to fit a storyline. time will tell!

If someone needs to be in an ICU after being hospitalized but you were to put them at home magically, they would be dead. The people in the ICU from pneumonia will be breathing from a machine that no one can have outside of a hospital.

It wouldn't surprise me if the videos were real; whether they're infected or not, people will still die from all sorts of causes and since everywhere is basically quarantined of course they're dying at home. Also, yeah, if this has a >10% critical care rate for elderly people then old people quarantined at home are possibly dying in droves, and something needs to be done about that

And you know what birds really love? Empty-as-gently caress streets. "They're attracted to all of the dead!!!" is just alarmist bullshit

Reports say that the virus is like SARS in that kids who catch it most often come out okay. Your 2 year-old is almost definitely going to be fine even if they catch it. I'd be more concerned for your 2 year-old's grandparents. I say this as the proud owner of a 3 year-old in a major international tourism destination

Remember, hospitals in China aren't just treating coronavirus patients right now; if those kids died of cancer or something they'd still need to be taken away

The dead kids are from carbon monoxide, the guy who posted it updated.

Now that I think about it getting shut indoors 24/7 in China has some risks that we never think about in the US. So kinda related to coronavirus, but also not.



Crows OTOH are plotting the doom of mankind and definitely colluded with the bats. Why else would a big group of crows get together and caw ominously?

Thats what I thought until I saw that video of they putting dead kids in the same body bag.

I think thay crow video is fake. The prospective is off.
