I remember enough babbling head tv from the 90s about various celebs or models insuring their asses or whatever. Probably applies to people like professional pianists or artists who can afford something so absurd sounding from the start.

I said come in! posted:Everyone is going to be *coughs up blood onto shirt* fine. You'll all see there was nothing to worry about. Saying it'll kill less people than flu yearly in the US is pretty bold when the people infected right now will probably already get to that number even if no one else catches it anywhere.

If your entire livelyhood is based on a certain body part you probably at least want to make sure you have something to land on if it gets hosed up. And you make enough money for it to make sense of course. Nurge fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Feb 12, 2020 |

There's a video going around of 3 kids being loaded into a bodybag on the floor of one of the hospitals. As lovely as that is I thought part of the narrative was that there have been no cases of infection in kids- was this just another thing that the Chinese media wasn't reporting on?

Do we even know, at this point, what the death rate is? Like, if 100 people were infected with coronavirus how many would likely die? Obviously conditions make a large difference there I suppose but it does seem to be quite deadly for those who get itOrnamental Dingbat posted:There's a video going around of 3 kids being loaded into a bodybag on the floor of one of the hospitals.

There's a whole lot we don't know about what's happening in China. A whole lot. Don't know anything about that particular video but it's probably impossible to say whether it is what it claims to be unpacked robinhood posted:Did the AIDS/alopecia treatment cocktail they experimented with ever go anywhere ? Wasn't that in Thailand? Yeah I'm kinda curious about that as well. They claimed that it could essentially cure, or at least protect a person from, the virus.

There have been numerous reported cases of infection in kids, what you probably heard was that they have a much lower rate of serious symptoms, which as far as I know is still accurate

https://twitter.com/DeItaOne/status/1227659145781895169 It's interesting how the WHO boss has switched from the kind of "this is serious but don't panic" PR you would expect to "maybe we should be panicking a bit more actually"

I'm still trying to figure out what happened on Feb 6/7. Its very weird where it was the only day where China only added a few more infections, then the day after went up back to the rate before and after of around 2000 a day. I can't see any scenario where those numbers are accurate, so was it China just wanting a "good day" in the press, or was it maybe the first day off work in the past 2 weeks, for the lab workers at the head testing center so nothing got done?Nurge posted:Someone said earlier the pictures were from carbon monoxide poisoning, not the virus. That was the video of the whole family suddenly dead in the apartment building.

It's in China's best interests to report everything is under control, so the reality is probably that we're all gonna die. Smoke 'em if you got 'em etc.

So those are purely symptomatic confirmations. The way they reach their daily number of confirmed cases changed to exclude positives that would have been counted prior to that date. They're now just positive cases. Positive cases can become confirmed if a patient presents symptoms. That's my understanding Rat fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Feb 12, 2020 |

thing is the only people they tested that didn't have symptoms were those they specifically tracked down as contacts from other infected people, which i have to think is a very small percentage of all the tests they are running, the majority of which are for confirming severe cases. so i'm really not sure how much that change in and of itself will shift the numbers

I went on Amazon and bought a 25 pound bucket of pinto beans, a 25 pound bucket of rice, a 50 gallon rainwater collection barrel that I could fill with a hose. Based on a previous recommendation, bought the 80 gallon BOB that could be placed in the tub, and a propane cooking stove. I’ll buy a propane tank next time I’m near Home Depot. Have about 25 pounds of flour I use to make pasta with, and enough canned veggies and other pantry items that my family wouldn’t have to leave the house if necessary for at least 6-8 weeks if properly rationed, even if utilities were out. I’m not going to go more overboard than that. Cost about $200 for all of the stuff I just bought, and if it proves to be unnecessary, I can water the lawn with the water, use the beans and rice over time, and have a portable stove (can also use butane) for camping. Feel better that family could hunker down in the unlikely event, and that I don’t have to go panic buying anything even if things become evidently serious. Couple weeks ago, I also dropped $170 stocking up on general medical supplies: Masks, warm mister, decongestants, and vapor products to keep lungs clear. Edit: I also live in Texas, and spring isn’t too far off. When at Home Depot, I’ll also invest in seeds. Have a nice garden in the backyard that currently isn’t planted. Would be a good idea to change that this season. Will grow lots of green beans and peas and other veggies that could go well with rice and beans.
