Books On Tape posted: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. One way to save money while getting your protein input in Texas is to feed on the bat colonies of Hill Country. Get a cabin there and you'll just need to visit the civilization when you come into town to buy salt and other supplies.

Mithaldu posted:Actually what do you base that answer on? They're all new deaths that include people that until today wouldn't have been reported as COVID-19 because there were no confirmed tests. The deaths would have just been mystery pneumonia or other categories They can now, going forward, count these likely deaths without a positive test

Mithaldu posted:So option 2 i described. Without anything retroactively done A lot more people are dying at home than can be tested. Today might be the first half accurate number for it. There are hundreds or thousands of other people who died in the last few months that will not be counted. That's the death number for today Functionally the first day where people dying at home count. 60% of crematorium traffic comes from homes Rat fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Feb 13, 2020 |

DID YOU KNOW that Pangolins are the most-trafficked non-human mammal? According to National Geographic tens of thousands of pangolins are poached every year, killed for their scales for use in traditional Chinese medicine for treating ailments ranging from lactation difficulties to arthritis. And for their meat, a delicacy among some ultra-wealthy in China and Vietnam. They are the only animal covered head to toe in keratin scales which are somewhat like gigantic fingernails. Though they look and act a lot like anteaters and armadillos, they're actually more closely related to bears, cats and dogs. THE MORE YOU KNOW *rainbow star*

Rat posted:Without anything retroactively done Edit: I realized that it is possible that if they were doing retroactive work that it may not be complete yet. So a more accurate question is: I expect that the death increases in the following days will end up dropping down again over time, maybe even immediately if they actually did all the retroactive work today, resulting in the deaths delta either being around 100-150 tomorrow or approaching the curve indicated from past days over time. You expect that starting tomorrow the deaths delta will have a new baseline at 240 and start increasing from there, correct?

Since nothing had been mentioned about retroactively counting cases (aside from you) and that would make the numbers look good... not anticipating that announcement retroactively There's a very simple reason i'm assuming that: If you're right about this past day literally having had 240 fresh corpses and each new day after that will have an increasing number of fresh corpses higher than that, then there are at least 1000 corpses currently missing from the totals that everyone is reporting. More scarily, the same logic must apply to the infections, so there would be at least 50000 infections missing from the current totals. And it seems you're suggesting those will never be counted.

Bronze Fonz posted:What makes you think this is beyond the CCP? There's 2 options. Either the people doing the work are largely well-motivated and trying to do the right thing. Or they're allowing an entire city's worth of people to disappear through the cracks, while knowing they're doing so, which would mean they are not having resources allocated nor manpower and that Hubei is intentionally underserved, for no profit whatsoever as they already admitted to having 50k sick. And if that's the case then the decision making process is literally batshit insane and entirely broken and completely out of control. And if i'm wrong and that is the case, then i don't really care and the forum has a good reason to also go batshit insane, so i choose to believe option A, if only because the chinese probably wanna live too. If you know you have 100k sick and you tell your government you need stuff and people for 50k sick, then you're committing suicide.

Update from China: people are so bored staying cooped up in their apartments they're playing the "broom game" and sharing pics on Wechat. The hot new fashion is apparently seeing if you can get your broom stay up perfectly upright. I feel like people are freaking out more about coronavirus outside of China than inside, we're just here bored out of our minds.

#1, look up the size of these cities in china. 100k people is not an overly large fraction #2, even with the previously known cases there were already shortages of resources. i'm sure they've been asking for as much as they can possibly get and in any case even with 100k infected the large majority will survive so it's not like they're all being 'disappeared'

Berlin would struggle hard with 50k people suddenly sick. #2 Ok, i can think of one reason to lie now: Maybe china would just plain drop a nuke on Wuhan if the city gets out of control. That would be good motivation. Which i'm now rooting for, because:
