It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

What the hell am I looking at here? Is that showing permanent damage to the lungs caused by this? Like there is no full recovery?

Lungs often take multiple months to heal. Severe cases of pneumonia can cause scarring to the lung or the pleura, but its rare.

Usually that’s with bacterial pneumonia’s and the nasty fast growing stuff like MRSA. Viral pneumonia can cause it too but where you get really screwed is the viral pneumonia that gets co-infected with something terrible like MRSA or hospital acquired pseudomonas.

40% of the population with a 2% fatality rate would be 56 million people. I would imagine it would be a higher rate once health systems are overwhelmed and especially in developing countries where they barely exist in the first place and sanitation is much worse.

Sure, but they did a lot of this stuff when SARS hit too. Imagine if we had twitter back then when SARS killed almost half of everyone over 60 years of age. My wife was locked up for like two months back then when the scanners at the airport flagged her as having a fever. If we had the same level of social media back then Prester Jane would have had a heart attack after a few days of SARS news.

This is much bigger but a big part of it seems to be how ineptly the local government in Wuhan responded in the beginning. Thus the purges we see now.

On the contrary, stocks care. They're up uP UP. Even Chinese ones are barely down given the circumstances.

I don't understand it either.

The Chinese stock market doesn't really matter since the majority of the corporations are being funded by the state bank.

the wuhan flu is, in fact, an engineered virus. what nobody knows is that it's engineered to keep dead bodies buying and selling stocks even long after we're dead. billions of skeletons throwing "money" at screens, dancing money dances in the stock exchanges, and partying like it's 1999 until the end of time.
