https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1231960500335980544?s=20 it's ok folks. we are seeing global spread but not, you know, really wild spread. and yes, there are people dying around the world currently but still, could be worse. so there's really nothing to worry about oh and there's no such thing as pandemics anymore “There is no official category (for a pandemic),” WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said. “For the sake of clarification, WHO does not use the old system of 6 phases — that ranged from phase 1 (no reports of animal influenza causing human infections) to phase 6 (a pandemic) — that some people may be familiar with from H1N1 in 2009,” he said.

I really don't know who they think is going to buy it and not immediately think they're in the Chinese pocket or why you would ever think this is worth trashing your organizations credibility but whatever.

Except the video is still up. And after watching his "cure"* video, if you seriously think he's informative, then i can only assume you watch fox news too. Which is fitting, given this guy likes Quillette, Steven Crowder, Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro and other assorted right wing wonks. * it's a "joke", he's being sarcastic as an excuse to show clips of people misbehaving

So my sister is flying to Indonesia (RIP) for work and i got out some masks from the cupboard since the pharmacies here dont sell any really. I had some dust masks laying around with filters on. are they any good for her to use on the flight? the package says FFP2 but i dunno what that means. http://imgur.com/a/Oy9wn0v

If it's in Iran it's only a matter of time before it hits Syria and the border camps and, uh, call me crazy but I don't really think they're going to be able to do the same kind of stuff to stop it there as they have in China or Italy or whatever. It's a good thing nobody currently in Syria wants to leave or has plans to sneak into other countries unnoticed

It's a good thing nobody currently in Syria wants to leave or has plans to sneak into other countries unnoticed It's in mainland europe. It's everywhere. The italy quarantines are a joke at this point. Just accept it's going to hit every place on the planet that isn't a remote island or something. The fact it started in china was already a near guarantee of that, but mass european cases makes it a certainty. e: And it's not like it's a massive issue anyway compared to the poo poo that's going around anyway. Just another burden on the medical infrastructure. Nurge fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Feb 24, 2020 |

Mithaldu posted:fox news does poo poo on china too, they're just busy with better targets. they're also busy upholding the line that china is "communist" for strategic reasons. I.... kinda see your argument. He spent a ton more of his time covering Taiwan and Hong Kong, shits on them about the treatment of Uighers, surveillance state tech, all that jazz. I don't see how he's a right winger, but using their tactics isn't really surprising because that's what works now. I haven't voluntarily watched Fox in poo poo, probably over a decade, so my assumption is they treat China like it's some dumb kid fumbling in the dark, while this guy talks about who's holding the flashlights.

Panicking is rarely conducive to a good outcome. Also lol at people freaking out over the DOW dropping 900 points. Investors aren't rational, I'd be surprised if it's not up again by the end of the day on people buying the dip. The missus and I are going to be purchasing some canned goods and first aid kits this Friday. Appreciate any suggestions on what meds to stock up on.

bob dobbs is dead posted:mass graves are in the cards, but not riots, probably only a bit of individualized panic and not civilization ending We don't see mass graves from yearly flu and this is a little bit more lethal than that. There's always the chance some places have their healthcare systems overwhelmed, but not most regions. e: I don't mean to seem callous but unless you're crying over the people who die from flu it'd be hypocritical to do so for this. It's on the same level of lethality.
