Yeah before it was just "we'd prefer you didnt go to Japan right now" and now it's "ok just don't" Coworker in the desk behind me was talking about prepping and how the Bundesregierung apparently has a guideline that households are supposed to have like ten days worth of food and water per person and lol I have like some noodles and canned peas to last me the weekend? Edit: however I am a goon and thus have tremendous fat reserves at my disposal so we're good Drone fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Feb 28, 2020 |

The 10 day guideline was lowered recently-ish from 14 iirc. It's generally a good idea to store some food in case of natural or man made disaster. A normal Grippe or a WoW expansion could force you to stay inside for a bit.

I bought viruzidales Handwaschmittel last week and watched the Spahn-Video. I will offer - should infections spread (1-2 reported cases in my state at the moment) - all my co-workers extended home office, Abbau von Überstunden or unplanmäßigen Urlaub. My Wertpapiere dropped like it‘s 2008, so I hope I don’t survive this only to die of GroKo-induced Altersarmut.

I've had a proper Grippe once in my life and the anecdotal take-away I have from it is "if you're still functional and not considering legit hospitalization, it's not Influenza". I get that an actual Grippe can verlauf differently depending on person, state of immune system, etc. but no-bullshit-Influenza will actually shut you down until you're good. My old project has a Berufseinsteiger with a huge mundwerk that is of the Schlag that does stupid amounts of unnecessary overtime to make sure he has the most Überstunden in the Projekt at any given time, and will absolutely tell everyone about how many Überstunden they have, because that obviously means they're the hardest-working employee, and they had the gall to call in sick with a case of "the Grippe" not once, not twice, but three times before the Ende of 2019. It was somewhat  in that case.

as a teacher I get the flu once or twice every year, as do most of my colleagues, and yes it absolutely knocks you out for a week or two. but, it's also nice because you don't have to work and you can just lie on the couch all day watching Bruce Willis films

Even with the advantages of vaccines and well-prepared health services it causes a fair number of deaths each year. Having a whole separate flu-like virus going around without either of those protections and more severe side-effects is gonna be fairly serious. Sure, any one of the posters in here is probably gonna be alright, but in the grand scheme of things it's probably gonna kill a whole lot of people.

Healbot posted:Stock markets are barely, if at all, indicative of the job market. I'm going to forego a sarcastic post in lieu of an actual genuine question: Which countries did you think I meant when I posted "countries interwoven into the supply chains of the countries that are at the lowest end of the health-risk spectrum"? Of course the stock market isn't a reflection of "how working-class people are doing", which is why Trump auto-fellating every time it rises is stupid as hell. "The huge market losses" that we are currently seeing are caused by stock holders' reactions to the massive logistical disruptions in "risk regions" where people are actually getting hosed out of their livelihoods in the hundreds and thousands without even being infected due to containment procedures. To say that you love Corona virus because a bunch of stupidly rich folks AT THE END of the supply chains in the richest countries on the planet might suffer some losses (which are going to be completely inconsequential in the long run) is quite possibly the dumbest thing and most white-privilege thing one could come up with, to be quite honest.

I'm not mad about joking about how dumb the reaction of rich-countries is to the virus when you're seeing it in your day-to-day life, because Galgenhumor and all, but after seeing several counts of legit-unfiltered racism under the guise of "caution", as well as hearing testimonials from my friends in Korea and China has quite desensitized me to joking about the virus and the damage it's doing in less-fortunate regions on the planet. Anyway, I'm not trying to bum out the thread, here's a picture of my chilis ready for deployment into the große weite Welt. Sent them on their way this morning, and I'm sad to see them go.

It was a pretty dumb post even for Oliwan and your reaction is normal for everybody who isn’t completely clueless about the economy. I’ve read so many dumb CTs on Corona (it’s big pharma trying to turn a profit/ it’s Allah smiting the Uigur-oppressing infidels/it’s dumb Asians eating bats) that I’m glad for any voice of reason.

It's a sad state of affairs for sure, but you missed oliwan being a sociopathic teacher paying lip service to leftist ideas while laughing about workers getting hosed over. Also Erlangen got their first COVID-19 case, a dermatology professor got infected by an Italian colleague during a conference in Munich and there is a big panic at the Uniklinik I work at.

The notion that a soaring stock market is "good" for a nation is almost always stupid, because it does not reflect the issue of the Einkommensschere that adversely affects the people of that nation. The inverse assumption is a huge issue in this case, because a) assuming the stock market crashing in wealthy nations only affects wealthy stockholders is horseshit, and b) the reason the stock market is crashing in this case is almost exclusively found in non-rich countries already being supremely-hosed The stock market isn't taking a hit because rich olds are scared because Corona may affect them disproportionately health-wise. The stock market is taking a hit because rich olds (and everyone else) are seeing that containment measures in the poorest and/or most at-risk countries are affecting the amount of profits they can earn. Their reaction is to sell off stock, earning them more money (albeit not at the profit they projected initially), that they will reinvest in other stocks. The effect of an irrational panic in rich countries (the ones predominantly and disproportionately affecting said stock prices while not being exposed to the same health-risk) compounds the impact on the at-risk regions. Cheering for Corona because one's trivial meme-oriented mindset is limited to stock-market-falls=rich-people-lose-money/die-off is comically stupid to an extent that it escapes words Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Feb 28, 2020 |
