I guess it could be theoretically possible for a chinaman to sneeze into a box and airmail it to you but uh 99% of poo poo floats over here on a boat for weeks. People must think viruses just stick around indefinitely with no expiration date?

Some virus have a very long expiration date. For instance its theoretically possible to bring smallpox back from extinction. After all viruses dont need to eat drink or breath. Despera fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Feb 29, 2020 |

So, Nigeria has "1 patient", but he's been moving around for 48 hours while sick before they got him in quarantine. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-nigeria/italian-man-becomes-nigerias-first-case-of-coronavirus-minister-idUSKCN20M07D And two people who flew as "cured" from japan to israel turned out to be still/again sick in israel, so the two flights are now suspect as well. https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Third-person-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-in-Israel-619215

Switchback posted:Lol at people in America freaking out so hard about new sars. Like Americans are panicking more than we are here, in Singapore, where there’s a quarantine facility next door to my house, where we actually have loads of cases, in this small rather dense country where most people ride public transit and eat communally. Panic and prepping is in our fabric. Thanks friend, you made me chuckle. One of my favorite trail runs I've ever been on was in the Bukit Timah nature reserve, please go hit that up for me.

Do people in the US actually need to pay to be tested for the virus? I knew the healthcare system over there was cooked but creating a situation where people have an incentive to not get tested and pretend they aren’t sick is next level retarded.

If your test result is negative then clearly the test was unnecessary.
