Yeah, my going to the store and getting an extra week of groceries was at the behest of my mom, though a main point of concern was just making sure I had enough food and litter for my cat.

Relax Or DIE posted:Yeah I was under the impression that GDQ was a gently caress party for nerds I mean, for a lot of attendees it's one of the handful of times a year they see partners in LDRs so I kind of understand why they get it on a lot. I assure you most of us are incredibly not getting laid E. My sister works in infectious diseases, specifically quarantine, and hasn't sent me anything about covid so it's either not really that bad or so bad she's under gag order from her employeer about it SeXReX fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Feb 29, 2020 |

Diabotical started its closed beta today, there are some bugs and it's definitely a little rough around the edges but the core gameplay is fun as all heck and has a lot of polish on it. there's no thread for games that have risen from the dead that I could see or I would have posted about it where it truly belongs.

Hearing the details of what they're doing in China to stop the spread of covid19 is gnarly and cements my understanding that we're going to hit it pretty hard because no way Americans put up with what they're doing there. It's smart to have a few weeks of food and sanitation products on hand for now. Besides, being prepared and willing/able to follow recommended action is what helps others survive, even if you yourself aren't worried about getting sick.

Oh I'd bet money that nothing too drastic happens to this general games chat thread group. Americans are definitely gonna die though. And a good number of them. Mostly olds, but some younger folks too. Being prepped to respond to the threat is just as much helping slow the spread as it is to keep ones self from getting sick and as much as we can spread it out and slow it's spread, the better our poo poo healthcare system will be able to keep up with it and the better the overall outcome. There's always a chance that as they continue to learn and to try everything to see what sticks that they'll find something that helps. The ONLY short term thing currently being looked at that might help are some anti-malaria drugs that they're testing to see if they help. We'll have that data sometime next week. Maybe that will be a turning point and we'll all laugh about it all but as the situation CURRENTLY stands, there's nothing to suggest in the science, and nothing that the government is yet doing that would lead one to expect anything except unhindered spread for the foreseeable future.

I'll be honest I don't really entirely get how stockpiling a few weeks of food would even help. Like, if an outbreak does occur, its not gonna just last a few weeks right? Its gonna be something we have to deal with for months. At least that was how I thought it was shaping up.

I work nights so my contact with groups of people is pretty non-existent as it is. Plus next week I'll go take my bike in for a tune up and start biking to and from work, which means I'll only be around people at like 9AM one day a week while I go get groceries.

Internet Kraken posted:I'll be honest I don't really entirely get how stockpiling a few weeks of food would even help. Quarantines for people who have been in contact with someone who tests positive are recommended to be 14 days minimum to be sure as the incubation period can be around 14 days from getting the virus to exhibiting symptoms. Further, quarantine of exposed people is necessary because the virus can be passed to others anytime from 24 hours after exposure all the way through, including those 2 weeks before symptoms show up and sick people don't know they're sick. If you're told you're required to quarantine (like the 700 people in New York yesterday), it will be immediately that minute and you'll be glad you have some poo poo to eat. If we as a society move towards large scale containment strategies then that will be 4-6 weeks or more of isolation in homes as they're doing in China, which lol we'll see, but I can definitely see that happening in specific areas that have bad clusters of outbreak like cities. In all cases it'll be best to be set up to comply. Again, this is all stuff that is actually happening in other places already, not hypothetical situations. It just depends on how our totally super capable administration wants to play it, which is another reason why I bought some extra cans of soup and beans this morning.

Do u order from Amazon? Could Amazon be same-day shipping us croney flue direct to our doorsteps? Can we get it from a toilet seat? What about clapping erasers, when I was a kid they always made sure to tell us we could still clap erasers if the other kids had AIDS.

They're not going to shut down for even a second to disinfect anything so it's gonna be a loving mess if it ever gets into the system. e. Watching my friend play Kunai tonight, looks pretty good.

So it's just about time to replace the PC I did all my gaming on, which dates back to 2010. There's a bunch of recent stuff I'd like to play - Control, Black Mesa, maybe Prey or Doom 2016 - but I don't know anything about what the hot new PC graphics gear is. Any recommendations on where to start?

Is the coronavirus something that would even be as dangerous in the USA? I thought that a lot of the issues with it in China stemmed from a combination of poor living conditions, high population density, and not much control over what they can do about it. Was I wrong? I know only what I've read on the forums here and listened to from some podcasts and read in some articles.CharlieFoxtrot posted:I have tried beans with pasta and my brain cannot reconcile it, it recoils the same way whenever I see Brits with beans on toast.

I think a lot of it is gonna depend on where you are in the USA, because "poor living conditions" and "high population density" describes plenty of places here. I'm not super concerned in suburban Connecticut but maybe I should be.

If the Flu can spread in the US then so can the coronavirus. It seems to be mostly dangerous for olds or otherwise immunocompromised people (like me  ) though

Like I'm okay with going and getting a few extra groceries and things that are needed. That's cool. But everywhere I've seen is just 'get 2-3 weeks of food' like it'll be gone/dealt with by then, all while calling Trump a moron for thinking it'll be gone by April. I get it just helps to avoid being around people and whatnot but the specific time gap being suggested has me more confused than anything.
