Not sure that anyone here will readily admit that they visit 4chan. It seems like different spheres of the internet that don't touch, like oil and water.

Probably because 4chan was made by a goon who got banned for being a pedophile, catering to his fellow pedophiles

It's likely a combination of underreporting and high temperatures preventing virus spread. It doesn't handle heat well.

I wonder if there's really "only" 1000 infected in Italy. In the Netherlands now three different people have returned infected from Italy over the past few days. It seems unlikely that they all interacted with the same small group of people with the disease. The real number has to be at least a order of magnitude higher.

Of course not. We're all going to get it.

Let's get clean and smart


In the Netherlands one of the reported cases is a child, but they haven't closed down the elementary school where the kid went, just sent a letter to the parents and told them to be on the look out for symptoms. But they have shut down the daycare. Apparently this family returned from skiing in Italy and the health department is saying 'yeah there's gonna be more cases'.

We did our regular grocery shopping today and I noticed a dent in things like pasta and rice on the shelves, although it felt like there were less people physically in the store than usual.

I broke the gently caress out of my wrist last summer wiping on my bicycle, and (since I knew I have good insurance), called an ambulance. The guys that showed up literally offered to call me an uber instead of take the ride. I said gently caress it, I know I'm hitting my max out of pocket, let's go.

Surgery a week later, pins and a plate deal. Out of work for 3 months. Covered by FMLA so they didn't gently caress with my job at all, my work offers maybe 1/3rd disability pay of what you'd make. Max out of pocket for all this poo poo for me is $2k.

If the people running my place of employment weren't power tripping assholes who put the screws to people for no reason my job would be SUPER GOOD. I know I'm lucky, most people don't have anywhere approaching that insurance, especially for 100/month. Nothing wild for work, I just drive forklifts in giant -20f freezers and load trucks and stuff. (This is why you need a Union at your workplace.)

you are not lucky, you should have paid $0 and you should have been paid whatever you normally make.
Hope this helps.

Hand sanitiser in hospitals has noxious flavouring added to it so alcoholics wouldn't start chugging it (they do it anyway).

That would send the hand sanitizer to your stomach, not your lungs. You moron. You utter loving buffoon

What you need to do is fill a bathtub with hand sanitizer and breathe it into your lungs. I got this idea from watching star wars, George Lucas was way ahead of his time

there's an oddity with the virus where you clear the symptoms but are still infectious afterwards. generally if you're infected you'll start showing symptoms ~5 days in, then you'll be sick for a week or two, then infectious for a few days afterwards

part of why it's spreading so widely is the large incubation period plus it being infectious during that timeframe. you shouldn't get infected again and there's no evidence for that, but you are more vulnerable to other diseases just after it so can catch the cold/flu (or have them all together)

okay, thats useful thanks

i work in a bulk goods warehouse in new zealand, 25kg rice is gone with resupply potentially not til friday, beans are down to individual cans, pasta and every type of uht milk will be gone tomorrow at this rate, but that we hopefully should be able to restock at least once or twice this week

ive never seen anything like this, i advise everyone to take this seriously and get staples now before availability and price start being a serious issue. especially if you live somewhere geographically isolated

4 people have given positive in my country after they returned from Italy. According to the news there was this conference or something, it was work related. During the conference they went to greet this unnamed by the press Italian guy, who had been already infected. Two of them showed symptoms a day after arrival, the other like a couple of days later. Hooray.

Ah, yeah. One of them owns a restaurant/food stand in Mexico City. The number of probably infected people jumped from 22 to 400.

Edit: I think it was TWO guys that went to Italy, they infected their relatives and friends. From that group only other 2 showed symptoms.

Hot soapy water > hand sanitiser if you're at home. The squirty stuff in plastic bottles is for when you're on the move.

Also now is the time to go reading some industrial / medical guides about hand hygiene. Should be able to find a ton of free learning resources online.

"lol I don't need to be told how to wash my hands"

Well apparently the average person does need to be told. Get reading.
