Starting to think they are using this as a chance to get a bunch of 80 plussers off the Healthcare network. Denmark went from 262 cases yesterday, to 442 cases today.

Hobo Clown posted:I gotta fly to Florida sometime in the next couple weeks for work. I have no reason to think I've been exposed (more than anyone else at least, it's everywhere but there isn't a confirmed case in my office or neighborhood or anything), but I'm still wondering if I ought to track down a couple masks for the flights just as a precaution. Don't want to freak out other flyers though. If this flight is scheduled for two weeks from now, don't worry. You won't be going.

My husband had a good point that we will need more to do than video games when poo poo hits the fan, so I bought some puzzles during my daily prepper run. I bought one with orcas jumping out of the water in the moonlight. Then I bought a real big one of Las Vegas in case no one ever gets to travel again.

They wouldn't have needed to even eat the animal to get the disease it could've been caught in many different ways including just being near to the infected animal because those markets are so disgusting and unhygienic

This thing is a pretty grim teaser trailer for an actual world ending disease. It’s basically turbo flu but it’s already completely out of control and unstoppable. Kinda makes you wonder whether we’re overdue for a mass humanity purge.

Oh duh important to note: mom is a lifelong fanatical Christian Scientist- you know, the cult that doesn't believe in medicine or the germ theory of disease? That's helpful during our fights She's super loving rich HA well was, she just lost a fuckton in the market but I do not at all like my chances; she's lived a completely drug free life while I smoked for 30 years and had untreated hypertension for 25. So there is no upside, I've always known she will outlive me.

While there is a decent chance this outbreak started at an exotic meat market, thats not really the only way this kind of poo poo can jump to humans. MERS, which was a very similar virus, broke out in Saudi Arabia from just being around camels enough for the virus to get lucky enough to mutate and spread to people.

SLOSifl posted:The map that shows COVID-19 cases is actually just a map of test kit locations. Yeah, for reference the University of Washington has capacity to run about 1000 tests per day. That's about what the entire state of California can run, and more capacity than all other states combined. So no wonder we're at the center of the outbreak.

Hazo posted:Can someone give me a good succinct link that explains in simple terms why this is so god drat stupid? So imagine that ground zero of an outbreak was Grove Park, Atlanta and the disease was chicken-related. It would be super loving racist to make a crack about the disease coming from black people eating so much fried chicken. Even though that part of Atlanta is very african-american and fried chicken is popular to eat there. Bird flu doesn't come from eating chicken, it comes from bad livestock practices. Coronavirus didn't come from eating bat soup or stir-fried pangolin, it comes from putting live wild animals into a market with terrible hygiene practices. China needs to fix their wet markets in general and probably their practice of eating random wild animals. That's not racist. Ted Cruz's "Chinese people eat weird things!  " joke is racist.
