BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Was it here, the CSPAM thread, or some news article which talked about how most of our pharmaceutical manufacturing is based in China now and the feds have never recognized this as something that might be a bad idea. I though that was a good point *taps sign that just says "number"* *points at sign*

I have a native Chinese coworker (now a naturalized us citizen) who genuinely believes this virus was engineered by the Chinese government to specifically genetically target the elderly Chinese population to reduce their drain on public benefits lmao Laterite fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jan 31, 2020 |

Similarly, I've been to both Fred Meyer and Safeway this weekend (I live in Ground Zero of Washington state's outbreak so c'est la vie) and while I saw the expected drawdown of t.p., milk, and rice/beans, all the medication shelves seemed to be as well-stocked as any other given winter weekend. You'd think people would be snarfing up Flonase, Sudafed, NyQuil and the like to deal with, you know, a bad cold/flu.

China is, what, two months into their lockdown now? Has it eased up at all? Thought I read that factories were starting up again but if the rest of the world isn't buying anything then I suppose that's moot. Anyway, we probably won't really know if this has been truly contained there until they open their doors again, literally and figuratively.

Noblesse Obliged posted:The grim reality will be that letting 4 million olds die will be less of a body count than hundreds of millions from societal collapse Yeah my guess is by mid-April state and local governments are just going to start lifting their restrictions and "encouraging" people and businesses to get back to work. The virus will just keep circulating and pushing the bounds of our health care system (lol) & killing people until there's a vaccine. Our system just isn't set up to handle this for very long at all.

lol that the Sturgis motorcycle rally is still going to happen. 200-250,000 Boomers cruising around the streets and partying at the beach for 10 days straight ... what could go wrong? Imagining all the Xennials & Millenials desperately pleading with their stubborn lead-brained parents & grandparents not to go.

Dear Watson posted:Is there actually a decent beach in South Dakota ? Based on pictures and Google Maps there's a couple medium-sized lakes just outside of town that it looks like rally-goers congregate at. S'pose it depends on your definition of "decent". The criteria in this case seems to be, "can I stand around drinking next to/standing in a body of water?".

Honestly surprised there's never been a superbug spawned out of a cruise ship before. Some kind of nightmare hybrid of norovirus, flu, salmonella, and gonorrhea.
