When the SARS panic happened, one of my friends went to China on a trip and when they came home their family wouldn't let them in the house for a month. People are always panicky and dumb.

Also that you can get Luigi in SMW if you beat the game 10 times in a row with no deaths.

Bardeh posted:I wonder how many people die of regular seasonal flu in Wuhan this time of year - if that number was counted up like the deaths from NuFlu it would probably ease some fears a bit. Flu is nasty poo poo, but is this flu actually nastier than normal once you strip away the hype and rolling news coverage? It's probably about the same. People don't understand risk.

Books On Tape posted:The numbers China is reporting are trash. The real number of deaths is in the many thousands. We’ll probably never know. We have a country that is willing to do everything and anything for their economy (child labor, counterfeiting, sweatshops, currency manipulation just to name a few). You think they will effectively shut down their economy for several weeks and quarantine their largest cities for a virus that has only caused a couple hundred deaths? Not a chance in hell that happens. The numbers they are claiming is a steaming pile of garbage and is intellectually dishonest. No country on the planet (and especially not that country) would be taking the measures that they are if the numbers that they are claiming are anywhere close to accurate. lol

Books On Tape posted:I went on Amazon and bought a 25 pound bucket of pinto beans, a 25 pound bucket of rice, a 50 gallon rainwater collection barrel that I could fill with a hose. Based on a previous recommendation, bought the 80 gallon BOB that could be placed in the tub, and a propane cooking stove. I’ll buy a propane tank next time I’m near Home Depot. Have about 25 pounds of flour I use to make pasta with, and enough canned veggies and other pantry items that my family wouldn’t have to leave the house if necessary for at least 6-8 weeks if properly rationed, even if utilities were out. lol

There Bias Two posted:I'm not saying it should be censored, it's just that there are maybe a handful of people on these forums that have the ability to actually critically evaluate papers in virology/epidemiology and weigh in on whether or not their conclusions are credible. It doesn't make any sense to be sharing it with laypeople, because it has close to zero positive benefit at best and creates a lot of misconceptions and panic at worst. However, idiots panicking over things that they don't understand is hilarious, so I say we give it a pass.

HAM ON THE BONE posted:Or, it could be that the virus can survive for 9 days on surfaces and she re-caught it by touching something in her home. What if all of the “severe” cases we are seeing are second-time infections, and that’s how it kills you. I can think of at least one severe case I’ve read about where the person had the sniffles for a week, felt better for a few days, and then got dramatically worse again and had to be hospitalized. Your immune system doesn't work like this.

Washington is pretty locked down right now. The largest college in the state has gone full online, large gatherings are being canceled left and right, stores are out of many essentials, and masks are everywhere. I'm on vacation this week so it will be interesting watching how things play out.
