So I'm just going to assume I'm going to get it, what can I do to boost my immune system and lung health?

When you get it cough on as many old people as possible, there's only a limited number of virus in ur body and the more people you infect the less are in you so you get healthy faster

I'm starting to suspect this is why we see barely any people walking around or driving cars in all the latest wuhan videos

It seems more likely that a quarantine tends to reduce street traffic from their jobs making GBS threads down than wuhan becoming a necropolis

I think China might be messing up the numbers but I also have zero trouble beleiving that the US would insist the plague is contained even as flamerthower armed bands of fanatics go from house to house incinerating anyone they think shows signs of sickness

yeah my guess why theyre ending at a military base rather than an airport is the airport/town complained

Kinda seems wierd they wouldnt do that to begin with. I would think it would be easier to limit exposure to other people at a military base than a local airport

Looking up news on this is oddly calming because i know its bad but its also unlikely to directly harm me severely so it makes a good distraction from other news

between this and the oncoming recession i just have this weird zen calm

a coworker at work was shooting the poo poo with me about corona virus. he asked if it was being overhyped in that obvious way that makes it clear that he, personally thinks its overhyped. I just said yeah sorta, it has the potential to get bad because of blah blah blah and listed out poo poo about how even if its not fatal to people who aren't ancient it'll hospitalize a lot of people and lead to more fatalities due to system overload.

I explained this all extremely casually which seemed to unnerve him. Im not worried, im robust as hell and I have beans. The whole of the country is energized in the face of a tragedy that could have been prevented and from that energy i have a sort of tranquility

this must be how falling off a cliff feels. no point in worrying, might well just enjoy the view!!!
