yes.

and it turns out that the only cure is the post completely unsubstantiated horseshit from twitter as fast as possible. every tweet from every rando posting about the sky falling or human civilization ending is 100% true.

godspeed, and may our posts carry us through these trying times

it's almost kind of impressive at how quickly we turn to panic

They have lost control. This will make SARS look like the flu.

Get masks ASAP.

Why? either nothing happens or this really is the apocalypse in which case it's probably better to die in the initial wave anyway

I trust that this will be an apocalyptic pandemic based on CSPAM's record of being right on Hillary 2016, Elob Musk, the economy, war in Iran, Catalan Independence, war b/w India and Pakistan and idk like anything else

War with north Korea.

When there is a flu outbreak, what percentage of people actually end up going to a doctor/hospital versus the number of people who stick it out at home?

stay at home. if you didn't have the virus before the visit then you certainly will afterwards

you're really asking me how a virus that's asymptomatic for 14 days, infectious while incubating, and survives for 24 hours on objects, how something like that could accidentally get out into the wild?

as a bioweapon yeah. presumably it would've been created in some top secret and secure lab, i'm just curious as to how it escapes from said lab

like god drat, lmao, half the threads are "WOW HAHA YES, IT'S IN A MAJOR TRANSPORT AREA, I LOVE PEOPLE GETTING HURT" (someone else will post that report was made up like with the Las Vegas scare but everyone will ignore it), motherfuckers were in here going "THE INSCRUTABLE ORIENTALS HAVE RELEASED A *BIO-WEAPON* TO REDUCE THE SURPLUS POPULATION" and didn't get probed

this poo poo's basically indistinguishable from those loving Reddit subs where you watch people die but oh well! good to know so many of my fellow leftists here are absolutely loving insane sociopaths and that basically nothing matters, lmao
If it helps this thread lost its rational pretty early on and a lot of the really bad stuff appears to just be random tweets that someone found god knows where
