France getting new cases after so many days is freaking me out

You were saying.....

They are Prepared

 

[Dthomp]

GAF im at the hospital hope i dont catch anything. Saw an asian guy wiping his brow in the elevator god i hope he wasnt infected.

To be honest, I'd be more worried about all the piss he just left on the buttons more then him wiping his brow, but that's just me.

Oh noes, they will have to slash their enormous profits by having to use normal sugar for a change.

They aren't allowed to. The US only allows a certain amount of Sugar to be imported into the country every year and they already set the quotas for what they allow. So unless the FDA changes that you aren't going to ever get real sugar as a common sweetener.

That and all the superbacteriae that are present in hospitals that there are no known treatment for.

The best of Coronavirus panic mode here in Italy

1) Supermarkets with meat/milk/butter sections (and salt too surprisingly) empty in most cities, even those that have few cases or no cases at all

Spoiler

2) Hand sanitizers are extremely rare, prices up to 200 euro on Amazon

Spoiler

3) creative mask replacements

Beware the ides of March.
This thing is just getting off the ground.

Salt in your diet is a necessity. You can get real messed up without enough of it. So it definitely goes on the prepper list.

Don’t you have something better to do? Go lick a doorknob.

I asked for a non exagerrated opinion and the response is 140m people could die.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

You were saying.....

'They are Prepared' is what the UK said I was just pointing that out

not sure what Paris said, but it might have been We Surrender or something

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Germany is also back with a case after this many days of no action damn Milan

If you want to be coddled go check out the WHO’s website.

The UK isn’t prepared at all.

Our hopeless government don’t give a shit. People are just advised to self-quarantine if they come back from holiday feeling ill.

Probably, and then they shrugged.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what is the population of Bahrain?



oy
1.493 million (2017) they fucked

Guess I'll just go back to ignoring it, nothing I can do if everyone on the planet is going to get infected anyway.

Are you over 35?

Are you over 35?

10 years younger

You'll be fine only the old folks like me have to worry as much

and another one

I'm going to go buy canned food, medicine, water, and ammunition today. This is starting to freak me out.

 

[Kadayi]

*IF* we're taking China at it's word, and only 64,786 out of the 58,500,000 people in Hubei Province came down with the disease, that's only a 0.01% chance of even catching it, and 3% CFR makes catching it AND dying from it a MINUSCULE chance in the grand scheme of things. BUT, this is assuming the numbers are correct, and it doesn't really factor in outbreak equations, where perhaps 1 part of town (YOUR PART OF TOWN!) is hardest hit, while other areas might have no one sick.

China went into Lockdown. That's how they've kept the numbers down. Do you think London is capable of that? Or Berlin or Paris?

Good plan but don't forget only silver bullets work on those infected with a virus, brass won't work because of the fever.

Sure they are capable of that, super easy after many painful deaths.

I'm just getting 12 gauge today. I'll check for silver, but if they don't have any I'll just get hollow point slugs.

This is probably backwards but the thing that has me concerned is that the media and the government love to fear monger...but this time we're being told everything's fine?

Who's saying it's fine? Plenty of official communications are telling people to prepare for some degree of interruption of normal life

Hard to tell. We won't know until it's too late I think. I think different areas will manager better than others though.

I don't think this has the lethality to really destabilize a Western power. Really worst case is a lot of sick people and a lot of older dead people, but most working age people will pull through (and yay, Social Security is suddenly flush with cash!)

Podunk countries have the potential to go full tilt and just crumble though, especially if the population isn't informed on what to do (what not to do).

MOST of said podunk countries are around the equator though, so if this thing does get minimized by Summer weather.. they might be ok.

 

[Insane Metal]

There's one suspected case in Brazil now, a man who came from Italy. Fuck. It was taking too long anyway.

just suspected?

 

[Insane Metal]

just suspected?

So far yes. No confirmed cases here yet.

Don't worry excessively over your personal safety. Death has always been an inevitable transition. Make peace with it and be free.

 

[autoduelist]

Alright, without overexaggerating - how dangerous is it really? Because I'm looking at numbers and a 1-2% death rate is about on par with a normal flu.

From what i understand, it seems like only 20% have a severe reaction. Many exhibit only mild symptoms.
But i saw one chart somewhere [i think in a tim pool vid] that showed of 'closed' cases, a much higher death rate. I don't know exactly how death rate is currently figured by cdc.

 

[bitbydeath]

So far yes. No confirmed cases here yet.

Aren’t people coming from everywhere for carnival?

 

[Insane Metal]

Aren’t people coming from everywhere for carnival?

Probably, yeah. We're fucked

Btw someone shit in front of my house a few hours ago. Fucking savages.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

So far yes. No confirmed cases here yet.

Cancel Carnival

 

[Insane Metal]

Cancel Carnival

Our government would never do that. I mean... if there were cases probably, but th way it is right now I don't see this happening.

Welcome to the coronavirus club then. It's just the Flu.(tm)

 

[iorek21]

1.3 million people came to Brazil during Carnaval, 350k italians

We are fucked.

Brasil recebeu ao menos 5,3 mil voos de países em lista de alerta por coronavírus

[Insane Metal]

Preliminary test: positive.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Yeah Brazil really wants into the club

 

[Captain Zyrain]

So what kind of emergencies stores do people have so far?

I have to imagine just with shit we keep in cubbords/etc we probably have a week at least of food. It's not GREAT food, but it's food. Canned shit, pasta, crackers, that kind of stuff.

We definitely do not stock enough water though. Not sure a good way to keep 150 gallons sitting around. (Fish tank?)

BNO stays awesome

Probably, yeah. We're fucked

Btw someone shit in front of my house a few hours ago. Fucking savages.

Was it a firm shit, or a messy one?

 

[cryptoadam]

Just got out of the hospital and grabbed a free face mask. Any Chinese/Iranians/Italians I make you good deal.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

not official on GAF until BNO newsdesk twitter post

 

[Insane Metal]

Brazil is a 200+ million people country with shit infrastructure and poor health system. It's the perfect place for this shit to spread. They better be careful with those confirmed cases or we'll get screwed pretty hard.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

still think Brazil is fucked tho

 

[iorek21]

Okay...

As expected, Brazil is fucked.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Uh....

The first cases were found on 2/21 in Lombardy, so he had to have caught it from someone before then to get back to Brasil and then come down with it.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I live 2 hours from Boston, the near know case from me. I am not shopping for ammo yet but soon

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Uh....

well they could lock him up before he becomes a spreader it will only delay it until Carnival

nevermind Coronaval is going to start trending on twitter
