Coronavirus

[rickyb]

I'm gonna go get a shot for this at @rickyb 's neighborhood government vaccination clinic so the privatized vaccination capitalists don't get me. And then maybe eat some Hot Pockets and watch Pinky and the Brain if his mom doesn't mind.

Coronavirus ground zero 'is now a zombieland with dead lying in streets'

Something we need to be paying attention to. Two cases in Chicago already.

Wall Street slides on coronavirus fears, Intel offers support

It’s even affecting Wall Street.

glad to hear wall street is affected. to hell with them

rickyb, if Wall Street collapses and all that wealth is erased then we go back to the basic system of providing labor for food. So what job skills will you survive on ?

Infraction: horrible joke

Agreed who would change from their favorite beer

Wow. Nader must moonlight as Captain Obvious.

China's president Xi Jinping warns killer coronavirus is accelerating as doctor dies and US evacuates its citizens from hotspot Wuhan after death toll jumps to 41 with 1,372 cases and 56 million on lockdown
WOW that quickly has become a crisis

I read there is no vaccine for this and it's still a couple years away.

Read about that the other day. World population was 1.5 billion, 500,000 million infected, 675,000 dead in the U.S. Would have to think we'd have better ways of fighting it today, but in a country as crowded as China with the sanitary conditions they have this could be incredibly bad. African Swine Fever has actually been around for decades but after it got into China in 2018 it killed hundreds of millions of pigs. Not dangerous to humans but demonstrates how intense a serious virus can be in bad conditions.

Think I read that the incubation period for coronavirus can be like 2 weeks. So it's more difficult to contain outbreaks. Regular flu is like 2-3 days to become symptomatic.

Last I heard mortality rate for this was less than half what the SARS coronavirus was.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Even bad zombie movies start out like that.

This will not prevent anything! The virus is spreading via the eyes.

This is literally a South Park episode.

Pinkeye (South Park) - Wikipedia
In "Pinkeye", Kenny is killed and, through a freak accident, he is brought back to life as a zombie and starts terrorizing South Park residents, who believe the rise of the living dead is an epidemic of "pinkeye".

Then China businesses bought up most of the US pig companies and infected them with Swine Flu.
US Officials still say washing your hands with soap & water is still the best protection, but wearing a mask , gloves and covering your eyes are still optional.

People should definitely keep things in perspective. The regular flu killed 61,000 people in the US during the '17-'18 season. And we've got about 1/4 China's population size.

Do your facts include the number of illegals here?

I dunno. I bet there's like 10 billion though! All of the 3 million votes Hillary won by in 2016 wur frum eeleeguls!

Good thing gas prices should go down. It's only 1 confirmed case in suburb of Chicago and 1 in Seattle. The 1 in Chicago is in alexian hospital in Arlington Heights area. She was in Chicago since late December. Time for travel ban from all Asian countries stock up on food and water this is about to be an epidemic quick.

I sure hope @rickyb hasn't already brought the virus home to Canada from one of his CPC observation trips with the comrades.

This virus last I read, came from snakes.

Anyone really interested in this type of thing should read about the Spanish Flu of 1918. 50-100 million died worldwide.

I heard snakes, bats or even a Chinese bioweapons lab. Mass confusion about it.
