I'm an Australian about to be quarantined under enforced lockdown. They're going to seal us off in our own suburbs because the collosal fuckwits in our population refuse to stop congregating in large numbers. Our shelves are empty. Food in the cities is becoming scarce. But nobody is treating this like a Pandemic. My own father told me today it's "nothing". He said he wasn't changing his behavior because nobody else it. All the cafes and shops are full. The Italians are screaming at us over the internet that this was the mistake they made. In a nutshell, we're fucked. Under a dozen deaths so far because the infected are still ariving by the dozen and out ships are releasing the sick into the public and our airports are doing NOTHING at all. They're not even checking temperatures or wearing gloves while handing out DIY self-help cards to new arrivals.
How are things in America? I just looked at the cover of Fox News (pic related) and it looks like you've shut down some of the major roads. What's going to happen next? You Americans seem to be ahead of us with taking this thing seriously. At least you have that going for you.
pretty much everyone is just staying at home here. I went out to pick up some extra groceries yesterday being the first time out of the house since last Wednesday, and there weren't many people, just about everyone is wearing masks and rubber gloves and the groceries stores are sanitizing shopping carts and the store seemingly regularly
Colton Robinson
I took this picture today up at Terrigal (which is a busy beachside community about one and a half hour's drive North of Sydney. All the beaches there were filled with people. The cafes and shops were busy and in some places people were shoulder-to-shoulder.
The government and health-department have declared that people aren't to be withing 2 share meters of another person. But nobody seems to be listening. No masks. Nobody has any. The Chinese bought them all up and shipped them back to China. No hand sanitizer. The Chinese bought all those too and shipped them back to their contacts in Mainland China.
Lots of SICK Australians coughing everywhere. You really notice it when someone coughs. Some of them a clearly very sick. But nobody cares and everyone I spoke to said they weren't worried and that it was nothing to worry about. They all agreed that the fears of a Pandemic are "probably exaggerated and overhyped.
I fear we will be hit very hard by this thing. Australians have a lot of aged people in our population. Lots of diabetic and overweight people too. Plenty of genetic and imported diseases that put them in the high-risk for dying category.
Anyone with an eye on the Virus and its behavior want to take a calculated guess as to how bad it will hit us?
Yeah in the last 2 weeks we have begun taking it seriously. I'm actually really surprised that we're actually taking some appropriate measures, I never would have thought any of this would happen because the appeal to normalcy is generally so strong. The most drastic measures are being undertaken by state governors, with the federal government supporting them. I've never seen the federal and state governments cooperate like they are now, or Dems and Republicans cooperating so much either. Food supplies are returning to normal now because stores are implementing limits on the number of items you can buy.
Jose Cook
Why hasn't it exploded there already though? You've had it as long as anyone and a fifth of your population is Asian.
No one is using masks in the US either. Our CDC says that they don't help, and that it's more important that doctors and nurses have adequate supply. >masks don't work >but our medical staff need them
Adrian Torres
>Food supplies are returning to normal now because stores are implementing limits on the number of items you can buy.
Good to hear. It broke my heart to see elderly people wandering in the empty food isles and unable to buy toilet paper. Here's a picture I took last night in my normally very active shopping center. All the meat, milk, canned foods, cereals, biscuits and soda was completely cleaned out. Here's the frozen food section. It's annoying as hell because you have to buy either things you wouldn't normally eat or you just have to leave without anything. For what is there, the prices are getting stupid. Hope it doesn't last much longer. A lot of people have no money saved up to buy weeks of groceries in the even that they're under lockdown and have no income since most jobs are ending.
>terrigal Beach bogans. The cities are getting more empty.
People are still enjoying the warm weather. wait until it gets cold. Will explode down here in pozzbourne. Our hospitals won't be able to cope. Govt is slow walking the restrictions to avoid panic.
Nathan Brown
>Why hasn't it exploded there already though? You've had it as long as anyone and a fifth of your population is Asian.
It's spreading VERY quickly. Australia has over 874 confirmed infected today yet there was only about 60 a week ago. There's something like 8 or 9 deaths now. But the sick folks are overwhelming the hospitals. The pandemonium in all the doctor's surgeries and the fear of medication running out is a concern. Out friend who are doctors and nurses have all told us that they're working double and triple shifts and are already overwhelmed... even though the virus has barely impacted us yet. They found a group of 10 Americans in Victoria who were doing this wine-tour across all the wineries here and they were infected. One hairdresser came from Iran and she infected people. A single doctor who returned from a trip to Italy infected a bunch of people in the hospital. At least several of our armed servicemen are under quarantine after testing positive. They just let the passengers from 4 different cruise liners release their passengers and later a whole lot of them were confirmed to have the disease. It's spreading too fast. But it's far to early to be seeing many deaths yet. Another two weeks will make things very interesting.
The OFFICIAL estimate of dead in Australia is expected to be between 50,000 and 150,000. This may change if the system is overwhelmed.
The news earlier today in Sydney was reporting that Australians were ignoring ALL the quarantine warnings. It was a hot day in Sydney so they all went to the beach and the movies and to the cafes etc.
Food situation is supposedly getting better as the supermarkets close earlier to allow restocking and enforced limits, supply chains get up to speed. I'd say stock up as much as you can before the real shit hits the fan, risks of going out get too high
Caleb Jones
Yeah mate I live around tezz and you can tell no one takes it seriously. They've run the shelves dry at supermarkets but have called it a day when it comes to actually preventing themselves from getting the disease in the first place. I know dumb thots going out tonight and mingling with hundreds of other people (who are also immunocompromised because they're drunk) because they "want to make the most of it before all the clubs close". Central coast only has a few cases but it's more than zero and those numbers are only gonna grow exponentially. We think we're untouchable because we're out of the city but don't realise how large our local population really is.
Adam Sanders
If its anything like all other respritory diseases this is still usually our respite time in southern hemisphere. It seems to be holding as well to that that while we are seeing it spread its not as bad as northern hemisphere countries - for now.
Give this a couple of months once we start getting into Winter and our usual cold and flu season this will spread like northern hemisphere then we're really fucked.
Easton Johnson
what are you so worried about? if they close the gym you can start worrying. until then shut the fuck up
Andrew Rogers
The WHO finally came clear and said it isnt that they dont work. It's that there isnt enough. Thank god thought we were in bizarro world there for a second
Driving home today. Have like 500 cases in my city. That's the ones they actually test too. Fucking normies out drunk everywhere. Non-white old people also all still out wandering around for no reason. Our state government let in hundreds of corona fags only a few days ago despite national border shut down because of sheer incompetence. Feds refused to shut down borders despite pleas from the populace and let 30k chinese migrants in who promised they weren't sick. People under self isolation orders flagrantly ignoring them and police do nothing. Normie retards packing beaches and pubs. Spastics still can't figure out how to shop like humans and coofing on each other for an extra 700 rolls of toilet paper.
I'd say a lockdown is inevitable at this point. But I need my crown (toof) finished on Thursday. Hopefully they let me do that.
Leo Butler
America is probably going to be hit the hardest of any country eventually. Enforcing a sufficient quarantine here for long enough to stop the spread is basically impossible. There's gonna be too much refusal to obey or even care.
Alexander Lee
Also I love how fuckers are absolute mad hoarding panic buying like it's the end of the world...and then immediately go to Grans for a party or head to the beach with 100k other people and ask why no one is allowed at the footy. Literal mouth breathing sub-humans.
Kayden Ortiz
My state has one going into effect tonight. I'm not complying
Christian Richardson
That is what the ice cream section of one of my local stores looked like.
Nathaniel Young
Wait why was this boat allowed in? Did they break the law and just come in anyway?
Brayden Flores
I work in a supermarket. What shocks me is how most of the migrant Asian workers with me are pretty cautious and worried. But all the wogs and Aussies, especially customers literally have zero fucking regard for anyone. Just up and cough everywhere. No attempt to cover it up. Still get right up in your face or lean in to people. They are literal pigs.
Henry Rodriguez
I normally stay inside, but plan on going out throughout this entire fake flu bs
Bentley Cooper
I think it has. I live in an inner city, heavily Asian neighbourhood in Sydney. About 3 weeks ago there were TONS of sick people. They just don't get tested and carry on. Sort of like how we're supposed to believe Indonesia has a handful of cases.
Colton Morris
Half of them aren't Australians. Mostly tourists. That we let in. They interviewed an American girl who was meant to be in self isolation (remember a huge number of our cases now come from America) and she literally said she did not care what happened to Australians as she was unlikely to suffer too badly from the disease.
Jaxson Kelly
Apparently sleeper agents are storing all our food and supplies in warehouses for china or maybe just for ccp chinese only after australia collapses. Hell it might be being stored for invasion or maybe its to hurt australians. Pic related, part 1/2
Stay home. Four weeks. All will be better by summer.
Angel Robinson
Nope. Despite the ban, state gov ruled them low risk. Minimum 4 cases confirmed onboard and one flew to Tassie. They let another boat dock before that, prior to the ban but well after things had gotten out of control...150 sick on board, now dispersed back into Australia. Our government is grossly incompetent and doesn't give a shit. They seem to think the biggest fall out will just be a lost election. I doubt they realize how angry people are going to be after this.
Brayden Martinez
I agree user, I think Australia is going to be hit hard. I was very sceptical when I first heard about the virus, but within the last week I have really had great concern.
Right now I believe there is a cover up in statistics. Australians are notorious for putting our heads in the sand. I have a friend in QHealth in Gatton who says they have had several cases tested. Only one so far has been confirmed (a kid). They said the other cases were just told to go home for four days - they included a teacher, a few elderly.
Toowoomba is preparing to not treat anyone over the age of 65 for the virus. Yes, that’s correct. Toowoomba has an elderly population so if that’s true they’re legit fucked.
There was a case in Bundaberg where an oral nurse assistant was confirmed to have it. She was working as an oral nurse whilst she had it. Treated countless patients. Yep... I’m sure it’s all fine in the hospital where “Doctor Death” was hired...
I feel Australia is in for a huge shock in the next ten days.
Gabriel Gonzalez
Orange County California reporting here. Even though we're supposed to be sheltering in place, things haven't changed. Restaurants, bars, and movie theaters are closed. Our government told us only a central businesses are allowed to be open, but it's a gray line what's considered essential here. Driving around yesterday, I saw donut shops, piano shops, craft stores, and pawn shops all open. Plenty of traffic on the road. We're not taking this seriously here, and this is going to lead to martial law. Good luck Auzi
Hopefully it's ten days. Want my tooth fixed before lockdown. I got food for me and my gf for a month. Our fat lazy leftist roommate has no food or medicine because "it's the governments job".
Brayden Harris
The virus is fake. It's chink propaganda to shut cause chaos and shut down the western economy
Robert Kelly
It's a matter of priority. It is more efficient to first give masks to carriers and those who contact with a lot of people. But then anyone could be an asymptomatic carrier. Governments just try to hide the fact that they fucked up on a very important supply.
Camden Gutierrez
Fuck off. This thread has been good, cunt,. There’s countless other threads where you can discuss that.
Brody Hernandez

The smart ones i know have been using this as an opportunity to fix things around the house, read a book, and have dinner with their families.
The dumb ones, i don’t know what they’re doing.
Thomas Rivera
You need to understand, a lot of these pictures are photoshopped or taken at an exact opportune time... I'm essential service (hospital support) and the roads are still packed, public tourist locations are low but not empty... I don't know when these photos are taken, but they are not realistic.
We knew we were fucked in January, but I didn't think global misinformation would become this bad between then and now. We're raked.
Hudson Robinson
Btw live in a medium sized college town. With the college closed 90% of the students have ditched and it is finally nice going for a walk in the park and taking ducks
Get ready to hide your food and deal with a starving fat roommate. You may have to kill and eat him as an act of compassion.
Justin Carter
I'm still employed and the grocery stores are still open, stocked, and hiring. 10% of the country was laid off yesterday though. So, not a hellscape quite yet, but not out of the woods yet either.
Kayden Cruz
If people keep dying, the lockdown isn't working. Why bother with it?
Easton Gonzalez
My fuckin boomer parents are still shopping every day, still out dicking around like it’s no big deal. Oh but they wanna borrow most of my guns but refused to buy some two months ago when I told them to. My mom bought fuckin couches
Daniel Thomas
Shelves are empty of the most-wanted non perishables, water, tp, and cleaning supplies just like everywhere else. Schools, restaurants, churches, events etc.. all closed. State govt is telling people to stay home if possible- no direct order yet. I’m in Pinal county AZ by the way. Getting pretty frightening. If they don’t shut courts down I’m asking for an extension or just plain ignoring my court date. I’m not going to jail in this shit if I don’t have to; I’ll eat the warrant at a later date.
Michael Baker
It’s a regular busy day in my retirement town... boomers driving around in their collector cars.. etc
Jonathan Brown
Its bizarre. The internet is canvassed with coronavirus, but IRL its life as normal, except for the shops running out of a lot of stuff. The roads and public places are still packed with people, everyone I know is still going to work, and people roll their eyes if you mention coronavirus. Am I living in an untouched bubble?
Samuel Adams
Yep. Gardener crew out this morning spreading the plague house to house here in OC. Dog walkers every 5 min. Gonna get ugly

What makes you think so? IMO the real clusterfuck would come when the virus hit s African nations. The whole sub-Saharan countries don’t have a basic test kits let alone ventilators. Idk but I feel like this whole mess is gonna have an equal economical disaster as the WWII aftermath. God help us all
Christian Garcia
That and schools/restaurants closing en masse. >hurr durr happening fags BTFO It’s happening.
Matthew Gomez
Small town america is fine. Shelves are full. Toilet paper gets stocked daily but idiots keep hording it. People are upset at the government overreach. This virus is a nothing burger to americans. We fought and died for our freedom, we face crooked politicians everyday, you think a nothingburger virus is going to scare true blood americans?
Jordan Walker
We live in one of the most self-centered places in America. Coronachan will have to fully face fuck the boomers here before they let it affect their perfect little self centered fairytale lives..GL user

No I work in a grocery store we are full. Save a lot on the east coast. The only thing we can't keep on the shelves is TP. If you think this is real come back in a year and apologize to everyone for being a retarded faggot.

I’m sorry that you’re pathetic penal state isn’t taking this seriously because it’s already been CHINKED.

Hudson Perez
>stocks down 40% >millions laid off in a week Yeah, it’s a nothing burger. I apologize. You are clearly much more intelligent than me. Are you friends with Q or something?
That's how it should be. Look at Italy. Virtually everyone dying is old as fuck. This is our one chance to fix things like social security and Medicare, and instead we're crashing the global economy and shutting down the planet so some 80 year olds won't die.
Without the panic and lockdown, Coronavirus would have been the greatest thing ever to happen to the economy.
Brody Cook
have to confess just started banging a deli worker. She got a freezer full at home and ton of canned goods. I never though I would say "who does your groceries belong to bitch" during sex. am i the bad guy?
Nathan Young
I live in NYC which is a hot zone for this shit. I haven't left my apartment for anything other than groceries all week.
Blake Nelson
I’m in a relatively small city in Arizona. Everywhere I go it is cleaned out of TP, cleaning products, water, and most of the popular non-perishables. Pretty much all that’s left is diced tomatoes and shit. But, no, you know better than me I think you can see my community from thousands of miles away
Juan Sanchez
What does this have to do with a fake virus? I am so happy stocks tanked I will make a small fortune. Also I wish my job would lay me off enjoy the time off.

American's have been indoctrinated with plague apocalypse media and movies for years. Most of the citizens who been watching this stuff for 10+ years aren't fucking around. Most of us live decent lives and don't want to die. A lot of the sub 100 IQ people think the world might end so they are prepping like it...good for them.

Nathaniel Brooks
Anyone noticed all the tiny red dots (indicating outbreaks) in Africa on the COVID-19 map this week? Virtually every country has an outbreak. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when these superstitious Africans are dealing with an invisible hand that slaps them down. I read that a lot of Chinese were working in these countries. You may also remember that one group of Chinese were eating their black workers (the images of their victims decapitated heads plus the arrested Chinks in cuffs are on the internet).
I think this might force a new wave of migrants. I'd be surprised if it doesn't. Everyone I know in finance is scared shitless that the financial collapse will trigger a recession (which is already happening) which will result in a Depression. Can you imagine if that shit happens? And it's not just possible, it's probable.
Australians still have a lot of firearms (though nothing compared to the US). Of the 800,000 firearm owners here, I'm told by some of them that Ammo is flying off the shelves and people are buying shotguns whenever they can. It's like they think it will get to that stage of having to defend their homes. But we don't have castle laws like America has. So that won't pan out so well. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm about to start wearing one of my hunting knives on a belt when I'm at home. Just on the odd chance shit happens.
Isnt it summer or fall there now? Wait til it gets cold
Landon Mitchell
Low down that arrogant whitety. You are underestimating the nigger real hard when the times come they will not hesitate to shoot down all the infected. They have a lot of history when it come to this shit.
The social situation isn't bad. The economic situation is a powder keg waiting to explode in about 3 months. And looting in major black areas are about 6 days out. Something you don't have to worry about.
Julian Ortiz
I’m comfy. My wife and I bought at least a month supply of food, water, hygenics, weed, cigarettes, medicine, and booze. There is no official lockdown in my state- but we are both on fixed income so we can stay home as recommended. It’s day 4 of self-isolation
Landon Roberts
> weed, cigarettes You should avoid smoking. If anything try to vape or bake. You might need your lungs.
Liam Flores
>That's how it should be. Look at Italy. Virtually everyone dying is old as fuck. This is our one chance to fix things like social security and Medicare, and instead we're crashing the global economy and shutting down the planet so some 80 year olds won't die
No. The Hospitals in ITALY are FILLED with young people. 80% of the patients are younger folks. They've clogged the system over there.
Your comment seems hollow because your FRIENDS will have high risk if diabetic, overweight, suffer MS or immune issues, smoke, drink etc. You could kill parents, grandparents and anyone in the high-risk category.
Wow how incredibly innovative and exclusive! You fucking Mexicans are a rung under the Chinese buying up all the toilet paper. You short ugly brown vermin, scattering the floors of Costco looking to “git mmiiiiineee”, fucking disgusting parasites. At the the Chinese have an economy and reason to be so shitty. Beaners just smell and cut grass.

Australian women are so hot. Even the fat ones. You know why? They aren't covered in tattoos and piercings like American women. COVID-19 is about twice as deadly in men as it is in women. If you have excess women when this is all over, I will gladly take one of them.
