I'm worried about the coronavirus. They said it was just a flu, that it was only in China, but every day there are more cases and deaths. First Italy exceeded China in cases and deaths. Now the United States has the most cases in the entire world. The stock market is in free fall. America went from "hoax" to "nothing to worry about, it'll be over soon" to "Try this shady drug, what have you got to lose?" A few people are still in denial but everyone else is waking up. I think the only people still denying it's a problem are people who live in the middle of nowhere who have been completely unaffected by it. Businesses are shutting down, events are being canceled, people are out of work. Governors are ordering statewide lockdowns. The only countries that have managed to avoid having much trouble are ones that went on lockdown immediately. It's getting worse and worse.
I'm worried about the coronavirus. They said it was just a flu, that it was only in China...
US has it the worst because it's ran by retarded boomers. It's flu++ and ruining the economy for the next decade isn't worth saving 100 old people.
I hope you seriously dont believe anywhere has exceeded how hard Chinas getting hit by this still.
If China is still being hit by it after months then America should be very fucking worried considering how hard it is hitting America.
>Italy exceeded China in cases and deaths
No, Italy exceeded the number of deaths.
They still need 22000 more infected to beat China's official numbers.
Also, user...this only started.
China, despite what they say is still not back to normal, it's slowly starting back up again, but by no means back to normal.
We in the West have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Buy a respirator and extra filters if you can. Also rubber gloves and a pair of goggles.
And for the hard times, waterproof trousers and jacket (the cheap PVC/Nylon ones, nothing fancy), those do well as a replacement for a Chem suit.
Where do you buy a respirator? And how much are they?
>Where do you buy a respirator?
Right now?
You don't. They are gone in most stores.
Also I was kinda joking. A respirator is a bit overkill.
But the truth is that normal disposable masks (N/P 95/100) are hard to come by.
If you don't have to go out of the house, don't. Wait for it to blow over.
You only need to worry when the zombies start roaming the streets.
I see. We do have a large package of masks at least. I probably should have worn the mask out but I figured the latex gloves were enough. I don't intend to go out anymore but I did visit Gamestop briefly on the 20th so now I have to wait a tense two weeks to see if I somehow caught anything that day. Fucked up how long the incubation time on this virus is. Other than that I haven't gone out.
>America went from "hoax" to "nothing to worry about, it'll be over soon" to "Try this shady drug, what have you got to lose?"
That's because most people can only respond to crises in one of two ways:
>total apathy
>total hysteria
Falling into the second camp makes you another alarmist faggot.
>I think the only people still denying it's a problem are people who live in the middle of nowhere who have been completely unaffected by it.
My company are still denying it, flouting all govt guideliness and telling staff and customers it is business as usual and not to listen to the news it is all just overblown media hype trying to scare people. The most retarded of retards.
Being alarmist is necessary to prevent the virus from becoming a pandemic. SARS and ebola didn't have the same impact because they were responded to smartly, what's going on right now is what happens when you have people who just ignore the threat.
>prevent the virus from becoming a pandemic.
It already is.
It has spread worldwide.
And ebola is fucking hard to pass around compared to something like the flu or COVID19.
Anyway, if you anons end up in the hospital don't worry.
In Italy and Spain the are taking old people (>65) from ventilators to hook up younger people.
Can't help but notice that all the people who say it's "just a flu" are also complete assholes.
>the board of businesses
>tfw you realize the vast majority of people are this retarded
we're fucked
We've come this far. That must count for something
>being alarmist
>smartly responding
Pick one. Being a screeching moron is going to worsen the economy, clog up medical services, and lead to unnecessary hoarding. Acting like it's an apocalypse makes you look like a moron, and makes it worse for the people actually contributing.
And no, this isn't me saying do nothing.
Just curious. Who is going to be manufacturing and exporting food if all these factories and such are getting shut down in every country? Also who is going to be treating the drs nurses and patients if the drs and patients start contracting this en masse?
dumb Luck and the smart allowing themselves to be leveraged by the insatiably greedy
>muh total collapse fantasy
Just curious. How's the HRT going?
not true, and doctors/health officials are actually advising against being alarmist. the retard normalfags that are being alarmist are the ones who are panic buying supplies they don't need and stuff like that
>Doctors, epidemiologists, researchers all advocate X
> anonymous internet sperg: 'nah guys we should all do Y'
Every time.
what the fuck did I say that goes against doctor's advice? are you implying doctors told people to go out and buy as much toilet paper as possible?
>bicycle
>motor
>inverter
>car battery
If you have these lying around the house, you can get some free electricity out of all the backpedaling you're doing.
please tell me where I have done any backpedalling. my stance has not changed at all. being alarmist can cause people to do things that are detrimental to containing the virus like depleting hospital resources. no doctors are gonna tell people to panic you fucking retard
It brought me much satisfaction to see your hero Rand Paul caught the coronavirus.

Yes, (((Rand Paul))) (((caught))) the (((coronavirus))) and it will be a real (((tragedy))) when his (((coronavirus))) (((suddenly))) (((mutates))) into a (((virulent strain))) and he (((dies))).
>>Doctors, epidemiologists, researchers all advocate X
>> anonymous internet sperg: 'nah guys we should all do Y'
"Doctors" (or rather, a (((vocal minority))) speaking for the whole after firing everyone with the stones to question (((them))), kind of like (((climate scientists)))), are giving advice to the public, which might be better for society but fucks over the people following the advice. E.g. don't stock up on supplies guys! Tee hee! Don't invest in tangible assets guys! Tee hee! Don't look behind the curtains goys! Tee hee!
Seriously though, I've heard every single theory about how benign or malignant the virus is and how benign or malignant the panic (or controlled and deliberate economic (((collapse)))??) is or how benign or malignant the (((cure))) or (((lack of cure))) is. Can't really say anything either way. Clean your room I guess.

Shut up you enormous idiot
ok there Alex Jones
>the United States has the most cases in the entire world
false, it's still Italy
I don't think that's not untrue
Can't wait till it wipes out the majority of boomers in the USA and crashes the economy for good.
It's getting young people too. We all need to be very careful. Do not waltz about like you're invincible.
this post right here is giving me a fucking stroke
Apparently it can also cause permanent lung damage. If that is actually true, then nobody is safe.
If that is the case I hope and pray I too receive it. I fucking hate it here and this is the first time an heroing would be seen as okay.
My people are hiding under the water. So far, Corona-virus hasn't affected any people living in the ocean. Lately we have put up a giant wall to protect us from the dangerous air above.
I don't think it would be "seen as okay" so much as people wouldn't know you intentionally caught it.
The worst part is he's seriously talking about trying to reopen things in just two weeks. That's nowhere near enough time. He is just so desperate for this to be over that he's stupid enough to think declaring it over and telling the people to go out will somehow go well for him. It's going to get worse and he is going to look like even more of a complete idiot. Thankfully the governors will be smart enough to keep the quarantine in place but it sure would be nice if he wasn't always actively trying to make things worse.
I've also seen some researchers saying that it could also stay in your body forever and cause recurring infections (a lifelong illness like AIDS)
but remember that this is brand new to scientists so they really don't know much for certain yet. for all we know yet, none of those scary concepts could turn out to be true
most cases in the world is still china (Italy just has a higher rate of new cases so it'll probably overtake china soon)
but yeah OP's wrong, US is in third place
>but remember that this is brand new to scientists
The virus name is SARS-CoV 2, not COVID-19.
It's not new, it's for all intents and purposes the same as SARS-CoV
We had a SARS-CoV (coronavirus) outbreak in China in the early 2000s.
>My people are hiding under the water.
LOL
>Apparently it can also cause permanent lung damage.

Good potentialities to be aware of.

As usual.

That's not even anywhere close to true.
Remnants of every single last one youve ever had is in your body.
That makes no sense. The human body cannot possibly fit that many.
America will be crippled because of backwards healthcare and Extremely unhealthy citizens.
Seriously, being grossly obese will tip the death rate to like 20 percent or so. That spells trouble for burger land
Honestly I'm glad it's happening, I just hope nothing bad happens to anyone I know. We will go into a recession after this but I'm sure the powers that be will try to do something to juice the economy, gotta keep making profit, so I'll probably land a job. I've said it to my friends irl and I'll say it again, the reason there's so much panic is because it kills old people and old rich people are mostly old. I'm glad I live on Brazil, the goverment is taking things pretty serious all things considered. Italy has been taking things pretty badly, probably a good part of europe will also take a hit in the next couple of days.
>As usual.
Maybe if you had a name you would bother writing high-quality posts since they would belong to you instead of being generic trash.
But that's communism isn't it. Let no one own anything so they all produce nothing because there is no point, except of course for (((them))) at the top with power that are "more equal than others".

Despite being a gun-grabbing, anti-nationalist, bleeding heart liberal he actually had an ounce or two of brains and compassion. But that was too much for ya'll, wansn't it. Sensible, National, Trickle-up Socialism was never ever the goal of Bernie "Gulag" Sanders, just a larp and cover for controlling the flow of information through Gulag, Twatter, and Fakebook even more instead of letting the actual People, as individuals, find their own information and come to their own conclusions.
NOOOOOOOO YOU CANT GIVE A UBI TO DISADVANTAGED PEOPLES THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND CHOOSE NON-POZZED NGOS THAT ACTUALLY HELP THEM OUT OF POVERTY INSTEAD OF KEEPING THEM DEPENDENT UPON US FOREVER NOOOOOOOOOOOO

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

A bunch of people are scared and out of work and I'm just making money and thriving through all of this... it's like a great world war, we are all sick in the trenches but after this is over maybe there will be a cuitie virgin for me

If only saying "no thanks" was enough to get commies to keep their ruination to their own countries.
You are getting more and more desperate.

For something to work with out of you?
Yes, I agree.
For bites on my bait?
There are good days and bad days.
But the "if I don't take any of my opponent's points seriously maybe they don't exist" strategy is something I've been facing for a decade now and my counter has been getting stronger.
For free speech?
Absolutely. But the left has been doing a FANTASTIC job of cannibailizing their own with same petty shit they used to ruin the lives of free thinkers on the right. That's been a helpful reprieve.
I've had enough of your psychotic nonsense.
Thank god, this will seriously be the Death kneel to America, I hate this goddamned country let it burn and rise from the ashes.
I hope I die and I hope it is soon. I am almost 20k in debt, no passion, no skills other than tech shit IT help desk. Mother shot herself a moonth ago with my gun that I found. About to have my utilites shut off, about to be evicted and have no where to live and running out of money fast.
But hey, everything will be alright, it'll be just alright A -okay.
What the fuck? Shouldn't you have better things to do than posting on Yas Forums if you're in that situation?
Like what, what the fuck can I do. Family took anything I could use to an hero with, my flight was cancelled, I have no money basically. I literally have nothing. But no, I don't talk to anyone anymore, no family or anything just pace around this apartment for hours on end drunk everyday.
This virus only adds to my stress levels and I am close on giving up.
>I've had enough
Oh, NOW you've had enough?
Which means that before this post, even after 2 2k-limit posts and 1 1k-limit post you still hadn't had enough?
Guess you really like me cooking, thanks!
>psychotic
I gues you're my excuse to learn a new word today, thanks!
* relating to, denoting, or suffering from a psychosis.
* a person suffering from a psychosis.
Well that was helpful. Continuing to psychosis...
* a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality
Huh, I thought it meant psychopath, guess not. Thanks for the lesson.
Of course, the definition contradicts itself.
Contact is NEVER lost with external reality because the mind never loses contact with the body until death.
It presumably means instead that contact was lost with your version of society and its social construct of external reality.
But still, you are wrong. The problem isn't that I have "lost contact" with what communism is, the problem is that I know all too well what communism really is.
You can only be a leftist by giving up your contact with all reality to the will of the group, the problem is clearly that I am not psychotic _enough_. In latin that would be hypopsychotic.
>nonsense
I've made many points. Of course, they are all wrong in the sense that they could be improved further. You've made ... zero points ... which are also wrong in the sense that they could be improved further. Admittedly there's a lot more potential in having said nothing at all. You'd be a great submissive or tabula rasa, clearly an empty vessel just waiting to be filled up with propoganda to parrot. Have you considering signing up for Grindr and getting TOPPED?
Okay buddy, if you ban yourself from the minecraft server and your soul shows up in a place like this and you get to choose what body to pop into which one would it be. (Mom & co. went to a different afterlife so you can't see them, sorry)
