Coronavirus 2020

[Hog]

Israel has just supplied the United States with 7 million doses of Emtricitabine/tenofovir, which has been used in China South Korea and is showing to reduce the duration of recovery. Shipments arriving Friday.

There are 4-5 drugs are showing promise.

In South Korea, if you are tested positive, your neighbors are notified of that you are positive.  There are known positive Americans are refusing to quarantine.  That's bullshit.

Local hospitals are putting out pleas for unopened boxes of N95 masks and non-latex gloves.  The next week will tell us a lot about how this will pan out.

SARS-1 ingected a human in November 2002, a single doctor in China went to a family members wedding and infected a lot of the 9th floor of a Hong Kong hotel.  He ignored his fever and spread SARS-1 around.
Floor layout.
"The first cases of SARS occurred in mid-November 2002 in the Guangdong Province of China. This was followed by an outbreak in Hong Kong in February 2003. A Guangdong Province doctor, Liu Jianlun, who had treated SARS cases there, had contracted the virus and was symptomatic. Despite his symptoms, he traveled to Hong Kong to attend a family wedding. He stayed on the ninth floor of the Metropole Hotel in Kowloon, infecting 16 other hotel guests also staying on that floor. The guests then traveled to Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, spreading SARS to those locations and transmitting what became a global epidemic"


It came to Canada in February, killed 2 nurses and one of the nurses sons.  SARS-1 killed 774 people out of  8,098 cases. The WHO officially removed Toronto from its list of infected areas by the end of June 2003.
The only place you will find SARSCOV-1 from 2003 is in lab samples.  It hasnt been seen in the wild since 2005.

That is great. What a plea. I ordered another 20 boxes from my fucking distributor yesterday. Please tell me why it is that I can find them with one phone call and their entire procurement departments come up short.

Useless fuckers. Maybe I should ask my company to "donate" them to the hospitals who can't seem to check with a major distributor and are (apparently) NOT stocking up while they are still available?

If they actually are short, somebody should be charged with fraud (collecting a pay cheque for work that they are not performing.)

Any idea, which parts of the U.S. are actually experiencing legitimate social pressure to remain in place? I've seen no shame whatsoever in Seattle, we all run around stoned beyond all measure, leaving trails of vape clouds behind us that hang in the blessedly wide open spaces. It's like the best summer vacation ever! Not even in the bluest parts of the city does anyone give even a single shit for what Inslee orders, the fear people have been already cowering for weeks, ratcheting up the emergency lockdown has just emboldened more travelers.

Can confirm it is a farce.  When they closed clam-digging at the ocean citing the virus I nearly pissed myself.

Ha!  That's because you live on the west coast.  There people shit in the street, hoods empty out store shelves and law enforcement is demoralized and neutralized by leftist DA's.  Not that way in Dixie - you try that prancing around, blowing out cloud of vape here today aftter 5PM when the lock dow goes into effect and the Walking Boss will come in to your life.

Prime Minister and Health Minister in the UK both test positive.

Just need Prince Philip to get it and then the queen and it’s practically a full house.

Bullshit. Just like I don't buy that our cowardly prime minister's wife had it- I don't believe them either. They want an excuse to hide "isolated" in their houses because they are cowards and don't want to run a risk of getting it. And their security detail is all for it because it is their job to protect the prime minister (and he is out of harms way if he is locked away and "self isolating" in his basement.)

Perhaps He and his wife would like to visit our prime minister who has been "self isolating" at Rideau Hall for the last two weeks?

Cowardly fuckers.

***I almost forgot. Today is the day that our coward in chief should be out of self isolation. I wonder what he is doing. I wonder if I was correct that he is going to continue to "lead by example" by remaining locked safely away in his house during a national emergency?

[Jackstar]

Please tell me why it is that I can find them with one phone call and their entire procurement departments come up short.

There is a world behind the visible world, a world only experienced by those few individuals with the capacity to see beyond their enforced limitations. Those such persons simply get sold masks in the expectation that it is undesirable for anyone intelligent with an actual need for a mask would actually go outside and look around. "Holy crap, look at all these people outside, how do they not know they're on the edge of death!!"

Peasants. Intelligent, yet peasants nonetheless. "Muh talisman! Muh talisman! My body's own defenses are USELESS!!!" Weak.

Anyway, specious babbling aside (forgive), there's a bunch of people who are locked into the worldview that this virus is going to cycle back, and back, and back again, for weeks, and if that's so they need to ration them out for months. And the scarcity needs to be artificially generated so as to maximize those fear profits, because particulate masks really are not at all expensive to manufacture. Like, at all. I bet my cousin is sitting on two cases, his mom is allegedly vulnerable, so I bet he's got enough until her next birthday. Hoarders cope.

I believe they have a phone app that even shows you where the infected are.   Won't happen here - it might stigmatize the quarantine breaking Typhoid Larry and hurt his feelings.

...and to what extent is the average Briton able to fully count to five? Just wondering, I don't have any friends asking. They're really quite tired of seeing me jam up the answers channel with my contemptuous venting.

Oh, this thread makes me laugh. Best cure for the major illness that I am expecting to suffer from any day.

Hey, when 80000 people died from the flu here a couple years ago I don’t remember a total societal shutdown and constant updates on the news about the latest deaths.

While our guy is obviously sick from hearing him talk, says he doesn't have it but very well might and doesn't give a single shit.

Oh.  BTW thread.  Senda's Corona-Chan test can back negative.  I am sure you all were worried sick.

...Seriously, Seattle is exactly like this. "Oh noes there's no natural immunity or virus AHHHHHMAGERD which Starbucks latte has the most vitamin C?" ...

The Starbucks (spit) around town here all seem closed.  The over-priced coffee zombies are beginning to wander around trying to keep their distance from the infected "hobo elite" zombies now.  I believe resource scarcity will eventually drive these lone stragglers into ever larger groups.  At some point, the Zombie-horde symptom will present.

From a clinical standpoint I believe we have already seen the pre-cursor proto-Horde in the lines outside grocery stores and "big box" retailers.  It is only a matter of time before the shambolic moaning groups coalesce into something truly 'yuge.

Good Stuff Jaxtar!

It's just the difference between macro-level and micro-level (societal protection vs. individual liberty) thinking.  Macro-level, if they can potentially save One More (faceless, anonymous, theoretical) Life they will happily ban anything and go home with a feeling of accomplishment unconcerned by how many people they have pissed off.  But, without the manpower or inclination to enforce it (surely they have better things to do right now) people will just assert their rights themselves.  Sure there will be a few citations by overzealous officers, but it's mostly harmless.

"Typhoid Larry," hah!  I should order one of those old school military Class A/B uniform nametags with "Typhoid Larry" etched on it.  Wear it when I am "breaking" quarantine, would want to dust off my old green Army Class A/B uniform, which should fit nicely on my recently acquired "body-by-quarantine" physique.

I have cut People's Free Republic daily caloric intake to 75% in an effort to ensure supply should this outside cry-sis extend indefinitely...

I actually heard that event reported as dying from self-medicating and not drinking fish tank cleaner.

Uniform? Mask, Gloves, Speedo and Cane are all you need Pate.

I guess I could put the "Typhoid Larry" name-tag on the speed-o, hmm.  I like this idea.

Well now our whole state is in stay at home mode until the end of April.  As Jack and K_Dubb mentioned it's not so bad:

Essential Businesses
What qualifies as an Essential Business, you ask? Nearly everything aside from gyms, tattoo parlors, hair/nail salons, spa/massage parlors, swimming pools, and indoor recreational places you'd generally gather at (think movie theaters, arcades, bowling alleys, etc).

Grocery Stores? Yes
Pawn Shops? Yes
Target/Walmart? Yes
Pet Stores? Yes
Home Improvement Stores? Yes
Restaurants? Yes, for take out/delivery only
Retail stores that sell non-essential goods? Online and Telephonic Delivery operations only.
Golf Courses? Yes
Liquor Stores? Yes
CBD Shops? Yes
Uber/Lyft/Taxi? Yes
Banks/Financial Institutions? Yes
Airports? Yes
Car Dealerships? Yes
Suppliers for any of the above? Yes

So I can go pawn some stuff.  Go to look at some new cars and then play golf.  What is the point?

Can confirm it is a farce.  When they closed clam-digging at the ocean citing the virus I nearly pissed myself.

Because of Corona-Chan or due to other clam viruses? I know the clams and other shellfish can have various ones and Fish&Game or Ag frequently monitors and shuts certain beaches or places down depending.

And sometimes from imported clams from China:

And on the other coasts some 'mysterious' diseases. I think Art had a show about this once a long time ago....
