The COVID-2019 Thread

The sooner the whole world gets it and fights it off, the sooner it can be put in the history books.
Containing is just delaying the inevitable and prolonging the hysteria and economic losses.

Boris Johnson has the correct attitude to the situation.

If you are under 60 and not a smoker or someone with respiratory problems then calm down.

Opps. I forgot I was posting on TD.

...and you still haven't understood what this is about.

Opps. I forgot your name is bnub

absolutely !!!

[NamPikToot]

Don't think that 150,000 people around the world, with most of them in China, could statistically include such a high number of well known/famous people.

Lulu you've hit upon something there, famous people must be more susceptible. Betts will model this and disprove it of course.

Can’t help but to think Washington and Palm Beach hospitals will soon be filling up.

....because of this attention whore ?

[OhOh]

up 235 or 4.42%

Mainly because the US Futures are positive ..

Possibly due to this piece of positive news:

Over 95% of larger Chinese firms outside Hubei resume work: official

"China’s vice industry minister Xin Guobin said on Friday the work resumption rate outside of Hubei province, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, is about 60% for small and medium firms and over 95% for larger firms. Xin, speaking to reporters at a State Council briefing, said China will coordinate with other countries to push forward on business resumption even as the pandemic stokes uncertainty about the return to normalcy.
The country is trying to get back to work after imposing strict restrictions on transport and people to slow the spread of infections. "

Take your pick.

they'll be back to munching pangolins

Asians have been eating many things some foreigners consider exotic for millennia.

they'll probably be the source of the next global pandemic too

Good to hear that fact. I suppose this being a "news thread" you are able supply your source/method of the current virus outbreak?

They are consistent and have zero intentions of changing anything.

If one looks/vists/reads about how China, it's Government, business regulations, commerce and it's population's living standards have changed/improved over the past few decades, I find it difficult how an educated person, such as yourself, could believe such nonsense.

ok, let's start with those nearest and dearest to you....including those over 60.

not so easy to be cavalier when it's your friends and family, is it?

He's a forum wonder, isn't he.

U.S. representative Katie Porter has secured free coronavirus testing for all Americans after presenting compelling evidence in the US House of Representatives on Thursday. According to her calculations, coronavirus testing would cost a citizen a minimum of $1,331. She pressed a member of the administration to commit to making all testing immediately free and he conceded

How many times will we have to get it and fight it off in order to put it in the history books. Remember there is no immunity.
Are Boris and Donald related by any chance ? Maybe that's why their are no travel restrictions.
Boy, the two dumbest politician on this planet.


Boris and Donald a bit like Abbott & Costello

Yes they have grown and developed HOWEVER they will do what they do. I would like to believe that regions throughout China understand the implications of their actions but I question it because they continue to ignore basic sanitary controls. Remember OhOh, Its not all, but a small few that continue their behavior because its all about money. Just like Thailand and burning. The old fukers know its bad but they simply do not care because its all about money. Incidents like this might taper off after the next few generations of ignorant people die off.

The factory I work at has implemented a 40c for 36 hrs quarantine on materials arriving to expedite them into their factory. If not, 36c for 8 days.

[bsnub]

The factory I work at

WTF?

[Stumpy]

WTF?

Hey Snubs...Controls they implemented. Yeah I work at a big factory.. 2800+ people

[bsnub]

Yeah I work at a big factory..

No you don't.

You control the operations of a big factory hoss.

[Stumpy]

No you don't.

You control the operations of a big factory hoss.

Well true...Actually I only make certain they deliver to the plan.

[nidhogg]

. Remember there is no immunity.

For fuck sake. All this is based on ONE person. Maybe she had mild disease, maybe she was false positive two times (when you are doing millions of test, it is going to happen). Maybe she has a faulty immune system. Maybe there is a clearance window.


But to say there is no immunity is simply fucking stupid. Its people like you who know fuck all who make the problem worse. Fuck the fuck off.

Does she work for a large pharma company - she'll be getting a massive kickback.

See above, ballbag.

You are the only person on the planet other than this fucking chinky tosspot who thinks this virus did not originate in Wuhan.

HoHo forgets that most chinkies are uneducated rural rice farmers who have moved into the cities where they think the streets are paved with gold, and ended up stitching Hello Kitty backpacks or such shit for a few dollars a day.

They are still partial to a bit of bat and if some knobhead tweets that eating Cow snot makes your tiny dick bigger, it would be selling out faster than Aussie bog rolls.
