Bless you ShittyBeerVirus.
Maybe the food wars will be averted.

Seriously though, how contagious is it given it's hit the US.

Isn’t there a new Fast and Furious movie this year? They may have to use some of dat CG budget redoing beer bottle labels depending on how the next few months play out

If you fucks were so worried why wait for me to make a thread.

Aren't you Asian? You're already dead.

Only 800 people died from Sars and it was way more severe, plus since we're 16 years of medical advancement later... i'd be very surprised if the deathtoll ends up triple digits

Jokes about pandemics are a bad look.

I was gonna say, remember the Ebola scare from a few years ago?

Also, unless your immune system is heavily compromised, I imagine it's flu like symptoms.

Very interesting viral marketing campaign for The Last of Us 2.

[mormapope]

Just three of the 41 deaths reported over all have taken place outside of Wuhan: one in another city in Hubei Province, one in Hebei Province, and one in Heilongjiang, near the Russian border.

The New victims ranged from 55 to 87 years old

A young, previously healthy man died in Wuhan, raising concerns about the deadliness of the virus. Until now, the vast majority of victims have been older than 60 with preexisting conditions.

Every news outlet is screaming DEADLY VIRUS, CHINA CANT CONTAIN IT. DEADLY. ITS VERY DEADLY. And the majority of victims are.... elderly people.

A highly contagious virus isn't a good thing, but news outlets are having fun scaring the fuck out of people.

[Himu]

I'm going to Chinese New Year tomorrow to photograph it.

Should I go?

Hopefully these zoonotic viruses lead to meat getting a "dirty" reputation, being resource-intensive and all.

Also, I laughed at the idea of a megathread on TheBore.

[Nintex]

I woke up with a sore throat yesterday.

It could just be the flu or I'm carrying a deadly virus.
I love Corona with a slice of lemon btw

I mean, yes. But it still is a serious thing. Ebola is serious in the sense that symptoms are very severe. Good medical protections is why this stuff doesn't jump as much as it used to. But that doesn't mean not panicking about it possibly breaking out of containment shouldn't be done. (Maybe NOT to the Chicken Little levels that the media makes it out to be)

Also unconfirmed messages of Chinese doctors calling relatives saying this is way worse than anyone thinks and they are ill equipped to handle the 100k or so infected.

if half the US gets infected and it costs the average citizen $17,000 for treatment you might see some opinions start flipping on m4a

I’ll take the hit. Life really does feel like wasting time waiting to catch something terminal so I can take advantage of my state’s euthanasia laws. I was over this shit years ago. Nobody has made a good song in like 15 years. There’s no life without good music. This milk turned a long time ago and now it’s green.

Why aren't governments sending these out to everyone? 

[VomKriege]

Is supply even able to cope with bulk orders in the millions (or billions ? I imagine the cheaper, lighter masks may not be reusable or have short viability) ? In a manner timely enough to make a difference ? Without disrupting the existing needs, supply lines and unhealthy competitions between countries due to the fear of shortages ?

It is really difficult to tell what is real and what isn't at this point.

The talk about gunshots is bullshit, it was Chinese New Years so if you hear 'gunshots' in the distance it is just firecrackers going off. 

It all does look very eerie though

So I was gonna make a post last night about how for a friend's birthday we went to a traditional Filipino restaurant last night and had a kamayan dish where they line up the food on the table and we all eat from it with our hands and I was sitting next to a coughing gal who just came back from Seattle airport a few days ago which made me a little  but figured it was fear mongering so didn't post.

Then this morning wake up to find out the 3rd confirmed case is right down the street from me in the next city over (~5 miles away)
https://www.ocregister.com/2020/01/25/case-of-coronavirus-confirmed-in-orange-county/

As someone that is on immune suppresent medication (and just got my lastest dose 3 days ago which supresses my system for the next 2 months!), catches every flu/cold that passes through and gets hit harder by it and takes 2-4x as long to recover from it...I unfortunately have to be concerned

[james]

2 to 14 days I believe

Take care of yourself, bebps <3

Oh, lol, looks like it’s in Alameda county now too. I suppose it’s time

I guess this is my last post then, guys. It’s been pretty fun posting here. Let me be real a moment. Stosta, you were always a very entertaining poster, and I hope you can manage to continue. I think you can accomplish things, buddy! Riotous, I’ve really warmed up to you. You’re a charming guy that would have been nice to chat with. Bebp, you’re a sweetheart and I want you to keep creating. Let people know about me. Everyone else, the only good part of going to hell first is that I get to see the looks on your faces when you get there. Sayonara, buttholes, I won’t go pretty, won’t stop vapin.

Btw I am going to see Bad Boys 4 Lyfe in a movie theater downtown at 1pm and after I will get an ice cream cone so I am exposing my tongue frequently to the open air.

Please don't forget to suck a cock after.

Yes, I may also be setting up my “Free Spongebath” stand over in the lot by the exit. It’s inclusive—clean, dirty, homeless, junkies, whatever. I don’t care why you’re here, what you’re reason is, but I believe people have some basic rights.

Listen to the best Bowie albums again before you die, man.



Then suck his dick in heaven.

I've had some bad gas today, is that a symptom?

Good luck TVC. Yeah just saw it's in LA too

I'm staying indoors next 2 weeks. Fuck the world.

[TVC15]

I also have to go into work for a release this week, and I’m the kind of guy that will go to work sick, and I work in an open office. Plus I have to get my head cut into by a surgeon this week. I only use public transportation. I’m more disease vector than man.

[Bebpo]

Also I thought you lived in SF?

If you're in LA, after we hopefully both survive this virus, we really should meetup.

I’m in Oakland (Alameda County). I’m probably going to be down in LA for work a few times this half, though. I was going to let you know once I knew more!

Edit: ah, they’re still only testing, so it’s not confirmed. I suppose I can eat gunk from the gutter in peace for another day. Last post cancelled.
