I mean unless you're a child or old, it's a scam, tbh.

Haven't been following this closely. Are we already dead yet?

[nachobro]

no flu shot for me. i got enough autism as is

[Himu]

Huff are flu shots at pharmacy's like CVS safe

[nachobro]

not to break kayfabe too much but i do get one every year cause it's free on insurance

[Himu]

DON'T BREAK KAYFABE. It's real to me

[nachobro]

I've been getting them the past few years.
Always wait a few weeks though just in case CERN sabotaged the vaccinations. 

[TVC15]

My last word on flu vaccines: they find doctors to vouch for Nugenix, too. Don’t be a sucker.

I hope the baby shark kids get the virus. That damn song...

i used nih/cdc as my source:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16494711?dopt=Abstract
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/1/05-0979_article

This makes no sense, probably a typo. The article itself states that about 500 million people were infected and that about 50 million to 100 hundred million died. Basic math says that's a case fatality rate of 10-20%. 2,5% might be the global risk for any person living at that time on earth.

See this blog article

https://rybicki.blog/2018/04/11/1918-influenza-pandemic-case-fatality-rate/

So yeah, the coronoavirus as of today has a case fatality of 2,1%, a factor of 5 to 10 lower than the spanish flu.

Just a little bit more information people might be interested in.

While estimates of case-fatality (CF) rates for past influenza pandemics have ranged from about 0.1% (1957 and 1968 pandemics) to 20% (1918 pandemic); the official World Health Organization estimate for the current outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza to date is around 60%. While the real H5N1 CF rate (what it would be if we had perfect knowledge) could be lower (one study suggests that the real H5N1 CF rate is closer to 14–33%);

Ha doesn’t matter to me what morons here think

But just had a 6 yo die of the flu last week. Bad death too. 60k a year in the us die from the flu. People are dumb, get the flu shot, worry about the corona virus when it’s something to worry about

307 now dead, I imagine trans is now trying to wipe the spot of blood of his hand like Macbeth.

[Boredfrom]

I fucking hate my government:

.  U.S. ride-hailing application Uber Technologies Inc. said on Saturday that it suspended 240 accounts of users in Mexico who may recently have come in contact with someone possibly infected with the new coronavirus.

A day later the government actually confirmed that it was indeed a confirmed infected (that is now in Los Angeles, where he was diagnosed).

Mexican state news agency Notimex reported on Saturday that 18 of the 52 Mexican students who are studying in China had returned. Notimex did not specify whether the students are in quarantine.

They were not.

Fuck, am I going to have to avoid Uber? I use it every day I’m going to be pissed if tourists and travelers fuck up my work plans for this half.

Ok hitler, from what I’ve seen a lot of people are infected they’re saying a week ago it was about 100k so I don’t see the death toll being low at all.

[Transhuman]

But 2% mortality. Plus the cure is coming! Sars only killed 800, etc

[TVC15]

“Tourists and travelers” is an awfully broad demographic to add to my hate list. I hope this works out for them and I don’t get sick.

The issue is *Alex Jones hat* SARS wasn’t man mad, the only way to stay safe is to eat brain pills he sells

It’s finally my time to shine as a NEET. I knew never leaving my house would come in handy eventually.

[TVC15]

I have to go to the hospital at least twice this month too and now it’s going to be filled with even more filthy people. Hospitals are probably the worst place to go in a situation like this if you aren’t already sick.

[TEEEPO]

medical errors kill more than double the flu each year so you're prob fucked given that there is no where more dangerous in the world than a hospital

[TEEEPO]

why wouldn't they be 
the same shot is issued, the only thing to be concerned about is if the injector in charge doesn't follow basic sterilization and hygiene protocols or where to stab, which would be a per-branch problem

because like 10 years ago I remember a story where a kid got a flu shot at the grocery store and ended up with a bad reaction because of the way they handled it or some shit i forgot

[OnlyRegret]

yeah, if that was the case then it'd be a location problem with someone not knowing what they were doing
stick with doctors or pharmacists then from non-shifty locations if you are genuinely concerned, assuming shots are done similarly in the states

[Himu]

so the pharmacy is safe. Thanks!

[Himu]

I don't know. I always get flu shots at doctors after that kid got that flu shot fuck up. That's a good question. It's just an irrational fear. I missed my flu shot last year.

[TEEEPO]

Bro I'm just like when you post that "there is no where more dangerous in the world than a hospital" right after a bunch of people just got done laughing about getting vaccinated

bro, it's called being facetious

[TVC15]

Second case confirmed in Santa Clara county. I’m basically going to work in a petri dish tomorrow. I wonder if when the doc breaks the news to me, maybe that’s the moment I’ll find meaning in life. Fuck this world. Cover it in flames.

music is always better after your heart is broken so i'm eager to hear how it sounds when laying on your deathbed attached to a breathing apparatus and none of your loved ones care. come to think of it, that's what inspired eno in recording discreet music

Just had a look at that "OMG it's HIV" paper.



What a farce.

It's been retracted.

Big pharma strikes again, I hope Molly is on the case

Maybe after they tell me I have it, I’ll finally want to volunteer and help the elderly and coach youth sports at the Y. Maybe become a Big Brother. I hear there’s a homeless problem too. Maybe I’ll get some of those vaccinations you hear about sometimes.

[TEEEPO]

even i wouldn't wish autism on you :'(

[TVC15]

I had to get a tetanus shot when I was 14 or 15 and I didn’t have the gay sex until after that either. But I thought about it an inordinate amount of the time

sars wasn't overblown, it was just properly contained

and i'm not so sure of that chart because based on the testing limitations currently in place, there should be a well established inflection point as of now when using the official numbers

Deaths have exceeded SARS with 400 versus its 300 in China. Researchers warn it could be a pandemic but so far they believe that Coronavirus has a low death rate at 2% because many in China that were inflicted are now well. How many will die is now the main concern. By comparison, tens of millions died from Spanish flu in 1918. But it had a rate of 2% as well. It's just that so many contracted it. So far Corona is said to be  contagious, almost like an influenza, so we're definitely not out of the woods.

I had to look up if this meant whether you think things are ok or not. We smart.

[Potato]

Spanish flu was so deadly because it was basically the perfect time for a pandemic to strike. Lots of people moving around the world, poor hygiene, poor general health because off the war, lack of resources because of the war, lack of communication about the spread of the pandemic because of the war. Basically, without WWI, Spanish flu would have been a minor event.

Fun fact which I learned from a WWI podcast, Spanish flu actually originated in the USA and was transported to Europe by US soldiers. It was called Spanish flu, because as a neutral country, Spain didn't have the same restrictions on the press as the combatant countries and that meant it was the first place which actually reported it, even though it had been rampaging across France for a while.

The red line indicates SARS being overblown, and the grey line indicates how blown it should have been

[Raist]

The situation for the 2003 SARS outbreak was completely different, because asymptomatic people were not contagious. It's obvious hard to contain something when it's capable of spreading, yet entirely undetectable.

SARS was also a lot more virulent, so there's that.
