Corona Thread |OT| Nu variant, who dis?

[Ghoul]

First day working from home and one user too many being either thick or too important to read an email from me to help them work better from home, I'm having a whiskey and ginger ale at 3pm.

I can get used to this working from home stuff.

My fever has gotten worse. I’m now experiencing chills and having some difficulty breathing. My girlfriend and I are staying in a hotel until our apartment is ready so I’m going to be sleeping in the bathtub I guess. Called local hospital, was told I’m completely SOL and to stay away from people.

I’ve always had lung related issues. When I was a kid I had horrible asthma and had to stay in a hospital for a long time in one of those clear medical tent things.


This sucks dick.

Hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m going to be blocking you as a safety precaution.

Thanks for reaching out but I am at viral load capacity at the moment, do you have someone else you can contact ?

Had to go to Walmart today to get some things. Made sure not to breathe too much when someone else was on the aisle with me, so I think I'm okay.

No TP still.

Just thinking if the world goes into full shutdown the economic consequences are going to be huge. The virus could be with us for 18 months.

Sorry bro. Get better soon. Stay hydrated and all that  we'll all cast a vote for diamond Joe soon 

Nah, diamond joe ain’t gonna survive this.

Just thinking if the world goes into full shutdown the economic consequences are going to be huge. The virus could be with us for 18 months.

A lot of people I've talked to in my family and at work don't understand this. The precautions from my city and state are currently set for a couple of weeks, which is giving the impression this will all blow over by late April.

The masses are going to lose their fucking minds by this summer, especially if the U.S. is really on the Italy projection and not the South Korean one. Being stuck at home for months on end and turning on the news to hear about thousands dead in a single day is going to wear on people.

BBC News - US jails begin releasing prisoners to stem Covid-19 infections

Corona is even smashing the for-profit prison system!

Get well my boritos who are suffering.

Also are we getting coronabux or what. I have some shopping to do.

[Madrun Badrun]

I think at some point the world is going to realize that money is just made up nonsense to begin with

Ya, and nothing with change.

I'm actually pretty angry at how fast we can move on this but not things like climate change, poverty, First Nations' issues.  I'm also angry about how this is going to disproportionally affect those that have very little.  The majority of the people on the front line of this thing are not there by choice but because they can't afford to not be and their reward in all this will be to get sick, possibly die, and still only get minimum wage next year. 


It seems like the Canadian Gov. is taking First Nations' safety kind of seriously at least.  I have heard more about them than specific stuff for the elderly for example (but I expect the gov. to be hit by not doing enough for them at the end of this).

My sore throat Ive had all week will not go away

[VomKriege]

I don't think the general lockdown is sustainable above two month tops. Even if we really switch to pseudo-wartime mentality. I'm sure there were much stricter quarantines enforced in our history but there's probably better ways to manage this if testing can be made systematically, and especially if an effective treatment can mitigate the illness and fatalities. High state of awareness among the citizenry, more discipline with hygiene, and keeping the detection network strong to immediately locate clusters and only quarantine a village/company/zone until a reliable vaccine or potent treatment may roll out to make it trivial.

Lack of social interaction & fresh air is gonna drive people up the wall.

[Madrun Badrun]

I think in two months we will have better systems to manage the outbreak and people will understand the seriousness of the issue, making lockdown unnesccissary.

If you die can I have your stonks?

[VomKriege]

Besides the masks gifted by China, the French Army transferred 5m masks from its stock to hospitals and 25m masks are on order (though the logistics are a mess)... Doctors and nurses are working with inadequate protection with a high risk of being infected, and it's starting to bubble up to the media.

I'm afraid the fatalities in France for the next two weeks are going to be rough.

[Uncle]

not many things totally out of stock at my local grocery store other than the entire TP and paper towel aisle

canned food looking lean, frozen veggies looking lean

and the one thing they were 100% out of was...lunchables

[ToxicAdam]

lunchables are the biggest ripoff in the store. 2-3 bucks for 20 cents of food.

[james]

My sore throat Ive had all week will not go away

I've had the same symptom for about 10 days now with slight pressure in my lungs

just waiting it out

Yeah theres a very slight pressure on my chest when Im lying down. Im also a bit tired.

No other symptoms though. No cough. No runny nose. A very rare sneeze (ie standard dust sneeze).

Ive been taking a multi-vitamin every day and drinking fruit smoothies.

[Great Rumbler]

Walmart used to drop the price of Lunchables to $1 during the back-to-school season, but not anymore.

[james]

I could really go for a Lunchable right now 

Do they still come with environmentally destructive capri sun beverages?

[Nintex]

- Our health minister resigned due to exhaustion
- Elderly homes are going into 'LOCKDOWN'
- The masks shortage is becoming an issue, France is also intercepting Dutch orders offering twice our price making it more difficult
- Our borders are now effectively closed for anyone outside the EU

In better news, our prime minster says we can poop for at least 10 years with the current supply of toilet paper
https://twitter.com/palpeet/status/1240588903125483525

Also Erdogan hasn't threatened us with open borders anymore 

[jorma]

You'd have to be pretty damned distinguished mentally-challenged if you travel to EU right now, i don't think closing the borders is going to help us

When I worked in a grocery store they would mark it down to $1 during the summer and then raise it up to $2 during the school year. The bastards.

[Nintex]

One of my friends got word that universities remain closed until after the summer holidays (September) and they're offering remote classes and tests starting next week.

The CEO of Razer has announced the company will start producing 1 million face masks.
That's the thing with those masks, isn't it very easy to make bunch of paper masks and create production lines for them?

3 French doctors have filed a complaint against the Prime Minister and the former Health Minister (now running for Paris Town Hall) for "negligence" basically, using some of the latest statements of Agnès Buzyn that she knew keeping the first round of mayoral election still last Sunday was a mistake.

Same thing for me, had a slight cough and headache, occasional sneeze. We're going to get through this, King. I'm eating the produce and drinking the ginger tea 

If anything changes, this thread will be the first to know

[Leadbelly]

I've noticed that my mind now places news into one of two categories: Coronavirus news and other news. In fact it is kind of the equivalent of sifting through junk mail. All the relevant mail like bills, etc, are put to one side, and the junk mail is automatically thrown in the bin. That's basically what is going on in my mind right now. I read the headlines, but after about 10 minutes, I couldn't tell you a single thing about what is going on right now that isn't coronavirus related. It isn't relevant so my mind basically tosses it to one side.

If Elon can turn Tesla quick to supporting medical device production it would definitely be really good for the USA if not the world. I think he's a really smart engineer, so he probably could do it if it's feasible.
But he's also pretty full of shit a lot, so good chance he's just talking out of his ass and doesn't have the capability.

Definitely hope it's the former.

Heartwarming, to be sure, but I'm sure hospitals would rather have more supplies and more credits.

[VomKriege]

I mean it's hard to explain to kids. In the aggregate it's not great but it's probably better to have small groups of kids than a massive concentrated gathering in a school even if the virus is running.

[ToxicAdam]

What are people doing for funerals in this time? I don't know anyone in my personal life that has had to go to one, so I have no idea how they are handling this.

[Himu]

Wife and kids tried to go to the beach today... Slammed packed full of spring breakers with no sense of social distancing at all... Fuck all of them.. GET OFF MY LAWN!  There's a reason old people get mad at those damn whippersnappers.

[ToxicAdam]

Retooling a manufacturing facility doesn't happen overnight. It takes many weeks and a lot of collaboration between hundreds of people at various levels. Not saying it shouldn't be attempted, but it's not like flipping a light switch and the machine starts producing new widgets.

Elon musk is the only billionaire out there helping with this. The others have disappeared.

The timeline is that Musk said it wasn't a big deal because more people died of other things and that making more medical devices was 'easy'. 

Then people started talking about hospitals shortages and he was like: "Shortages?" 

The Twitterati are now basically begging for him to do something 

[Raist]

If you're a hospital with a ventilator shortage or someone in a position to compile a list, please let @elonmusk and me know here.

What is Nate Silver going to do exactly? Run some more poor stats?

Errr.. Bill Gates?  Immediately donated $100 million in February and has been ongoing with involvement in vaccine development and other health care options... not to mention has spent millions researching for what to do in a pandemic for years and how to improve health care systems all over the world.

But sure.. Musk made a tweet.

First time hearing this about Gates. Thanks.

?  Even before the virus, we would never even come remotely close to people.  There’s nothing there to touch/contaminate.  There’s a constant saline breeze blowing inland.  Plenty of sunshine that kills viruses and provides Vitamin D.  Plus, and most importantly, there’s dozens upon dozens of secluded inlets allowing several hundred yards from any other person…   It’s like night and day with these idiot spring breakers though…  they’re doing everything, and anything possible to socially gather; hanging out in large groups, hanging out at every fast food place or coffee shop, hopping from rental to rental,  going to the movies… they have done this ALL just this week and only have gotten more dense.  Looking at a beach cam right now, it’s as packed as it would be on a Summer day.   I’m not part of the problem.. I’m a Grandmaster at Social Distancing....  I just can’t afford to live off the grid just yet. lol

Unlike other procedures, you can't really delay when to pop a kid out.

If the hospitals are overloaded, what's going to happen to all the childbirths?
