Corona Thread |OT| Nu variant, who dis?

[Bebpo]

I actually like the theory that a lot of people have already had this, if only because I had a flu-ish respiratory thing back in January. 

I really think there is a need for the antibody test if you really want to put people's minds at ease. aside from, you know, actually testing.

I mean my whole family in February got the "flu" with 102+/104+ fevers and respiratory stuff that 2 months later we're still recovering from with lingering coughs. My mom was in the ER and I almost died.

I would think it could have been Covid...except that my mom is the only person who got tested and a swab test said it was H1N1 Flu type A. So I really doubt it was anything but that unfortunately. Would be nice if we had all survived this and been immune now.

You're probably shadow banned on twitter for the inkling fan art you repost.

Could you do his job? You could always kill him and then prop him up on video calls, think weekend at shosta's! Just make sure you can access the money first.

Gov. of Texas just announced 11k tested so far.  Is this good or bad?

Okay, here’s my considerably less ballsy email I’m going to send tomorrow.

“Please consider today a day of absence for me. Though I know management disagrees with me at this time, I urge  reconsideration for a temporary shutdown for the health and safety of <>’s employees and their communities. “

The continuation of the adventures of Dr.Raoult, the French Wank Dad GOAT infection guy promoting hydrochloroquin :

He has a book out (yesterday or today). Also resigned from the scientific council advising the French government.

There's apparently an EU wide test ongoing with a sample of 3200 for testing it.

Our government is signaling heavily that regulations will be eased after April 6th. Looks like some countries have given the boomers a 2 week headstart at best.

Esch : You almost had two weeks of shit symptoms, you're probably closer to the end of your ordeal than the beginning. Hang in there.

trump hired him didn't he

I didn't even think of that. He resigned over the testing strategy and also probably on account of his, AFAIK, open feuds with some other French mandarins. He has a cushy position in a Marseilles big hospital and that's a long term meal ticket, even if not the best paying one, where he has relatively free reign.

I wouldn't be surprised he had some contacts with Trump people (among others) via mail or phone tho.

Governor Dewine said they project the peak to be in the first week of May for Ohio. That’s a lot longer than I expected. :/

It's a good thing everything is open for business by then you don't want to miss the peak.

Oklahoma's governor has finally started shutting some things down and telling people to stay home, at least until April 21st.

[VomKriege]

More cases of clusters / suspicious deaths found into French retirement homes. Maybe 40 deaths and a couple of hundred cases (including staff) over three institutions. I think we're in the running to give the 2003 heat wave and its estimated 15000 deaths a run for its money.
 

Edit : 16 deaths in a nursing home that started curtailing visits on March 5 and tried to be proactive.

[bluemax]

My roommate's employer told them all they've been exposed to someone who has Corona, then walked it back and said it wasn't like they originally said, and then came back this morning and said no, they've probably all been exposed. Which means I've probably been exposed.

So press F to pay your respects.

Some old man is likely stuck in the corridor of a hospital without a proper room because of this shitstain. 

[Bebpo]

Welp, online groceries seem useless. Was like beating ticketmaster to get an order in for today delivery.

Then half the stuff needs replacement items - fine
But all the important stuck is just out of stock and I don't get it.

Great getting hamburger patties and spinach, but no buns
getting peanut butter & jelly, but no bread

-_-

Basically everything dairy, eggs, bread, distilled water, TP, paper towels seem very hard to get right now which sucks. Gonna fight the crowds at the market later or tomorrow I guess.

So Germany has a low covid mortality rate. Simple explanation: they got rid of the Trumps.

Just watch that wholesome video from Papa Wenger talking about Corona on repeat and you'll feel better soon enough.

I've got a morbid fascination with the States now that they seem want to make things the worst possible.

For all the death panels chatter, things haven't even begun and they've already floated the idea of acceptable mass die-off. It can only go downhill.

Esch, I know you're about to die and all that, and this might not be the best time to bring this up, but could you put your emoticons under your links?  It just feels so much better to have the rolfs temporally after the thing they are rolfing.

Unless there is something fucky going on, you've probably got a strong testing rate and no healthcare collapse yet. The latter is probably the real killer.

Lol good luck finding flour in a store right now. Haven’t seen any for weeks. I buy wheat grains and make my own flour right now.
