The Virus Outbreak Thread

@SombrLiz  
Well, I’m worried now. Hope the vaccine is approved soon and works.

@SombrLiz  
That mean it is the end of the world.

@Meanlucario  
Vaccine should be approved in 12 months so they say.

@SombrLiz  
So it’s like herpes now… That’s not good… If it’s an artificial virus it may be a case of attempted omniversal human extinction.
 
@Ebalosus  
Does alcohol really work against viruses?
 
@Meanlucario  
At this point it’s either herpes, or immune to immunity…
 
@Background Pony #C4A2  
I say so. If this is artificial, its creator clearly has a vendetta against humans.

Wiimeiser is right it is the end of the world.

@Wiimeiser  
The US has a program capable of engineering programmable viruses. But If we wanted to hypothetically kill a ton of the population, it wouldn’t have been with a relitively low mortality rate virus.

@Background Pony #C4A2  
No it isn’t.

@MagpulPony  
Yeah, apocalyptic viruses would kill and spread quickly. If covid was apocalyptic, the hotspots would be reporting tens to hundreds of thousands dead by now. If not more. Covid has about a 3% mortality, but can cause life-long complications.

@Meanlucario  
@Wiimeiser  
you can literally kill it with soap lmao

@Rod Hungwell  
That’s bacteria.

@MagpulPony  
Not the end of the world? But about the fact that you can get reinfect? Does that mean that everyone who recover still have the virus in them?

@Meanlucario  
a lot of people are implying that’s all it takes.

@MagpulPony  
Now I’m even more terrified  
@Background Pony #C4A2  
Yup

I will have to say this, STOP LISTENING TO FEAR-MONGERS! The Coronavirus will NOT lead to global extinction, stop overhyping this, and don’t listen to the ill-informed idiots on Social Media.

@Background Pony #C4A2  
That’s the case with almost every virus. They lie dormant inside your body after infection. Its just that after your body successfully fights it, it develops anti-bodies that can stop further infection.

@SombrLiz  
In my case it’s mostly my own paranoia. But even then I highly doubt the virus will kill a majority of the global population. Though the fact the virus could potentially be capable of pulling a herpes doesn’t sound promising, to put it lightly…

@Wiimeiser  
Kill? No. Infect? Technically possible but who knows.

And for the love of god, stop believing in things that are not true like “Drinking Corona brand Beer,” or “I will get the Coronavirus from eating Chinese Food.” Cause if you do, you are officially more dumber than a sack of Hammers.

@SombrLiz  
Isn’t food usually made locally to prevent spoiling anyway?

@SombrLiz
 
Or think that wearing and hoarding face masks will somehow make you safe. Health officials worldwide recommend them for sick people to prevent non-sick people from getting infected, not for the general population to avoid contracting the illness.

@Wiimeiser  
Not if it is frozen or packed with enough preservatives to make a twinky blush.

I have a dentist appointment on Wednesday. How would I avoid spreading the virus to the Dentist if I had the virus?

@Background Pony #C4A2  
By not going to the dentist.

@MagpulPony  
What would Happen if A Dentist would to get the virus? Would the Dentist spread the virus to people who are going to the Dentist?
