The Virus Outbreak Thread

I don’t know, it feels like this time a multifaceted R&D and manufacturing process is happening instead of the likes of Tamiflu like with H5N1. Zincy is right however that it’ll take a while for something that’s guaranteed to work to be developed.

@Background Pony #3BE4  
So basically the virus Zerg rushes your lungs and your immune cells goes into panic mode, loses its mind and start shooting literally anything and everything, sending in more troops to just purge the infected area?
 
Perfect. That’s about the response I expect.

@Ebalosus  
They helped create the unofficial Ebola cure back in 2014 and ensured not a single American died who received the treatment. Here’s to hoping they can work their magic again.

@tehwatever  
So it pretty much causes mesothelioma.

Decided to do put this little display this morning before the boss comes
 

 
My boss dont appreciate it none too much. At least I got had some laughs from fellow coworkers.

Jmfc… even facial hairs are being subject to these risks.

The media is totally over blowing this whole virus thing

@Background Pony #D8F9  
Fear sells.

@Meanlucario
 
 
I mean the elderly and people with weak immune systems have a reason to be worried but if you’re a average citizen then it’s literally just about as bad as the flu

@Background Pony #D8F9  
Not in all cases. There have been healthy individuals as young as 29 to 25 years old that have been killed by the virus.

@MagpulPony
 
Of course! im not saying that young adults should go on carelessly but don’t get paranoid about it either

I think Tokyo Disneyland made the right call to close for 2 weeks

The rout continues.
 
We’re on track for the Dow to close between 800 and 1000 points down again.
 
That would be either a 13 or 14% loss since the last peak.
 
If it breaches 19% off peak, we are officially in a bear market.

Be sure to go sign the petition demanding the resignation of the WHO Tedros liar. He was out there lying his ass off again today. Petition is at nearly half a million signatures.

@Meanlucario  
And that fear is justified considering how damn fast the virus is spreading and has basically shutdown the entire planet.

@Typhoon2000  
The US is still running like normal. Economy aside.

@MagpulPony  
I’m just not used to a worldwide outbreak of something. And I really didn’t care about the Swine Flu Pandemic as I was only 8/9 at the time.

@Typhoon2000  
the thing that could make this a problem is people’s fear and how they react, not necessarily the virus itself. There’s never a good time to panic.

India 3 cases only?  
Good.  
If they got them in really crowded cities then it’s gon’ be a major issue. They aint very hygienic over in most of rural india, so it potentially be spread fast.

There are at least 4 non international cases in California, Oregon, and Washington from what I heard, Is that true?

@Typhoon2000  
Yes
