The Virus Outbreak Thread

@Wiimeiser  
Nope, just toilet paper. They do realize that can stock up two weeks worth of food.

recent quotes from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Zhao Lijian.
 
“When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals?”
 
“might be [the] US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan.”
 
“Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation,”
 
Yeah, we don’t owe you shit. Go ahead and kindly fuck off please.

all the toilet paper at the grocery store near me is gone.

retards keep buying toilet paper for no reason

@Slingring  
It’s fun watching people fight over toilet paper.

Governor Dewine of Ohio claims there may be upwards of 10,000 unreported cases of covid 19 in his state.
 
I find that dubious.
 
At least, I hope its dubious.

all the superstores are out of toilet paper near my area, i dont get it just shower if you run out of toilet paper

@Zincy  
A medical professor at John Hopkins supposedly believes there are at the very minimum 50,000 cases already in the US.

cant pawn that tp and bottled water back can they?

@MagpulPony
 
If that’s the case than no amount of quarantine will stop it.
 
It’ll have already hit critical spread

@Zincy  
It’s a good thing me and my family are staying home for at least 2 weeks straight.
 
We’ll wait out this damn virus.

@CaptainXtra  
I heard it was increased to 8 weeks minimum. Mainly because health officials are realizing there is no way this US outbreak is ending in 14 days.

@MagpulPony
 
The UK believes itll peak in 14 weeks. And a lot of financial houses are pricing in a global recession.
 
I scooped up some cheap hedge fund stocks today. As ghoulish as it sounds, I hope the market falls again before Tuesday. That way I get more value out of the dividend payment. I could double my holdings if the drop another 12%.

@MagpulPony  
50k?!  
That is dubious claim. Goddamnit 50k means the USA done f’d up.
 
Also 8 weeks?! That’s almost 2 months of inactivity–omg the amount of catching up they have to do would be insane.
 
Spanish govt are already subsidizing restaurants, bars, clubs and tourist sites because they got hit hard by the lockdown. They finna be spending loads of money that they can’t get back.
 
Ho boy when this all over they gonna be blaming someone, anyone.

Live as of right now: everyone entering NZ will be required to self-isolate for 14 days. Cargo and packages still allowed, and strong restrictions to prevent the spread to Polynesia.
 
Personally, I’m concerned it’s too little, too late, and would rather than they seal the borders two weeks ago.

Ugh. I gon’ die.
 
This is major bs for real.
 
Spain is the 2nd italy confirmed.

@tehwatever  
Start with China.

@MagpulPony  
They can go fuck themselves. It came from their bio weapons lab and they know it.

@lonewolf  
Well they’re blaming us saying that the US owes them answers and access to our data. As fucking if.

On an actual lighter note: I’ve seen memes about this, and I’ll be dammed the Pawn Stars actually did it.
 

@lonewolf  
Easy on the conspiracy theories, there.

And in the actual virus thread we see Rainbow Dash…

why did nobody respond to me

@Slingring  
Last time I checked you were shit-posting.

So the first case of COVID-19 has been confirmed in my city.
 
The worst thing about this, is that there was a second one to be confirmed in the same hospital I work, and the patience who gave the sample ran away…
