The Virus Outbreak Thread

@MagpulPony  
On the other hand, Australia is imprisoning anyone who violates lockdown, and fining them AU$20,000. This will last until October BTW.

@Badheart  
I do.

@Egil  
Gimme a chance to move and then do it.
 
 
@Wiimeiser  
We’re not at that point yet. I’m actually leaving for the day on Friday to head up to my old neighborhood. I’ll try to get some pictures if it looks abandoned which would actually be kinda cool.

@Wiimeiser  
That’s just as bad from the other direction. I mean, 1 or 2 months is reasonable, but 6 WHOLE MONTHS?!

@MagpulPony  
New York also did the same. And much like New York, chances are they’ll mostly be people in for Non-violent drug offenses

@Kiryu-Chan  
And also burglars, car thieves, robbers, vandals, and anything else deemed “non violent”

@MagpulPony  

 
Wow, did they forgot that will further spread the virus.

Salt Lake County, Utah might be considering their own shelter-in-place order. I wouldn’t be surprised if it also goes statewide.

@SombrLiz  
CA went full retard a long time ago.

@SombrLiz  
Who knows. LAPD already has their hands full.

1,700 criminals, abandoned cars and open roads.
 
Hmm…

I wonder… If this pandemic had happened in the 1720s, would it have wiped us out entirely or sent us back to the caveman days?

@Wiimeiser  
It would have eventually burned itself out after millions of deaths.

Waffle House is also being affected. They announced that they are closing hundreds of their restaurants.

@Wiimeiser  
It might do that now if all the no immunity rumours are true.

@Wiimeiser  
Australia’s in the Southern Hemisphere and it’s already fall there, And soon Winter, That will likely make the virus worse there.

@Wiimeiser
 
@Typhoon2000  
That explains the October timeframe, I guess.

@Egil  
Is it too late to purge these morons? Cause they’re spreading stupidity.

@Wiimeiser
 
Homie, the Black Death happened in a even less advanced stage of medicine, killed a far larger share of the population wherever it went through, and humanity survived anyway - not without some serious societal rearrangement, though.

@Egil  
Yup, The Far-Right is being very dangerous during this virus

Wuhan Virus  
…look I dont mind the name China Virus or CCP Virus even if I dont use em, but it kinda sorta tells me they being political about it.
 
We in Spain been getting them from ITALY, because they failed to act fast and it broke into all over Europe–and now Europe is the #1 hotspot for the virus, like Iran, but we dont call it the Italian Mistake virus or the Iranian Blunder virus.
 
See what I mean?
 
I’ll call it the Chinavirus once we’re over this mess. For now chinese and asian doctors are working with the rest of the world in tandem, doing Solidarity Trials to produce as many tests as possible on possible cures including the promising choloroquine, Remdesivir and Ritonavir (whatever they are)
 
Out of respect for the doctors on the frontline in china, I’m still sticking to the Coronavirus name.
 
Fuck the CCP, tho.

@Egil  
Charge them with bio terrorism.
