The Virus Outbreak Thread

@Egil  
“it’s just the flu” Yeah, sure it is.

@Egil  
HOL UP.  
…  
considering what day we’re in…I’ll wait until tomorrow to verify if this shit real. Because it looks like a goddamn cruel joke.

@tehwatever  
Yeah, I don’t think that country is in a very joking mood right now unfortunately. April 1st or not.

Who are you gonna call?
 

Just got back from a staff meeting. There are businesses that laid off huge chunks of their staff. Turns out everyone at my job agreed to work fewer hours if it meant no one got laid off.
 

All residents of Los Angeles told to wear masks when outside.

Death toll in China likely past 30 to 40 thousand according to health officials in the UK.

We just invented a supermarket through our mobile phones. Pretty much like ebay but sells veggies and meat products.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Hasn’t that been a thing for a while?

@MagpulPony  
From my district it is exclusive. That’s a thing I already know.

What do you know, the college students that ignored orders to avoid traveling during spring break…got infected. What are the odds?
 

@Background Pony #D889  
Every single one?

@Wiimeiser  
Yep.

Pffff……HA!
 

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
I can’t hear the Freeway anymore. Weird.

If I get it (and I seem to be convinced into a lot of travel) I’m dead as I likely have COPD.

My village, as in literally the very village where my house is located has confirmed it’s first case of the coronavirus.
 
 
It’s a 64 year old male, now we’re all being briefed by our homeowners officials and the local authorities block to block to trace those people who have previously interacted with him.
 
We’re all gonna have to get disinfected/sprayed by this.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Bunch of cases in my shithole neighborhood. No spraying or anything though. My old neighborhood? Not 1 single case.

@MagpulPony  
How many exaxt?

On the good side, me and my brother had never left our house since the lockdown for more than 2 minutes except buying supplements.
 
We’ll be strictly forbidden to be outside from now on even a few meters away from my front door.

Hi folks! I just wanted to share some good news. It appears I have survived the corona virus disease. :-)
 
I still feel a little weak, but the fever and infection in my lungs have gone now. I have to stay in hospital for a while, most for safety reasons, but maybe I will be allowed to go home in 2-3 weeks at least. But the quarantine would be continued there for legal reasons.
 
And my cell phone will be monitored from now on to see where I am. But this is what I chose to do. Comes better if you don’t resist the current law and order and work with them together. Even though I love my country, but it’s not a particularly good idea to mess with the local authorities in Germany right now. At least not in Corona times. They can hardly take a joke on this subject at the moment. In my region this is still okay, but I have already heard from friends about attacks by the police and merciless decisions by the authorities in other parts of the country. Well, let’s hope this calms down sometime. At the moment everyone is just incredibly nervous and latently stressed. :-/

@DarkObsidian  
Wonderful news! You now have the antibodies, and hopefully you’ll get out of this one in good health!

@DarkObsidian  
Yes!
