The Virus Outbreak Thread

@MagpulPony  
exactly.
 
also found this, which is pretty accurate…  

@Patachu  
WHO should be defunded and dismantled. What a pathetic failure of an organization.

With Masks Unavailable, People Get Creative. Too Creative.
 
Also, Bloomberg News is doing it’s part to shill for the CCP by saying ‘Nah, those Chinese wet markets are great, they’re actually healthier than supermarkets!’ Fortunately, they’re getting torn to shreds in the comments.

@Zerowinger  
Ppl putting on weird ass cosplay IRL unironically. I never thought I’d see the day where everyone looks like a VR Chat custom character. And like VRChat, you can’t really touch the other person.
 
OMG this is some meta shit.
 
Also not a single one of them puts on a niqaab, which basically fulfills all the requirements for social distancing on a budget? Come on ppl we’ve already got the solution. Use it.
 

 
shower thought: I wonder if the police in France are still arresting niqaabi women these days. It’d be freaking hilarious if you see a niqaabi getting arrested while ppl in plastic bags and bucket helmets are walking around with no issues.

@Zerowinger  
You have to admit though, scuba gear is definitely a good way to avoid inhaling the virus. If they make mask wearing mandatory countrywide (which would be absolutely stupid considering how in short supply they already are), I’ve got Jason and V masks, and my pilot helmet and oxygen mask for my NLR Air Force pilot cosplay.
 
And KS is at 845 and 25. Still no new cases in my county.

@lonewolf  
CDC already said everyone in the country should be wearing a mask.

@MagpulPony  
Not mandatory/enforced though.

@lonewolf  
No but it should and could be soon. Not necessarily N95 medical masks, but just any kind of cloth face covering on every single person would greatly help.

Doctors are now finding that an increasing number of coronavirus patients are suffering from not only lung problems, but also heart problems. With people dying from cardiac arrest while having no lung issues.

fursuiters and cybergoths everywhere!
 
 
@MagpulPony  
and other organs failing during the infection, it’s been observed.  
and not knowing what kind of sequels are gonna happen. I think only time will tell us.

@Patachu  
I hope this trend continues post quarantine because I like seeing ppl going out dressing as their custom character without any irony.
 
Fursuits and cybergoths and paperbags and funny hats.
 
I wonder if masks in public will start trending again in europe.
 
I wonder if France is getting a major headache from it. They ban any kinda masks in public after all, so seeing ppl in public with accesories that obscure more than half of the face must be giving them the biggest cringe.

@tehwatever  
Probably security reasons. Similar rules kind of exist here but i don’t think to as high a degree.

@tehwatever  
Crininals in powerr prefered to lie and claim masks / protection were useless. more recently they admitted they lied because there was no stock.
 
let’s underline the government did purchase all the stocks fronm DIY stores. and what did they do? send about a million to China, and the rest? we don’t have the logistic so we proceed to their destruction.
 
it was in january.  
But well that explains why there’s still people who must work outside with improvised masks, cops and cashiers, even in the hospitals.
 
Now the orders are like “If you have masks return them to the pharmacy”  
hell no I need it when I go outside.
 
the WHO lied. Did not warn in time, minimized the situation and that’s where we are now.
 
 
@MagpulPony
 
yeah probably, but it’s better than nothing even if it is not certified.

@Patachu  
I’ve got a military gas mask to wear if I have to go out at some point in the near future

@MagpulPony  
Yea no I know what their reasoning is. I personally would rather see someone’s face and know what they’re carrying on their person, so I could feel much safer knowing they don’t got nothing weird on.
 
I just want to know if France is having even a minor “Curb your face mask ban” moment, which would be hilariously ironic, especially considering women in niqaab because:
 
Women in niqaab DON’T commit crime, they DON’T touch other ppl, they wear gloves, they keep their distance and they wear a mask–and that’s on a normal day.
 
Can you see WHY it’s tragic, ironic and also very funny in a weird way?

@tehwatever  
The necessary reversal of policy in the interest of the greater good? Sure.

@Zerowinger  
why the shoe man

Had to go in and get a test done, and boy do they suck. I hope like hell those fast tests are less arduous, as having a probe shoved down my throat and both nostrils for 15 seconds a piece isn’t fun.
 
At least the staff, including the Californian usher were nice enough.

Don’t know if this was already posted. But, I heard that shop towels are an excellent material if you want to make a face mask, as supposedly as much as three layers can completely block the virus from getting through.
 
Little food for thought if you can’t find a propper medical mask.

SCOTUS blocks request to delay Wisconsin primary  
The truth is, Republicans don’t care if people get sick, They only care about themselves and turning the US into a dictatorship.  
THIS WILL ONLY MAKE CASES SPIKE NATIONWIDE AND THEY WON’T CARE!!! FUCK SCOTUS!!!

@Typhoon2000  
So it looks like tyranny is the way of the future…

@Wiimeiser  
Bingo, The GOP is evil and vile, This also applies to supporters of the party.

@Typhoon2000  
Take it to the politics thread, mate.

@MagpulPony  
But this sham primary will only stop the current trend of flattening the curve
