I am interested to hear what Roy Moore (the Ephebophile who rode a horse to vote for himself) and Art Thompson (CEO of the John Birth Society) have to say about the start of a pandemic. I suspect the cause is not letting Roy Moore boink 16 year olds he meets in the Mall and Communists.

And Alex Jones claims to suffer from a mania that makes it so he could not believe that Sandy Hook was anything but Crisis Actors. He will probably use this to sell MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) or herbal supplements or eggs that he shoves up his vagina.

Of the over 8,000 people so far infected, more have died than have gotten better?!? If you look at just the numbers who have died compared to total infections, maybe 3.4% mortality rate.
A colleague of mine is convinced the Chinese government designs these viruses to weed out the weak and keep population control down. I completely disagree for many reasons, but man, it still amazes me how loosely screened travellers are at this time on an international level, and how many places are using incomplete testing while possible sick travellers are out and about.

5 bucks say it's some kind of overpriced food supplement that'll claim to fix being overweight, a reclining hairline, suffering from delusions and/or having a limp dick...
In other news: TOP SECRET sources claim the Red Chinese have been researching stealth funeral pyre tech for years.

But didn't the newspapers say PRC shot themselves in the foot with the 1 kid policy?

Yeah, it’s definitely widespread and still growing, I guess now we have an idea of how quickly things can spread globally now. The low mortality rate is the only saving grace....the day the big bad bug is unleashed, we just might be in trouble.

Yeah all that did was motivate more Chinese to spread their seed outside China’s borders. It’s amazing, you can go to any far flung corner of the globe and it seems the Chinese prosper. Give em a business that stays open 20 hrs a day 7 days a week and they’re happy, don’t care what local conditions are like.

Bout time we had something that could clear out all those Trump stories. The media loves coronavirus. America loves Coronavirus. I love Coronavirus. It's about fucking time we had some kind of apocalyptic thing to remind us that we are all living together on this planet.

I overheard a talking head on the radio with allegedly some kind of credentials state that the reason why the death rate has been so high in Wuhan was because most of the guys there are chain smokers with all sorts of health problems, receiving third-world medical care. Don't know if it's true or not.

It appears that the virus is most deadly among elderly people and those with pre-existing pulmonary conditions. Not to come across as a heartless jerkface, but this could provide a relief to the dying Medicare and Social Security budgets. I'm just trying to see a silver lining in this. I have elderly people I care about, too.

I love the all caps.

Here's hoping the media turns to ALL CAPS from now on for every virus story. It'll be fun.

It’s getting bad...and quick! Not even just the virus itself but all of the major disruptions to everyday life as we know it. From retirees who just lost their life savings, to millions of legitimately sick people who won’t be able to access care due to shortages on everything from hospital beds to nurses to drugs, kids out of school, parents living paycheck to paycheck having to forego income to watch family, the economy and all businesses in general (unless you’re in the toilet paper industry).

As for me, I feel this may be mother nature’s way of reminding us we’re a tad fucked at times. Personally I don’t mind a little shakeup to the status quo of our too-fast lifestyle. Maybe we all need to slow the fuck down and value what’s around us and breathe for once.

Just don't breathe on your friends, apparently. Or use a mask.

Lol, actually that’s the best subtle weapon currently to get back at those you dislike.

And masks never seem to catch on much in North America, a cultural machismo thing probably. I work in the sewers and when my colleagues request a simple mask for extra safety on the job, most office staff call them a bunch of pussies and deny them the mask.
