Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

I got pulled over for speeding yesterday. As the officer approached my car, I donned my face mask and coughed. He said drive safely and walked away.

Interesting change to the data presented in the link below... Now includes a column for "Total Cases per 1 MM of population"

Several already more than China.... Again, I continue to be suspect of data coming out of China...

I remember the same types of arguments before Y2K. The preppers and doomsday hopefuls would get mad as hell when someone would call for rational thinking. When nothing happened they were actually disappointed. Now, there have actually been people die so it's Y2Kx2. Never mind that you're MUCH more likely to be killed in your car or from a weather event. At least 24 people died in Nashville this week. May MANY more deaths will follow this tornado season. So how many of you are running around in a panic screaming for more tornado shelters? Nope we need to freak out over this virus. Get mad when someone makes a joke or says they will continue with their normal life. Let's just all panic and spread fear. That always helps.

How do you rationally avoid a virus? Avoid cruise ships and WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS!













I'm digging a hole and waiting for someone to tell me when to come out. See how happy I am that doomsday is finally here.

Must be single ply, septic safe. That plush double ply striking paper is for city use only.

Grocery Store this morning had plenty of everything except Lysol and cleaning supplies, that aisle was wiped clean.

But seriously all cleaning supplies were out of stock it was a strange sight.

Agree 100%
It will come here, maybe here already.
Build up your immunities and use it as a chance to check your preps. I found several shortcomings in mine. Fixed them.

all true except for when it isnt. rounded numbers indicate 20% go to the hospital (using italy's numbers)
that will overwhelm all of our healthcare system. There will be people in urgent care centers that should be in the hospital. people in the hospital waiting for a spot in ICU, people at home that should be in a hospital because there is no room.

and that, sir, is how the deathrate will rise. In my opinion at least.
