The 2019-2020 Coronavirus outbreak thread

[Salandriagado]

No situation in Italy is escalating as of now, with Hospital and Health care system reaching their limit and being overhelmed.

I could've sworn that their case growth was finally slowing, fuck.

The rate of new infections probably is. The pressure on the hospitals is going to keep getting worse for another week or two yet, though, even if the lockdown is doing its job perfectly.

[Salandriagado]

Small scale landlords are exactly who I'm thinking about here. They're being given a break on their mortgage payments. They won't lose the properties they're renting out.

Are the landlords still responsible for maintenance?

Mine has sent an email that amounts to "we aren't maintaining shit for the foreseeable future for 'safety reasons'".

I got slight dry cough since a while. But no fever or pressure on lungs. Nor any other of the dramatic symtoms so far. And I've have it since a while.

Pour one out for all the people with allergies, permanent sore throats, and congestion during these trying times.

Italy went from 4,000 to 41,000 cases in two weeks.
They're getting almost 4,000 new cases a day. It's horrid.

I have a persistent dry cough with no other symptoms too lol. I think it's the time of year rather than anything else. But I got a funny look when I coughed in view of a woman walking to the shops yday lmao

If you have problems with allergies, it is indeed the time of year for those. If you develop other symptoms, then that’s only when I’d worry. But you probably only have your yearly battle with allergies and nothing more.

It's very concerning indeed.

You are just continuing your campaign for cthulu for president arent you?

I hear that Great Cthulhu is considering choosing a devastating plague as his vice-presidential candidate, yes.

At present, we haven't been given official word over whether His Eldritchness favours bubonic plague, the Red Death, or COVID-19, though given the latter's presence in all 50 states, surely we now have a clear favourite at this point.

Bro, who came up with "Kung Flu?" These people are fucking clever xD

Great Cthulhu is the candidate of change.

Change, enslavement of the few humans who survive the inevitable awaiting slaughter, and preservation of international heritage sites as temples to the hideous unspeakable rites of the Great Old Ones.

As the candidate of change, Great Cthulhu would never choose an old-fashioned disease like scarlet fever as his running mate. COVID-19 far better represents his pledge to transform our world while culling the weak.

I'm a supporter of Scarlet Fever, it's catchy slogan of "Make Contagion Great Again!" really resonates.

Well it was a baby. Perhaps booze and nicotine wouldn't be the best treatment. But is this carries on long enough it might be all that's left...

Should have chased after her coughing to see what she did.

But seriously don't fucking do that, I'm just bullshitting for a bit of light relief, don't cough on others. Wash your hands etc etc.

I’m quite surprised. I don’t think we’ve heard of such cases in over a century or more.

[Liriena]

I feel like Republicans are purposefully being petty over the whole "Chinese virus" thing because they know it's gonna make Democrats look cringe af as they make that their hill to die on.

Yes, calling it the "Chinese virus" or any variation of that is pretty much xenophobic flamebaiting. It's also stupid, low-tier dog-whistling for stupid people. We can and should support people of Asian descent in majority-white countries that are getting shat on by dumb, paranoid people, but dealing with this petty bullshit is not the best approach for it.

It's actually not all that uncommon. It's a complication of strep A and there is no vaccine. It's just not a big deal anymore, antibiotics kick its ass.

I like how the GOP threw all their orthodoxy and bullshit overboard in less than 72 hours.
