well, if you masturbate more, you wash your hands more. hopefully.

Sir, the quarantine units are slowly making their way. We must ensure the safety of our users since it can spread through the internet :p

It’s a virus but not that kind of virus


I'm surprised Trump didnt warn computer designers about the corona virus before warning everyone else. "Ladies and gentlemen, the coronavirus is a very bad virus. I know alot about viruses. I was watching p- I mean I was doing very important work, and all of the sudden this alert popped up on my screen saying 'FBI alert.' Then my computer crashed and I screamed probably the loudest I ever have. We cant let that happen to anyone ever again, so I'm taking the corona virus very seriously. What's that? It's not a computer virus? What?! Oh shit!"

At least hopefully this leads to an increased sense and care for bio-security in the future. And also rethinking health care and other important things really.

The UK's original plan of quarantining the at risk population and letting everyone else build up a herd immunity probably would have worked, but it would've looked unacceptably bad for an elected government.
But as for the rest of us, luck it is.
