Right.

Better to over prepare than under prepare seems to be the case here TBH, Italy is a good example of it, a few cases, no worries. A couple weeks later whole country is on lockdown.
Yup


Our kids didn't go to school today and aren't going tomorrow. Friday they were scheduled to be off anyway, and I'll wager dollars to donuts they start digital learning days on Monday.

I have no problem being considered crazy or paranoid. Zero ****s given.

It's exactly the same mantra as carrying a gun or self defense or anything else. Avoidance trumps all. Disengagement trumps everything other than avoiding in the first place. Ounce of prevention pound of cure. Get ahead of the curve. Whatever you want to call it. Don't wait for somebody to tell you to do the obvious because you're afraid of not doing what everybody else is

The St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City was postponed for the first time in its history Wednesday amid growing concerns over the fast-spreading coronavirus.

The 258-year-old event, which draws about 250,000 marchers and as many as 2 million spectators, has taken place rain or shine each year since before the Revolutionary War.

Everything is about to be officially cancelled.

One can only hope. Going anywhere with a large number of people is a poor choice right now.

My wife is Catholic. I'm agnostic. Makes for some interesting conversations at times but she knew that going in 24+ years years ago. There was a communication from the diocese that they were cancelling all "events" but masses would still be held. I told her (for about the 3rd time in a week) they should just cancel mass or do it via stream.

She said it's not the same as being there and that God would protect them. I rolled my eyes and walked away. Reminds me of the joke Catholics tell where the guy is stuck on a roof during a hurricane and boats keep coming by to help but the man on the roof keeps saying "I'm fine--God has a plan and will rescue me." Guy on roof dies and when he gets to the pearly gates, he says "why did you abandon me??". Peter looks at him and says, "well, we sent four boats for you."

Some of ya'll are so caught up in "media bad!" that you can't ****ing see the real deal happening right in front of you - with multiple countries going down one after the other the same way. I think some of you believe we're in some sort of impenetrable bubble in the US.

Can't sleep tonight for chit. My mind has the best of me. I hope in a month...two months...whatever that I just look like an absolute fool, but I'm genuinely scared for what the next month or so will look like. I honestly can't think of a situation in my life so far so that has me as rattled as I am right now.

Can't be that bad. China seems to have it under control. Worst case might be getting sick. I don't think it's going to be looting and anarchy, military presence will be strong enough to dissuade that.

I've got bad news if you think that the U.S. military can police the entire United States when it couldn't police Afghanistan and Iraq.

They have the advantage of infrastructure here, and most people would be more compliant than a foreign country.

But I doubt it will come to that.

Saddam had built a massive highway system in Iraq for his army. Didn't matter. You've got 330 mn people in the US, spread over 3.8 mn sq miles. Iraq is 160k sq miles. Good night...

This is kind of neat, a bit busy in the target window but the shot counter is cool. Hate the battery life on it though, 50 hour run time. Fck that.

And then we have this guy

"I think everyone needs to stop worrying about this cause it’s not a big deal. Just go along with you daily life and forget about it. There are 100’s of things we are exposed to or take part of willingly on a daily basis that has a greater chance of causing us harm or killing us. People over reacting is causing people like me to suffer the consequences, I’m a truck driver and now I’m being forced to work my full DOT week of 70 hours to haul supply because of all this crap. You want to know what’s deadly? My ass falling asleep behind the wheel of a 40 ton moving vehicle, And I’m not along in this, tons of truck drivers being worked to the bone to haul supply. I have a family that I’m barely getting to see now because of all this bs. I’ve had one day, one freaking day off in the last two weeks. I’m tired as hell and so sick of hearing about this. Hell In all honestly getting this damn virus would be a god send because this lack of sleep and all this on the road junk fast food is killing me a lot faster then this virus could or would."

Local posted that. And it's getting the likes.

Italian hospitals so overwhelmed that doctors are literally proposing a max age to treat in order to focus efforts on younger patients that might actually kick the virus.
If that doesn't wake you the fk up to the severity of this, nothing will. In the year 2020, with the most advanced medicine has ever been, doctors are being forced to sit by and let older patients die. Italian death rate almost at 7%...

Mother nature thinning the herd, or perhaps those conspiracy theories about this being from that biolab a few hundred yards from that market are right?

I'm not going to totally discount the possibility of the lab angle . . . because there's always the chance. But China has been the source of these diseases more than once. Not really a stretch to see why this probably is just another one. This was a pretty interesting discussion of "why China?".

Got a USPS tracking confirmation and update on those N95 masks I ordered. Scheduled to arrive Friday. So . . . looks like it will come through. Now the question will be if they are really 3M N95 masks when they get here? Given the shortage and panic, there's still a part of me that is suspicious of bait & switch but all seems legit so far. Think I just got lucky and randomly stumbled upon a place that briefly had some.

Now this is interesting. I could only imagine it would be hard to prove intent, they could claim (to an extent) they did not know they were sick. Not easy once symptoms get obvious of course.

Unrelated, I chose a bad time to order some stuff from China, few flashlights and another gun bag on sale, estimated ship date.... November 2020-March 2021. Ah well, guess I will see if that goes out. INB4 containment breach from opening the box.

It's impossible to prove and no one will be charged they are just trying to scare people into compliance which hopefully works

I would not put it past a government to enforce it, at least a bit, to prove a point.

Yeah I may have spoken too soon. I don't know anything about the Italian justice system other than from when that American girl got tried for murder over there.

In the US if you have to prove intent its almost impossible to get a conviction on white collar stuff at least. I've handed over complete cases on insurance fraud where I did 99.9% of the leg work and can't get anyone to follow up

This is a pandemic. People are dying, countries are shutting down, doctors are suggesting they set a rule flat refusing to treat over 65, and ****ing retards are still not caring and happily spreading it to others "because it's a media scare tactic". It is absolutely reasonable to expect they will throw your retarded selfish ******* self in prison so you and others stop ****ing around.

You're right. This is an unprecedented situation so who knows what will happen. When's the last time something like this happened? Spanish Flu of 1918?

This.

Went to visit my grandpa last week and at the check in, asking you a series of questions at the nursing home to try to prevent it getting there. Hopefully nobody is lying. Curious what measures they’ll take to ensure it doesn’t happen
the above post is not serious and is for entertainment purposes only.
Thanks for your time.

Depends how it plays out.

Hopefully it's not a huge deal and it's not as bad as 1918 and people lol at the overreactions. That would be awesome.

But it's also possible that yeah it will be "since 1918" before it's said and done.

The more people realizenow(or a week ago) that it could be that bad the more likely we are to look back and say it was over reaction. It's that catch 22 kind of thing like the IT guys complain about either why do we spend all this money what's it for (when it's working) or why do you spend all this money if it doesn't even work.

Realizing how serious it could be, NOW, is the best way to keep it from happening like that

I think our advancement is what is hurting us; never before has it been so easy to travel the world. You can get sick in one country and be in another, infecting all in between, with a day.

It just shows how weak we are to pandemics. Hopefully this is not as bad as it seems, but it is a wake up call and causes more to be done in prevention for future viral outbreaks.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Yeah . . . Spanish Flu is probably the best comparison. Or maybe Polio. Although Spanish Flu was a buzzsaw and killed tens of millions worldwide (and I think almost 700k here). I don't think anyone sees COVID-19 getting that bad but this is probably the next closest thing in terms of global pandemic where ronburgundythatescalatedquickly.gif happened.

^That. Take it seriously now . . . do all the smart things and err on the side of caution and be aggressive with social distancing. Odds are, this will be looked back at and you'll see a far-less-than-worst-case result in terms of deaths. But you don't have that then if you're not smart about it now.
