I think I'll start to change my behavior if we get uncontrolled infections in the bay area. "uncontrolled" meaning

- 10 stranger to stranger transmissions within 1 week
- multiple sources with multiple recipients (vs 1 person who gives it to 10 ppl)
- spreading on different locations and different days

I think at that point, it's very likely that the # of infected is about to explode. I think Italy just went from like 3 to 450 in 4 or 5 days or something. Maybe they had a reporting problem that caused it to appear to grow so fast, but it could have also just been a few ppl who were sick but didn't know it yet, and blissfully unawaringly spread it to many others.

I'm not really worried about myself dying, but it seems to have a mortality rate of 8-15% for older people, which is pretty high IMO. I come in contact with some older people who don't otherwise have much exposure and so I'd hate to be the one to bring it to them. Behavior will need to change at some point anyway.

Some people talk about ebola or HIV, but they are statistically different models.

Ebola is like a fast burning brush fire. It is highly infectious, but there is not a long latency period of nominal health before symptoms emerge, and the victims mostly die rapidly. They don't walk around for prolonged periods nominally healthy but actively infectious. This makes it easier to contain and quarantine, in spite of the severity of the illness.

HIV is not highly infectious, per se, but requires parenteral inoculation of some kind. However, it is carried in infected individuals for long periods when the carriers can appear to be in good health and can continue to spread it. Thus, it can spread wide and far in spite of not being highly infectious like airborne virii. Also, HIV tends to be restricted to the parenteral inoculators, so it has more predicable populations.

Coronavirus is highly infectious, but also has enough latency in healthy appearing individuals to spread, so it has a long smolder period. It is also transmitted by fomites, air and food apparently, and can get in by lungs. That is the kind that is hard to overcome. If it is weaponized and they wanted it to spread, that is the way they would have made it.

More paranoia for the paranoid? HIV homologs spliced into Coronavirus? Is his suggestion that it was designed to cause a short term flu/cold with cold spreading vectors, but have the long term consequences of HIV?

Now they know what to do with all of that warehoused napalm.

If I'm a firing squad member, do I get to shoot a M134?

Not sure if this was already reported here, but the Chinese stole the virus from a Canadian lab, then the outbreak occurred less than a year later. The province it occurred in has more train stations than anyplace in China. The outbreak occurred within a few miles of the only lab in China certified to study a disease like that. Not saying it's intentional, just that mankind's arrogance once again proves to be his downfall. The sheer stupidity of people who think they can control nature...

So what is it, Bitcoin, Colloidal Silver, or investing in some offshore Libertarian Sea Construction?

Has to be napalm to destroy the virus. Machine-gunned remains are still infectious!

@AF, you are slipping. It is SLANTED-EYE coronaplague!

Keep hope alive, Jazz!

Leave me out of this

WTF? This is your post/thread... you are this...

I was up the price of a house in California since October, now I’m up only the price of 2 houses in Florida.

I just wish I had more cash to buy more today.

I would never reveal anything about myself here.

WTF X2? What are you talking about? No one asked anything of you on your own post. Calm down.

Article is on rollingstone... dufus.

Exactly!

Why are sniffles required?

How about a vaccine that only immunizes RichFucks, and improves their sniper aim from penthouses?

YAMS!

That's already out there, it's called liberalism.

It's nonsense that the great US of A is unprepared to handle pandemic. Gasp, Choke, Collapse.

Left is still worshipping their racism, while calling everyone racist. To hell with those faggots! Fuck them, they can go die in a fire for all I care.

My monster cock will shield you from all plagues!

Translation: let the oligarchs have their way and maximize their potential for profit as if they were the sole inhabitants of this country.

Right, because from Clinton to Obama, Banks weren't totally deregulated and then bailed out, all the Administrations and Bureaucrats in the Departments didn't mock the idea of even trying to slow down Outsourcing of Industry to China, etc. since the mid-90s.

You realize we went from largely made in the USA at Walmart circa 1992 to almost nothing by 2012, from lawnmowers to TVs.

Oh wow, the panic!
LOL

Most liberals are going to die from it

Six Months from Now:

#ORANGEMANBAD had NOTHING to do with the Flu not killing 100,000 Americans!

Clintons killed him, obviously.

The pandemic of illegal immigrants?

Did you think you couldn't find a crazy amongst Trump's 100 million supporters?

I'm sure you could find a sane bernie supporter or two, and try to make the same illogical leap.

This is called confirmation bias, and it deeply affects those afflicted w TDS.

There, fixed it.

Unless you're 80 running low on funds, this doesn't matter to most. Most likely didn't save anything anyway and Corona is just the right medicine for them anyway.

I'd be dumping money in now if you're under 50. Totally buying. These are one of those dips that could take 3-4 years off for private sector peeps that are 30-40 with regards to retirement.

People are fucking stupid.

A comely lass with sniffles, relieved of the burden of her virtue until she is disease free, is patriotic and healthy, as the Founding Fathers intended

Yeah... 80 yrs old who didn't save definitively deserve to get sick and die.
Right wing morality tale.

What does this have to do with right wing or left? What are you talking about?

The only people panicking are those that didn't save. That was my point. And yes, if an 80 year old died because they didn't have the finances, that's on them. Not taxpayers. Harsh, but reality. I don't expect anyone to bail me out ever, so I prepare. Everyone should do the same...

If you aren’t buying dips, you are missing out.

No one is gonna hold your hand and tell you to buy now.

Am I a Medal of Freedom contender or what?

Clearly!

It started last week

I keep winning at Cards. I tried to lose to my kid playing dominos but I still won.

That's when I knew something was really right with me.

I had the Trump Virus.

Eric, stop drooling on the money, it's supposed to be laundered, not masticated!

Are there any Coronaplague Angels out on Sand Hill Road with committed venture capital yet?
