Know that Six degrees of Separation thing?

I am two degrees. Or is it three? ...from a confirmed coronavirus infected person.

Me -> My parents (retired) -> Another couple in the same retirement community as my parents who play bocce ball with them. They are on this cruise ship. Wife has tested positive. Total of 17 passengers are from the same retirement community as well. No, my parents are not one of them on that ship. Nor have I ever come into contact with these people myself.

You and your family are in danger of all dying in exactly 3 weeks.

lol sometimes too much info isn't good. They will all be quarantined anyways. So far SF sits at 2 cases but there may be a few more undetected. Probably higher chances of winning a few grand in the lottery than catching it unless the numbers rise sharply.

Already are. Ship has been stuck out in the Bay for alike three days now or something.

I'm surprised they let them out here as they were figuring out if SF had the proper cdc procedures in place. They must have gotten rid of all the hobos within the perimeter. It's pretty nice to finally have less traffic in the city again.

Me Two.

What a half ass fag. Took him 40+ years to realize he is into weird shit. And fuck didn’t even specify if he pitches or catches. Low quality fag clearly.

Dude, you just made everyone at Patrick.net THREE or FOUR degrees of separation from The Coronavirus. You realize... this means Apocalypsefuck and I will now have to take zombie invasion measures against this perceived threat, like the Founding Fathers intended!

There doesn't seem to be that much to worry about if you're reasonably young and healthy, and a non-smoker. Most of the deaths are elderly or smokers or have big health problems already.

Work from home if you can. Wash your hands. Have a glass of red wine (some evidence that it reduces flus, and definitely reduces tension). Watch a movie.

DIE, DISEASED BOOMFUCKS, FUCKING DIE ALREADY!

That guy is a little over the top in my opinion.

A week or two from now we're going to have a better picture of this, as they are doing a lot more testing.

I agree. He did have a good point about how all our meds come from China and India and they can and will without it if they need it. We should require at least some medicine to be made in USA.

I'm going to do the complete opposite and go on a cruise. lol. Although they did just offer an updated cancellation policy. I'm actually looking forward an empty ship. And if you like cruises or have thought about trying one, booking one now is insanely cheap for the coming months. Mine is a 10 day and with fees baked in you're looking at about $550 for an interior room. Food, booze and room all inclusive.... That's likely cheaper than your everyday living budget for those things.

If this thing goes away kind of quietly. pick up cruise stocks. As long as this doesn't tank the broader overall economy long term, cruise lines can and will recover.

Don't forget: Get ten minutes of sun a day on all the skin you can!! Much better than Vitamin D pills to strengthen your immune system. The pills don't seem to really work at all.
You can get the little bits of skin cancer burned off in your 70's. It's gonna happen anyway because you played outdoors as a kid.

No, these places have waits of over a year to get in. If anything, this virus only has the potential to reduce the waiting time.

@WookieMan you can edit your own comments to fix things if you want.

Already happened to me a couple of years ago. Got a spot of basal cell skin cancer on my lower leg. They cut off the spot and I put some kind of chemo cream directly on it for a few weeks. Has not recurred.

Actually, the scientific paper referred to in the article seems somewhat optimistic:

Population genetic analyses of 103 SARS-CoV-2 genomes indicated that these viruses evolved into two major types...

Although the L type (∼70%) is more prevalent than the S type (∼30%)... Whereas the L type was more prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan, the frequency of the L type decreased after early January 2020. Human intervention may have placed more severe selective pressure on the L type, which might be more aggressive and spread more quickly. On the other hand, the S type, which is evolutionarily older and less aggressive, might have increased in relative frequency due to relatively weaker selective pressure.

Probably 5-fluorouracil. Good stuff.

Yes, that's it.

Use SS Trust to pay off that Deutsche Bank Vig, and buy back all those videos of urinating hookers from the Russkis. MAGA!

I saw Ivanka buying Piña colada mix at Trader Joe's, her hair do was perfect.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

IVANKA! can write a memoir about the horror of getting beard burn between her legs from all the IHL muffin' munching' in jail she'll have to learn to enjoy.

Watching Ivanka get rag dolled by bush munching IHLs in prison will be worse than watching lions tearing apart gazelles in the Serengeti. Her chain mail yoga pants won't save her.

Fucking Irish skin.

That a new term. Usually, all I hear is just the first 2 words of that phrase.

For slow growing skin cancer such as BCC this is the standard of care and an example of how much progress medicine has made, and how much more there is potentially still to make. You put it on regularly while you go on with your regular life and it stops it from spreading deeper and eventually cures you from it. Pretty cool.
