Take necessary precautions

Patrick says

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.

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.

I haven't seen them taking any young folks off cruise ships in body bags.

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.

Fucking Irish skin.

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.

I just read the title of this post... boy is this one gonna come to bite OP in the ass soon.

OK, DOOMER.

Yes, I've got that kind of skin. Not good in California sunshine.

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.

die diseased insubordinate DIEEEE!!!!

Let's get Fusion GPS on this. Delayed executions are delayed JUSTICE!

Yeah if the fucking Liberals scumbag local Mayors would quit making ships quarantine Passenger Ships full of people until more than 1/3 of the passengers get sick, then release them all into America. Because it wasn't producing the numbers Liberals wanted. That would be fucking great!


Trump could, and probably will announce, that due to this outbreak. For the first time in modern History the Common Cold was politicized creating the Political desire to actually find a cure for the common Cold. As we all know the common cold is an over the counter drug staple. Without it, Walgreen's would have to wait for people to get sick and need drugs to make money. Cold and Flu like symptoms is what keeps these huge pharmacies open. They have wiped out the local pharmacies and depend on people treating cold symptoms.
So there has never been a political desire to cure the common Cold, we've had the technology to do so for well over 50 years. But we do not, because it would cut into over the counter drug profits.

I bet if Trump announced that we now have a Cure for all Corona Virus and most Rhinovirus strains, The Left would blow a fucking fuse, and say Trump handled it wrong.
The only proper way Liberals see Trump handling this would be for him to resign over it.

They are pathetic losers and are going to cry their sorry asses off after Election night again.

We've damn near cured Aids with less than 8 billion dollars the Liberals want to throw at it. That 8 billion would go nicely to finding a common cold cure.
And Chuck, Jerry, Nancy and Peter wont get their Dark Seed Sedition money in their warchest. Fucked again!

And just like that left started pretending they know the Bible...

jazz_music says

Evidently people are just so predictable

Meh, fake news

:
One more for the history books. Not that we aren't all pretty shock proof by now.

“The most stunning part of Trump’s press conference came when he said that, despite the recommendation of health officials, he was reluctant to let Americans off of a cruise ship with 21 infected, because it would increase the reported numbers of cases,” Klein wrote. ” He said he would defer to the vice president, and there is now news that the passengers will be let off. Yet it was quite revealing into Trump’s thought process that he said, ‘I would rather — because I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship. That wasn’t our fault, and it wasn’t the fault of the people on the ship, either.'”

I'm guessing he would prefer that mass testing be put off indefinitely too. Does Trump even have meetings in which people that disagree with him are allowed (or encouraged) to voice their opinions, and give him different options ?

Knowing Trump, he's fully prepared to throw Pence under the bus in a few weeks or months when it becomes more clear that the government didn't prepare well for this over the past couple of months.

Sounds like fake news

You know how the shit works, Fort Wayne.

Hate to break it, they'll probably just tell you to take out the garbage or no swedo nookie.

Still getting the nagging feeling that the whole media blitz about coronavirus was ARRANGED.

But who benefits exactly, and how? Not sure.

Trump scum should hope it's fake news.

Some businesses or clever individuals learned that left feels so desperate, they’ll eat anything as long as it’s anti Trump. Easy advertising business, almost free clicks.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Amazing they can breath through Trump's asshole with Putin's dick in there!

I’m pretty sure Putin’s dick is in Obamas mouth, considering how he chickened out on that red line. I bet Michelle is getting jealous at this point.

Never blame others. It was a legit typo on my end. Own it when you're wrong.

Patrick says

I've sort of had that feeling too at times. Then again shit has been known to happen.

That feeling may be a form of wishful thinking. I still am hopeful that the worst case fears are way way wrong. It may be correct though to be preparing for the worst, even while hoping for a much less severe outcome. - especially since we know the human tendency towards denial with this type of thing.
