Try to stay positive... you'll need your strength for the hysteria yet to come.

Even on the cruise ships, fewer than 20% of the people tested positive.

And as long as we keep all the dirty Chinese and Mexicans out of the country we'll totes be fine amirite?

Just seeing you makes me want to spray everything down with Lysol.

I hope you washed your hands.

Anyway, I'm leaving for Canada in five days. Hopefully nothing drastic happens before then.

Welcome. We have testing kits and we won’t charge $1k+ for it if you need it.

Where in Canada are you headed? BC is the only warm/hot spot right now...

dow futures were down 1,000 points after Trump's speech last night. djia currently down 1,700 points. this is probably going to get worse before it gets better.

Would not shock me to see us hit the 3rd circuit breaker today. If so, lord knows what will happen tomorrow.

Looks like capitulation, so perhaps the bottom is near.

I am disappointed. Expected you to be more of the dried food/heirloom seed kind of guy.

Spoiler:

Also going to give you cats some of the best apocalypse advice out there: if you ever see **** hitting the fan, make sure you stock up on spices (salt, pepper, and whatever else you can get your plague infected hands on). People used to sail into the unknown looking for that ish and would be worth more than gold in a SHTF scenario.

I feel like there is a non-zero chance that all of this Corona Virus stuff is all Feely's fault.

Discuss...

Possible the virus is some mutation of the AIDS sprinkled around by Feely and Zoltard.

China wouldn't shut down the entire country for months and going on indefinitely on a whim nor is it something they did in the past as they basically went on business as usual for prior outbreaks like SARs, their reaction to this is orders of magnitude more severe

i have full faith we'll beat it, but it's quite clear nobody is acting until it's staring them in the face so I'll advise people to avoid crowds, stay at home as much as possible, don't eat food you didn't prepare yourself, stay away from olds that you love, and wash those hands like they are lynda carter and you're a 14 year old fw

my parents were about to go on vacation to florida and i talked them out of it - ithe real danger of this disease is that more people get sick than can be treated at a time so hospitals are forced to pick and choose who will live and who will let their lungs fill up with liquid and die - if you're an old or your olds are in a region with lots of other olds then if possible relocate them to a place with more millenials, they'll hate the asslicking conversations they'll be forced to endure but guys like rtp and 67o are the kind that get corona and didn't even realize they were sick and don't take that bed/respirator your old needs to survive for 2 weeks in ICU

But the flu herp derp only sick olds die.

Unfortunately this will continue to be the attitude of most people until it's not. Until they either need a respirator or someone close to them does and there won't be one available because everyone else also has that same attitude.
