Netflix will likely be forced to lower it's video quality because the internets are overloading.

It has always done that, automatically.

Finally, some good news

Monkeys develop protective antibodies to SARS-COV2

If we manage to survive this first strike we might get some herd immunity out of it.

This is not intended to be rude, some people think corrections are rude which is why I am clarifying that it isn’t intended as such

This is good that we found this, a step closer to the cure hopefully

Indeed. It would be incorrect to be aware of the problem and not attempt to correct it.

Edit: Upon further reflection I realized I was the one that fucked up. I stand corrected.

The picture heading that, I guess, has little white antibodies swarming the virus.

They look like toiletpaper.

Best wishes for you and your mother.

Appreciate it.

Quote from: ChairmanPoo
Talk it through with the team

I understand it's largely out of our hands. The diagnosis is still so early, very little is known other than it's there. So surgery may not have even been possible under normal conditions for months. We'll just have to see.

....but I'm wearing a pair of gloves when I walk in there, fuck whoever looks. Hospitals have never made me comfortable. I'm not a germophobe but I'm understand enough to already be mindful of how many places and ways you can contract something. Most especially in hospitals.

edit

Oh yeah. My grocery store just went from 24-hour to 12-hour availability. "In order to better sanitize and restock shelves." Which means by 5:30pm when I've gotten there, it might already be out of stock, especially if people keep up the hoarding. May have to start getting up at 7am to buy groceries, and guaranteed there will be lines of people outside waiting to do the same. Trying to stay positive but shit continues to get incrementally spookier.

Ok, I'm going to need an explanation on what this means. I might just be tired (or a good many other things), but the first half of that sentence confuses me.

for the url, you put [url+(url)] instead of
Code: [Select]
[url=(url)] thus making the thing you intended not a link
You appear to have fixed it already, which is good

If it makes you feel any better, so far I don't think I've seen (or heard) anything particularly out of line for an incoming major hurricane. It's just something of a difference in scale, 'cause it's, like... sequential major hurricanes, across all countries, just with less direct infrastructure damage. Or something. Still, disaster prep for, y'know, a disaster that might shut things down for a while. Lot of it hasn't felt particularly spooky to me, just kind of an understanding nod towards hatch battening.

... now, some of the stuff I've been hearing about on the hospital prep side of things, bit more unsettling. They seem to be expecting and prepping for something worse than a high cat hurricane so far as casualties and whatnot goes. But average people junk's just been kinda' standard territory after going through as many hurricanes as I have. Comforting definitely isn't the right word for it, but it's somewhere adjacent to it and disaster panic. A familiar sort of feeling, like nostalgia except you wish you could take it out behind the shed and old yeller its ass instead of ever dealing with it again, ah ha ha.

That's to clean the Bay12 shitposts out of their blood after successful immunization.

Can't have monkeys getting ideas about magma and such.

Oh shit... what do the hoarders know that we don't understand yet?

Is the trick not obtaining tp, but instead incorporating it into your immune system?

Should we be wrapping tp around our lymph nodes like tissue mummies and eating it off like a huge lizard consuming a shed?

I NEED ANSWERS NOW FOLKS, TIME IS CRITICAL HERE, I DON'T WANT TO STARTING EATING THIS TOILET PAPER AFTER I'VE BEEN SITTING ON IT OR AROUND THE DOG!

Yes, because it is not black death "50% of population dead" epidemic. And "western goverments lied about everything" is untrue, there was some incompetence but they did far less lying than Chinese gov. The worst case scenario is 1% death ratio, and that assumes that we will do absolutely nothing to prevent epidemic.

"goverments lied about everything" is an useless hyperbole.

To be more strict: I am not expecting rationing of consumer products harming sane people. There may be some rationing to prevent hoarding, at limits unreachable by anyone acting normally.

I am expecting rationing of medical supplies - for example ventilators at hospitals may be not sufficient for all, but maybe it will be averted by shutdowns.
