2019 Novel Coronavirus

[jeb6294]

I dont know but I think if Corona killed every career politician in this country we would all be better off - & if that happens then there is in fact a God and I will have my ass back in the pew on short notice!

Absolutely

Of course, to make this work, you would also have to believe that Tom Hanks was also named which is a lot harder to buy into.

Once Cosby went down, nobody is sacred!

One of distilleries is making hand sanitizer too (I think our only distillery?)

They're selling a 750mL bottle at cost: 3$. 

So the cost of the bottle 

Our local one is too, but they are selling it, and the smallest bottle they sell is 1 gallon. People (not businesses) were complaining that they were trying to take advantage of the situation, and they responded with, "We are just trying to stay in business and make it through this thing."

I don't think they are price gauging (?).  They are maybe doing a bit of markup on the cost they are sustaining to produce it.  I can't fault them for that.

We have drive-thru daiquiri shops in New Orleans.

I have never wanted to visit LA more!!!

I have 5.

I have seventy, each one better than the last.

 

[Booo]

I have seventy, each one better than the last.

Then just get rid of the last one and enjoy 69

I don't remember Bill Gates in Forrest Gump?  Man, I got to re-watch that.

I don't see that as taking advantage of the situation at all.

But who tf needs a gallon of hand sanitizer outside of businesses?! 

Flowfold is repurposing their manufacturing facility to make face shields for hospitals. I don't know if the face shields will leave Maine or not. But they have the ability to produce things that are needed so I don't see how that's taking advantage at all (Flowfold is still selling their regular products - I think just what's in stock tho).

They are mainly supplying first responders and hospitals.  The Army Corps bought 4 gallons (for now) for when the river starts to flood here in the next week or two. <-- when that happens it is going to be a real shit show around here.

Not sure if anyone else has seen any of he conspiracy theories, but some are claiming this whole corona thing is intentionally being blown out of proportion to distract everyone's attention.  Supposedly, Epstein and Weinstein both started naming names in order to get easier sentences. If you believe the stories they're coming up with, these high profile cases don't really have it, they were named and using the virus as an excuse to get them out of the public eye.  Prince Andrew got into a world of shit being associated with Epstein so in this case it wouldn't be a stretch to say the Charleswas mixed up in it too...just sayin'.

Of course, to make this work, you would also have to believe that Tom Hanks was also named which is a lot harder to buy into.

Not interested in conspiracy theories but saw some things that seemed interesting.

First I like to follow the health ranger for health advice so I read one of his non-health articles with interest.

It seems PDJT may be using the current coronavirus scare as a distraction to keep people safe and indoors. He might have learned about this in 2017 from none other than Dr. Fauci himself, who said “there is no doubt DJT will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency”.

We just learned that the good doctor loves Hilliarity.

There may be a shutdown of the internet in the very near future. Interesting that today the government is launching “a critical new national asset into orbit for secure communications.”

Another interesting thing is that something may be up during April 1st through 10th.

Trump yesterday mentioned that there may be large Easter gatherings this year. Only way that would be possible is that the first article has to be legit.

And some celebrities with questionable links are going absolute nuts.

Disclaimer: All of the above can be considered pure bull but it makes a nice story (at least for me).

Forgot to mention that he would be keeping another of his campaign promises.

This on top of everything else could be a concern.

Im still not seeing how that's taking advantage of the situation... that's filling a gap in the supply chain...

My friend had a brilliant idea for more TP!

How about this one (Aliens are leaving because of the Coronavirus).

It would be ludicrous to think that there may have been a larger number of deaths than what the Chinese reported. Some article mentioned that since 21 million cell phone accounts were recently closed in China, the actual number of deaths may be higher. Well, I got news for them. Most of the older generation in China do not use cell phones so I would say 21 million people just no longer thought a phone was necessary. \sarc

Since most of us are data junkies - thought this breakdown was interesting - For the State of Colorado - Id like to see this for the whole US but its hard to find (post it if you find it)- but Its interesting how even as the # of positive cases decline for older people, the hospitalization rate and death rates are much higher, this also looks like it the 30-50 year olds who are spreading it..

& CO has a lot of very fit 50 year olds, I dont think this data is going to be the same from my home state of GA, where smoking and obesity are pretty rampant...

Maine isn't really testing folks unless you're in an at-risk group. My best friend has "suspicious symptoms" and was told to self-isolate as they won't test her since she's an otherwise healthy 37yo.
