Welcome to Thunderdome

That's one I support. Let's get rid of these fucktards.

2,400 new confirmed cases yesterday. 2 members of Congress have it. Government says up to 18 months of pandemic. But China had "no new local cases" so... yay.

There's a whole chain here by a 22 year old detailing that they are normally healthy and got Coronavirus. Let the young "invincible" morons in your life know that this thing doesn't give a fuck about age.

If the young fall, then their bloodlines are weak, and they will be forgotten by history.

(All joking aside, I give it a 3% chance that it is misinformation designed to keep the young inside, to stop spreading it. Suspicious mind)

My kid is currently on webcam doing a class, and one of our cats puked up a hairball behind him, on the floor, on camera. I hope someone was recording it.

That's just a random person on the Twitters though. That isn't a blue check mark person. I just happened to see it because another non-blue check person retweeted it.

The MSM is spending a lot of time bashing Trump and Rs for still calling this the Chinese virus or Wuhan virus, despite the MSM having done that non-stop in the beginning. Why? Because they're playing politics and the political correctness game. Although, they should stop calling it that, as I've heard some Chinese people have faced discrimination because of this, which makes sense when you consider morons actually stopped drinking Corona beer because they thought it was tied into the virus...

However, the real danger, which the MSM isn't addressing is how they really hyped this up as a disease that only hurts the elderly. That's why so many moronic teens and 20-something folks are running around thinking this doesn't affect them.

NO ONE CARES. WE HAVE REAL PROBLEMS, MSM.

Guy at the gun store this morning told me a lot of Asians were trying to buy guns (Note: Store was completely sold out of shotguns, and almost all ammo across the board) because they were being harassed. Also told me a lot of other stories, it takes a long time to buy a gun.

But, I have a gun now. With ammo.

I don't really believe the number of asians being targeting for hate has gone up by any statistically significant amount. I do believe a lot of people will lie and exaggerate about it, though, for attention.

Yeah I'm sure all the Chinese of Cary are being harassed...by the Hindus of Cary. Gimme a break.

This is ridiculous. Next thing you'll probably claim black people make up stories about nooses and whatnot...

Sarcasm aside, even a single incident will get blown out of proportion for ratings/eyeballs.

Here's a random webpage predicting when hospitals will run out of beds, by state. Washington is predicted to have 2 more days.

When I see the thousands of media pictures of patients in hallways and dying in parking lots, everywhere, then I will admit to having been wrong about the validity and severity of this pandemic. That's my metric.

More people have died in Italy than in China, from the virus.

You can just look at Italy.

I could also look at Haiti. Wouldn't compare either to the US.

We can look to Italy whenever we talk about socialized healthcare.

On the other hand, their socialized medicine should get cheaper with all the old people that are dying

We just happened to have a project at walmart that put us in the sporting good section. Yes, shotguns and ammo are popular right now, but all the walmart customers are buying them for rabbit hunting.

Not where I live.

woof woof

Been seeing a lot of panic-mongering, here and there. "This won't end for a decade, until we get a vaccine. Covid will keep coming back, over and over. Shelter in place is a new normal. This is going to kill you, and most people you love, except the 1% who can afford their quarantine islands. People breaking quarantine should be killed on sight, as they are threatening the life of my meemaw, directly."

Which is why, aside from here, I'm keeping my mouth shut about any of this. I don't want to be a target of a mob when they're looking for people to blame.

I knew I forgot something.

People should distance as much as possible, the end.
