Honestly it makes you wonder what is going in Italy. As far as I am aware they still haven't been able to identify who the outbreak started with.

Wearing only N95-style masks which are pointless
N95 masks are giving people a false sense of protection should be more than a little alarming.
Yet at this very moment almost no one in the health care establishment seems to be aware that coronavirus can infect people through their eyes.
 

Someone is going to make a killing selling swimming goggles
 
This is the most unexpected news from an Islamic country


very interesting, I was expecting a horror show after Friday prayers.
They pray 5 times per day at Masjid anyway but Fridays are always packed

Buying ammo is what makes you a pussy

real men defend themselves with their bare hands, wearing gloves and masks, and goggles. (don't be fools viruses are scary)

Well, I guess that just makes me a pussy.

Pastas, rice, noodles, bought in bulk, last forever, is a good thing, then just grab a box of canned tomatoes/beans/corn/mushrooms, and volia, you can last months as long as you have water and access to boiling temps.

Takes so little effort, everyone should really always have a small e-stash at home, makes life so much easier in bad situations. Might be bad weather, storms, droughts, or, I guess viruses. Doesn't cost much, nobody will suffer from you having it. Add a small multifuel burner and you can sustain yourself for a very long time.

Civil defence 101?

All of our grandparents had some base storage at home, not a bad idea.

Add solar storms to that too. (Carrington event)

Always a good Idea to have at minimum two weeks of supplies.

(Best source for vitamin C comes from fresh fruit and veg)

Preventative measures.

Vitamin D3: 1000 - 2000 IU
Vitamin C: 300 mg RDA [unwell increase 3000 mg - divided doses]
Zinc: 15-20 mg
Magnesium: 300-400 mg

+
Selenium: RDA [100 micrograms]

+
Echinacea tea in moderation can stimulate the immune system (research)

If you are in Brazil and have a good news source confirming the second test results send to BNO



they seem stuck on the first report and not adding Brazil to the tracking page yet


Even the WHO already confirmed, in Pt-Br

we'll have Lollapalooza next moth, better buy a NBC suit. LOL


I wish something like that existed here in Brazil

South Korea's next batch of numbers should be a concerning sign to how things will go from here

But if they skip prayers, God will EXTRA smite them!

It is Korean Air unless a country blocks them this should be expected
I think you'll be fine the good news is the lines for check in will be shorter now

Frankly them still flying is astoundingly bad. Time to bring a ton of hand sanitizer and update my will.

Still shocked they had an official government call to cancel prayers considering the Masjids are built with virus proofing materials
We shall see Friday how it turns out

South Korea great at numbers, great at testing, really stupid at still travelling to any airport that does not have a ban on them

...hate me...

That's actually a cool idea for a makeshift protection if there's no access to a full face mask or if they are in short supply. N95 respirator + swimming goggles.

Interesting times ahead when people get used to the idea of walking around like that......


Actually, can't that be one of the endgame scenarios? Everyone just walks around in full face protection. And once in a while you notice someone not wearing it and go like OH NO A NAKED FACE DON'T LOOK THAT WAY SON THAT PERSON IS ALREADY LOST.
 
Upside is that most of the new cases are getting reported hopefully, downside is cases are getting reported.

I have to imagine there is a decent number of people walking around who don't know they have it, or think it's a normal cold.

GM: 200 traveling through Atlanta airport showed possible coronavirus symptoms

ATLANTA - Two hundred travelers coming through Atlanta's airport showed potential symptoms connected to the new virus that is spreading around the globe and were designated for home quarantine.

Real rate is closer to 2% and it specifically dunks on old people. Even if millions die, it won't be millions that matter in terms of consumption and workforce. Sorry old people.

If it never goes away then we could be living in a Children of the Corn scenario. Better start building those corn fields.

Have no fear over Coronavirus.
Attempts to distract and cause fear.
The closing of major travel routes allow for law enforcement to move swiftly.
what is REALLY happening right now?
