You're living in my world now. I don't think there's a time in my life where I ever felt more comfortable with my surroundings than right here and right now.
SECOND: A lot of self-important drama in your life, 6ix. It must go with being a Trump lover

Quote:Looks like Spain is going to be the next Italy.
According to John Hopkins data, Wednesday was the deadliest day yet for the US with 233 fatalities reported, taking the US to 65,273 cases and 938 deaths. In New York and California, the number of confirmed cases is doubling every few days...
The death toll in coronavirus-ravaged Spain continued to climb on Thursday, with more than 600 additional fatalities reported so far. In total, more than 4,000 people have been killed by the novel coronavirus in Spain so far. Only Italy has recorded more deaths during the outbreak, and only Spain and Italy have recorded more deaths than mainland China ...
Quote:11 pounds of rice or wheat for a whole month???
More importantly, the government will provide 800 million people, roughly two-thirds of the country’s population, with 5 kilograms of rice or wheat each month for the next three months for free.
A pound of rice has about 1600 calories, a pound of wheat about 1500 calories. About a day's worth of calories per pound. You might survive on eleven pounds of rice or wheat over a month, particularly if you have fat stores, but you WILL go hungry if that's all you have. Still, that's a lot of graim for India. Maybe the families have small-plot axxess to onions and greens or coconuts an chiles, or something,

Your going to be a sniveling little bitch like Kiki because you're panicking, then you get it to.

From sledgehammer to scalpel
It’s worth remembering why we’re in this situation. “The facts remain that we wasted a lot of time in terms of ramping up testing,” Saad Omer, director of the Yale Institute for Global Health, says. Testing in an outbreak provides two functions. One is to diagnose those who are sick. The other is surveillance: to see where the virus may be lurking, especially in cases where symptoms are mild or don’t manifest at all. The US has barely had enough testing capacity to test the sickest, let alone the capacity to do surveillance. Many doctors are telling patients with milder symptoms to just stay home and not get a test.
“Social distancing is basically a sledgehammer,” Konyndyk, who has worked on past outbreaks, like Ebola, says. “You’re just stopping everything and hoping that in the process you will also slow transmission.” What we need to do, he says, is turn that sledgehammer of social distancing into a scalpel: widespread testing and contact tracing.
“The classic epidemiological approach to controlling disease is not to shut down society; it’s to target the people you know to have the disease and understand who they’re spreading it to,” Konyndyk says. “We can’t do that right now because we don’t have enough testing to know who has the disease.”
Not only do we need more testing, we also need testing that can be completed within minutes. “I would just be so happy if we had rapid diagnostics,” Saskia Popescu, a hospital epidemiologist in Phoenix, Arizona, says. “If you’ve ever been to an urgent care, when they do a flu test, in many cases it takes, like, 10 minutes. So if we can move to more of a rapid diagnostic where it’s a very, very quick turnaround, then we can make sure that those people go home and isolate themselves.” Currently, it can take days to get a diagnostic test back, and people may not be sure of what to do while they wait.
These rapid tests are in the works:

Who Says It’s Not Safe to Travel to China?
Sadly, one doesn’t have to look far for evidence of these top-down decisions morphing into outright racism within the general population, a trend that has a long history in the narrative of outbreaks such as this one.
Coronavirus shares something in common with other kinds of civil disruption, natural disasters or emergencies that affect localized travel industries: Its destructive power lies not in the actual risk but in the perception of that risk. Numerous experts have said that the majority of people who contract coronavirus will experience it as a respiratory infection they will fully recover from. But the extreme reactions — the canceling of flights, closing of borders and level-four travel warnings — seem more appropriate for something much worse.
With the rhetoric surrounding coronavirus, however, it appears the astonishing growth of the Chinese travel market in the past 15 years did little to rid the industry of the impulse to treat Chinese travelers as “others” in the face of doubt and uncertainty. Canceling flights, cruises and locking down borders when it’s not advised by international agencies will be not only an act of economic self-harm but also a wasted opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Well, Rosie. That article hasn't aged well, has it?
Have we learned anything from mistakes of the very recent past yet?
I'll bet you haven't. I'll bet when the COVID thing blows over you'll be at the front lines of the Legacy Media to open our boarders wide to everybody else and call anybody who doesn't agree with you a Nationalist, as if that is a bad word or something.

The coronavirus exposes the history of racism and “cleanliness”
While the epidemic may be new, xenophobia has been intertwined with public health discourse for a very long time.
Quote:
While panic about a sudden, deadly virus is to be expected, some fears — especially in North America and the West — have been based on something other than health. The panic has exposed a deep-seated xenophobia, and with it, a symptom of its own has surfaced: hostility toward East Asian people.
Maybe if instead of listening to the Twitter Mob and the Legacy Media lefty shills and they did what I said all along and shut down all flights when I said to, including for US citizens who were abroad (which JSF said I was being un-American by suggesting), we wouldn't have it spreading in the US now and terrorizing people like Kiki and Sigs.

As the coronavirus spreads, fear is fueling racism and xenophobia
Quote:
Toronto Mayor John Tory also spoke out this week about the coronavirus panic. "Standing with our Chinese community against stigmatization and discrimination," he said. "We must not allow fear to triumph over our values as a city."
Well... those of you who are still standing right now, be sure to do it at least 6 feet apart from each other, mkay?

‘No Chinese allowed’: Racism and fear are now spreading along with the coronavirus
Quote:
An online petition signed by parents in one school district in Ontario, Canada, asked the school board to request parents whose children or whose families have recently returned from China “to stay at home and keep isolated for a minimum of 17 days for the purpose of self-quarantine.”
Those terrible, terrible, racist Canadians, huh? /sarcasm

Maybe SECOND should tell you what his husband thinks of you? Or howabout JSF? I'll bet HE has a husband, too!
C'mon, take a deep breath. You've been picking fights over this and in general not acting like you usual rational self. Hey, let your better self out of the closet from where you seem to have locked it!

Quote:6ix, here is a career idea for you: communicate/publicize for the GOP. The party has a need for more bright writers creating short political messages, slightly longer newspaper articles, magazine essays, and even full length books. The GOP has the money to pay you very well. You don't have to give away your work for free at fff.net.
