SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo

There was a line up at Costco, people were getting into fist fights, like it's the brink of World War Three.

Costco is back up to $302, down less than 10% off its all time high, not even in correction

I thought Canadians were polite. Guess it's not as bad as the man that shanked someone with a broken wine bottle for a case of geyser spring in Georgia

Just people leaving quarantine because there is no one there to stop them. Oh and they left to go rob stores.

lol I hadn't been to a store in weeks. I stocked up a while ago but I decided to round out my stash at whole foods and it's looking p bare. People are apparently buying all the produce? They left all the nuts, trail mix, power bars, protein powders and sardines/tuna.

Zinc is hard to find but I got some along with echinacea, iodine, vitamin c and most of those are compounded with other stuff like golden seal. Maybe this virus is fake and gay but I'm stoked up for maybe three weeks or more and the supplements should help my gains since I started lifting again.

Oh and coffee and tobacco are still available. I'm not sure where normies priority lie outside of TP and cases of water.

Some of that is true, sure. However, the economic impact isn't simply from "the markets", as in the psychological effect media will have on the stock exchange. If you got a sizeable amount of the workforce who have contracted even a mild, and thus most common, case of the coronavirus, i.e. flu-like symptoms, that's going to cause labor shortages for at least a week (apparantly takes 2 weeks to be non-contagious, though). And those workers may have infected their co-workers who will get sick a week later. That's even if we discount the option of, or need for, quarentines.

Arguing against doing anything at all because some media are going into panic mode either because they're genuinely panicking, or they know panic sells, is also not very reasonable. It ain't Spanish Flu, or even SARS, it's a flu... but a highly contagious flu that you can't go down to the pharmacy and get some quickfix for. Therefore it has to just sorta run its course. But for health-economic reasons, economic in the sense that there are only so many doctors and so many hospital beds, that course has to be stretched out over time.

Fair enough, but as Smitty pointed out, why is the UK not shutting down the way America is? Its not like the UK is some Isolationist Hermit Kingdom. They are just as exposed as America is to COVD. Clearly, their experts don't agree with America's. The media here is adding fuel to this fire so it burns like a Kuwaiti oil well. They are stirring up some shit. Ironically, this may just be the push that is needed for our wall to be built.

A wall would do wonders to stop Coronavirus. Especially if it was made very tall and thick, with a minefield on either side. A moat+a fleet of drones which pick up heat signatures and Ultraviolet light could identify Corona well, as the Rio Grande creates tropical conditions ideal for its incubation.

As Smitty pointed out, the UK is trying to avoid jumping the shark too early. We are up to 4 weeks behind some parts of Europe in terms of the spread of the virus. We also have a different demographic to Italy in terms of the average age of the population. We also have far fewer old people living with their extended families like they do in other countries and we don't do all that kissing each other on the cheek that the Latin nations do.
I've been in small bars in France where every new person who walks through the door will go around every table kissing everyone, whether they know them or not. I found it rather intrusive as it kept breaking up any conversations you were having and eventually got quite irritated by it. It is, however, a cultural difference that may have the effect of putting the UK a few weeks behind the curve in this virus.
It's not that the UK isn't going to impose the same restrictions as the rest of Europe, we are just going to do it later.

Monty, I'm disappointed in you. Initially, you shared in my mockery of Corona fears. Now you are towing the party line with this scare tactic propaganda.

It is sad to see.

You are at least 30 years to young to worry about COVD. So don't. I probably have worse health than you, and I'm not worried. You should see people here. They are panicking at the stores as if toilet paper industry is going out of business. Its not like their power will go out, yet they buy water, because that is how they panicked during the hurricanes. They buy stupid bullshit. They have closed down campuses. It is absolutely pathetic. America put a man on the moon and stormed Sicily, Normandy, and Okinawa. And these losers are their descendents. Un-fucking-believable.



Every year there is at least one or two societal panics, and every year they amount to a hill of beans. You should know better because you have been around a bit longer. Its just silliness man, and there is a time for it, but the time is not now. Now is the time for serious mockery of those folks. Don't drink the Koolaid Mate. We need you here and now on the MHF.

Locking her up so she doesn't go buy more toilet paper.

I can't figure out....

...is this a Democrat/media plan to blame Trump for his response to the virus, thus leading to a democratic win in November?

...or is it a Trump plan to cancel elections entirely, giving him another term by default?

It's just boomers being retards. They are like toddlers swilling red bull.
