Sup guys. Havent bean around for a while. How are you holding up? This situation is about to get out of hand...so i expect for the worse. Gl to you all and stay safe.

Hello Insanity,good to see you.
If you are talking about the corona virus situation i would not worry too much, especially if you are not an elderly person or a person with a inefficient immune system.
For me, all this panic, is more than a show than anything else,politically motivated.
If you or someone you know "gets it " tho its not laugh at of course, but i am 100% sure that , if not for the media and its nonstop corona broadcasts,NOBODY on the world qould have noticed anything.Everybody would just have said"its the flu this year".


Here in germany the great shutdown begins now, schools and other locations will get closed and i heard you are not allowed to gather up more than 50 people anymore in berlin and some other cities,which is also a violation of basic human rights btw but yea...


In my city the townhall is closing out of fear for coronavirus but my department still has to come to work because we "are working outside".thx alot.
Not that i rly care about the virus ,its just the double standards that bug me.


In anyway,i hope you are fine and stay fine.Check in sometimes.Cu

For us..it's 3 weeks without work for the moment.

I don't agree with you Kane. Well, I need to do more my research..but look at how it is exploding.

In France..it could go from 300 cases to 3000 in a matter of few days. Imagine if it exploded more and the resultant deaths. Not only the deaths but the real problem here
is the medical system which is being overwhelmed when you look at it..around 20 % of people being hospitalized.

I am not worryed about the virus, ill make it but at the rate it is spreading 2 weeks from now we will have many more cases. And the economy...it looks pretty grim tbh.

I agree with insanity on how the outlook of this economically is grim. There's whole entire aisleways empty in the grocery stores where I live and it hasn't even gotten bad yet, there's no meat, bread or canned food and if you find them it's left to bare minimum. At the rate it's going starvation is going to become a rising problem for people below the poverty line in America because everyone with the money to hoard is doing it in fear of the coronavirus if not scared of the disease itself they're scared of everyone else buying the food. Everyone claims to have good morals and a good heart but as soon as push comes to shove everyone's true human nature comes out and it honestly sickens me to see how little everyone cares about others.

It's not really the economy..it's more the people running to stock their houses to stay in quarantine.

Stuff has been getting out of hand as well in Canada.

Wishing you guys the best and hope we can recover

Canada can't be falling apart with it, I was relying on you guys to save the US xd

I want to stress again that if anyone gets covid-19 its not a laughing matter.
I still think the media and politicians use it/will use it to make excuses for new laws ,the failing economies worldwide and other things.


Anyway,
@william

I totally forgot we have a professional doctor ,whos speciality is/are viruses and bacteria if i am not mistaken.
Please let us know if you happen to get some information which you think is important for us.
And i really want to talk with you once the first wave is over and the first scientifically acurate data is available .


Take care everyone.

Hey. Yes, indeed, I do work on viruses. But, even I won't claim to know everything about this. I'm of the school of
let the specialists in each domain talk about it. I'm sure in each domain (including coronaviruses) you can find
a quite extensive lists of specialists which will know various aspects of how this virus functions on a molecular
and epidemiological level. What bothers me the most is all the fake information everyone starts spreading, and
which ends up being debunked by experts. It just takes time though. Like, for example, there was one guy in France
claming that this virus originated from a laboratory strain. This was shown today to be far from likey. In such cases,
like you, I will wait until the scientifically accurate (not rushed) data comes out on this virus. It has to be stated
thought that quite a lot is known on this virus on a molecular level. We do know that bats an important reservoir
host which can carry this virus without symptopms. I do believe that the best way at the moment is for everyone
to stay at home. First, it will impede the spread of this disease, and two, it will help the hospitals sustain people
which are currently infected. No, this virus spreading is not a small joke, and I hope in a month we'll be able to say
that with unity, we were able to stop this virus's spreading. So, yes, fl0wers, please stay at home.

Take care

William

P.S Why don't we play more toribash? I see no one online..
