Spanish flu also came out of China, only, it wasn't an engineered bio-weapon like COVID-19. It's too bad our nutless "leaders" in the west won't hold them accountable for loosing it upon the world.

I see the serious side . My mom is 85. I know its serious for old folks lots of stuff is. But this illness is uncontrollable and uncontainable and its going to run its course no matter what is done. Hell nobody wants to get sick , nobody wants to die, and they say this one isn’t going away, it will be in the continual influenza spectrum from now on. Its a worse form of influenza than the usual shit. It can be serious or not life threatening to a lot of people who get it. Sorry if i took it too lightly theres a lot of conflicting info about it. It is a pandemic and a plague but i dont see the need for hysteria.

It would seem that various species of flu viruses come and go at their agenda and vary in their fatality and impact. I read something about the common cold/ flu virus has hundreds of variations, and that you only catch any given type once, as your body quickly assimilates it, and it exists in you for the rest of your life. And there are enough mutations to give you a wide spectrum of new chances for infection as you body cant develop an “ immunity” untill its infected, and that viruses do not want to kill you, just invade you, and its your bodies response to the new microinvader that gives you grief. Your body tries to combat it in the usual ways, but the virus and the body assimilate and call a truce. Viruses appear to change or mutate, a strategy that gives them a new lease on life so you catch them again and again. Not that i know all that as truth, just what i remember from somewhere. A lot depends on the individual and their own immune strength. And...What happened to the widespread flu shot program that was so conspicuous in preceeding years? What ever became of that program. Was it an experiment? Were our immunities strengthened? Weakened? Modified? Compromised?

These people hoarding, then hoarding and flipping piss me off. I love the one Dude with 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer was actually bitching that Amazon shut him down for gouging. He got public press then had to donate it all, cause I'm sure the death threats were coming in by the 1000s. Imagine the people riding by his house, screaming shit, throwing shit thru the windows, etc.
and the threat of the virus is serious, but people don't need to lose their heads, stay calm, no need to take more supplies than you need. Some fail to realize, if you do need 2 years worth of TP, it won't do you any good anyways. Cause the people without, will be coming door to door with Guns when they are desperate.

and speaking of 1918, "we've" learned a lot about sickness since then, BUT, generally people aren't any smarter about it and haven't learned from the few. How many do you see cough and don't cover their mouth? Geez, look at all the guy who love to pass a drink around. Or even if it's what you do, a Doobie. Just to name a few thinks. I notice in restrooms people won't wash their hands, esp after the report that bathroom drier blows poop particles around.

I hate those poop particle blowers. Totally unsanitary. Paper towels for me, I use my paper towel to open the door so I don't have to touch the handle with my freshly clean hands.

I live in a huge metropolitan area so that makes odds high i will get it. Details on what im in for are kind of sparse. One guy who from the cruise ship that got quarantined said he wasnt all that sick. Basically flu symptoms. Another person related they had pretty strong flu with a fever of 102 for several days and lingering symptoms for two weeks. Whats it like? Ive had a strong flu that ended up in broncitis for a month when i was 16. That was pretty miserable but i survived fine. Whats the game plan when you get it?There is no vaccine once you get it you hit the sack and stay hydrated and aspirined up and its chicken soup time? I never had to go to the doctor or hospital for the flu. It never got that bad for me. Am i naive?

Yep about 5 years back I was in bed for a week. Barely out of bed for another. Had shit for weeks to follow.... anywho the link to the original article for the Hand Santizer guy. I like how it mentions he wanted to make his Fam richer than Trump. The POS was a Vet. Had some gay unthreatening job in the Chair Force. No never a threat of lose of life. Just in there for getting free College and free Health bennies for life. Then makes over 100k a year Deanoing shoes. Then wanted to make 500 million on Hand shit at $70 a bottle. Yep, someone might kill your fucking family over that shit, you skinny, weak, fucking retard. fox17.com/news/local/tennessee-man-says-he-has-17700-bottles-of-hand-sanitizer-but-cant-sell-them

He had a family pic up. I see they removed that. Someone will beat his skank whore wife for him. His whole family is garbage. Dude is no Physical threat. Hence the Secretary position in the Chair Force. No Combat Marine in the makings there. Just a pussy letting sick people die so he can profit. I'm glad he got the fame he so asked for.

Correct, we are not going to stop the virus, what we are trying to do is control it the best we can so it doesn't overwhelm the medical system. Once that happens, the fatality numbers climb exponentially. Isolation and cleanliness are what's going to do that. Phone the high risk people you know to make sure they are ok or need anything. Deliver it and leave it outside for them to pick up.
I just finished my 4 days at work and things are changing, when I go back on Saturday it's going to be a totally different animal. They are starting to closely monitor things like masks to see how long we will have supplies. That's scary in a City with 160,000 people!

The vast majority of sheeple have zero clue that virtually every product they buy, all of their fuel, food, energy, etc. are all speculated upon daily by the big banks, brokerages, and "investors". Both directly and via the derivatives markets. Does anyone pick up their torches and pitchforks and start issuing death threats to Warren Buffet, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfien, Jon Corzine and all their cronies, institutions? Nope. 'Cause they don't have a fuckin' clue. But along comes this schmuck who decides he wants in on some of that action, on a scale that he can manage. Not a bad idea on the face of it, IMO. However, he follows his good idea with massive stupidity. When shit people want gets scarce, ya' don't go around braggin' to the world that you have it all in your garage and post pics of it on Facefuck. That's the only thing I hate him for. Just being an idiot. He could have made a tidy little profit, and even been a hero, had he just played it cool.
