OT: The Official Coronavirus thread - Be well, be safe

[HarthorneWingo]

If you see something, make sure to tell Wingo.

This is what I know so far:

-masks don't work

-hand sanitizer actually makes your skin more porous over time, so that not a solution

-wash your hands all the time

-stay away from sick people

-if you're sick, stay home

-stay out of large public gathering

-don't touch your face with your hand

-stop shaking hands with people

-shammgod has to stop hanging out in public restrooms.

I believe that the believers in faith healing might get hit hard. What the line in Vegas?

Oh, and don’t forget to cough into your elbow. I went to the liquor store tonight and Babu kept coughing while he cashed me out and I had to hold my breath the entire transaction.

Stack up on many cases of water. Try to get at least 10 cases of water. If you have a big family, get double. Or better yet, stack up on as much as you can.

Understand that the flu may be much worse.

This only kills old and already sick people, stop freaking panicking.

On the same note, it was nice knowing you Wingo.

I think we should rename it the Wingo Wuhan virus in homage to that legendary bat eater.

Understand that the flu may be much worse.

Flu strains kill more people annually because many more people get them. Those that get this virus are 20-30x more likely to die than from the flu. While it mostly impacts people with already compromised systems some of the cases have been unpredictable in their impacts and there are some indications that the body reacts worse to re-infection i.e. doesn't build up antibodies. This virus is also communicable like the flu so without quarantining efforts it could spread to impact millions globally.

None of this is to say "panic" but it is critical to take this threat seriously. Understanding the risks, current locations of outbreaks, and taking a few precautionary steps (making sure your stocks of anti-cold and anti-inflammatory medications are current, knowing procedures for if you think you've contracted the virus) could save many lives.

Right so far this 20x more likely to cause death.

I never drink Corona so...I'm safe.

I'm shook. 50 residents and employees out of 280 in a nursing home in Kirkland, WA are showing symptoms. I have family nearby in Seattle, this has probably been spreading in the Seattle metro area for weeks. I hope people dont dismiss this and say this is overblown or whatever. please take precautions.

edit: and i just found out they are not cancelling the Seattle Sounders soccer game where 60000 people are expected to gather today.
