China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

Me, too. Just found out last year. Got Ventolin and Flovent inhalers for it. I stopped taking the Flovent because I didn't want to suppress my immune system with a goddamn steroid inhaler. I asked my doc if I should keep taking it, and she was like "Just keep taking it, it's not a problem", and I was like... fuuuuuuuuck that. Besides, Fluticasone is a good treatment if you already have COVID-19. I'm saving mine for if I really need it.


Not to mention quite a few people who survived The coronavirus got permanent lung damage, so Fuuuuuuck that shit, i'm not doing much traveling anytime soon.
 
To be fair it is very, very difficult to tell when you are just "joking".
Given what I saw of him on SB and in the PM before it was hacked, I doubt he was, and is hiding actual racism under the cover 'It was just a joke!'
 
COVID-19 can cause severe and irreversible lung fibrosis that sometimes progresses to hemmorhagic necrosis of the lungs. One 66-year-old patient needed a double lung transplant after their lungs ended up looking like my mom's overcooked chicken liver.

I made a meme, but people downvoted it into oblivion because they didn't believe it.

The image on the right literally comes from a paper where they biopsied both of the double lung transplant recipient's lungs.

It's not an exaggeration. That's actually what their lungs looked like. This is the PDF that it's from:

And here's the article on the transplant they received:

China's Zhejiang completes lung transplant for COVID-19 patient - Xinhua | English.news.cn

I am sick and tired of the severity of this situation being downplayed. This shit is no joke.

They had to rip the lungs out of a 66-year-old man's chest and give him lungs from a freshly deceased person because his own lungs were dead.

This image describe those people pretty well.

No one NEEDS that surgery.

It is a purely elective procedure, like many other elective procedures that have been halted/delayed.

You are now guilty of transphobia and hate speech, please quietly proceed to the nearest Gulag

I think too many people are indoctrinating to thinking it’s life threatening

Probably because of things like prisoners threatening suicide if the state doesn’t do it

Carl, do you have anything useful to add?

Or is regurgitating Leftist talking points for 'le irony' or 'how about I stir the pot this way today' your main goal in life? Because that seems to be all you do. As if we weren't already very aware of these facts.

Okay, just pointing out, I think even in a crisis, they have some really weird sense of priorities
 
Okay, this is starting to get very personal, so let's get this thread back on topic with some statistics.

So as of right now, according to John Hopkins University & Medicine, the total confirmed cases number 272,351, total deaths are 11,310, and total recovered are 87,965. This means that the percentage of those who have died versus recovered, is 7.7%; which is great news, considering how just a week ago it was 11.1%.
 
It is not yet an official order to shelter in place, but we're getting close. The Governor is strongly encouraging it. My wife and I are both minimizing time out of the house (we did some yard work today and that's it). She's 68 and has an autoimmnue issue, I'll be 69 in two weeks so we're trying to take care. Fortunately my employer is being very supportive of staff that need to do this.

That said, I'm going to be batshit crazy if this goes on too long. I'm editing a novel in preparation for self-publication and binge watching old war movies and science fiction. It's going to get old fast.
