loving lmao thinking about the outrage this idea would trigger from self-hating low-information conservatives in America.

Note I said the idea. Theyd screech about SOCIALISM if it went to a vote but if they woke up one morning and found a letter under their door saying dont go to work, stay home and well give u free money so you dont infect your idiot coworkers theyd be all hell yeah president trump.

but it doesn't make sense. the fed cutting rates is not going to help where there is both a supply and demand shock. it's just bullshit on bullshit on bullshit

and it's going up because some pharma group says they are making progress or some poo poo. still gonna be at least a year+ for a vaccine!

the only way this remotely makes sense is that smarter people are still grifting idiots somehow

The "market" is all about moronic simplistic equivocations, there's nothing rational about it. It doesn't have to depend on real hard facts, it's all about "sentiment". We could live in a nuclear wastelands and number could still go up because some speculator read on the internet that some people have adapted by mutating into ghouls, which must mean it's not so bad after all.

Never thought I'd be so glad to have what's left of my soapmaking supplies around. I'm going to make up some batches of bars to have handy. I'm lifetime stocked for soap but that's not true for most people I know.

Soap takes like a year to get to a usable state. Stop using unaged soap you barbarian.

I know a guy in California, older dude. He's been sick for weeks and hasn't been getting better. Doctors won't test him for Coronavirus but tested him for 25 other things and they all turned up negative. I'm pretty worried. :\

EDIT: Talked to him today. He's finally getting better.

6 weeks tops to cure

Optimal state is a year to get any extra moisture out... but usable isn't that long. I've got a dozen bars in the closet now as is. Just preparing for later for whoever needs it

I live in downtown Toronto surrounded every day by mainland Chinese and if it wasn't for news headlines and goon meltdowns I wouldn't have even known that there was an outbreak of anything unusual

ie in places that are demographically the most at risk for this thing nobody on the ground really gives a gently caress

I have family in whitebread rural Ontario buying up those construction masks though

I mean now yeah but a few weeks ago when the hysteria was fresh it was mask city downtown.

Fortunately most people seem to have calmed the gently caress down.

Does American Samoa have any cases? That might be a safe bet since they managed to be the only real place with modest populace that rode out the Spanish Flu with no outbreak.

As a counterpoint to Covid19 killing off the Boomers, American Samoa is currently attempting to infect all its children with measles

I actually read the abstract and the researchers do not say what the twitter account "Coronavirus Central" claims it does

They speculate that maybe it could because SARS and MERS could and some COVID-19 patients have had symptoms like headaches and nausea, and that more research is needed.

And since COVID-19 is significantly less lethal than either of those comparisons it stands to reason that it's unlikely that intrusions into the nervous system are things that happen to people without preexisting conditions
