as the timeframe of contagion gets pushed further back in time, and now they even say it was spreading around Washington in Mid-January, I am becoming increasingly convinced that I had it in early january, the details of which I noted down here in excruciating detail for posterity several weeks ago

Where are you, in Seattle?

If and when they have the antibody test you can go check it.

Same situation in Japan - they still have these absolutely ridiculous standards that basically no one can meet and they're turning away people in droves. Everyone knows at least 2-3 cases that got turned away. Thus the number is still very low at ~1000 cases incl. hellship. The condition are still in effect today (March 4th)

The requirements to get tested are:

-Have had fever over 37.5C (~100F) for four days (2 days if you're old)
-Signs of pneumonia (lol)
-Dry cough & myalgia
-Have been in contact with China* or a known cluster

*They have turned people away who met non-Chinese people who have been working in Wuhan. So LOL to that also.

Japan is aggressive dodging testing people because they have an Olympic to host. They have spent 24 billions on it up front and no politician can afford to cancel it which surely will send to Japanese economy to long term resession.

The US attitude of actively cover own eyes and avoid testing makes no sense. The only explanation is Trump has fired anyone with a medical degree in CDC and the administration is really this ignorant.

If boomers worry about Corona just give them advice like how they advise millenials on the job market.

Go to your doctor every day and tell him you won't leave until he gives you a vaccine.
You'll get more socialist as you grow older and understand how the world works. Privatized medicine won't protect you from the plague.
You should wear protective clothing to work every day. Dress for the infection you want, not the infection you have.

I feel like the advice about working for exposure isn't really applicable though.

This has been destroying my brain so I spent far too long trying to find an answer.

At least in Australia where I live, there seems to be some kind of boomer rumour that all the toilet paper is made in China (it's not, we make something like 70% of our own) I'm not sure if it's the same dumb garbage everywhere but boomers seem to operate within the same social media groups.

What I do know is I just drove around without success for 90 minutes trying to find some poo poo tickets.

yah i've half been assuming that its some facebook etc bullshit

I accidentally ran across some forum of boomer sounding people this morning and it was some small group of folk talking about how to deal with the mainstream media hoax. it devolved into talk about whats the cheapest local store they can buy fish antibiotics at

ya know...in case they get the corona virus

The toilet paper thing is happening in Japan too, and yeah it all started from that China rumor(which was false, and at least here in Japan like 80-90% of the stuff is made domestically anyway). The usual old people and tin foil hatters bought up a bunch - not enough, but jussst enough to make shelves look a little sparse. That led to scalpers sensing opportunity and buying more, compounding it. This led to a few actually bare shelves, which people immediately shared on social media as an A) lol look at this, or B) hey folks, looks like you should grab some if you can. Now more sensible people were trapped in a "well I do need toilet paper so I guess I should buy some before the goofs buy it all" corner, and so they did. Then the media started running it, meaning every not-online normal person jumped in as well.

Now even though it's not a crisis, everyone has a dim awareness that TP is rare. So any time some 7-11 or grocery store puts any out, it's gone instantly because of that perceived rarity. How long this will last is unknown, but probably directly linked to how long people keep being hysterical on the internet, which will happen 1 minute after the media senses there's more ratings in running "the fatality rate is well below 2%" stories.

TP panic hoard is contagious, it started from Japan and spread to the rest of the world. BTW in China there were a few episodes of panic salt hoarding, but never TP boarding.

It'd have to be at least 60% alcohol, but higher the more effective it is at killing viruses.

So get everclear if you want to go the ethanol route
