NihilismNow posted:I wonder if there's really "only" 1000 infected in Italy. In the Netherlands now three different people have returned infected from Italy over the past few days. It seems unlikely that they all interacted with the same small group of people with the disease. The real number has to be at least a order of magnitude higher. 4 people have given positive in my country after they returned from Italy. According to the news there was this conference or something, it was work related. During the conference they went to greet this unnamed by the press Italian guy, who had been already infected. Two of them showed symptoms a day after arrival, the other like a couple of days later. Hooray. Ah, yeah. One of them owns a restaurant/food stand in Mexico City. The number of probably infected people jumped from 22 to 400. Edit: I think it was TWO guys that went to Italy, they infected their relatives and friends. From that group only other 2 showed symptoms. Desperado Bones fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Mar 1, 2020 |

12 reported cases in Mexico. Those 5 new ones were found out all today. All of them people who traveled to Spain, Italy and the USA. And it seems whole dance studio crew who were on a tour through Italy this week got thrown in quarantine as soon as they got out of their plane lol It was funny reading the wikipedia saying 9 cases, a second later edited to 11, going to a newspaper's page clicking on the "11 CONFIRMED CASES!" link and seeing that they had quickly updated the headline to 12. Ha. ha. Ha.

It's already killing the ones who had diabetes (and/or were fat and/or smokers). And considering that for a while we were #1 worldwide in obesity it's gonna swept a large portion of that population. I just hope my tiny backwater-ish southern state manages to keep the numbers low.

News from Latin-america and I don't even know if ya'll care. Guayaquil, Ecuador is currently an absolute movie disaster mess. The virus hit hard, the hospitals are out of beds so they are not admitting more sick people and are sending them back home (or allowing them in after their family protests and just letting them die). People are dying in their homes or while waiting to be admitted in a hospital. Just there, in the street. The problem is that no one is coming to pick up the bodies. Not even if it was a natural death. Ambulances are not coming, private funerary services are collapsing. So people are desperate and are either supposedly burning their dead in the middle of the street or pulling them out and keeping them in their doorsteps. Some people have been waiting up to 5 days to have their love ones' bodies removed. There are videos, but the majority are quite  so I don't think is a very good idea to post them here. Some say they are fake, but...man, knowing how this virus works and how we humans just break in situations like this, I can believe it. poo poo's bad.

I'm usually in the Blizzard/wow subforum being a nerd, or trying not to get an anxiety attack. And yes, they are not testing enough in Ecuador. People say the numbers should be crazy large considering how fast all collapsed (having a terrible health system had a part on it too)

News articles about Guayaquil, Ecuador. They majority of the stuff you can find are in Spanish as networks in the USA or UK are barely touching the subject. (In Spanish) https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/mundo/por-piedad-llevense-los-cuerpos (English) for the videos that have been circulating.https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Ecuador-Guayaquil-Faces-Drama-Due-to-Non-Buried-COVID-19-Dead-20200401-0009.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/03/ecuador-coronavirus-bodies/ And yes, the person who brought the virus was a lady that came back from Spain.  This is probably the type of poo poo we are gonna see in places like India once everything collapses. I fear my country is heading that way, specially if it hits poor/indigenous/immigrant communities.

Hey guys, I just wanna say I hate people in my country -not boomers for everyone's surprise- who believe the coronavirus is fake news, a made up trick to control them and that using masks is useless while you are healthy while forgetting that you can catch that poo poo and not show symptoms for a while. Oh yeah, it's also party time and they want to gather in beaches and drink beer because all the malls were closed down and the government is evil for trying to keep them alive. I so loving angry because these assholes are gonna get sick and occupy a bed in a hospital and kill the health system. gently caress.

Seems it wasn’t nearly as nasty I guess I learned that H1N1 is still present in certain parts of my country and lots of folk die from it. By the time COVID-19 was starting to come here, the H1N1 was rolling around, along with measles (currently going strong), dengue(the rain season is over, so it might just go away by itself in the next months) and tuberculosis.

Famethrowa posted:pretty good walk-through of a wet-market with a insightful comment from a dude who lives there Mexican markets are not that different, yet I see a lot of Mexicans being xenophobic idiots parroting the same Fox bullshit. Fish market? Fish and other sea creatures all around! Oh yeah, they sell you live crabs and kill them right there in front of you. It's...kinda gruesome, but they taste good. Regular marker? Be ready for seeing pig heads hanging from a hook while you are being offered pork meat. (I dunno if it's still a common practice, but it's something I saw a lot during my childhood). Chickens are still displayed in all their gory glory to costumers. Where I live people also consume animals that would be considered "exotic": iguanas, turtles, rain-forest mammals -raccoons included-. Heck, there's a northern state that has rat soup and people eat it as a remedy against the common flu. And the old urban legend of taco vendors using dog and cat meat. And there's of course, the people selling meat from stolen cows. (Little side talk, a friend of my sister's actually died from liver failure after consuming fresh cheese that was contaminated with certain bacteria.  My family is very weary of buying cheese from street vendors/market vendors).

Sadly is affecting the population with arthritis. They hoarded medicine for arthritis. The same happened with vitamin c.

No fever, I just feel like poo poo and I'm not hungry, just weak and mom's telling me to stay chill and don't stress myself thinking it's the drat roni. Wearing a face mask just in case...

My sister baked pigs in a blanket last night, I had the last one for breakfast today because I'm a goon.  I'm currently feeling "good" and finally slightly feeling hungry.

It only takes one stupid mosquito to get something like that. I ended up going to ER in a private clinic. You could notice all the doctors and nurses were dead nervous about if the next patient will have covid-19. I ended up in an isolated room until I got my checked, they were actually relieved once they realized my illness. It's also the second time i get this poo poo. Talk about bad luck.  *it's 4 am and i just woke up for taking my meds. Grammar might be poo poo, sorry.

The doctore from that store died. He was infected by a clerk from the drugstore who is now in a hospital. The doctor had taken 63 patients before taking a quarantine. The drugstore closed down and all the other probably sick employees were relocated to random stores...because money, gently caress people. Hooray.

But people are stubborn and still want to go out and sit on a park or making illegal parties and what not. The governor and mayor, lots of politicians, are considering locking up in quarantine each neighborhood individually, specially the barrios that are full to the brim with infected families. Some people are ok, a few are getting angry, a lot other don't give a poo poo.
