yeah the extreme reaction of the CCP to this, basically completely halting the economy of a huge party of the country, makes me think they think this is pretty serious.

chinese news today was talking about the economic impacts of the quarantine being better in the long term than economic impacts of the virus spreading freely

what does "travel ban" mean like can you leave your city but they will scan your body temp or are you stuck in whatever city you reside in until they say it's OK to move again? That one lady just flew to paris to eat food while sick so IDK how total the restrictions are

the paris lady was before the quarantine i think? all the trains, flights, and buses are shut down and they have the military on the highways out of the city screening people trying to drive away i think

If the issue is related to your lungs and difficulty breathing, collapsing from that and becoming unconscious is a sign that you’re imminently dying. It would be very rare for that to happen because if you’re having difficulty breathing and dying from it, you wouldn’t be walking around and would instead be in distress and trying to do whatever it takes to get to a hospital / seek medical attention.

don’t forget china has a dozen security cameras on every street corner so any video of a person collapsing for any reason anywhere in the country will probably be latched onto, the date doesn’t even need to be correct probably.

a guy collapsed near my apartment in shenzhen yesterday and everyone freaked out, turned out he was just falling down drunk

Hi yes people seem to brush this by. This is like mass pandemic/mass grave poo poo in particular with the whole "You need to burn their body immediately" deal.

i don’t think burial is a big thing in most of the currently affected areas anyway. especially in these big cities cremation is the norm already

So we can just prescribe people HIV drugs and let them self-quarantine at home...that's good!

But people in America have lovely or no health insurance and the HIV drugs will cause hundreds of dollars...that's bad

If this is an actual solution, the government needs to provide these drugs for free, or else people who can't afford them are going to go without and keep spreading it

the chinese government is paying for everyone’s coronavirus treatment

When people talk about "not knowing how to cook" I always think "that cannot possibly be literally true"

99% of cooking is literally just warming things up. If you're cooking vegetarian, doubly so.

How the gently caress could anyone claim they don't know how to cook and also could not just figure it out???

actually most of cooking is buying ingredients, prepping them, and washing stuff. the heating up part is not the majority
