International Coronavirus Breaking News, v6

[Strychnine]

Probably already posted, but important information if confirmed:

The CDC recommended to NOT bring them back and they did anyway?!?!

 

[SRN]

Respect to @Arkain2K though, the greatest thread starter and custodian in Sherdog history forever. This thing is starting to get really wild; his ability to stack, organize and dispense mass amounts of information is hugely impressive (no pence).

Pretty spectacular right? He reminds me of someone else who used to flood the WR with breaking news in similar fashion. Now that I think about it, I can't remember if @Arkain2K and that guy were ever seen in the same thread at the same time.


And fuck I hate my memory, I can't remember the dude's name. He was a clone of another user here (same username and avatar as someone else) @irish_thug do you know who I'm talking about? His avatar was a can of beer.

What’s going on in N. Korea? Probably impossible to tell.

NK is a black hole. They only release what they want to release.

Most of the posts were questioning Pence's role. That is not Orange man bad, but Gay Conversion Therapy Man bad. Also China is too blame for the virus.
The point I made is I would have preferred an actual medical Doctor in charge. If Trump wanted someone loyal in charge he could have put Ben Carson in charge and I would not have questioned it. Ben Carson by all accounts is an accomplished surgeon, who with studying data on the virus would have been a way better choice because he is an actual fucking medical doctor. Current Surgeon General would have been another acceptable choice. Hell Dr. Phil would have been better than Pence.
Its kind of sad that when a decision by the President is questioned, everyone wants to shut down the questioner. George Washington did not choke out the King of England , so citizens of this country cant criticize decisions of the President. I am an American, Jack and criticizing an elected officials decision is my God given right, Brother.
I outlined my criticism.
TDS would be something along the lines of me criticizing Trump for wearing a tan suit, but putting someone in charge of all things Corona Virus, who is not qualified for it is a valid criticism. As I said before, Pence can do lots of things, this one is not in his wheel house.

Gotcha, I didn't go back through. But c'mon, man. Pence is the manager. He's not supposed to be a virus guy.
Think of it like when the CEO of Gillette leaves to become the CEO of Nabisco. He doesn't know shit about making crackers (yet), but that's not his role in the organization.

Checked the equipment lockers at my work, still have 5 boxes of n95 masks. Maybe I should grab one lol

Masks are only useful if you're infected yourself or a medical professional in direct contact with infected individuals

But definitely wash your hands like a mother fucker

 

[evergreenrider]

Theoretically, if one were to wear an n95 mask, and say swimming goggles, that should protect against infection right?

And wash your hands and everything you touch, but yeah, you'd be way more protected than usual. Still doesn't mean you can run through a crowd of infected people with no issues.

So it might be china knew this was coming for a while.

Get a P100 or N100 mask, both are better than the N95.

 

[Overtures]

Can you even get masks anymore?

From being the leading cause of endangered species survival to eating anything and everything that moves, China DGAF.

 

[Otto!]

This is bad:

With the population of Lagos at around 20 Million this could be really bad.

Depends where you are. Most hardware store still had the N95 around here this week (Florida panhandle). I think that people around here are more interested in politics than the coronavirus.

 

[PEB]

EDIT beat me too it. ^
I bought a box of 10 for 750 dollars I kid 10 dollars at a hardware store none at drugstore like Walgreens or CVS. I wonder if people know local hardware stores have some not many some. They will not allow bulk purchases ether at the one I went to ether.

Also would be good for ebaying


Edit: I also have this thing? I'll bet it would work. Never used it lol.

Dude, yer breakin' our hearts...

What happened to your claim on page 2 of version 2 that the masks will block the corona virus itself??

Can we focus on reality for a bit? This isn't a trade war you aren't gonna punch the virus to death it takes professional planning and strategy.

I honestly can't believe your advice is "just believe in the president he will protect us"

Goodluck stopping a virus with a R.0. of 4+. China is using full dictator level power and can't stop it. In the end this will have very little to do with Trump.

That is not accurate.

A proper mask will also protect the wearer. Not 100% and not good enough that you don't need to take other precautions, but you it certainly will help with regards to any casual contact transmission you might be exposed to.

Theoretically, if one were to wear an n95 mask, and say swimming goggles, that should protect against infection right?

You might need a good set of headphones too. Ears are not as direct an access point as Mouth, Nose, Eyes, but they can be an entry point.

A good pair of Bose Headphones should do.

I've already got my mask on my Av to keep it catching anything from you f*ckers.

China behaves to unfavorable info quite like the Soviets did with their craziness like Lysenkoism. This is a government that is pretending as if Chinese history began in 1997, after all.......
