I know how to cure the virus, but no one is going to give me a billion dollars.

Then for the sake of humanity, tell us all so that those with the resources can develop the vaccine.

Or....are you intentionally holding on to the cure with the goal of profiting from it?

You ask that question like I am doing something wrong. We've been profiting on people's deaths for years.

You missed the most important part.

Or....did you intentionally cause the problem in the first place, so you could hold on to the cure with the goal of profiting from it?

This could certainly change how wrong this would be.

You know what we're not going to do in this thread about a potential global crisis? This^.

You're right. I had seen a few others already going back and forth over the comments and thought I would partake.

Glad an outside source decided to jump in and be the voice of reason. I do wonder what exactly triggered it though.

Yeah, I'm worried just a bit bois. Seems a little worse than a bad flu :P



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

TBH, I'm not worried about the virus itself, but the shier panic it (or people, to be more precise) causes. Two days ago I went to my local supermarket. Finished my shopping and went home. One hour later I saw a post on FB about the shortages in the market I just came from. I though nothing of it, aka another FB BS post. Another two hour passed and I left home to pick my wife from work. She finishes at 8PM so way past the rush hours. It's only 6 miles away, but it took me over an hour to get there! It looked like half of fucking town, all of a sudden, stormed all local markets! I've never seen traffic like that since I moved here 10 years ago! Anyways, it turned out that the lorry stuck in the traffic and that's why there were temporary shortage of ... MILK! Madness!

Same here

I actually facepalmed today because I told my wife that France confiscates all face masks to give them to doctors and patients and deny them to scalpers. Her reaction to that news? OMG, we need to buy a shitload of face masks now! Even after explaining her twice why they did it, she still wanted to buy as many facemasks as she could get her hands on.

Yawn. ZZzzzzzz. Nothing here lately but a bunch of personal and anti-Trump attacks. Sad. Nothing related to the Covid-19 outbreak. How sad.

Here some news:

There are already 14 deaths in USA with only 233 cases. That's pretty much the highest death rate on this planet.  It either means that you don't detect most cases in USA or it means that your hospitals don't have what they need to help those who have it.

Meanwhile your President believes there is no country better in handling this than USA and there is a President who still believed the standard flu vaccine should be enough a few days ago.

But hey, just pretend as if Trump is just perfect. At least he loves guns to save the population!

I read somewhere that in the US they fucked up the test kit and wasn't working and had to recall them all. ATM have to order in case by case till they make new kits. I reckon once those kits are out the cases will skyrocket for positive tests..

Still no death here in Germany which is surprising with our older population.

It's also in my smaller city since yesterday. Let's see how people will go crazy here, now. Was already crazy before it.



vivster on 07 March 2020

Gonna jinx it and celebrate no deaths in Germany despite almost 700 cases. 0% mortality rate of corona confirmed.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Which top 5 Countires do you all think will be hit the worst before all this blows over?
At this time of edit Iran has just seen another 1076 new cases... 

On another note - Corona Extra is on sale at my local Lidl here in the UK
