Somebody showed me a parody video on Facebook where there's a bunch of people on a plane and there's a public announcement explaining that the pilot has the coronavirus and has opted to self-quarantine at home, but that passengers shouldn't worry because the plane is on autopilot. I laughed.

Yeah, everybody can just work from home, no worries!

Apparently, a imunossupressive drug used in the past against arthritis is proving successful in treating some severe cases - namely, the ones where the body's own inflammatory response is causing damage to the lungs. That seems specially promissing for the more severe cases of younger people who don't contract secondary infections.

Cases in Mexico went from 12 to 41 in the space of three days. There are also 155 suspected cases at the moment. The outbreak here should start next week and general lockdowns should also commence very soon, sooner than I had expected.

It's Taiwan who should be admired here. They've done a great job preventing it. You can count Hong Kong in as well for being so damn close yet not having it as bad as their neighbors.

There is literally nothing to admire about Mainland China. The methods they used are borderline oppressive just to do extreme damage control. That's CCP for you. They do whatever the fuck they want. Not to mention they've almost guaranteed to have adjusted those numbers further to tone down the severity of the case. No amount of praise from W.H.O., especially Tedros, can change the fact that they were the ones who fucked up in the first place just like what they did with SARS.

So someone on the diamond Princess that tested positive in February and was let back home after he got better just tested positive for the second time. CNN just broke this news.

Yes i changes quickly. Canada is now in the Top 20

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate for soap
Bioethanol/isopropanol for hand sanitiser
Sodium Hypochlorite for bleach (don't order Sodium Perchlorate or you'll end up on a watch list)

If stores are running out, you should still be able to get 10L of each of the above online.

Since this thread is dominating VGC...Here's some thoughts...I'm glad I sold all my stock back in Oct. '19.  I foresaw a recession...and we are in it now !!!

But, not to kiss my own ass, here's something that all of you should take note of...
