I have decided to Pub Sticky this thread for the following reasons:


-its a corona virus like SARS with probable high lethality
-its contagious in the pandemic range R₀ 3-5
-people are contagious well before they are symptomatic
-human to human contagion across 4 successive patients documented
-number of confirmed cases rose 61x in the past 10 days
-it has presumably spread to all continents but antartica
-confirmed in north america, europe & australia (our main demographic)



Let us hope that it will be a contained catastrophy like SARS, but judging from the parameters this one will be a more widespread one.

We are a harm reduction site so I deem it intelligent to bring the topic to the Pub's attention as-is and let the community draw its own conclusions.

It will also soon become a VERY BIG topic which will lead to MANY Pub threads if we don't centralize it to a single topic for all discussion. This does not just hinder other discussion but will also lead to missing info because its smeared among multiple topics. Lets put all our eggs into one basket.

We got a contam guys, and it looks to be a bad one.

Every generation experiences a "big pandemic", usually influenza.

This might become ours.


Better do that groceries run after all guys. Its winter, you'll be happy to have some good food in your home anyway.  The surgical gloves, mouth mask and bleach are an extra. Let us extend our well wishes to those affected.

MODERATION NOTICE:

One of the mission statements of the Shroomery is to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation. Initially this pertained to the substances we voluntarily put into our bodies, but COVID-19 is something that may involuntarily end up in the bodies of our members and their loved ones.

The media are a mess of propaganda and the Internet is a jungle which someone not versed in medical lingo and medical principles can easily get lost in.

Because some Shroomerites depend on this thread to help them make sense of the actual situation and what best to do - we will moderate this thread more strictly now and will issue post deny's to the more disruptive members.

Its OK to differ in opinion but we must ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION here.

The preferred moderating action will be a Post Deny for repeat offenders.

This very important and initially highly information dense thread is devolving into a dumpster fire, to the detriment of all who have a vested interest in this thread to be a collective voice of reason in making sense of what to do in these times.

Lets drop the offtopic, the conspiracy theories and the assigning of blame and focus on purifying our understanding, each by interacting with those voices in the discussion we have confidence in.

This thread may SHORTEN THE R.I.P THREAD OF 2021.

Let's NOT mess that up.

Those little fuckers need to stop eating monkey brains and tiger cocks. It's like they are trying to be edge lords with their fucked up cuisine and now look where it got them. Who the fuck eats a porcupine? People who eat a civet cat deserve to get some funky disease. But if I say anything I'm culturally insensitive and racist.
