Day 1 of preparation for COVID-19 complete. Here's what I acquired:
- 13 cans of 15.5 oz beans - 20 lbs white rice - Big bottle of acetaminophen - Two big bottles of cough syrup
Tomorrow, day 2, I am going to search for masks and gloves and probably more food.

Bro I just want people to wash their goddamn hands and cover up or disinfect their bodily fluids (coughs and shit.)
Because colds and flu do kill thousands every year and no one takes it seriously.
Now people are taking this cold virus serious (because it's new) and they're talking about making doomsday bunkers 
I've been sick as fuck for the past year fighting a virus I got in a public space. And I watch people walk out the restroom at work without washing their hands. Coworkers come to stand in my cubicle while sniffling and complaining of a cold. I watch people's kids sneeze into their hands and wipe it oj the walls.
Like. Fuck off.
Also health standards in China are absolutely atrocious and I have no doubt that hasn't helped things. We all know that the air quality sucks. We rarely think about how their trains are so crowded that they literally hire people to push people into trains so the doors can close. Or that many children do not wear diapers and go in the street. Or that people live in apartments that look like dog kennels. Or that many cities storm gutters and sewage tunnels are the same thing and floods result in millions of people walking through human waste.
If societies at either end of the world were serious about preventing the spread of disease we would be talking about this stuff.

Since we got a few case very recently in Montreal coming from Iran, my family will be prepping for a quarantine.
It's probably going to be useless, but it's not a lot of trouble. It's better to prep now than when it happens.

Great info Darwin. You seem to be somewhat of an expert in infectious biological organisms 
Cookies, definitely agree with the lack of care given to people when they are sick. A lot of people dont even cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze. I mean WTF....its like transmission doesnt even cross their minds at all.....

People who don't wash their hands are absolute cunts, for facts.
This is about to get interesting...as if it wasn't already.
I'm guessing we will see rapid community spread in north america over the next two weeks.
At least it's not the Spanish Flu or most of us 20-40 y/o's would be fucked.
More worried about the economic and psych impacts than SARS-2-CoV itself.
but that's me...

and to touch on this "novel coronavirus" being intentional...
I sure to whomever's god hope not.
as I understand, Wuhan- Hubei province had established a level 4 biological lab sometime prior to this outbreak,
and there exist some concerns about this being some sort of weaponized pathogen escaping or being outright released...
I primarily doubt that because I'm not sure how it adds up, at least in an intentional aspect, but I'm not dismissing anything.
It seems to be damaging China worse than anyone, although that might be changing, currently.
Not that we will probably ever know...but since I'm watching the remake of The Crazies ATM it seemed relevant to mention.

We were a small gathering at a restaurant, my dad (in his 70s) and me (heart patient) included.
One of our company comes in late.
This lady starts to hug and kiss everyone, then throws herself into a chair and exclaims: "I never had the flu so bad, yesterday I couldnt do anything I thought I was going to die, but today thanks to almost a strip of aspirin, here I am. My fever was so high I was seeing things!" Indeed, we could see the sweat o her forehead and pinkish fever color.
My father and I looked at each other like 
I made sure to come home early, washed my face and arms up to the elbows with dishwashing liquid surgery style, doubled up on my vitamins, took 20gr vitamin C the first day and 10gr in the 5 days after with extra zinc and D3 to mobilize the fuck out of my immune system.
I didnt catch it thank God.
People are so FUCKING INCONSIDERATE when they have the flu.
It didnt used to be this way. Trucking on despite serious flu is something of modern times because we're all pushed to give it 100% 100% of the time and, well, because people have progressively become less social after the flower power revolution faded.
F*cking hugs and kisses for everyone when you are having the worst flu of your life. Even going out there into a company that is mostly 50+ aged people. No excuse. No fucking excuse.

In Iran, with less adequate medical care than we are accustomed to, the current death rate is over 10%.
In wildly exponential Italy with its first world hospital care, death rate is about 2,65% like we know from China.

trees said: We should not read the reported mortality rates as anywhere near accurate for the disease. The actual mortality rate of this disease is probably way way lower in since there's probably 1000 more people infected for every 1 they report

Asante said: COVID-19 is a coronavirus, a form of the common cold. The common cold is highly contageous and almost always spreads far and wide. This is a form of common cold where 20% needs hospitalization, 5% needs life support and perhaps 2.5% still dont make it.
Theres no chance these numbers are anywhere near valid
In my opinion, this is the accurate view.
A critical issue is that we seem to lack accurate numbers on mortality, transmission etc. It remains to be seen how much more (or less) deadly this actually is.

If you subtract the number of dead from the sizable number of recovereds, then you get 8.45% mortality.

If you take the number of deaths times number of grams of cheese I ate today, you get an even higher mortality. Stop using un-data as if it was data.
