They're making it now, but is it available now in the USA? I'm in pain management, so not a lot of really sick people here. It's a very niche part of healthcare. People call in if they are sick and reschedule, it's really a great gig.

Another case?

OH, just looked, fuck all that shit, lol. Last game I played was tempest and gallaga on a stand up machine in a bowling alley. I'd love to have an old pinball machine, I think I have room in my basement.

I know nothing of the 401 program.
When you lived here for 50 years (even without working a single day in your life) and you reach 67 years of age you get around €15.000 net a year till you die, no matter how old you get.
Everybody and I mean everybody gets that. On top of that most people have pension funds through their employers. Every year your are living outside the Netherlands 2% is deducted though
My dads government pension amounted to 100% of his last salary paid till death and he gets the €15K on top. He's making more money now he's not working

@BP: I'm not getting one, and no he is not a dumbfuck. Triple board cert, no marks on his record, super cool guy. FUCK that flu shot shit. Go ahead and get it.
He is a dumb fuck. Probably a borderline quack too. If a certifed MD doesn't understand the basic principles behind immunology, on why one should receive a vaccine as a means of preventing disease and/or boosting ones immune system against the disease prior to becoming infected--they are, by the very definition, a dumb fuck.
People like you, and him, are why preventable diseases are on the rise. I'd hate to see you on the R.I.P. page because you "nursed" a patient who had a super-strain of the influenza virus, or because you developed cancer from the HPV you unknowingly have because they failed to educate you (and essentially all of your coworkers) on why vaccination is important. Additionally, please state where you received your education so that I can avoid everyone that graduated from there like the plagues they help spread.
The Influenza virus mutates very fast, and has caused many epidemics and pandemics before. Since you're very myopic and close-minded, I doubt any comments (whether rude or not, but nonetheless well-meaning) of mine will persuade you otherwise.
I do get the flu shot every year and I'd wipe my ass with his board certifications because that's all they're worth, tri-ply toilet paper. Viral/bacterial infections dgaf if you're a super cool guy or not. All they care about is whether or not your APCs have the protein that identifies them to the rest of your WBCs, and if they don't then your body is free real estate. When you do catch the flu and are unable to even get out of bed, I hope you reconsider.

Reading the comments on Facebook to a New York Times article about the outbreak. There are quite a few posters from China who are saying things are far worse than being reported.

Those infected in rural areas aren't being counted, bet on it. How many cities are locked down now? I'm sure the CDC will tell us when to panic, right? They nailed the e-cig vape vs vitamin E acetate "mystery" lung illness. Like, what in the world could cause lipoid pneumonia?!? Definitely not a fatty, substance--we must look at all the variables here. It's not like we don't have stacks of clinical data of lipoid pneumonia from people accidentally inhaling other oil-based substances, and that nicotine and other inhaled chemicals enhances the innate immune response in the lungs when inhaled. Which causes a higher presence of neutrophils in the the lungs that are on edge to eat anything they don't recognize. No, that would require critical thinking.

man don’t read twitter if you don’t want to panic. 90,000 cases. China is building hospitals to house 1,000 patients each. Number of infections in Wuhan to top 250,000 within two weeks. Fatality rate 4%.

Twice as contagious as the flu and can be transmitted before the carrier is symptomatic.

Death toll rose 50% overnight. 26 to 41 fatalities. Doctor treating patients has died.
This is the way healthcare workers are now dressed in Chinese hospitals. Dead bodies on the floor

Cases confirmed in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, the United States, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
Lancet followed six family members who travelled to Wuhan. Five of six got the disease. Symptoms lasting more than 10 days. Contagious before symptoms appear.

Nice interactive tool from Johns Hopkins to keep track of cases. Confirmed cases rose from 850 to 1300 overnight.

This is starting to look quite ugly. Looks like we'll have to deal with this one at a global scale; no chance of containing this in Asia given that there are confirmed cases in both the US and Europe already.
