Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[PNWbrit]

Go figure. The city that had the first known CV19 case in the valley:

Rainbow defies order on St. Paddy's Day

Just read the other day that during the Spanish flu cities that didn't cancel parades suffered far higher outbreaks and fatalities than those that did.

No offense to any Spaniards implied.

Or the Irish.

One theory has the origination of the Spanish Flu being Kansas ... Oz Flu (with apologies to the Australians) ?

It’s a string of small towns along a stretch of beach in South Walton County, FL. The connecting road is state highway 30a but that’s just what people call the area.

Certainly one thing #wearetheworld have going for us that the 1918 inquisition didn’t, is technology. Whether later data will support this or not, it’s good that we have the desire and ability to probe into questions like this:

Relationship between the ABO Blood Group and the COVID-19 Susceptibility | medRxiv - www.medrxiv.org

Here's the situation in Crested Butte and Gunnison:

"We are now up to 13 positive,9 negative, and 39 pending test results with 2 patients admitted to GVH.
As of 10:05 AM we have 239 people self-reporting symptoms. "

I think our hospital has 24 beds and 2 respirators, with 2 more on order. Roughly 17,000 people in the county. Even if most of those that are self-reporting are just common colds or flu, those still aren't great numbers...

It's fine to say that the virus is from China, but calling it the Chinese flu.....is different. It spreads racism.....

NO! It doesn't!

When you go out to a restaurant, the kind that serves food you eat with chopsticks, do you refer to it as "Food from China" or "Chinese Food"?

It's fine to say that the virus is from China, but calling it the Chinese flu or kung flu is different. It spreads racism, it makes it a problem of "the other" that we are being forced to address. And I suspect that people of Chinese descent here are seeing very real impacts from that. Yes, we're smart enough to not treat a Chinese-American poorly because of the "Chinese flu", but do you think that's the case everywhere.

This came from city (Wuhan) in a country (China) where they have no qualms about running you over with a tank, executing political prisoners so they can harvest their organs for transplants or putting entire ethnic groups into concentration camps as well as building military islands in the middle of the sea.

How about the Virology Institute that is located in - wait - Wuhan. You can't comprehend the very real possibility that with their exemplary record of environmental controls that this shit leaked out. Why did the (Chinese) government go to such great lengths to suppress the existence of the outbreak when it first occurred?

I'm calling this the Chinese Wuhan Flu. You can flame me, you can ban me.
What ever you want to call it; we're f*cked now.

Well, it was. :shrug:

Has anyone else noticed the few cars on the road are driving like Mad Max?

I had to run to my office to get something and while the roads were dead the drivers I did see were meandering in and out of lanes, lights and stop signs were optional and even saw a guy bust a U turn for no reason across 6 lanes of traffic without so much as looking over his shoulder.

Worse, I work for the deep state, I have reported you and will collect my $100 as soon as the $1000 bounty on your head is given out.

Also possibly from China... again.

People can be so entertaining. But ya, China's government sucks ass for the aforementioned reasons and more.

Perhaps you would like to enlighten me on the wonderful world that is China?

Ask the people in Hong Kong.

But not from Spain. Go figure.

Just updated. Second graph looks no bueno.





For those of you asking why the graphs are plotted exponentially, here the explanation from the author. Author also explains why data isn't normalized to population.

They didn't seem to get upset about it.

IMO

Wuhan or China Flu is ok.

KungFlu is just a racist WH asshole. Which by now shouldn't be surprise to anyone.

In other news, Tom Hanks’s ride on the Orient Express seems to be going smoothly, no bad symptoms.

NY mandates all businesses may not have more than 50% of their work force report;

Ford, GM, Fiat close all US factories;

Simon, the nation's largest mall operator closes all of its properties tonight;

That's a lot of people out of work. Ugh.

I think it's more the motive our president needs to label something. Why not call it CoVid-19 ? China might get upset. Who's going to pay our bills and ship us medical equipment then ?

Can we just settle on Ching Chong Flu and be done with it?
