CoronaBro Meltdown/SARS-Covid-19 Spitballing Thread

[sys]

I wonder how the reactions to this might change is it's discovered that this originated in the US?  Not saying it did, but the insistence in calling it a foreign virus or Wuhan flu (even though it's not a flu) seems very important for conservatives.

i think they're just trying to help trump, who is obviously trying to use travel bans to make it look like he is doing something commensurate to the scale of the problem.

They live in Lenexa, but my grandparents live on a farm in the flint hills. My bro? Former track alternate for the US team in Louisiana. He’s been down there for about 20+ years now and is eating up the South talk. He’s conservative AF!

I thought you said your grandparents were dead and you were glad they were dead because they were racist.

Anyway, maybe try to do grocery shopping for them but just like drop it off at their door. Tell them to not go out in public for any reason

[sys]

well, at least your grandparents should be safe.

My 90 year old Grandma lives in rural Kansas and I had to tell her to stop going to the community gym

my moms side past in the last 10 years, the Fanning side thinks I’m a someone who makes me uncomfortable for suggesting there might be an issue here, and that I’m a huge vagina for suggesting just to hunker down.

I heard it would be 1%.

if everyone were to completely isolate themselves for the next six weeks, maybe 1-10k will die in the united states, depending on how many people are already infected.  if we make no changes at all to our behavior, it will probably be about 5 million.

it's up to us, but you can already kinda see which path we're veering towards.

thanks sys, good info

I have family like this. upside is I may save their life, downside is they call me fake news, lib, fear mongerer when they live. I'm ok with that downside risk.

[steve dave]

and you know what, I'm ok with them not only calling me that but it actually being true. low risk.

[420seriouscat69]

Comprehending how this virus works requires a level of abstract thought that 27 and wacky simply aren't capable of.

Yeah I'll call his parents for him. Also I'll say fanning that you're being such a huge rough ridin' vagina that you'd rather your grandparents die than call your parents and have them look down on you. rough ridin' grow a pair. (Also when you call them vshare info from dipshits like Ted Cruz or Newt gingrich that they may believe)

[420seriouscat69]

I agree. It’s more complicated than that, on many levels, because I walked in on my uncle making out with a guy at 11 and they blame me to this day as a nark and the reason why the family might be upside down at times with our family relationship. Trying to upset them with legit facts will only upset them more.

[steve dave]

I believe you area good person and will figure this out fanning. And I'll support you any way I can.

[420seriouscat69]

Thanks, bud. It’s apparently been an issue lately, because I’m not calling Trump a god and my uncle is rehashing crap that happened 24 years ago. It’s gotten kinda weird and I don’t think they’re ready for a real talk about what’s happening out there.

I went to lunch at Kona Grill today and there were like 35 ppl there, tops. Then met a friend at Brady’s for a drink (Irish bar in Brookside) and there were probably 40 ppl there as well. Our friend who is super left thinks this thing is BS and I told her that I found that fascinating knowing her stances. Sometimes midwesterners are just midwesterners deep down and think everything is a hoax.

I would like to just take this time to emphasize that someone who had basically this exact same routine today will be responsible for another person’s death.

And I honestly believe you feel this way and think it’s true and haven’t thought twice about it since you’ve lived on this earth doing the exact same thing every day of your life.

He was owning the libs.

you know what may not be great for business? reducing the population by 3%.

Read an article about this beer flu was developed by our government to kill off the elderly.  Massive savings for Social Security and Medicare, and therefore, fixing the issue with the huge baby boomer retirement.

1% of 350M is 3.5M, right?

That would be over 2.5x the total amount of wartime deaths suffered by American soldiers (including the Confederacy) in our entire country's history.
