Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

They aren’t calling it Kung Flu?

The CDC is Kung Flu fighting...

Hopefully the CDC will find a KUNG POW! vaccine before the Hunanvirus
hit our shores. :frowning:

The miracle of wonders.

United States Postal Service Alert

ALERT: USPS WILL BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE GUARANTEE ON PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL DESTINED FOR CHINA AND HONG KONG, EFFECTIVE MONDAY, FEB. 10, 2020, DUE TO WIDESPREAD AIRLINE CANCELLATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS INTO THIS AREA.

Just saw this alert while checking the tracking on a package.

The extended Chinese New Year has just ended.

Extending the holiday or calling news something else doesn't change the facts

The Convoy Store on AE updated today to show delay in processing orders another week or two.

The coronavirus may continue to infect more until warmer weather arrives in China areas of infection and other countries where the virus has spread.

A small group from the World Heath Organization was allowed entry into China but the request to enter from the US CDC has been denied.

Just saw a video someone posted of the inside of those rapidly built hospitals. It seems they aren't hospitals at all, just beds, no medical supplies, no hot water, toilet outside 200 metres away.

There is a Dutch proverb that (badly translated) says: better a good copy, than a bad idea.
So unless you come up with a good idea ……….

For the cure goes the same: it probably will be ready when the next outbreak comes along.

But that’s not the greatest headache for the authorities. That’s the people itself. They want more, and they get more, bit by bit. The people now have reached third base, figuratively speaking. But they long for the one thing that is still missing: freedom of thought and speech. One spark is enough to set things in motion. Why all the weird cover-ups.
In this day and age word no longer proceeds with the speed of sound. Today word proceeds with the speed of light. And unlike sound, light travels faster than bullets.

Is indoor plumbing a new concept?

I didn’t realise I was trying to change facts !
I’m just repeating what I heard on the news.
I’m sorry this virus has made your first world problem worse,you have my sympathy.

No, but they missed an idea to copy. The emergency hospitals from the SARS outbreak were on the brink of being visited by a wrecking ball when they were needed again. So they copied that. I think it had no plumbing. Because after SARS it was no longer useful for them.
BTW Chinese plumbing is nothing like your/our plumbing. It’s more of a virus travel agency.

These hospitals are like olympic villages. The first athletes leave while it is still under construction. And when the last athletes are gone, it becomes a ghost town.

From the video, it seems like people are just rounded up and dumped there if they are suspected of carrying the virus. Quite a lack of humanity going on at the moment.

Seems as though those “hospitals” are pretty much what would be the result if The Authorities™ would just dump sick people into a stadium or a quarry.

They ain’t for curing anyone, but sequestering ’em ’til they either get better or die, no preference on which.

According to Wikipedia “Youtuber SerpentZA (Winston)” was a English teacher and Motorcycle manufacturer, and blogger in China. Wiki does not mention anything about him being a medical doctor as he states in the embedded videos.

In one of the videos Winston said he taught doctors western bedside manner and basic hygiene in a hospital setting. I inferred from that statement he meant he was a doctor also.

So that translates to “concentration camp”

Except nobody went to a concentration camp to “get better.”

Best method is still to boost our own immune systems with proven methods. I used to get colds and flu's all the time until I woke up and starting changing my diet and also when I eat. I have a neighbour over 90 years old living next door to me and her biggest secret is avoiding any food after 5pm. She still walks to the community post boxes 500 metres away 5 days a week and looks fine no matter if it's +35C or -35C. She never misses a beat. My Uncle who seemed to live forever told me the exact same thing. Starve your body at night and you'll avoid a lot of problems.

For quite obvious reasons I specifically avoided using that term.
