Remove the -tails and you would be correct.

Okay lads I’m confused. I thought this whole corona thing was being blown out of proportion? Are we really experiencing a habbening?

>>6280464
>I thought this whole corona thing was being blown out of proportion?

Yes anon, this is perfectly normal. Remember to wash your hands.

>>6280464

>>6280464
Wash your hands and flatten the curve. The vast majority of us will be fine, and if people act like it's no big deal(i'm not staying home, i'm not going to wash my hands more, let's have a gathering of 1 person less than the limit lmao) it's going to kill .1% more people which is thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, who knows.

>>6280464
It's a dangerous virus if you're 70+ years old but yeah the citizenry are freaking out too much and governments are cheerfully engaging in social engineering. Imagine what's going to happen when something REALLY serious happens - we're fucked.

>>6280472
>Hysteria != le brappening

>>6280464
It's a pandemic. It has happened before, and will likely happen in the future too.
Unlike the past, we have better science now. People are dying, it's dangerous, but it's not the end.
It's quite shocking for us, people who never lived a war (assumign you aren't from a country that actually had war in recent times).
China is already recovering, and there's many different countries developing the vaccine or the cure. People will keep dying, but people also die of car accidents everyday. Welcome to life, it's a scary place. Now with extra flavor.

>>6280464
half-happening. maybe quarter-happening.
A lot of people are going to die. Mostly elderly. There's going to be economic problems for most of the world as supply lines are interrupted.
But it will pass. Treatments are being tested, and vaccines are being trialed. Covid will be dead in about a year. Statistically, it is all but assured that you and those you love will survive this.
But the stock market is gonna suck for a while. Unemployment will increase. And you will have problems finding some things on store shelves.

>>6280476
Which is why Italy is so full of people under 60 in the ICU they aren't even admitting people over 60 anymore because it's a lost cause... you fucking moron.
>muh underlying conditions
2/3 of that is high blood pressure. america has an obesity problem. you do the math.
Even still probably very few young people will die relative to how many are infected. And it doesn't matter, because old people deserve to live and being laid up in the hospital for 2 weeks then surviving isn't "not dangerous"

>>6280482
>Covid will be dead in about a year.
Don't count on it. Everything else you said is true. Not saying it can't be, just that it won't be

>>6280480
>but people also die of car accidents everyday
On the bright side, due to the quarantine the number of car accidents has decreased significantly.

>>6280484
lol go breath into a paper bag or something, pussy - worst korea has the situation well in hand. The wops just fucked up as usual.

>>6280487
don't forget about muh canals

>>6280489
SK isn't america you phenomenal dingleberry and we followed the italy model for tracking early which is why we have to do this now.
>lmao panic
I just said very few young people will die and we need to save old people, but you're a contrarian zoomzoom or globohomo retard millenial that CBA to actually think about the shit they're fed by whatever talking head, mainstream or otherwise, is telling them.
i'd fight you irl unironically because i love old people but this is 4chang. btw 12yuan has been deposit into your account gualio

All it takes is for the closed down businesses and borders to affect the global economy enough to put us in Great Depression 2 mode. Which if the closing downs continue, we're on track for, and yes it will basically mean an end to your way of life for a good 10 year period.

The US economy has already lost 4 years of gains in like 2 months.

>>6280492

yeah well then don't roll the dice on that sweet sweet old asspussy i love my grandma very much

>>6280494
To be fair some people are, and you are evidence of this, so stupid nothing can get through to them but violence. You're the reason why the DOJ has to seek emergency powers to detain people without trial over violating quarantines, dumb fag.

>>6280484
Oh it’s this hysterical idiot again.
How goes it, fag?
Got any liveleak videos you wanna share?

cool so you're stupid or a sociopath. good look dude real.
>t. frontpage
you know your parents can't house you for free if they're laid up in hospital right mate

>>6280521
Nah I just like socializing and making autists go reee
I am going out tomorrow though, deal with it

>>6280520
I don't know what you think you're doing right now. You know all those old people soaking up all the ICU beds? That means you're more likely to die from a car crash, which I assume you realize you're not immune to. But what am I even saying, you're >>6280521
>stupid or a sociopath
and>>6280503
>some people are, and you are evidence of this, so stupid nothing can get through to them but violence
I'll see a news story about you being tossed in lockup eventually, not too worried about it. Or you'll just be pissing your pants when your town is a ghost town and your favorite cafe and game shop and yoga spot are all shut down and people you know are in the ICU for a few weeks. Most likely the second one, so we don't have to do the first.

>>6280523
>lmao im trolling ppl
No, you're just costing lives and hitting the economy harder. Real IQ80 flex.

>>6280525

I don't live in an authoritarian shithole so that's unlikely my dude - I get that you need to believe that to feel safe though

>you know your parents can't house you for free if they're laid up in hospital right mate
answer the question instead of being so proud of being retarded. do you know that 1/5 people have to go to the hospital over this, and that's all the way down to 20s?
>>6280528

Like the USA? Trump's DOJ is actually trying to do this at this very moment.

>>6280532
lmao then you just don't have an epidemic yet; enjoy your shithole, and if it's so dumb it doesn't even order social distancing then you can enjoy far far worse than we're going to suffer. Hey, I feel great, now! You can only kill a bunch of dumbass foreigners! Holy shit, fuck yeah, thanks you dirty asshole. I feel way better. Goddamn.

>>6280546
Carana gets more traction than retro games because it's the end of the world for like 2% or more of the people who get it, and it's a global pandemic. It's pretty scary. Normies are just finding out about it in the last couple weeks, few weeks, whatever. They haven't been on this basket weaving forum hearing all about it from what they think is crazies from /pol/
>and some of them are too
So you're going to hear people talking about it a lot for the next month maybe two. In meatspace, and in cyberspace.

>>6280548
It's at least 3 retards, because I'm yelling at the dirty barbarian and so is at least one other dude.

Lol almost every NPC after Meteor talks about the world ending.

>>6280464
Italy is. The rest of the world hasn't had it so bad. Just remember to keep washing your hands and distance yourself haha

This is hardly a /vr/ thread.

>>6280464
You're at risk not only from the virus but from the hospitals being overwhelmed by all the cases that they can't take anyone else. If you break a leg, better to just have a relative put a bullet in you.

>>6280464
>I thought this whole corona thing was being blown out of proportion? Are we really experiencing a habbening?
Neither.
It's extremely dangerous for old people and those with weak immune systems.
Other people are not in danger. They carry the virus, but the illness is very mild if you're otherwise healthy.
The quarantines are because the virus is new for humankind, so we will all fall ill together, which will overwhelm hospitals and far too many people will die unnecessarily (which is happening in Italy right now).
All quarantines achieve is making people fall ill gradually rather than all at once so that everyone can receive treatment.
At the moment in Italy doctors literally decide who lives and who dies because there's not enough equipment. They may disconnect an granny from an artificial respiration machine and let her suffocate right in front of it so that a younger guy would be able to survive (because the old lady might not survive anyway whereas the guy will definitely survive with proper help).
All doctors want is to "flatten the curve" so that there is never so many people in need of emergency treatment that hospitals are overwhelmed.

>>6280479
>>6280476
You are incorrect.
1. The virus is new, so everyone will fall ill all at once.
2. Healthy people won't die but spread the virus to those who will die.
3. If a hospital can treat 20 emergency patients and they get 18, everyone survives. If they get 50, many will die from a preventable disease.
4. That's why people who are not at risk are asked to engage in social distancing or even quarantined.
For example, in Italy there are sometimes 10x more people in need of help than a particular hospital can accomodate, hence the deaths. The virus can't (and doesn't need to be) be stopped, but it must be slowed down substantially so that hospitals could treat everyone who needs treatment. Hence the quarantine.

>>6280952
>>6280960
it's simply because old people dying in hospitals get better media coverage than people a year from now suffering from all manner of bullshit because of this

>>6281273
People dying from respiratory infections is nothing new. The alarming part is so many dying of respiratory infections at once that hospitals are ovelwhelmed and there are not enough doctors to treat everyone even in the most developed of countries.
And the reason is that sars-cov-2 is completely new for humanity, so (1) nobody is immune yet, which results in zero herd humanity and, therefore, extremely fast spread of infection--incomparably faster than, say, seasonal flu, and (2) the vaccine does not exist yet and will not exist for about a year.
This is why COVID-19 is given so much attention despite being barely more dangerous than the flu.

>>6281359
well yeah I know why, but nobody's going to care when random dude goes apeshit 6 months from now as opposed to grandma getting the plug pulled and left to rot in the hospital lot.

>>6280442
Pretty much what I'm doing. I decided after this weekend that the world is fucked after a couple days of actually working together both sides are now fucking ready to strangle each other. Truly amazing.

You retards are so desperate for a happening that you convince yourselves that literally anything is one

>>6281390
Would you rather see your grandma euthanized surrounded by her loved ones or artificially kept alive in complete isolation?

>>6281423
I wouldn't care but most people seem to think the opposite.

>>6280960
>The virus is new
Imagine being this retarded.
The virus was discovered in 1990, now its everywhere because a Italian bitch was eating bat soups and goes in Yuropoor to infest the chinese virus.
>>6280476
This
But hey, i can agree with something, ecomony is fucked because of the virus due to the fact that in ecomony 75 percent is chinese.

COVID-19 is an illusion. We're living a lie. They fooled me once with 9/11 but not this time.

anybody else not having their lifestyle impacted in any way whatsoever?

Stop subscribing. The only thing which isn't being shut down is the media propagating this well planned scheme.

>>6281970
It is actually killing people. Just like with any other outbreak it’s best to stay away from people, indoors and wash hands often.

>>6281970
Did you get this from an antivaxxer meme page lol

>>6281970
Humanity will be alright but it will be alright because of those of us practicing social distancing. Retards like you, on the other hand, will survive and then claim the whole thing was overblown when it would have been much crazier had everyone continued going out to bars and licking assholes.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I work in retail which is nice cause I don't have to fight for food or loo roll, however I’m rushed off my feet surrounded by panicking angry nutters for no extra pay.

Everyone buys the beer once the pubs are shut down. Shit.

Everyone and their dog gets sick cause it's flu season but the government says stay in if you cough so I have to hide it at work.

Can't pre-order DOOM Eternal cause it's like £80 and I needs that money now for stuffs now.

Honestly playing FF7 on my Vita again to gear up for the Remake waiting for the army to roll in and shut down everything.

>>6280952
>Other people are not in danger. They carry the virus, but the illness is very mild if you're otherwise healthy.

depends
you can definitely get very very sick from this and possibly die even if you're young, the chances are just lower

>>6281359
>despite being barely more dangerous than the flu
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think people forget that the flu is actually some SERIOUS shit, and the only reason it doesn't decimate the world is because we have vaccines, modern medical practices, and because we've been lucky enough that all types of flu have been circulating so we have general antibodies to handle them even if we aren't immune to the newest mutation. 1918 Spanish Flu is estimated to have killed 50 million people because of a combination of us not having vaccines and it being a specific type of flu that hadn't been common in several decades (which meant a whole generation of people had no antibodies for it compared to other types of flu). COVID-19 is alarmingly similar, except there are no people immune to it in any age range. Yeah, it's not going to kill most of us, but boy is it going to have a high death toll at the rate things are going.

>>6282853
Spanish flu hit young people the hardest.
Flu still kills plenty of people, as do a lot of other things, the main difference is that we have grown used to people dying from them so nobody is interested in doing something to reduce the kill count.

>>6282853
Also this is very hard on your body such that you don't necessarily recover the way people expect "recover" means. You might not die, but you might never be at 100%. You might need rehab after being in the hospital for so long, but you totally didn't die.

>>6280475

I don't think you get the concept; we can either infect people more or less quickly. There's no point at which we should burn more quickly.

>>6282913
Why not infect everybody and get it over with?
More people are going to die from the prolonged shutdown than from the disease.

>>6282920
Because that's not true. It's cope.

>>6282920
>Why not infect everybody and get it over with?
Because we don't know what it does to you. The closest analogue is SARS and people are still fucked up from that 15 years later. Go check out viral orchitis. SARS did that. This also attacks ACE2 receptors, so this will probably do that.
