Corona virus

[hossblur]

Your rants are odd. I never said that ebola was curable, viability outside of host was never mentioned, temperatures never mentioned, what "cousins" are you talking about? As far as antibiotic resistant bacteria, definitely a problem too.

SARS, MERS.

The bulk isle was pretty cleaned out though, except for wild rice which was odd.

Not odd, wild rice is a pain. It goes like this: you're about to start cooking your elk steaks, which will be done in roughly 12 minutes, and you think "Oh crap, I don't have a side, all I've thought about is meat and my wife is going to want something with it! I know, I'll cook some wild rice, that sounds good! Oh crap, this stuff takes AN HOUR!?!?! Screw THAT!" ...and that's why I have a whole bunch of wild rice in the pantry that never gets used.

Been there!! Hahaha

I love this thread it's full of great comedic pleasures, partisan politics, great data and graphs. What else can ya ask for?

BOOBIES

BOOBIES

You've brought us full circle

I hate to even think it, and I hate that its going sound like a political post, but its going to happen so I will ask anyway.
AT WHAT POINT IS THE LEFT LEANING MEDIA GOING TO WHIP THE INNER CITY FOLKS INTO RIOTING? AS WELL AS WHAT ANGLE ARE THEY GOING TO USE?
We all know it's going to happen, the media has been trying for almost four years to find a way to bring this country to its knees to destroy Trump.

Please dont ban me but I will understand if mods delete this post.

And with this I tap out and am moving to @Randy11's BS-free thread. Now we just need a BS-free thread for funny pics and memes.

Ive been reading the back of the BOOK and it said this would happen.

Luke 21:9-11 “but when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately”
Then he said to them, “nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven”

Being a great road scholar I ain’t so I had to look up PESTILENCE and I found it interesting

Pestilence - any contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating.

Of course this was written approximately 1,960 years ago so it must be a coincidence. I’m sure this dusty old book my grandma used to read and gave can’t really be true.

Honestly, I’m having trouble understanding your rantings so it isn’t worth responding. But I take exception to this statement. I hate to rain on your parade, but it is EXACTLY these bugs that keep health and disease folks up at night. Highly transmissible novel agents for which the human population is immunologically naive are the only way you end up here. It’s precisely because it hasn’t circulated in humans before that we see exponential growth in infections. This is what disease experts were worried about years ago with H5N1, then SARS, then H1N1, then MERS....

None of those ended up having the right combination of transmissibility, virulence, and geographic distribution to blow up quite like this one, but all it takes is a mutation here, a recombination there. But you can bet your ass every one of those events had disease experts sweating about exactly this scenario. Novel agents rank right next to antibiotic resistant bugs for doomsday scenarios.

Eventually a SARS or MERS. survivor will com onto contact with Wuhanvirus.

Then we can see about immunity or partial immunity.

H1n1 had similar strains that older folks had been exposed to which is why it was believed it was harder on younger folks.

The reason they are currently injecting do is with experimental vaccines is because they were working on MERS, SARS for a decade.

It's covid 19 for a reason. Theres 18 others, at least.


Dial it down about 10 notches.

The push, or sweat, with this one is its widespread. There is a boatload of money in it. Not to mention national pride. Grants. And yes fame.

3 months ago 99.9% of the world didn't know a single biologist, epidemiologist, microbiologist. Including ones in hot zones.

Now they are celebrities(which they should be, and paid like it).

But if you have time during a panic to do the Joe Rogan show, or all the morning shows or the cable news shows. You're not "sweating" or panicking.

This thing is going to smack older folks pretty hard, no doubt. But most disease does. As does trauma, cognitive issues, etc.

The science isvmoving so fast on this by the time a study is published, then peer reviewed, it ancient history. And until it got out if China, everything was bullshit to start with.

Not quite, there's specific guidelines when naming such things.

While enjoying one of my 512 rolls of toilet paper I googled some real cheery death stats.

Plague. Influenza. Cholera. AIDS.

There are the top 10 in a nutshell.

Any of you participate in a 54 page forum on AIDS? it's not cured.

Plague? It's prevalent in the whistle pigs I shoot.

Cholera?

We might get a few lines on dudes missing a hunt because they have the flu.

Honestly I would have thought tuberculosis would have been there.

Point is. Serious issue= yes.

Crash the world economy, make me hide the charmin in the gun safe?= no

Short a vaccine. You all are gonna get it at some point.

Crashing the economy =less capital to invest in R&D.

Plus, there is that tricky "america" thing.

Folks will participate for a few weeks or so with shutdowns.

But very few are going to watch their money drain to 0, lose their home, etc, sitting around.

As more and more folks who recover, tell their story, fewer and fewer folks are going to be so willing to sit in shutdown.

Social science is a science too, and you don't need 54 pages to discuss what happens after about a month of shutdown.

No comment needed.

This is all a plot to take our guns away!!!
People will start hiding the charmin in their gun safe leaving no room for their guns in them.
When everyone has their guns just laying around unsecured they will come and confiscate them!!
From the hysteria I have been seeing, it’s working.

Wuhan virus.

If it's good enough for German measles, it's good enough for those turds too

Not sure why I am incurring server hosting fees for a thread that has evolved into something as useless as this one has become.

Well, if this craziness is still going on in a couple months when I’m due to return to the states, my wife wants me to self quarantine for two weeks. Ok, I’ve got a few OTC tags already, I’ll head up north for two weeks to hunt.

Wife said that’s a great idea, so it’s not all bad.

We have a winner for the "lemonade" side of lemons!

I know. It's xenophobic, racist.

I'm sure all the businesses destroyed and folks who have lost family are concerned with PC.
