I'm doing okay. Most of the time. Seeing my dad's pre-order info on his Steam profile for Cyberpunk 2077 and remembering how hype he was for it the other day almost killed me, but most of the time I'm okay.

No way. Dad was fucking demented when it came to video games. Vidya is where he went to act like an ultraviolent asshole.

You haven't seen disturbing until you've seen a 70+ year old man giggling while playing with the Yandere Simulator.
 
There's apparently a major outbreak in my town. Hundreds of cases and some people from work were forced into quarantine. Fun times all around.

Testing is very important. We should really be doing more of it.
 
I just read,that when churches in western Europe are still mostly closed, mosques are not, people there do not care about any covid rules - and ....nothing happened.
Nobody try close them, and muslims do not started mass dying.
There are two possibilities :
1.Islam cover from C19
2.C19 is just worst common flu.

Rule 8, week threadban.
 
No Conspiracy Theories - No Mercy Warning
Based on prior behaviour, I am upgrading ATP's threadban to one month. Let it be said for the final time:

No. Conspiracy. Theories.

Random fearmongering such as he posted with zero substantiation will be taken as such. The next offender will be permanently removed from this thread. There will be no more warnings.
 
Well, a certain very important political figure here in the United States has been diagnosed with COVID as of last night, as has their spouse. Is it bad for me to say "serves them right" for how poorly they handled the outbreak, amongst other things? Or is that running afoul of Rule 8?

Eh, probably does fall afoul. Don't know if it's bad for you to personally say, but you'd be one voice in a massive chorus.
 
Got annoyed with increased restrictions here in Poland, about a virus that's just about as deadly as the fucking flu of all things.

If you don't wear a mask in public here now, you risk getting a big fine.

So, I bought a gas mask and started wearing it everywhere.

So help me God, if I'm forced to wear a mask like an idiot, I'm going to wear it like the biggest goddamn idiot around.

... oh, for fuck's sake. We've been here before.

Repeatedly.

COVID is not "just about as deadly as the... flu." It's about 40-50 times deadlier. Its effects are also not limited to just "you die or you get better." Lingering effects, possibly permanent ones, and organ damage, particularly to the heart, lungs, and brain, are common.

COVID is not a fucking joke.

It's easy for people who haven't personally lost anyone to it to sneer at it. Poland had been doing okay til just recently, so idiots have been thinking it's no big deal. They've had a sharp upswing that could have them going full Florida if they aren't careful and instead of sitting around with their thumbs up their asses, the authorities there are actually doing something about it.
 
Michigan at least tried to do something about it.

Then a few weeks when the quarantine was over people bitched about it and wanted to put the governor or whatever out of office for the quarantine even when it helped and now since the rules are loosened you get people who don't wear a mast and can't actually follow any directions to save their life because they are all entitled little shits.

There are like weekly or daily reports however on the number of infected but of course those idiots don't give a shit because it's not them. And go onto make the situation worse.

Like the time when a bunch of 20-28 year olds threw a party after most of the restrictions were lifted and they all got covid for it.

Now there's hints of a damn second wave incoming so it's going to repeat all over again and people who heard about it are doing the same shit they did before and hording toilet paper when it just pisses people off.

~2-4 times at best, with 5 minutes of googling around.

WHO stats on influenza:
https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/influenza-(seasonal)

"Illnesses range from mild to severe and even death. Hospitalization and death occur mainly among high risk groups. Worldwide, these annual epidemics are estimated to result in about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and about 290 000 to 650 000 respiratory deaths."

ECDC stats on Covid

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/geographical-distribution-2019-ncov-cases
Since 31 December 2019 and as of 16 October 2020, 38 984 808 cases of COVID-19 (in accordance with the applied case definitions and testing strategies in the affected countries) have been reported, including 1 099 184 deaths.

So around twice the deaths I guess.

I posted stats from respected organizations. You posted editorializing and alarmist articles.

COVID is a joke, and so are you.

https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html

Researchers from Columbia University recently estimated that only 1 in 12 cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. are documented, which they said would translate to an infection fatality rate of about 0.6%, according to The Washington Post. But even this lower estimate is still at least six times higher than that of the flu. (The case fatality rate in people who become sick with flu may be 0.1%, but when you account for people who become infected with flu but never show symptoms, the death rate will be half or even a quarter of that, the Post reported.)

So 2 to 3 times as high as the flu, at best. Whoop the fucking doo. Let's destroy our economy and lock everything down for the equivalent of a bad flu season.
