I know I haven’t posted here but I have been lurking on and off. I came across this website tracking the virus on Twitter and it seems pretty good.

We now over 3,000 cases in the US. On 2/29 (14 days ago w/ full data) we had 71 cases. 8 states now have more than 71 cases. This shit is, as they say, hitting the fan.
It’s like, even if you’re a mega-wealthy Downton Abbey motherfucker, you still want your servants to not be hacking and spewing viruses up around your children, right? We’ve reached a crazy-ass stage of late -stage capitalism where rich people are okay with their maids spewing up coronavirus everywhere just so long as they don’t have to pay for sick leave.
I had the weirdest (meaning severe?) cold that started on New Year’s Day. If it wasn’t for the timing, I’d have definitely thought it was this coronavirus virus. But pretty sure that’s impossible because I think the first ever case was in late December and not enough time to get here
Hope you feel better soon!
I un-unfollowed a bunch of people on FB just to see what the derposphere is thinking about this. This is my aunt who I’ve had blocked since Trump won. Could be worse I guess.
I stil take 5k MG of vitamin C every time I feel something coming on for a few days. I don’t give a shit what any of your fancy science says I think it helps and maybe that makes it all psychosomatic. I dunno. Obviously no one’s paying for massive vitamin C studies.
Someone should be keeping track of whoever the fuck manages these airports, hotels, etc… It is gross incompetence and they should be held responsible for the ensuing sicknesses, deaths, and economic damage their decisions (or lack thereof) are causing
Politicians may think that but billionaires themselves are spooked. These guys simply do not give up revenue. The fact that entire sport leagues are shutting down should be a HUGE red flag. They wouldn’t do this unless they knew there was a reason to do this. NFL owners want to charge the Super Bowl halftime performer to perform for Crissakes. These guys would go though a sewer to pick pocket change out of feces if it saved them 50 cents.
Billionaires shutting things down whether it’s sports, Disney, casinos, etc. should be the #1 red flag that we are fucked.
i can’t imagine how he doesn’t lol
Trolly seems to be having a moment.
I had a crazy dream last night where I was part of a group who found a way to use this unprecedented outbreak and economic chaos to usurp the billionaire class. It happened real slow and finally it dawned on them that they had just lost power and all their wealth got redistributed back to the working class people. Crazy dream

A lot of climate activists are probably surprised what is possible if a crisis is upon us. Nevertheless I wont be surprised if after we survive this a lot of the fight against climate change will be paused because we have to do everything we can to get our economy back on track. So this could be the nail in the coffin anyway even if get through it with a minimal number of the deaths.
You can register but you don’t need to put payment information in. They let you make a free account and then you get access. It’s not behind a paywall.
Slower economy will at least dampen emissions for a year or two.
So for all us Brits this seems like a good resource for tracking the inevitable rise of cases in our specific areas - seems completely up to date as of today:
It’s funny how even w/o watching the derposphere every day I can see what the message is. Yesterday it was Obama swine flu national emergency argle bargle.
Today it’s - ZOMG 3.4% is not the real death rate look at S. Korea! That’s it. No context. Totally ignore what’s happening in Italy. Just point at S. Korea’s numbers and act like it means everyone should just chill the fuck out.
I’ve called out the same guy both days - who until now never posts political stuff. I think he might be taking a huge bath in the market and panicking or something. He ended up in full blown meltdown after I kept showing him what’s going on in Europe. Another rich dude I know who mostly stays away from politics is posting the exact same stuff.
How do you think populations acquire immunity to a virus?
So, decent news from the Diamond Princess, 131 recoveries since yesterday, no new deaths. Results now stand at:
696 infected, 456 recoveries, 233 active, 15 critical (down from 30-odd), 7 deaths.
Particularly enthused by the >50% reduction in critical cases without the loss of a single life.
