The Virus Outbreak Thread

@RD4590  
Oh please, don’t make a non-political issue suddenly a political issue.

 

Sounds so like communism. You need a little ticket to get your supply. We got the same thing in the 60s in China.

@MagpulPony  
Once you used those insultive nicknames it has already become political.

@RD4590  
True to a point. However, nicknames are not all equally insulting. In addition, Its probably true that this Coronavirus was spawned in Wuhan.

@RD4590  
Stop.
 
Today is not the day.
 
This thread is not the place.

How long can this virus survive for in hot deserts where a 100 degrees is the norm?

@CaptainXtra  
On surfaces? Not long, likely a matter of hours assuming it’s outdoors.

@CaptainXtra  
We’ll have to assume it’s the three day max…unless UV rays from the sun play a role in curtailing it.

I ask this due to a large part of Texas expecting a massive heat wave soon and I’m hoping that’ll help kill off the virus in most places it lurks.

@CaptainXtra  
Only on surfaces. Heat doesn’t appear to have much affect on the virus overall at this point.

@MagpulPony  

 
You mean like Trump supporters and right wingers did with masks?
 
Sorry, I’m in a bitchy mood. Just tired of shit on all sides I guess. I’ll uhh, see myself out until I can be a part of the solution instead of the problem… If there even is a solution…

Got that jackass out of here.
 

 
Anyway the virus being so heat resistant just helps fuel the countless “man-made” conspiracy theories.

@CaptainXtra  
Well, my mom was pretty impressed by the virus but my parents are most definitely not those kinds of people.

Again I repeat, if anyone else out here that haven’t been informed yet, I’m positive of the virus just to let you know.

@Searly Sear  
Good luck.

Virginia still doing well.
 

The number of recoveries is two million more than the number of active cases. Canada’s doing fine, but I definitely support keeping the US-Canada border closed.

Seems like Florida is on track to becoming the most infected state. Might even beat New York if this keeps up.

If that ain’t the second wave some people were fearing, idk what is.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
A second wave requires the first one to end, but we were too impatient to wait for it to end.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
I think this is still the first wave. In which case a second wave would be absolutely horrifying.

@Meanlucario  
Because I thought it might go away during May or June. However, people not knowing how to distance or wear a mask really caused a shitload of infection, which made me think it’s the second wave due to a fuckton of cases all around the world.

@Searly Sear  
I hope you have a relatively mild version of it, and get the “confusion” symptom. Hallucinations are really the only good thing about it.
