And even the 2% death risk isn’t a known thing - people are just parroting that as something to cling to, to make it seem like it isn’t that bad. If you factor in the risk of getting a severe infection and needing hospitalization to survive, then that number goes up.

And since Trump doesn’t know ANYthing about climate or geography, it totally passed him by that equatorial cities like Singapore are having bad outbreaks.. and they’re always in summer weather. So, no, heat doesn’t kill ncov-sars-2. Additionally, from news that I read, it takes temperatures of 56C to deactivate this…

Where will Chang get his yearly iPhone?  He’s probably stewing about that. 

We’ve dug through the bottom of the barrel and are now tunneling into the earth below.

All these people are safe in their manses, hideaways and ivory offices and are shielded by layers of servants and secretaries.  The virus won’t affect them.  Its all just a game for them.  

As long as they’re all in quarantine after the fact and not let free to go...  like all the people arriving from Japan and South Korea are.. oh wait.. 

And if you mess around with the save files on Animal Crossing, it hurts who exactly? Is Animal Crossing a hardcore competition game at EVO?

The Amiga version was  competent but would need an emulator 

It isn’t the flu. It gives pretty much everyone pneumonia, the severity comes from how your body deals with the pneumonia.

What I dislike about the show is the base plotline about romulans being refugees. There is so much *stupid* buried in this one background plot concept that I’m just led to think that this show is in an alternate timeline where all the races live in one solar system or something. 

Also, even if we accept that the Romulan Star Empire was somehow again limited to just their home system, nobody could forsee this? OH NOES a surprise supernova! They would have known decades if not centuries in advance (rememeber, Romulans have been warp-capable for longer than humans. according to the lore).

Why would the people of a Star Empire that, presumably, lays sway over multiple planet and has some of the largest warp-capable ships in the lore of this tale suddenly become homeless and scattered and disarrayed and completely with nowhere to go except a derelict Borg Cube once their home planet is destroyed in a…

Because China is willingly sacrificing billions of yuan or trade and manufacturing and imprisoning people by closing down entire cities...  just on a whim?  If they would just listen to the naysayers, its no more than a few sniffles and a sick day won’t cure! 

There are a lot of asthmatics in the world.

Taking a glance through some of the new Lancet papers that have been written about SARS and the Wuhan Flu reveals one more scary thing for people with asthma and other existing lung disorders..   Steroids don’t work (or, at least not well enough on their own, requiring HIV medicationand other new antivirals to save…

I wonder how they intend to handle copyright issues when someone makes a successful mod with their system that can be considered copyright infringing later on down the line. Do what Youtube does and shove it all back on the creator at the first sign of trouble? 

Also deals with alien invaders. A planetary shield of millions of tiny kinetic bullets.

Yay.. more space junk.

You see all these visitors from Wuhan because it has become one of China’s main travel hubs. You go to China nowadays and you will probably be transiting to your next plane or train through Wuhan.
