So-called "experts" say bidets are the answer to the TP problem.
That's false.
In my travels I've used at least 10 different types of bidets. I've tried everything from the high-powered jet blaster to the swiveling douche fountain to the garden hose nozzle, and not one left me with a 100% clean ass.
I always have to follow up with some TP to make sure the job is truly done.
Some say a shaved canyon helps a lot. Anal bleaching might be even better. Seriously, get creative. From newspaper pieces to old socks and shirts which i'll dry in the sun, scrape off the dry poo and wash them again. Anything goes ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I thought they were for cunts.
I thought they were for pleasuring females.

What is TP?
Toilet paper, the analog currency of the moment. Sheeeeiit, i was thinking to get rich with the facemasks, and now i only have 50 rolls of TP to compensate. I'm just a bad trader, i guess...

Here's what you do if you run out of toilet paper. Jump in the damn shower.
What if we run out of water too? Swim then? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) newspaper

Good read, thanks. LowCarb works for a reason. An old man told me, you can't go wrong if you don't consume all the things that are heavily advertised. Think about it. Eat Burgers, drink Coke, all that carbopumped fastfood and snacks, become fat, be a cash cow for the pharma industry and finally die younger.

LOCKDOWN IN ITALY ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages2.corriereobjects.it%2Fmethode_image%2F2020%2F03%2F07%2FInterni%2FFoto%2520Interni%2FMappa-province-divieti2.jpg%3Fv%3D202003072032&t=663&c=n4hCPtYsKEOG_w) I also don't like the latest numbers. Italy goes ahead Iran. Deaths vs. Cured in the USA looks horrible, too (17 vs 15), is that to blame on the "healthcare" system? Italy and Austria carnival tourism should show some effects in the following week, too. Good luck! Hope you're prepped out.

the thing is spreading like mad. Check your sources ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) your scientific assessment has been noted i often link this stuff without comment; don't assume i agree or disagree checked ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) no offense (that's why the emoticon twinkles)

Now I know the science behind the phrase "It's the change in the weather" when reasoning as to why someone has come down with a cold. Coronaviruses only do well in autumn and spring. inb4: the Lambie 'flu is a product of anthropogenic global warming. Ahm, dude... It's winter here (and in italy, germany...) and the thing is spreading like mad. Check your sources ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) EDIT: UV Radiation will likely kill it, as with SARS. This also explains the low spread rates on the southern hemisphere and near the equator. EDIT2: One last time: Get yourself UV-C lamps (phillips, pl-l lamps got ozone filtering glass tube) if you want to desinfect surfaces, rooms, clothing. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MANDATORY! It's no fun to survive and realize you became blind or develop skin cancer...

Enough with the generation wars. They are not even a real thing, they were created by marketing firms to generalize groups of people.
The children born after WWII were numerous, which allowed for a lot of productivity gains around the world. They built the nuts and bolts of the world we live in.
Their children expanded on the nuts and bolts and made them more useful in day to day life.
Their grandchildren use the devices and technology that their parents and grandparents created and we've yet to see what their impact will be.
Somebody who really deserves the title "Hero". Thumbs up ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Prejudice. It's dangerous and worth shit. lifestyle improvements... gender equality, This is not an improvement. It is, in fact, dysgenic. It's not even good for the economy, it just made labor worth less so now kids don't have their parents around, which results in what we see today. It's a mistake. "Equality" is also the wrong term. It's about stopping to undervalue and suppress women. That "Equality" is also misunderstood by feminists, who (would) suppress and undervalue men. We're developed enough to get along now.

Children are barely affected by this. Most have little to no symptoms and not a single death for the 9 and under group. Thats why canceling schools is just panic and hysteria.
Unh, ... yeah, ... I dunno. In my experience, schoolchildren typically live in close contact with parents and other older peeps. Like, you know, for the 18 hours a day that they are not at the communicable contamination centers. "Sacrifice your grandparents for education"? "Ruin the health care system by sending your kids to school, so you can continue to work"? Seriously, USA doesn't deserve a president this childish: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdX3PDPl.png&t=663&c=h3xbMKN-618ytA) Highest Covid19 lethality in the world?

smells pumpy
I agree (when looking at short timeframe charts). So if there's no pump within the next couple of hours, i guess it's sideways again (or bart finishes his haircut soon).

Dumbfuckery in my home country going on. Not that government officials still call that thing (the virus and the disease) "corona", they announce a healed survivor and several new cases as "good news". Additionally, the odd Influenza comparison always comes as a follow-up in every statement. They recommend to isolate infected children at home, in a separate room, keeping a distance of 1-2 meters, for 14 days. WTF ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) I'll go pick up the kids and then it's time for transformation into the cooking father ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Have a nice day, see you later on today, when we hover at $10k, hopefully. EDIT: Just listened to a radio interview with the minister of health, he said he will delay measurements to control the spreading of CoV, because it's too early. He also made a comparison to Italy, he said their authorities ordered closing of schools and to stay at home way too early. You can't control spreading in hindsight, only prophylactic. In other words, he just waits for the virus to go away by itself. What a fucking moron! We must be the dumbest country neighbor of Italy... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Nutildah puts his dog hat back on... Bullish!
The hat is really well done and detailed, the finer points of which are lost on the avatar-size version. so I'm posting the original, full-size image here in all its glory.
You can bring out some more detail by adjusting the resizing parameters. I suggest pre-sharpening (strong) before reducing size with dithering set to "preserve details"-like settings (presets in photoshop and the likes will do fine). The current version is f*cking blurry. OK thanks, I'll try that. Do you see the transparent version or the white background version? I just changed it. I tried to make the background transparent and may have mucked it up in the process. Sorry, can't rember the background, but it looks cleaner now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Reducing size almost always needs a bit of sharpening, as a rule of thumb. https://nextstrain.org/ncovSlayer will you look at this - I shared it weeks ago but you musta missed it making memes about boyz ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Every strain is different. You can't extrapolate eg death rates from one outbreak to another or to the whole thing without using that site or similar's details on the strains. Maybe your ship of crones' strain was better or worse than average at killing. I did indeed miss that one. Thanks for reposting. I actually found a good summary of most papers on titter, somewhere it's also mentioned that two strains of nCoV were identified, one inducing severe, one inducing only mild symptoms. https://twitter.com/JacobCanfieldWell, at least we're possibly only semi-fucked ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) EDIT: Just saw that PUMP. It's a bit steep, so i hope no barting involved. We'll see anyway ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) GO, BTC !!!

It's infuriating that all the worlds supposed experts are calculating the death rate wrong. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/Recovered compared to infected. A 56% recovery rate. So a 44% mortality rate. And that is just as valid as what they are doing. The correct calculation remains deaths/(deaths+cured). This is important. Most of the people who got cured were never tested or diagnosed, so there is little value to worldometers stats. Everybody notices a death. Nobodies notices or will ever know about the likely 100s of thousands of people who caught it, never had a symptom or just thought they had a cold, and were cured without any medical help. The immune system is the greatest doctor anyone has. True. Actually people don't die because of the virus, but because of their immune reactions consequences. If you have a weak system, it will over-react to the virus. If you have a strong system, it will react less or quicker. A few exceptions to this rule, but it's mostly correct, imo. I myself have a hyperreactive kind of immune response. I catch a small cold and feel ill for like a week or two, without fever. Don't know what that means in terms of health risk with nCoV, but my lungs and organs are healthy. And i'm within the "safe" age band, below 70yrs. Children seem to get infected less or develop less severe symptoms, is this still true and what do the virologists say?

not sure how to protect against the flu! does this count too?
I've heard several times the poverty level face masks, self or factory made make almost no difference. Says who? Or, rather, does WHO say it? If you don't have masks (or you have just 1.2% of what might be needed as we learned today) you would certainly say that they are not useful. Anybody can see that all Chinese wear them ...and they seem to have new cases diminished (if you believe their numbers). Independent variables or not? I don't know. Supposedly the virus is too small to be caught by the filter. Just goes right through. As for the chinks, repeat after me: Communists Lie. The virus itself is too small, correct. But it has to be bound to aerosols or droplets to be inhaled and that is where the mask actually works. The handling of that mask is critical. You have to put it on/off using gloves, discard them with the mask immideately, wash your hands, wash your face. Alternatively, treat the mask with UV-C light or ozone, this also takes the stink and it can even be re-used. The mask is an additional security measure, not a remedy. It just lowers the risk to get infected, IF you take all the other measures to protect yourself serious, too.

No one is around Shelves stuffed as usual.
The girl told me: "They came and they raided us. Nothing happened, we resupplied and not now one is around because they have tons of food to eat." Fillippone bought his pasta with no one around.
Idiots. When it comes to the worst, most of the people will have to restock. Everybody seems to care to not get infected, but if they fail, we'll be fucked by the consequences of political decisions, typically not of the far sighted type. Only then will i touch my prepper food and toilet paper. About the only things that i'm dependent on are mains power and some source of water (even rain will do). For the very bad situations i have a DC/AC converter lying around, which is designed to work with car batteries. So solar power will do, as long as i can regulate the voltage down to 12V.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you don’t have medical insurance in the US, the cost of a Coronavirus test is $3,200.
Poor people who can’t afford health insurance aren’t going to get tested in the USA.
I can imagine this to be changed if the number of possibly infected cases in the US is going through the roof. Either this, or full quarantine for the whole country. EDIT: Today all the missing parts for my 36watt UV-C Lamp arrived. I can disinfect my car, clothes, hair and skin (in emergency cases, because of cell damage through UV radiation) after coming home and disinfect my hands, even before i touch the handle of the front door of the house. Still, what bothers me the most is that four kids in this household can contract CoV every fucking schoolday and then the whole family is likely fucked. I hope they close down schools at the right time, not as late as in italy, for example. Trump is one thing, but in my country the politicians are even more naive and corrupt than him. Prone to fuck up. Oh, yeah. And please, BTC... would you kindly break resistance and resume your way up while i sleep? I wanna see some vegeta memes again... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FysKD9WK.png&t=663&c=-ZHemBDt3QPFDQ)
