No, really, I am serious now... Why do people think toilet paper will be their biggest concern in case of a shortage of supplies?
Maybe it's the cheapest way to completely fill a supermarket cart so that they fool themselves that they are doing good?
Nonsense.
Think you nailed it.  |

Bernie doesnt like private property or capital. Bitcoin is the ultimate form of private property. Bernie and his communist idealogues in the White House would have been very hostile to Bitcoin for 4 years. Covbull-19 was very fatal to Bernie's chances and it put money printers into maximum overdrive on their printing presses. Its as bullish as a flu bug can be.  Bernie is by far the best candidate for bitcoin. Even though he is documented as being anti-fed, a higher debt would lead to more money printing, which means a weakening of the dollar and a strengthening of bitcoin. Not to mention he also wants to deliver free high-speed internet across the country which would allow more people to use bitcoin than are currently able. As an establishment hack, Biden will protect the dollar and poo-poo bitcoin in a similar fashion as Trump. You have to decide what you value more: a non-socialist president or a pro-bitcoin political/economic environment. Bernie would have put far left types in powerful positions. It matters less what Bernie thinks about Bitcoin and the Fed, vs what kind of people Bernie would appoint to hundreds of powerful positions. These would be people who leaned very far left, and once you go far enough left you start wanting to abolish private property and put the gov in control of everything, especially money. Bitcoin won big when Bernie got trashed. Yes its speculation, but I have no reason to believe Bernie wouldnt put communist/far left idealogues in power at places like the Treasury, the Fed, the Supreme Court, the FBI, the SEC, the Justice Department, etc, and these people would be very hostile to private money like Bitcoin. Do you think its a coincidence that 2 out of 4 of the communist party ran govs are hostile to Bitcoin to the point of banning exchanges, banning it for use of payments, and not letting their Banks touch it? Bernie could ban Bitcoin in a heartbeat with an executive order. Trump might talk bad about it but he would never be foolish enough to piss off that many voters. Bernie is such a rigid idealogue I doubt he would give two shits about what people thought. Biden is a centrist and for Bitcoin in America thats pretty damn good bc centrists will tolerate it. Covbull-19 saved our asses by taking down Bernie. |

I'm not a specialist in discussing US politics, but someone from the US please correct me if I'm getting it wrong:
Will the spreading of the coronavirus in the US benefit Sanders against Biden? Sanders is (arguably) the politician from whom I've heard about healthcare improvement the most; IMO, the failure of the healthcare system in the USA at this point will give the old man some extra advantage in his campaign.
Bernie is already toast. He got rejected in major primaries on Super Tuesday and has little more chance to win in the betting markets than Hillary Clinton, which is to say he is a big long shot now and his front runner status was destroyed. Most legal American occupants understand that capitalism made America rich and rich countries do better in emergency situations than poor ones. When the going could hypothetically get tough bc of some unkown like Covbull-19 people arent looking to switch to an economic system that makes you poorer in aggregate just to make a few deadbeats happy that they will get free shit off the backs of working people. Id say CovBull-19 helped Biden do so well on Super Tuesday, people started giving more thought to the implications of converting to a Cuba or Venezuela type of economy and how we would fare in bad situations with a guy bent on stifling innovation and prosperity. Bernie doesnt like private property or capital. Bitcoin is the ultimate form of private property. Bernie and his communist idealogues in the White House would have been very hostile to Bitcoin for 4 years. Covbull-19 was very fatal to Bernie's chances and it put money printers into maximum overdrive on their printing presses. Its as bullish as a flu bug can be. |

Italy is no different than all the other countries in that they are not testing everyone they know who was in contact with the virus.
There is only one difference: in Italy there is an high percentage of elderly people: Italian has the second life expectancy in the world. So we are vulnerable to elderly-affecting disease. Regarding car crashes is not sitting with an elderly in the hospital that bothers me: it that there is the concrete possibility that every ICU is already taken by them leaving none for me!  via Imgflip Meme GeneratorHow fast are you driving buddy! Slow it down. Thats a real issue you point out. A massive gov campaign to get everyone to buckle up and maybe double speeding fines would probably fix that. A lot wiser move than the global hysteria and fear porn we are seeing right now. |

<...> Dont worry GayJG, Covbull-19 is mostly hype. Just stay healthy and keep that immune system strong. Watch out for the really big text walls and arguing with anyone who speculates on a speculation thread an you'll be fine. Good to have you back now that you have learned your lesson. Im always here to help.  I was discussing this exact point via PM with @tranthidung. Take Italy for example: These are the official data: (Google Translate translation,sorry) The situation in Italy: March 6, 2020, 6.00 p.m.
POSITIVE 3916
DECEASED 197
HEALED 523
Press conference of the Head of Civil Protection Angelo Borrelli at 6 pm on 6 March:
4636 people who contracted the virus, currently positive 3916, 197 died and 523 recovered.
Among the 3916 positives:
1060 are found in home isolation
2394 hospitalized with symptoms
462 in intensive care
SOURCE: Italian Health MinisterI am not scared by mortality rate. I am, as my relevant persons are, well below the age where mortality rate rises significantly. I am worried by two things: - The impact of getting ill, specifically the fact I could be quarantined, and how this could impact my life and my closest persons' too, as they could potentially be quarantined too.
- The impact on Italian Health system. Italy has a public
free prepaid via general taxation health system (according to a Bloomberg survey it is the 4th most efficient system in the world).
Contrary to other infections, COVID develops in severe pneumonia very quickly, putting health systems at strain all of a sudden.
Now there are 462 hospitalised in ICU units, mostly in the region where I live. What happens if I get sick and there aren't ICU left? OR what happens if I have a car accident (touch wood) and I need an ICU , but there are non left because the COVID19?
This is why I am, at least a bit, scared. Italy is no different than all the other countries in that they are not testing everyone they know who was in contact with the virus. You will never get legit info about mortality rates or critical condition rates as long as they do this, and just like they are incentivized to tax and spend into deep debt, print money, etc, they are incentivized to keep reported cases down by not testing too much. Everyone mocked China for this, but every other gov following the same playbook, just not as extreme. We are all Chinese now. The big way this is backfiring on Govs like the US for instance is that by keeping the number of cases low in hopes of avoiding fear, they are making the fear worse bc it seems the mortality rates and odds of going to ICU are much higher than they really are. Truth is tons and tons of people are walking around with COVBULL-19 in most countries and dont know it. During peak flu season ICU's routinely get overloaded. If you get in a car wreck and need ICU but a bunch of 80 year olds are already in them bc of flu season or Covbull-19, yes that would suck. But.... getting in a car wreck that bad is gonna suck even if they have 100 ICU beds waiting for you. Drive safe! These high mortality rates are as fake as the gov reported inflation rates. The critical condition rates are just as inflated. Poor diet is a bigger threat than this hyped China Flu will ever be. This whole thing had my attention with all the Wuhan shit that was going on early, but once we started getting some real data I ceased to worry about this, and hopefully you will do the same soon enough. If Im wrong and we are all gonna go extinct bc we like to order junk products from Chinese factories, well fuck it, humanity was a cool experiment and Im sure we will have a nice place in the fossil record. |

I found something very disturbing, we might all be fucked anyway. It seems that 45 percent of people infected gets pulmonary fibrosis, average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.20024539v2.full.pdfGaohong Sheng et al. [22] have shown that viral infection could increase the risk of pulmonary fibrosis. Xie et al. [23] found that 45% of patients showed signs of pulmonary fibrosis within one month after being infected with SARS-CoV. Hui et al. [24] revealed that 36% and 30% of patients infected with SARS-CoV developed pulmonary fibrosis 3 and 6 months after infection. These studies consistently suggest that pulmonary fibrosis will become one of the serious complications in patients with 2019-nCoV infection. How to prevent and reduce the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with 2019-nCoV infection are urgent problems for medical workers in the treatment of 2019-nCoV. What is Pulmonary fibrosis Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath. What is the life expectancy of a person with pulmonary fibrosis? There is currently no cure for pulmonary fibrosis but treatments and therapies are improving all the time. The average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years but if it’s caught early, treatment can help slow down the progression of the disease. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT04279197?recrs=a&view=recordThey are saying that 45 percent of people infected w SARS(not Covid-19) show signs of pulmonary fibrosis after one month, only 30-36 percent actually developed after it 6 months. They are just speculating it might be some type of complication with some COVBULL-19 flu patients, but they have zero confirmation of this conjecture whatsoever afaik. Just a nice way to create some buzz and get some fat research grants. We will all still live forever and ever in the glory of King Bitcoin. |

Keep working at it GayJG, I really think you have made some progress. One of the problemas with weak-minded emotional peeps is that they tend to frequently prematurely conclude that correlation is the same as causation.. would suck to be that kind of peep. right, lambie bambie? Yes, Slayer is right, he is the only one to ever shut me up for a week and he did by just pointing out the obvious. If I didnt leave for a week and seek help my blood pressure would have gone through the roof and I couldnt risk that with a nasty flu going around.
Dont worry GayJG, Covbull-19 is mostly hype. Just stay healthy and keep that immune system strong. Watch out for the really big text walls and arguing with anyone who speculates on a speculation thread an you'll be fine. Good to have you back now that you have learned your lesson.

So at first i rejoiced, it seemed that lambie had defeated JJG and all was well.
But it seems increasingly that our heroic lambie sacrificed himself in the effort, perhaps he was a little careless with the PPE, or maybe in the heat of battle it was inevitable, but sadly our lambie appears to have been infected with the wordy virus.
A sad day.
He's like my lil side-kick.... that's what Roach said about Ibian. He humiliated me and defeated me so badly I ran away for a week an almost never came back. The urge to type is too strong though. EDIT: Welcome back, JJG Dont be such a cunt this time around. Follow your therapists advice please. Thanks OOM..... Only like 11 pages, now, and then caught up.... hahahahahaha
In going through the pages, several times, I had already seen that Lambie bambie had referenced me and even subconsciously, he could not control his lil dedos. Slayer wasnt sure if I was gone bc of my blood pressure or just to get some counseling. He didnt actually care, just a bit curious which one. It was counseling this time. Im working on being a better person, but its a long journey and Slayer will hopefully help mentor me through it. Dont worry GayJG. You're gonna be just fine. |

....Don't just shift the goalpost according to your own whims. And you are still calculating it wrong. This is a waste of time. Shifting the goal posts and making shit up remains one of lambie bambie's specialities. Slayer embarrassed and exposed me so badly I went into hiding and was too scared to touch my keyboard for many days. I even got therapy and my counselor told me to just stop being a cunt and Slayer would have mercy, but I cant help myself.Keep working at it GayJG, I really think you have made some progress. |

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"? The extremely elderly should stay away from everyone for their own safety till this blows over. Pretty much what a lot of very old people do anyway. https://www.studyfinds.org/lonely-lives-alarming-number-of-seniors-go-entire-week-without-talking-to-anyone/We should cancel mandatory government schooling permanently but not bc they will die of the plague but bc goverments suck at everything including schooling kids in a prison type environment that makes them want to shoot the place up. |
