Preppers are fucking nuts. They're often losers in real life who want the Apocalypse to happen because they think it'll give them a fresh start as rulers of this brave new world of chaotic anarchy. Honestly if you're a fatass clutching to your AR, hoarding 5.56, and being an absolute dick about it....it's not martial law that's gonna kill you. It's your heart and/or diabetes because you haven't been taking care of yourself. It's aggravating when I see colleagues exhibit these views, I just tell them to STFU and reassess themselves.
Tell them to stop hoarding the toilet paper
Oh yeah my folks have 3 of them for all 3 toilets at their place. People are freaking out about TP and they're just laughing about it.
That's fucking balls. I'm sorry to hear it. This is affecting so many people, in so many ways. But I have to commend the governments for making the tough calls to shut shit down, to flatten the curve, to give our healthcare systems the chance to keep up.
My wife is too. Frontline nurse, and if/when the shit gets to Kingston, it'll be her unit that deals with it. So we hunker down, we pray that there measures being taken are enough to keep our loved ones safe, and we support our partners as they deal with the fallout of this pandemic.
Where is the "6 months" number coming from? It's an honest question.

Virologist, science, models etc are predicting 3-6 months of outbreak - minimum, at least here in Canada. That being said, if we can slow the spread of this thing in that timeframe, and keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed, as it has been in Italy, we may not have quite the death toll.
Yeah my partner being the administrative type was put in charge of formulating some Covid19 plan for the hospital she's at. The director and doctors are pretty clueless about the whole thing so have deferred to her. She in turn has been consulting government bodies and the WHO. The basic conclusion is that North American hospitals are woefully unprepared..worse than Europe and light years behind the Asian countries tackling this better like South Korea and Singapore. Anyway the hospitals will be overwhelmed if we don't practice social isolation seriously. It's not about YOU, you're unlikely to get deathly sick. That said you may unwittingly pass it on to somebody else who can't cope with Covid19 better. Every person who has to be hospitalized for Covid19 just puts more strain on the system until it breaks. Consider the fact that people who have preexisting conditions like Cancer still need hospital care. Frontline Healthcare workers are already under a lot of stress, give them a break.
Whats up with that?
Fuuuuuuck. This, visually, is identical to the map being used by Gov services to track this shit.FYI
Malicious coronavirus map hides AZORult info-stealing malware
Cyberattackers continue to seize on the dire need for information surrounding the novel coronavirus. In one of the latest examples, adversaries have created a weaponized coronavirus map app that infects victims with a variant of the information-stealing AZORult malware. The malicious online...
Honestly hospitals are swamped as it is. They have to worry about a revolving door of cancer patients, sick kids, and idiots who hurt themselves with sex toys (it's true). I think having a well formulated pandemic plan usually isn't something they give much thought to. There's also a limit to what they can do. If a hospital has 150 beds, they have 150 beds. If there are 50 ICU wards, there's 50 ICU wards. They can maybe reserve additional resources but that costs money. Ultimately hospitals also take their cue from the government health authorities. If our governments are indecisive or worse...incompetent, there's only so much they can do.
Right.
Preaching to the choir here.
