There is probably not alot trump can do at this point. But nobody, especially somebody like Trump wants to admit that. At this point its a disaster like a hurricane. All you can do is brace for impact and stage the resources to clean up the aftermath.

An Irish saint's eerie prophecy that Pope Francis will be the last Pontiff

Prophecies of the Irish Saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop of Armagh, have thrilled and dismayed for centuries and he stated there would be only one more pope after Benedict.

Prophecy of the Popes - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
The Prophecy of the Popes (Latin: Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus) is a series of 112 short, cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few antipopes), beginning with Pope Celestine II. It was first published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595. Wion attributes the prophecy to Saint Malachy, a 12th-century Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland.

Given the very accurate description of popes up to around 1590 and lack of accuracy for the popes that follow, historians generally conclude that the alleged prophecy is a fabrication written shortly before publication. The Catholic Church has no official stance, though some Catholic theologians have dismissed it as forgery.

The prophecy concludes with a pope identified as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will allegedly precede the destruction of the city of Rome.

I don't like Trump as a person. I think he takes the wrong moments to lash out a lot of the times. As a president? Different story. I don't think hating a person and liking their presidency is contradictory.

But I don't think this is the death knell of his reelection.

Back on point. Right now I have a panicky boomer relative that is sending mass Facebook messages featuring people thinking Lysol knew about this brand new coronavirus in advance! Couldn't tell them that we've known about the virus class for decades.

Indeed, I've had to explain to quite a number of people that corona virus is a sub-type or more like a class of virus, and the current virus which is causing such havoc is actually a new strain of this virus. It being new, we have no 'built-in' immunity for it and we're more likely to get infected with it than other viruses of other types or even the same sub-type.

It leads me to wonder, did anyone else actually pay any fucking attention in science class/health class/biology or were those entire classes merely for my benefit? It seems to me that if a majority of the populace doesn't understand jack-shit about basic concepts like this, our education system needs fixed.
 
Russia is losing the poll at 5.5% while being thoroughly assraped by the tanking oil prices (note: when oil tanks, Russian oil companies raise domestic gas prices). We can't even handle AIDS, we've got no chance at all against Corona-chan. We're too poor for travel, but we're also too poor for workplace closures. Hell, I got maced the other week, called the ambulance, and it had nothing in it except bandages and painkilling ass shots.

Have you ever been to any of the transgender threads? Trust me, even if they're educated they believe if they wish hard enough they can undo fact based science with feels. People think vaccines are harmful. Traditional Chinese medicine. Etc. Etc.

There's no cure for being stupid, gullible, or lacking the ability to think critically and research and it's arguably a more contagious disease than wuflu could ever be.
 
With all the recommendations in the thread, I haven't seen a lot of talk about prepared food being a potential vector. I'd expect fast food, takeout, and restaurants in general are all things to avoid if you live in California or Washington.

Yeah, I don't understand Trump's strategy on this...

I mean I think the man is a terrible president. But, I thought he was ocassionally savvy as a politician.

This is some sort of belligerent gamble on his part. Like he is betting 12 black in Roulette. That the disease will begin to dissapate in the spring.

The problem is that it's spreading and thriving even in warm Asian countries...

A halfway decent journalist could present him with this. Not happened yet...

Who would have thought that having a certain political faction take control of all the journalism schools, and then having said faction wage a cold civil war against the rest of the country would result in mass confusion, especially within a government that is hostile to this faction?

I live in a mid-south state in the largest populated area, and it was business as usual today at our local big box store, with the exception of the hand sanitizer being out along with one brand of liquid soap, although there were two other brands available. Also have reliable info that at least one hospital is confident in their preparedness for the Wu Flu. Source wasn't downplaying the virus or overplaying their procedures; source is 100% trustworthy.

(I'm sorry for being so vague, I just can't PL more than that).

Me too. Fortunately, it hasn't hit people here yet how dangerous it is. So, they only thing I had to paid out the ass for was a mask. I've got my plan now. I have $150k ready to go just in case I have to take a leave from my job. If they fire me, so be it. I'll make my money work from me.

Any hope of containing it to Southeast Asia ended in Italy. Any chance of stopping it ended 2 months ago in China, when Xi and company fucked up in every way possible.

Right now, while extremely virulent, I don’t think it’s lethality will be anywhere close to what people are assuming. This isn’t Ebola. It’s a viral pneumonia. Bill Gates is probably correct that it is a once in a century type outbreak. So on par with Spanish Flu. But we aren’t the world of 1918. The Western World hasn’t just been shattered by the then worst war in human history. We have options besides Iron Lungs. And none of our population has been weakened by things like Polio. Yes people will die. It will be a worse flu season than normal. With higher fatalities than normal. But I suspect once everything is tallied actual deaths will be barely a fraction of 1% of infected. Not even China can hide that may bodies. Places that will be the worst hit will obviously be third world hell holes.

And yet you didn't buy the giant bag of chocolate chips? Dude, really?

Oh, well; you did buy peanut butter, so not all is lost.

I figure Russia has enough vodka on hand to keep any pathogen at bay, and isn't afraid to use it.
