Zerohedge reinterated that the Japanese are trying HIV cocktails and so their stockpile of these will rapidly get depleated meaning anyone using them is likely SOL.

I would bet the USA will follow the same protocol.

We have had a very mild flu season here but then it's the boondocks and nothing like our two urban areas.

The Chinese were focusing on two HIV drugs as likely they have access to them. That was in the last CRS report on Feb 10. I'm surprised a new update has not been published...yet. They may be just hiding the facts now as people sift through CRS reports looking for advanced intel.

WHO- virus worse in people over 40.... !?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10490725


First they said, only old people are affected. Then they said young people from 18 to 35 and older ppl are effected.
Now they say ppl at 40.


So I guess it doesn't matter how old you are.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78491186


Yeah...without any rational data from China, and very narrow pools outside of China, it’s really hard to determine much of anything. Any report we’ve been hearing the past month have been guesses...at best. Contradictory ones at that. Seems a lot of people, once they get one bit of news, hang on to that in the face of conflicting information or consensus changes after that. Really creating an overall fog...whether intentional or due to poor overall communication strategies.

I'm starting to sway more towards the mild cases way of thinking. At the beginning we were giving it another 2 weeks, 1 more week etc before we would see the spread. It must be infecting many people but they are not dying. There is no way they could keep deaths from it quiet no matter how hard they tried.
 Quoting: Still Anonymous


Sure they can. The flu season is muddying the waters to such a degree, that they can hide serious cases and even deaths if they want to. If that’s the case, it can’t hold forever...but that’s what they want right now. To buy time.

Still no dead white people. Prove me wrong..
 Quoting: Rockwell


The most logical reason could be because the outbreak happened in China.
Their hospitals etc are overwhelmed with so many cases needing treatment.
It would be easy enough to fully treat white people if you only have a handful to treat. But when you have thousands it's not so easy.
I fear for Ireland as at any given time our health services/hospitals are overwhelmed. Throw a few thousand cases in and we are fucked!!

The coronavirus outbreak has been predictable in nearly every way: from the nature of its emergence to its rapid international dissemination and its clear potential to sicken people. What is surprising is that we are not better prepared. USE-FULL-LINK-uJYrsp9aUR

It's started, they are starting soft disclosure.
 Quoting: Nomadonte


We used to be, but Jimmy Carter and the Democrats decided that preparing for the aftermath of a nuclear or biological attack, such as keeping huge stockpiles of food and medicine available, in fact made such an attack more likely.

If America is defenseless against an attack, we would back down before using nukes, and there would never be any reason to use nukes or biological against us, right??

I kid you not, this was the radical liberal narrative of the mid-late 70’s. Which is why Carter destroyed the Civil Defense, and replaced it with “Comprehensive Emergency Management”, or FEMA.

When the Russian spy files opened up briefly in the early 90’s, we learned that the KGB considered this one of their greatest propaganda coups.
 Quoting: Flying Elvii

Right now, FEMA is so innept that when a hurricane strikes, they do NOT have a stockpile to send to the hurricane affected zone, but have to take emergency bids on even the most basic things like bottled water.

Shocking, right? And what typically happens is some patriotic company ends up stalling a batch of beverages, and bottles the initial water and often for free.

Otherwise we would have severely struggling American citizens.

This generation is among the first to not understand basic ancestral skills and have no stocked pantries. Those two things got prior generations through emergencies. Common sense is in short supply. Americans when polled have only 7-14 days of food on hand. Around 60% can't scrape $500 together for an emergency too.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72341210

America used to have a very good Civil Defense System, complete with huge stockpiles of medicines and food, In every city and town, large and small, all across the country. Enough to feed 40 million people for 60 days on emergency rations.

But Jimmy Carter and the Democrats decided that preparing for the aftermath of a nuclear or biological attack, such as keeping huge stockpiles of food and medicine available, in fact made such an attack more likely.

If America is defenseless against an attack, we would back down before using nukes, and there would never be any reason to use nukes or biological against us, right??

I saw an article a couple days ago that said that India was going to start running out of ibuprofen within roughly two weeks and thought to myself "wow, that's crazy".

I went out yesterday to stock up on some medical type supplies at our Walmart. While I was standing there I was like "whoah..." and the ibuprofen shortage in India popped into my head. The more I looked the more I was like "holy shit..."

Now, this is obviously purely anecdotal. Perhaps a truck showed up an hour after I left and the shelves are now full. However, while pulling these pics off my phone and looking at them on a bigger screen I see many of the empty spots have a little "out of stock" tag on them.

I don't work at Walmart and don't know if there's any significance to the 'out of stock' tags, maybe that means they can't get anymore, who knows.

Also, this is just my Walmart, so take this for what it's worth, but acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin and headache powders, and noproxen were almost completely gone. The only stuff left was the more expensive stuff, like large packs of liqui-gels that are $15/box, while even some of the expensive stuff that was $15/box was even gone.

Check it out. I took these yesterday at my Walmart about 2:00 in the afternoon, store was moderately busy I would say. As far as "where", I'm in the NW Georgia mountains is the most I can say. My town is far, far too small to say the exact name of it without half doxxing myself.

True but most of these events are over pretty quicky.

This has been threatening doom for a while.

Nothing burger or not, this is definitely a very dangerous situation and not really comparable

I saw an article a couple days ago that said that India was going to start running out of ibuprofen within roughly two weeks and thought to myself "wow, that's crazy".

I went out yesterday to stock up on some medical type supplies at our Walmart. While I was standing there I was like "whoah..." and the ibuprofen shortage in India popped into my head. The more I looked the more I was like "holy shit..."

Now, this is obviously purely anecdotal. Perhaps a truck showed up an hour after I left and the shelves are now full. However, while pulling these pics off my phone and looking at them on a bigger screen I see many of the empty spots have a little "out of stock" tag on them.

I don't work at Walmart and don't know if there's any significance to the 'out of stock' tags, maybe that means they can't get anymore, who knows.

Also, this is just my Walmart, so take this for what it's worth, but acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin and headache powders, and noproxen were almost completely gone. The only stuff left was the more expensive stuff, like large packs of liqui-gels that are $15/box, while even some of the expensive stuff that was $15/box was even gone.

Check it out. I took these yesterday at my Walmart about 2:00 in the afternoon, store was moderately busy I would say. As far as "where", I'm in the NW Georgia mountains is the most I can say. My town is far, far too small to say the exact name of it without half doxxing myself.

If i am not mistaken, most medications do not come from China, but Mexico. Check your bottles on where they were made.

Iran did attack but hit China by mistake...
