The Virus Outbreak Thread

@Dex Stewart  
It’s a PBS children’s show. It’s not going to have the same production values as an MCU movie or TV show.

@Goku Black  
They switched from traditional animation to flash,replaced va’s,but the music is always constant. I just thought it was weird. I don’t even know if it’s a budget thing or if it’s a creative choice. It’s not bad,just weird.

So, it turns out that COVID-19 is now capable spreading in the air, cause those tiny droplets can stay in the air for minutes to hours, that is new info coming from the CDC.

@NitroFury  
And there’s the dangerous mutation many have been anticipating.

@CaptainXtra  
So I guess downplaying the virus made it worse.

@NitroFury  
The last time I heard that exact same statement was all the way back on April.

Sometimes I wish this virus would either just go away or kill us all right now instead of teasing and testing us with this war of attrition. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing about Covid-19 all the time in the news, at work, etc. It’s getting quite annoying! It’s been several months, but I don’t know if I can put up with this for several more years.

Some people are just straight up mentally deficient.
 
I watched an interaction on the news where a reporter confronted this dude about the effectiveness of masks.
 
She brought up how the CDC director said that masks are more effective in the near term than the vaccine. He claimed he didn’t say that. She repeated the quote from the director verbatim, he still denied it.
 
This is a person capable of voting.

@Zincy  
Welcome to the people in power here in the USA.

@Meanlucario
 
This was just some fat fuck they grabbed up in Michigan. Dude looks like hes one cheeto away from a heart attack so health decisions are probably not his forte.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  

 
It was, but the whole downplaying made us ignore it.

@NitroFury  
I thought we’ve known that for months..

@MagpulPony  
Like I said before, it was, but the whole downplaying made us ignore it.

So it turns out the virus can survive, and likely stay viable, on surfaces for 28 days.

@Wiimeiser  
Guess people will be put in quarantine for a month now.

@lonewolf  
No one where I live would do that. There’s actually people around here who still claim it’s not real,and Trump having it was some sort of hoax.

@Dex Stewart  
I say let them catch it and let them potentially die.

@NitroFury  

The study showed that the virus can remain viable for 28 days in laboratory conditions, with zero UV or other light, without friction, kept at stable temperatures. The study also noted that viability does not necessarily equate to still infectious, as the viral load for different surfaces will vary considerably. This test was to establish a perfect baseline and highlight the need for proper hygiene and cleanliness.
 
 
Come on people, know the science first before you spout bullshit.
 
Basic fucking stuff, for fucks sake. Getting sick of armchair pop science fuckwits.

@Dex Stewart  
Trump got the magic orange juice cure. Like seriously, he recovered in record time.

@MagpulPony  
Well, more like trying to suppress it as much as possible.

@NitroFury  
That’s not something you can just suppress. Whatever experimental concoction they gave him worked incredibly well.

If Trump’s experimental vaccine works, then how come it’s not available for those who are still infected? Nothing seems to add up.
