outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

just in time for hay fever season

Australia now recommending against all travel overseas and all gatherings over 500 are banned. Although not till after Scotty has gone to the footy on Sunday.

Unfortunately he will, most likely, recover.

Updated trolley problem: will the pandemic have been worth it if it kills Trump?

Just got a call from my son's school district, Austin public school is canceled today. Next week is spring break, who knows what happens after. I checked the Austin COVID-19 page, and as of 2:00 am they've officially gone from 0 to 2 confirmed cases, neither community spread.

Look, I fully support banning travel from Europe to prevent the spread of infectious disease.

I just think it’s 528 years too late.

Just days after mocking COVID-19 as a media farce & a flu, Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro — in isolation as the country waits to learn his test results — addresses his followers wearing a mask, telling them not to attend a long-planned protest on Sunday in his defense: pic.twitter.com/62ORFdUhUM

I have no shame in saying I hope that cunt dies.

... Bolsonaro not Greenwald!

oh thought you meant Twitter

Looking back to New Year's Eve and it just feels absolutely insane that we just walked blithely into 2020 without having even the slightest idea that this was already going on, and now it's dominating every single aspect of life basically right around the world and will do for the foreseeable future.

At some point soon we're all going to be two-tier societies where some people will still be creeping around in fear and others will be striding around like golden immuno-gods.

On Fox & Friends, Jerry Falwell Jr claims people are "overreacting" to coronavirus, the national response is "their next attempt to get Trump," and the virus itself is a North Korean bioweapon. pic.twitter.com/2JPuNBW7C3

breakfast viewing for the president^

Trump will get coronavirus and survive

Updated trolley problem: will the pandemic have been worth it if it kills Trump?

......no?

If you had a time machine would you go back and infect baby Hitler?

How many people at or close to power in UK/US believe in strong genes and strong breeding stock and think thinning the weak out of the herd makes the nations stronger as a whole? Is it a coincidence that the two major govts perceived as taking the least/slowest actions have frequently been associated with eugenicists?

Sorry for tinhattedness - just throwing shit around

finally some good news: bolsonaro's test is positive

great revive!

ffs

(for flu's sake)

good luck usa

The positive test comes after Bolsonaro’s press secretary was found to have the disease following a trip to the US. His son Eduardo Bolsonaro, a congressman who was also on the trip, tweeted that his father “is not exhibiting any signs of the disease”

Bolsonaro dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night and videos and photos, including some on Wajngarten’s own Instagram account, showed the press secretary, Bolsonaro and Trump all in close proximity. “I’m not concerned,” Trump told reporters on Thursday.

this seems...good?

A Rio paper just said that Bolsonaro tested positive

i mean everyone was saying he always sniffs but during that speech he sounded very very low lung capacity. But I am probably projecting.

hes got it and hes dying it happening

really sucks that we'll never know if he got it and even if he dies the admin won't admit

Hologram Trump is going to be awesome

They can wheel the AI one from the Hall of Presidents out if Disneyworld is closed

you mean the Hillary one that was retrofitted to kinda sorta look like Trump

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: NPR Source Says Trump Blocked Coronavirus Testing in January to Aid His Reelection Chances By Keeping US Infection Figures Low

25th amendment

Trump will get coronavirus and survive

― honky wonk badonkadonk (crüt), Friday, March 13, 2020 8:33 AM (one hour ago) bookmarkflaglink

he will die a martyr to the narrative

cause of death: The Discourse

Trump dying would be wild because 100% they will have tried to keep the fact he was sick a secret, and also keep the Twitter account going, Fox will tell all it's viewers it's a hoax, Facebook will be crazy with conspiracy and anti conspiracy theories... they'll try to keep the admin going as long as they can

fox will 2pac him for sure

The people will survive
In their environment

The injustice of our greed
The practice we inherit

There on the beach

I only had a Corona
Five cent deposit
