Is this the start of the zombie apocalypse?

Viral pneumonia (like what this coronavirus can cause) is a lot scarier then bacterial pneumonia. If you have a bad case of bacterial pneumonia they throw you on some antibiotics and you start feeling better very quickly. With viral pneumonia, the best they can do is to put you on breathing machines and hope your body can fight it off.

No doubt, there's a reason this is news worthy. Even healthy people likely have significant risk, I'm just guessing it will be more similar to the risk of our typical viral pneumonias than something much worse. And I'm just speculating, even the experts likely don't have enough info to make very good predictions right now.

Tens upon tens upon tens of millions of people with bad hygeine, bad sanitary conditions, crammed together overseas during the war, being exposed to a bug when they themselves are weak, stressed and at risk for infection... No modern medicine, limited vaccines, lack of knowledge of virus transmission, lack of global communication, first time for global travel for most of the world - I'll roll the bones with my Campbell's Soup strategy.

You don't want to be the first one to panic. But you NEVER want to be the last one to panic.

If you just spray some Windex on your arm you’ll be okay

I played Pandemic this weekend, lost the first but won the second. I blame the L on having 5 people for a 4 player game.

They're calling this the kung flu.

It makes my sneeze spot taste funny. Plus birds keep flying into me.

But were you playing with the virulent strain as well?

Why am I not surprised that @NateTheBoss would find references to science "creative."

My “creative” was not for your flu reference... Its for your opinion.

Only the 4 card epidemic version so far, training to be better.

I don't have the game but my brother in law does and we will sometimes play it or another one of his many games at family get togethers.

So has anyone figured out what lab is the real life Umbrella Corp yet?
