BingoBoingo a bit surprised the world is so bereft of sysadmins and folks renting servers.
BingoBoingo also still stuck on "Holy shit all the socialists are racing to Chinese solutions over a not-quite common cold"
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: mock me if you will but I'm convinced I had it already.
thimbronion: It sucked, but not world ending, no.
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: Being in Cali you may have.
thimbronion: I can't quite reconcile my experience with people being welded into their hives.
shinohai: I just came back from store. First time I have seen bare shelves since thing began.
thimbronion: Could just be China had to be so extreme because a) many olds b) high population density
BingoBoingo recently returned from walking the neighborhood supermarkets. Not particularly different from any other Friday.
thimbronion: Schools are closed for the next 3 weeks here.
shinohai: Supplies are good in hacienda shinohai. Wine was low was only reason I stepped out.
thimbronion: I still have food buckets from ebola.
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: There's some conjecture that this coronovirus may target certain receptors certain Asian men have more of. Still, here's this piece of biogoop emerged from Mother Nature's Cunthead (But it's looking increasingly like China's may go with the US bioweapon lab to take advantage of low USG credibility). It offers socialists of the world the gift of taking the oldest bodies off their books. They respond to this
BingoBoingo: gift by promptly shutting down every active thing they can.
thimbronion: Well the boomers are unfortunately still running everything.
BingoBoingo: Well, the only democrat running for president of the US under the age of 77 is Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's 73.
BingoBoingo: Gerontocracy
thimbronion: I like the "China stole US bioweapon and accidentallied themselves" narrative.
BingoBoingo: There's this https://archive.is/Xsrjx on the "too much coronavirus noise", maybe it goes in a roundup or someone shoots stack
BingoBoingo: "2/2 CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation! " - @zlj517 some Chinese foreign ministry PR guy
BingoBoingo: ^thimbronion you may have a better idea what that means as it appears to be Chinese written in English words
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: Original is here: https://twitter.com/zlj517/status/1238113459234934785 - translation looks accurate to me.
asciilifeform: plague panic btw in full swing in washingtonistan. ( schools, uni, etc closed by decree. tho restaurants, bars, still packed, no 73y.o.'s there )
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: what do you mean by "shoots stack"?
thimbronion: Interesting that in US the social media videos are about hoarding but not people dropping in the streets like in Iran, China. Still wating for those...
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: I mean Iran or China runs with the narrative and the shoot, knocking down the Jenga that is... Well you've been documenting how the Chinese are taking chunks out of California and running with them.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In the past few hours the locals have taken to mimicking as best they can the panic up North. Still with the Peso falling faster than the dollar... No one clearing shelves. Shelves were more bear earlier this month when Tienda Inglesa ran a "Rompe Precios" special
asciilifeform: potato shortage, of all things, here.
asciilifeform: sovokesque.
BingoBoingo: Well, those thing supply lines...
BingoBoingo: JIT everything!
asciilifeform: aha
BingoBoingo: Nevermind Argentina's failure lead to Dengue crossing the river into Salto (far North West), the not-quite-common cold's driving panic!
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile, from the local rags as freenode shits itself https://i.imgur.com/ybPn9N7.jpg
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in Telesur http://archive.is/uI0iu
shinohai: "Financiaremos este esfuerzo con Petro (tm), la criptomoneda mas avanzada del mundo."
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Telesur is a Cuba/Vzla/Uru-rotary-guay thing that Uruguay quit this week as part of the new government's housecleaning
