Wuhan Flu Ain't Nuthin' Ta Fuck With.
Who's shook? I've been in Memphis for a month, and my biggest fear is that air travel is shut-down before I get back to wifey in Canada. Aside from that, this epidemic seems to be doing great things for reducing emissions. How fucked is the US news that they're putting more emphasis on stock-market losses than human lives? Motherfuckers.
China doing it's usual nothing-to-see-here until they have to shut lock-down 11 million people. Some disturbing videos on twitter of the inside of hospitals there. Stiffs in the corridors, doctors and nurses hysterically losing their shit before dying from over-work. Raw pangolin with batshit soup. Shitty wok.

As for the US and A take on it, of course, monetize everything. Until all that is left is money, which we cannot eat. China needs to be more realistic but of course the West love people working at gunpoint so we can have electronics for a dollar.
I have parked the bat soup for a while. I mean, what are we, barbarians? Other than that, stay safe peeps. I am told the infirm are most at risk, so yeah, I'm on the Alive tablets since time and will continue to do so for the foreseeable.
Duder can vouch for my skin quality
I'm not buying into the news media fueled fear machine. I've eaten at a couple of restaurants I just discovered in Chinatown and the San Gabriel Valley in the past few weeks and did so without thinking twice. I'm living life. I don't think it's a "hoax" like some conspiracy minded people are saying and it's something to be concerned about, but the ones who are rushing to the store (probably weaving carelessly in and out of freeway traffic while staring at the cell phone) to buy the last remaining ineffective hand sanitizer gel bottles or sawdust masks on the shelves need to put things in perspective.
Had the discussion with my parents, who are firmly in the "medically vulnerable" bracket, flying over to visit this week, about how TSA/food service workers are probably not shelling out 3 grand to get their flu-like symptoms tested while touching 20,000 people, or people's food, a day or whatever. But really, aside from meticulous handwashing, there's not a lot to be done.

In high school band, the gong we had was made in Wuhan and I remember making the WU-HAN!! I Got You All In Check joke, so really, you're all stealing from 14 year old me
Just take plenty of iodine.

I have an exhibition planned of paintings and photos in Tokyo in April but that's in limbo. Glad to see you're still planning to go ahead with it, hope I can make it too. Have until March 10 to see how things pan out and then decide whether to go ahead with it or not.
Right now, they are at around 300 cases not including the Diamond Princess. 300 out of 120 million ain't bad.
Thoughts and prayers mang, thoughts and prayers.
Every morning I watch the local Memphis news and wait for gun murders. 2 or 3 every weekend, a couple more throughout the week, but sometimes I’ll hear of knife murder and scream at the tv that it’s un-American.
Although....
I don’t think people realize how many service industry workers will continue going to work, cooking and serving your food, cleaning your houses, and selling you respirators, with flu-like symptoms because they don’t have paid sick days.
It's either that or grabbed by the pussy.
Call me cynical, but I'm wondering if this isn't in part a way to close borders? The Right has been making political hay out of Muslim refugees, I bet they're keen to find an excuse to stop the influx and virus fears kind of works. Or I'm just being massively cynical.
It's bananas, the culture in the U.S. I was a temporary resident for a few years once. The nicest people in the world, but personal freedom from tyranny to tha death. (No diss, US strutters - just an outsiders hot take.)
I could feel a big difference between Spain and the UK, and I'll be happy to take up Spanish citizenship when me & wifey have stopped moving around. Wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for that pesky Brexit, daggnabbit.
Well shit. I’ll be watching Trudeau very carefully. My flight is tomorrow morning.
what an amazing country
aldo i know y’all got a copy of this filed

Hey kala. Unfortunately we have decided to cancel our trip
Shit is just too real right now with the all the mass hysteria and uncertainty here in the US and Japan. I was REALLY looking forward to record shopping in Tokyo. Hopefully next year we can do it proper (if we survive this mess).
EDIT: scored some toilet paper today. The good stuff with a high street-value.
