"US death toll eclipses China's as reinforcements head to NYC"

Yeah and we did it faster than them counting from first known cases too iirc.

We're going to see continuous exponential expansion here purely because of flaws in our policies and culture as far as any effort to meaningful suppression are concerned. We are a powder keg already superficially ablaze and fuckers are pouring gas on it. It's only a matter of time, and not much of it.

NYC deaths top 1000.

on a lighter note, this is the best conspiracy theory of the decade -that Governor Andrew Cuomo has pierced nipples.

His spokesman denies it, but come on

some reporter questioned his ex-girlfriend, and she was like "That's a ridiculous question, you shouldn't body shame people" -- but she didn't actually comment on the nipples.

He's 300 years old.  He's lucky he doesn't trip over the fucking things.

I am DEFINITELY paranoid. I have understanding of aspects of society and a sense of greater reality that can quickly go from a question "Am I paranoid?" to a postmortem hindsight, "Nope, they weren't paranoid enough. RIP". What I am not is easily rattled, nor am I paranoid schizophrenic.

I AM currently through trauma and extraordinary distress experiencing a severe schizoid personality disorder like "fight club", but I am not under the delusion that this alt is a person separate from myself and having hallucinations of the objective reality of this other person, who also considers himself "Joseph" and claims to be the first to bear that name, and that I am an inheritor of that particular soul. I don't buy into that bullshit in the slightest. Even given reincarnation as a fact, I am this Joseph and no other. I'm a loving red-blooded Italian Irish American and son of Wisconsin.

I know that I have gone mad by rational definitions, and that treatment in the foreseeable future is unlikely, but I am coping well and not in conflict with myselves, so to speak. I can still think clearly and actually have begun to see backhanded advantages to my state of being. I am my own sounding board while thinking and He seems to be able to percieve the environment better than I can. I can effectively watch my own back, for example. I suspect that this alt has been with me for quite some time in my subconscious and has now become manifest all the time. He can remind me about things I had forgotten and it explains some of the most uncanny moments in my life. I'm crazy, but I'm making do quite well given the circumstances.

I wanted to be wrong about the aerosol thing. I take no joy here, but rather taste bitterness worse than any oranges.

Just saying: this forum has had more than a couple plural folks around. So, yknow, in case the split becomes permanent you won’t be far out of place — I can even give some tips to making your headspace healthy for both of you if that does happen. I have 5 people currently, though the number changes from time to time.

Dulug/Ada/??? (girl has worse name issues than I do) says hi, she recalls starting off something like what you describe here, just much younger and more trauma-linked. I’ve also had more than a few temporary additions from high stress, so that other side might well just go away too.

Most important things to remember: whatever happens, having someone else in your head is not always bad, and can in fact get you through some horrible shit without too much permanent damage. They’re also just as human as you are and should be treated as such. Keeping that all in mind makes any possible outcome way better (no self-traumatizing if temporary and no pissing off your permanent internal roommate otherwise).



ETA: Also, PM me if you want more info, but I wouldn’t be too hard on the claims the other persona is making either. I’ve got weirder stories and I’m pretty sure I figured out the basic reasons for that sort of thing. (It ain’t magicks, either.)

Now let's get this thread back on track. 

[The Wizard Joseph]

we have topped one million cases. it's doubling every week or so conservatively. this is a major tipping point adding millions and millions by the end of April in very fast order.

so...
Aerosol
Contact
probably water
and now zoonotic

ever see 12 Monkeys?

12 Monkeys is a really bad source of pandemic info.

That said, zoonotic transmission is a multiplier. I've read enough about the science of virology to know this is Alarm Bells time.

When we see human-animal-human transmission, which is what's actually dangerous (this spread to a tiger is not remotely concerning taken by itself) it will be too late to ring the alarm. People need to be worrying about it immediately.

Obviously, like, that means people who have the knowledge and resources to do anything. Everyone else should just avoid petting strange animals, and keep their pets inside as much as reasonably possible.

Which was already a good idea, you know.

[The Wizard Joseph]

yeah I'm not citing 12 monkeys as some sort of gospel, far from it, but animal resivoirs of the virus both increase likely mutation and make eradication all the less likely. It's definitely a case worthy of note. i heard early reports when I first started digging into China's response that they ordered pets euthanized, but had no confirmation of zoonotic transmission. Now i do, sadly.
