Infection has spread to Qom, Iran. Iran had shut down flights to China but then violated it’s own quarantine measures for days after. It is a desert city very easy to seal off south of Tehran. I’m guessing it wasn’t a matter of selling more carpets and potatoes but some larger military or personnel exchange they absolutely felt they needed in Operation Fuck America, and in turn fucked themselves. A Canadian recently returning from Iran (region visited unknown) has tested positive. Iran lacks 5G, as does Canada.
In South Korea, due to unusual church practices that encouraged extremely prolonged face to face touching in what is being described as a cult, the cities of Daegu and Cheongdo are under quarantine. South Korean Military has tested infected and even people in insane Asylums. The US military maintains a base in the region and statistically by now a few would of returned home for leave by now. The cities of Daegu and Cheongdo do not use 5G, don’t take any Nietzschean bullshit, and have excellent medical facilities.
A plague of locusts have spread over a course of two years from Saudi Arabia into Yemen, and this year made it to East Africa and is eating up all the crops. African nations have been rushing to get pesticide aid in to kill the locust in East Africa before spreading this spring to the rest of Africa. A massive food shortage of a order never before seen is expected to hit Africa, a continent of one billion people. Mass refugee movements north into Europe is expected later in the year, and this all could of been prevented for under $100 million in requested aid to kill the locust now.
This matters in the Corona Crisis as Pakistan has reopened it’s flights to China for no good reason, and it is a essential leaping stone to making it to Ethiopia and reaching the rest of Africa where 1 million Chinese nationals work across the continent. Africa is only now organizing labs able to test for the virus and the tests are expensive with a high error rate, and many countries openly have admitted like The Gambia they can’t even afford to quarantine the handful of Chinese they currently have and are working on the honor system and occasional police checkups and texts. Africa currently does not use 5G networks.
It is important to identify super spreaders and bad behaviors in advance. A super-spreader can be, but not exclusively limited to, someone who acts contrary to medical quarantine due to a Nietzschean competition of valuations going on in their crackheads spreading the disease deceitfully in ways everyone else would know not to do. They will throw down traditional religious ethics on interpersonal contact, much of which developed in response to eras of plague to limit vector of disease opportunities to arise, and declare themselves beyond such mindless concerns and stand for reason and science, and then will act absolutely contrary to reason and science by doing stuff like dressing in Togas taking their gyro Greek style while singing Gangster Paradise, all the while snorting all the drugs in satanic orgies, coughing all over people in the streets afterwards yelling Hail Satan! If you know any individual like this, you should consider them a super carrier and keep them away. Sling shots while not legally recommended can be quite useful in this task. It should be noted while male Nietzscheans often act like Goth Girls, actual Goth Girls are usually safer to be around in a disease transmission sense as they are usually quite introverted and can’t really pull off social contact with others, and viruses have difficulty making contact with their skin due to all that white and black shit they smear all over themselves. So don’t take it out on them, just on the guys who are calling for thug life mores and a revaluation of all values during a epidemic when order and self restraint is called for abs fear and opportunity is rife. Goal is to lay low and let the disease pass by you. You can rob the liquor store and have your delusional drug fueled anal orgies after the plague has passed.
Also another class to consider to avoid: (since some here seem prone to engaging in such discussions with similar people) people only wanting to talk about Dasein to you, non stop requesting to talk to you like a pestering Jehova Witness. They are undoubtedly desperate to talk to anyone about the subject and when you decline and look aaay will howl Objectivist! in your face. They are likely crazed street people who jump wildly in front of people 80-90 times a day demanding to talk about Dasein. That is a lot of time spent breathing in close proximity to strangers and I would recommend avoiding such individuals as they would qualify as super spreaders, by virtue of always talking to people who don’t want to talk to them obsessively.
Some things can be done on your own to reduce the risk of a spread. Try to maintain 8 hours of regular sleep per night, if you work swing shifts within a week even with recovery sleep your immune response drops below half of restful sleepers in creating a sufficient antibiotic response. That’s with recovery sleep- your still screwed. It only returns to normal after three weeks, and Corona can kill in that amount of time.
N95 masks are out of stock in much of the US. Has been for a month and a half, even in small towns. Corona Virus can spread through the eyes, and many wear eye goggles, multiple masks with scarfs over, or cut out big bottles and turn that into masks. Regular face masks for dust or carpentry won’t work.
Also recommend putting honey, kimchi/sourkraut as recommended additions to your quarantine food supply. And remember, electrolyte replenishment is key. Always Remember, Stay in Good Health through Good Mind, and Fuck You Sauwelios.
