@apefos...watch contagion. It's pretty accurate...maybe a roadmap.

France will start nationalizing important capitalist corporations. People will pay for all their debt burden, btw.

Ruling class is repeating itself.

A medical device manufacturer has threatened to sue a group of volunteers in Italy that 3D printed a valve used for life-saving coronavirus treatments. The valve typically costs about $11,000 from the medical device manufacturer, but the volunteers were able to print replicas for about $1 (via Techdirt).

A hospital in Italy was in need of the valves after running out while treating patients for COVID-19. The hospital’s usual supplier said they could not make the valves in time to treat the patients, according to Metro. That launched a search for a way to 3D print a replica part, and Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Ramaioli, who work at Italian startup Isinnova, offered their company’s printer for the job, reports Business Insider.

However, when the pair asked the manufacturer of the valves for blueprints they could use to print replicas, the company declined and threatened to sue for patent infringement, according to Business Insider Italia. Fracassi and Ramaioli moved ahead anyway by measuring the valves and 3D printing three different versions of them.

As Louis Rossman like to say about corporations ripoff - "it is not my business, they have the right to set any price they like, just do not buy them" :-)

This is why capitalists deserve much harsher treatment than coronavirus.

Israel and Germany started officially tracked all normal users in realtime and storing locations indefinitely (before it was all very silent and unofficial and on much smaller scale).

In Mordor, Moscow integrated cameras system accidently showed that they already track in realtime specific people (using face and walk recognition). Before they constantly told that it is not such, but due to coronavirus they reported that they added all people faces from isolation group to the system. And later tracked 200 of them as ones who break the rules.

Mordor is most at risk out of countries outside the West. Highest old population as well as cold weather. I got the first case on the island where I live - a guy tested positive at the church down the street.

No where on planet earth, at no time is any homo sapiens immune from this virus. No one knows if immunity after cure is real or long lasting. People have had it twice. Therefore the concept of herd immunity is a farce. No one knows if a safe vaccine can be developed. Therefore there is only avoidance and treatment. Any other solutions at this juncture are hypothetical. So the only possible path is ubiquitous testing and efficacious treatments. We never needed an over the counter solution to a fatal disease so much. Now we do.

@RoadsidePicnic....my philosophy on everything is...fuxk gobiernos..todos de ellos. All governments are organisms that only think about their own survival. We as individuals are responsible to ourselves and our loved ones.And we have at least learned of one cheap and widely available treatment that most probably mitigates the grave effects of this virus. Go out and buy some..today. I ask everybody here to research everything they can on chloroquine and hydoxichloroquine. I'm still looking into dosage. What is the prophyllactic dosage for prevention. I think it's 200mg a week...one tablet. But I'm not absolutely certain. So we might have solved half of the dilemma. Cheap and widely available test kits will be coming...thanks to greedy capitalist bastards. What's amazing is no one is really talking about chloroquine as prevention.

@kurth

Can tell you optimistic news from Mordor.

People started buying Hydoxichloroquine (smart ones for now).

The Taiwan (ROC) Government announced a ban on the entry of all foreign visitors into the country until further notice. The ban takes effect from Thursday, March 19, in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic that has claimed thousands of lives worldwide.

Global Warming....solved. Next up....Nuclear Armegeddon.
