GAY Who are the Flatboi Downs - Part III

Some local scuttlebut has a few people wanting to postpone or cancel SXSW because of the kungflu.
That thing brings way too much money to town they not gonna just up and stop it.
So we'll have 400,000 people from all over the world coming to one place to pack venues like sardines and slobber on each other.

I just realized I might be living at ground zero.
 
FFS - let's not all freak out. Yet.

COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

Looks like this thing hates old people.
 
^ that's my take on it. Yet another scare that's nowhere near the Really Big Deal™ it's made out to be.
Fear and panic over it do way more damage than the actual flu.

Even the fear and panic are helping a lot of rich fucks.
E.g.#1
Big media plays it up, stock market takes a minor shit, little guy investors all bail, fat cats buy the stuff the little guys should have kept and wipe their balls clean with the little guy's tears.
#2. Manufacturers here who were competing with China are having a fit keeping up with demand for their shit.

Most diseases seem to. Immune system isn't as robust. Plus all the residual damage of 6+ decades of PCBs, RoundUp, leaded gas, bad weed, etc.

Looks like a lot of Republicans are gonna regret listening to their corporate overlords' assertions that it's all just a Democrat Hoax.
