This post is very interesting that I made some memes using this pic after downloading it.

Also, that's a long-ass torpedo Asashio's holding.

1. Paipan, "white tile in mahjong", but is also vulgar slang for "hairless pussy".

2. Crane x 2 = Tsurutsuru, which also happens to be onomatopoeia for slippery smoothness (and motions on such a surface) but can also be used to refer to smooth, "velvety" skin (usually as an adjective, seen often in commercials for cosmetics).

3. Atergatis floridus, AKA the floral egg crab, AKA the subesube-manjuu-gani. Subesube is another onomatopoeic word (and adjective) for smoothness/slipperiness.

I think the paranoia is getting out of hand. From figures and descriptions I've read, the infectiousness and lethality is a little milder than the flu. But since the flu is old and busted while this is the new hotness, it grabs all the headlines.

Flu kills half a million people a year, yet there are tons of people who don't bother getting vaccinated.

China has put nearly 400 million people on lockdown, and crippled their industrial production. You don't do that for a flu. What China is doing speaks volumes more than what they are saying. As for lethality, the flu tends to kill people who are elderly, or otherwise unhealthy to begin with. This is not closely related to the flu, so basically nobody has any protection against it. 2019-nCov is taking out healthy people in their 20s. That's a big goddamn problem.

Developing a vaccine will be difficult, as coronaviruses are known for mutating quickly. The annual flu vaccine is pretty much just health organizations throwing darts at a list of flu samples from last year, and making a vaccine for the first three they picked. Its an educated guess, but its still a guess. They then mix them together in one batch, then jab millions of people, and hope for the best. Some years we get lucky, other years not so much.

Somewhere under 5% lethality for the new virus apparently, whereas SARS was like 10% and ebola about 40%? Still the issue seems to be that it was able to spread a lot more.

And then there's the anti-vax group...

Aside from a higher death toll and a long asymptomatic incubation period, I've read it has an increased likelihood of long term health problems. That is it will cripple you to one extend or another, while also taking years off of your life. Maybe an increased vulnerability to other respiratory problems down the line.

Imagine going your whole life without smoking, only to get hit by this.

basically Ebola does the same thing

Seems there is a reddit post revealing that China is hiding the exact amount of infected and dead people already.

Correction, there is a reddit post CLAIMING that China is hiding the exact amount. Big difference.

Apparently the virus already killed more people than SARS (also a coronavirus).

Also, I've heard that smaller parts of the cities don't have the out-of-stock markets yet. This issue seems to be in the major districts.

The hoarding of supplies doesn't just happen to supermarkets in China, Hong Kong and possibly Macau, this also happened in Singaporean supermarkets from last Friday to Sunday and I don't know what caused these people to panic like that when this is supposed to happen in countries hit worse by the "Novel" coronavirus.

Because China closed down many of the factories, and guess who imports products from those factories? Combined with the fact said virus is seemingly spreading very fast (especially when taxi drivers are among those infected, who knows how many people they interacted with before the discovery). People started panic and stockpiling supplies in case the containment failed and no more supplies are shipped.

I just realized that there seems to be an error or something in this page and the previous one.

On the previous page Yuudachi is already done brushing her teeth but on this one she seems to be spitting out the water she wa gargling or something.

That's just normal reaction used in comics. You are over thinking this.

I'm sure 3-5 AM is the usual hour for people to start making breads to sell/breakfast.

for fresh baked goods, yes, because you need the dough to rest and rise. and that generally takes about a half-hour to an hour alone, then there's the baking time and volume of prep. the baker at the university I used to work at would show up at 5 am, and literally not stop baking till their shift ended at 3 pm. And that was just to cover till they came back the next morning.
