OT : The Coronavirus. Has it reached you yet? How are you?

You have u-turned massively in the last few days.

You didn't give a flying fuck until it hit the US.

And it's gonna hit your country hardest, because of your thick as mince president.

You can be young and fit and yet a bee sting or a peanut bar can kill you when you have the right preconditions - maybe ones even unknown to yourself*. Most people can eat peanuts or deal with a bee sting without a problem, but a very few people can not...and not in all cases it is understood why and how allergic reaction work.

Maybe this virus can trigger the immune system in a way that it turns against the own body. 


Why can mot people handle an infection well, why other develop a fatal sepsis?!


So a few cases of young victims so next to nothing about the general risk of the virus for young people.

The part you refuse to understand is that an overtaxed healthcare system won't be able to help you whether it's the virus that got you or one of the car crashes you brought up earlier.

I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about the collapse of the healthcare system.  It's insane that you're maintaining your stance that it's no big deal as US cases now lead the world, and deaths are skyrocketing as well.  You're not arguing against the virus reaction at this point, you're arguing against hospitals. 

But zombies are an excellent way to make a point, go with that.   

When did I ever say, "It is no big deal" ??

I just told you I support the self-quarantining, social distancing and hand washing -------- didn't I ??

I understand the threat of overwhelming the healthcare system. That's a big reason I support self-quarantining, social distancing, and hand washing. I haven't worked in two weeks !!!

He certainly did not say that. 

The sheer incompetence of the UK govt's response to this is scarcely believable.

It's like they want people to die. Read this:

It's obvious you --- like Ned --- are in full panic mode. And people in panic don't think clearly.

But you need to be able to put one and one together.

Calm down.
Think about it.

I'll get back to you later.

Well, as a retail lead shipper/receiver with no work hours because store closings, I was about to get back to work next week with modified work at a shuttered site fulfilling web orders. Because E.I. wasn't going to sustain much for long I signed up. However, Canada's new upcoming Emergency Response Benefit of $2000/mo though upcoming early April, there's no question between forfeiting that sustainable income for going out to work around ppl again. It's not lost on me that Canada's gov't is in fact paying us to stay home, to help plank our COVID-19 curve.

I've been home for just over a week now, 10 days I'd say. Not eating too much, because I don't require many calories, I even thought about common ailments with my immune system shuttered up - if I got a cold or flu after going to this modified work, in the name of rush from boredom, that'd be fuct up - would others have to get tested, would I just end up at home all over again, no longer eligible for financial benefits??

So yeah... sux but I'm gonna hold off another week, 10 days, until I can truly weigh the best for my life's options. The alternative simply isn't worth it, at all other than pride & trying to kill boredom.
My employer is not an essential service at all whatsoever, I just decided to play it safe.

Dan Patrick, lieutenant governor of Texas says older people should be volunteering to die to save the economy 🧐

He is 69, and Trump is 73... They should lead by example. Although I'm guessing they mean poor older people 🤔
