Coronavirus

Yes I am, but my motivation may not be what you expect.
Since, many countries are gonna lock themselves up, limit work, close big events, ask to limit use of restaurants, and now with Trump even banning travel from the EU to the US, the entire economic system is being destroyed, and that will have its consequences, for the entire world economy. Including the US and the EU. Stock markets are collapsing as a result of all this. How much longer can we keep destroying the entire world economy due to this virus?

I hate money, and I hate it when money is the prime concern in matters like these, but the Dutch proverb "De genezing is erger dan de kwaal" (lit. "The cure is worse than the disease") is more and more starting to apply here. Getting over the worst the virus can cause might happen in a few weeks or only a few months in the extreme worst case scenario. But the economic damage can be by far more severe in the longer term...

I know, some people are at higher risk of dying now (which an economic disaster may not cause that easily... at least not directly), but some of the measures taken now also threaten human life. Medical specialists are under stricter rules, and what if I get a heart attack now and there are not enough doctors to save my life due to the Corona measures? And what if I'd get cancer now and I cannot get my treatment due to this crisis? We are slowly heading that way now... And if people die due to the corona crisis but where not killed by the virus itself, due to all this precautions, then we got a story nobody can properly justify.

The virus itself is actually the least of my concerns.... Just saying.

More media hype.

Have you seen that congress member who wore a GAS MASK?

Lol. No but I wouldn't be surprised.

There ya go, facts by Doctor Mike

Cute doctor, got any more videos ;)

Have you seen his medical memes videos? They're hot! I mean, he's hot! I mean, they're funny!

Good point(s)

Wow

Mhm

No. Not at all. Never. Nuh uh.

But if I do get it, I don't care about dying, I just don't want to feel like crap.

Don't say that! There are other ways to not feel like crap that don't involve dying!

I mean I don't want to be having flu-like symptoms. But if I die of the coronavirus, whatever happens is what's meant to happen. It does kind of sound like I'm being suicidal when I say that, though lol

Ohhh I see
But why be like that when there's a cure? Don't be like the Reaper that kills itself during flu season! (Obscure Persona reference time-)

The chances of at least my age dying soooo low anyway

It's in my country but I couldn't care less, honestly.

Yes, I am my family has started to hoard my school just got canceled and my family has started to steal sanitation supplies (and they're veary good people)

I could care less, but schools are out for 2 weeks

Coronavirus is serious... but the stock market has fallen so far so fast that I’m wondering if the cure is worse than the disease at this point

Only old and immunocompromised people seem to be dying from this. Less-intrusive measures to protect only the most at-risk populations could be considered.

I myself, am not that scared. I know I eat healthy, get exercise, and have a healthy immune system. But if I do catch it, I might spread it to my mom, which will be a problem because she works at a nursing home and might infect the residents who are older.

Well, my school shut down until April 28th so I’m very concerned because it must be really bad if school is being cancelled because of a virus but I’m also not very concerned because I basically won’t be in contact with anybody sooooo idk
