Honestly, I don't know; nobody is talking about it, and I can't wrap my head around it myself. I'm just trying to make sense of it all. It would be much easier to stomach all this nonsense if someone could actually provide a projection like that. Otherwise, aren't we just destined to deal with the exact same mess every single autumn once the temperature drops?
Fine, I've got a better idea. I'll just reach out and ask them to infect me on purpose. There are millions of us—between 20 and 40 years old, totally healthy, no chronic issues—so why don't we just speed up the spread? If the plan is just waiting for everyone to get it anyway, let's get on with it.
This is what happens when we just sit around waiting instead of actually doing something.
I’m trying to look at the big picture here. Okay, so right now we're all stuck in this weird isolation phase, but let’s just dream for a second—imagine the absolute best-case scenario where we kick off June without any more Corona. We, the Americans, and pretty much all of Europe.
Then August rolls around, tourists start flooding back in—people from all over, even Singaporeans—and boom, here comes Corona again. What then? Are we just looking at another round of this whole mess?
Seriously, those damn Chinese people and their constant feeding habits.
Let's get real for a second and ask ourselves—what happens if this doesn't wrap up in two weeks? Or a month? Two months? Are we actually looking at a whole year of this?
Charles Roberts33 said:The media is making everything sound like a total catastrophe. They’re obsessed with driving panic because apparently, this sickness doesn't discriminate. Take Spain, for instance—they're reporting on a 21-year-old who passed away right in his prime due to Corona 😲.
This 21-year-old was already dealing with a fight of his own, battling leukemia 🤦.
The whole thing is becoming absurd. You can't even go out hunting because of the panic-mongers who want to lock down every living soul. You can't create anything, you can't move an inch. Honestly, I couldn't care less ☕.
I didn't even bother clicking the article. I figured, hey, young guy, but he probably had some underlying chronic illness
Yeah, a chronic illness 😂 died from Corona after getting hit by a missile, what a tragedy
My already low opinion of journalism just hit rock bottom. These people would sell their own mothers for a few clicks. And now they're back at it again, playing this pathetic game of auctioning off misery with those constant "live updates" on sickness counts. Oh, look, another case in Italy, two more over in Greece, even one way out in some tiny town like Rakov Potok. It's exhausting.
Everyone’s just gross. Honestly, I’m physically revolted whenever I walk out of a Target or some other shopping center, because most people don't even bother washing their hands. They're just like, "Eh, whatever, they look clean enough." It’s insane. Like, we aren't talking about something intense like getting circumcised here—it's just a simple, pleasant little ritual where you actually use warm water and soap.
The whole world has gone completely insane, especially here in our neck of the woods in the US. I mean, seriously, what would actually happen if a disease hit us with a legitimate mortality rate—the kind that used to sweep the globe back in the day? These fragile little states of ours would just crumble instantly. 🙏
And now, I just know someone’s gonna waltz in and say, "Oh, people are dying from this illness." Yeah, no kidding. The elderly and people already battling other stuff. So... what, like every other serious disease ever? And don't even get me started on the "expert" advice flying around, like "make sure to wash your hands." Give me a break. If you need a global pandemic to be the trigger for you to finally wash your damn hands, you're beyond help. 🙏

Btw, what happened with Nimoy? Did he just delete his account?
Honestly, I just stick to Instagram so I can follow Cristiano Ronaldo and some random teenagers.
Look, I'm a total nerd about it, but I don't really have the bandwidth. Since I haven't been around here much lately, I try to make the most of my time when I am actually logged in. 😁
It’s probably your turn now too—I highly doubt your family isn't asking you about it. 🍿

I just went out for diapers and kid's food, honestly... I don't want to be caught in a spot where we're running low on the essentials 😁 though there's still plenty of stuff at the local grocery store, so I guess that's not really what the preppers or the survivalist types are aiming for 😁
The absolute peak of quarantine logic is having kids who just flew back from Italy sit at home for 14 days while their families act like nothing is even happening. 🤣
Exactly, but those places are total backwaters—it’s like showing up in NYC for a big game and somehow ending up lost in some tiny rural village in the middle of nowhere. Were you actually hanging out in those spots though? Because if you were just sticking to the main areas in Milan, there's still a huge number of people infected there.
