Castlevania Season 3 was really ****ing good, even if it's basically filler/set-up for Season 4.

Man another day, another email from college about the Coronavirus. I'm thinking **** could get a bit worse.

Also visited the big store near where I live and yep, mass panic buying. Toilet roll gone, pasta gone, most canned food has went. Hand sanitizers bought out. I'm wondering where people are getting their news sources from sometimes cause it must be something with big bold clickbait.
I just buy some instant noodles and caramel shortbread and went on my way.

Man I love how folks are treating this like the apocalypse when really coronavirus is just the flu or cold in terms of symptoms but just more contagious and widespread.

Like I get it quarantining is still a priority for economic reasons and to have it die down sooner and getting sick is never an fun experience but more likely then not if you catch it you're more likely not going to die unless your old or have health complications. Its only bad over there in China due to bad medical care and how populated they are, more the reason to not let it get to India and Africa otherwise the longer it'll take for this virus to die down.

Haha you guys don't worry! It only kills those with health complications, nobody could possibly have those or know anyone with them, only the icky Chinese have it bad, not Italy, Japan or even America as contagious illnesses spread a lot quicker due to people not being able to go to the doctor due to the costs and not being able to take sick days which will end up making sick people go in to work, spreading it further and the absolute dumb ***** in the government claiming it's a democrat hoax

My point is its not the black plague.

Yes again getting sick ain't fun but as a whole were gonna be alright and my condolences still to those who died and their loved ones. This will die down eventually as had swine flu, SARS and zika had which no one panicked as much as this.

Regardless main priority is to contain this so it dies down sooner and especially don't reach India and Africa.

I'm still concerned as **** because it was reported about 42,3 km away from where I live and my mother's immune system doesn't ****ing exist, meaning she'd die and I'm being told not to worry about it by someone who doesn't know what he's talking about. Schools and big public events are cancelled in Japan to try and prevent it from spreading further, there's no real cure found yet, it's not like measles where your immune system prevents you from getting it again, it's a global panic with misinformation spreading like wildfire which is also causing a ****ton of racism against Asians due to people not knowing how this **** works and again, it'll likely spread like wildfire in the US due to culture there punishing sick days and doctor visits. Telling people not to worry about something this big with a **** ton of confirmed cases, such as the Netherlands going from 1 to 83 cases in a week or worse, Japan with over 900 cases, isn't helping nor are you comforting anyone.

You know, regardless of your intentions, "only elderly people and people with weak immunity systems die from this" implies that those people are expendable.

Also, it's really ironic how you act like the US has a good health system.

And I agree its still gotta be contained for all those reasons. Still were all not gonna die as people makes it out to be.

I wish the best for your mother. I hope she'll be okay. I could insist she should stay at home until this dies down?

No, only the elderly or those with compromised immune systems, who are apparantly expendable, will die, who cares about them right?

How about you lock yourself inside your house, not being allowed to exit the house to get groceries, not being able to get medicine, not being able to go to the doctor, not being able to do anything really, not even walking a dog. You try that, see how ****ing depressing that **** is to a human soul, to not just be powerless, but imprisoned

I think its time I take a break from this site.

I do apologize if I've been coming across insensitive because I don't try meaning to especially regarding older people or those with health complications. Wrong choice of words on my part.

Don't know when I'll be back but take care guys and be safe from the virus.

Michael the Spikester Michael the Spikester , Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen My point was mainly about the mass panic buying and wondering where people get their news sources of all this from, seeing a lot of people read tabloids which over exaggerates sometimes. Didn't want an argument.

Do I think it's a little overblown? Depending on the news source.
Would I screwed if I got it? Yes with my health issues. Won't die but will probably be in the hospital for a while meaning very pissed off family.
Would I want to be quarantined? Hell no. And seeing stuff in China is borderline frightening along with other things to make say nope to all this.

I think it will get a bit worse but I'm more interested in seeing the political ramifications if any if this does get far worse. Might risk a can of worms with this.

Dude shut up with this "no reason for panic" crap.

It's gonna get even ****ing worse after spring break when a bunch of college students fly out of state or country and then potentially bring that **** back to where I live. My old ass dad lives in Japan where it's more prevelant and has to be wary over it, and he's one of the "old" people you mention have a chance of dying.

My issue is how it's treated as a nonissue despite nearly 20 people dying from it in Italy in the span of 2 days, making 107 deaths there alone

Yeah that's worrying and I'm worried about how things over there in East Asia.

I'm also a little worried about my college's contingency plans if it gets to severe. Paranoia in me is thinking forcing everyone use video conferencing to teach class which I can't do whatsoever if it gets that bad.

Alright I thought it through and the more I did the more I realize there's more to be concerned about then dying.

There's also loved ones I admit the whole old and health complications came across as insensitive I confess I was thinking more about myself coming across selfish when I too have loved ones as well notably my grandpa. So now I have a good reason to be concerned if it gets here if it especially gets to my grandpa or grandma from my mom's side.

Then as Cutie Gwen stated it wouldn't be fun being trapped at home without getting to go out.

So I apologize everyone. I apologize for having been insensitive regarding your family members and to you guys. I should had been more respectful towards all your well beings...:(

Bolderousness I give my prayers your father will be okay over there. Same for your mother CutieGwen I hope she'll pull through this outbreak without catching it.

Nashville just got hit with Corona. What's worse, everyone had to be stockpiled together and sheltered just two days ago for the tornado shelters that absolutely ravaged the north side, meaning that there is a chance of an outbreak, unless it was just a concert-goer.

I gotta drive through Nashville to get home, I'm hoping nothing crazy happens.

No cases where I live yet. City is already preparing and taking precautions on the possible inevitability. Hopefully it doesn't get here.

I'm not as concerned as most people, but I at least know that the disease is ****ing dangerous. Memphis did get hit too, but it's only a graduate who's being quarantined in Japan, so it's fine for right now. I am pretty concerned if Memphis gets hit, not only because I live there, but because FedEx workers can get hit and **** that'll be very bad since they're the ****ing HQ of worldwide packaging and delivering unless you're a UPS kind of guy

My dorm hall had an incident yesterday where this hillbilly dude was threatening this group of ladies just because they were wearing face masks and were Asian, screaming hell at them. You know some people are headasses if they start off their **** with "Not to be racist, buuuuut-" dude shut up you know you're about to say something racist, saying you don't mean it isn't going to make it not racist. Paranoia and irrational thinking are just as contagious as the actual disease right now.
