The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

We get it. You're scared shitless.

Nope not scared. I am just obnoxious and a loudmouth. And I have zero respect for someone like you, so I'm going to be a loudmouth about it.

See people like you are scared. You are scared of smart people. You don't trust science and medical experts because you can't understand what they are saying. So you retreat into sone big tough guy act.

Yet when the shit hits the fan it will be people like you asking for sympathy because your grandpa is sick. It will be people like you looking to blame someone else.

All because you are too stupid to understand. I would feel sorry for your lack of critical thinking skills, but you don't deserve it... because with this, your stupidity is dangerous

I'm a rocket scientist ... not kidding. What do you do for a living? Of course being a rocket scientist doesn't necessarily make me brilliant or anything. I've also seen a lot of dumb, impractical people with a lot of "credentials" in my career. Just because someone has "MD or PhD" after their name doesn't mean they necessarily are at the top of their profession.

My Dad just died at 79. When you're 79 it's getting close to your time to die. I lost an ex-wife I was still close to and cared about last year. Those 30 year old couples with 3 kids are gonna be devastated so we can minimize the risks to a lot of older folks. Not that I don't care about or have compassion for older folks but destroying the economy and younger folks' lives over this is something I'm questioning a good bit.

I don't have the answers and neither do you. However, I'm not freaking out about it. I imagine you're about 60 years old and are petrified. So let's declare marshall law so you can be safe.

Can you just try and not be a jerk for a little while? Please?

And by the way, there's a significant number of younger people that are suffering with this disease too. It's not just "old" people (according to your definition of old, of course). There are three people in Dallas county (where community spread is just starting) that are in critical condition, and two of them are in their 20s.

lol.

Im in my early 40s. I work in finance.

Its amazing you still dont understand. Why do you think other countries, states, and cities are doing a lock down? Do you think they are all listening to people with MDs and PHDs that are not at the top of the game? Do you think they are petrified?

My favorite part of your post is the one about destroying the economy. That shows me without a doubt you are horribly misinformed and short sighted. It shows me that you are so shortsighted you dont understand a quicker shutdown could mean a shorter one. The ironic thing about this is your attitude is the one that is going to hurt the economy MORE. Delaying the response is going to be worse on the country from a healthcare and a economic standpoint. Its baffling you choose to ignore this

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions, assumptions, assumptions. Stop lashing out. You don't know one single thing about how this person is actively going about their day to day life.

You just attack and deflect with "My sources are better than yours" and "You're wrong, I'm right". Get a grip dude. That may be true sometimes but you really don't know anything other than what you're being told and even the experts are treading water right now trying to figure this out.

Why do you feel like you can state all of this like it's fact and tell others what is and what isn't?

Calm down!

Ok everybody, I'm from the government and I am here to help!

Feel better already? Trying to lighten the mood just a bit. Be safe and smart, we will get through this.

Lessee .. he calls people stupid, pathethic, they're listening to wrong news sources, etc. etc. while wishing death on their family members cause they don't agree with him. All while running around like Chicken Little saying the sky is falling, yet he isn't afraid.

And Joebob asks me to quit being a jerk about it SMDH.

Can we perma-ban this pile of shit masquerading as a human being yet?

And to think everybody was concerned there would not be any topics to keep us busy while sports figures out how to recover from this.
