I get the gist of your post
@dirkclod (I have been reading your handle as "dirklord" till now - just double checked when I typed it and the system didn't bring it up automatically) and I agree with you to some extent. But I fear that this virus is going to do a lot of harm to people and not just the ones who are unfortunate to catch it. None of the previous outbreaks, be it SARS, H1N1, Zika, or even Ebola had spread this much. It is basically too late for containment of COVID_19. I worry a lot and I worry even more when I think of how unprepared my own country is (and we confirmed our first case yesterday).
Well sorry to hear about your country and get the dirk lord a lot and lord I’m far from it,clod is more fitting for me.
Guys I know this is serious and watching all the media on it
i still think it’s causing to much panic. I forget the #’s at the
moment from just the regular flu we have that has killed so many it was staggering compared to this but it isn’t publicized nearly as much.
This stuff is from what I’ve seen is killing folks that have pre-existing issues the most.
Now being I’m 65 and have survived polio when I was a kid,
7 mild heart attacks 7 hearth Cath’s since 2000 with 14 stints and 1 triple bypass , and a Malignant throat cancer where I had radiation treatments everyday for 6 weeks that ruined my immune system last year I’m in that group .But I’m not going to let this worry me no more than I have any of the
other’s. Being I live in a state that stays wet and hot most of
the year with mosquitoes as big as bats I worry more about
getting West Nile Virus more. Now put having a stepdaughter having a baby boy 5 years ago and leaving him
for my wife and me to raise I have to stay positive and think
all should also. Yes we need to take the necessary precautions but we can’t let this take over our life’s.
I can’t let this put me into anymore stress than I already have.
It will pass and hopefully it won’t kill to many or ruin to
many financially.
So please nobody think from my post I’m taking this lightly.
Im not. I truly feel for anyone that has it or have loved ones that do.
I do pray this will die down and go away soon .
Sorry for the sob story and don’t mean for it to be just saying I’m there also.
I wish all good here and everywhere .
