CoronaVirus

Once healthy, middle-age people start dying in droves, then I will continue to not worry. My immune system is either good enough or it's not. Hand sanitizer is not the solution.

You would think. There are currently 2 cases in Florida, 1 of which is my area. From what the local news outlet reported, this person is a 20-year-old female who RECENTLY went to northern Italy and came back with the virus. Why in the world would you go to a place with a major outbreak? The virus didn't happen overnight and it's been some time since the outbreak. Furthermore, why would the US let her back into the country after visiting another country with a known issue AND having contracted the virus, and let her go about her way? The news outlet also stated she is being isolated at her home, however, this is extremely subjective. Is anyone monitoring to ensure she stays home and keeping herself isolated? This is, of course, just my thoughts and opinion (disclaimer covered).

A fellow Asian. So tell me, are you experiencing any looks/racist remarks due to this sh!t? lol because I am. I was born and raised in Florida, but I guess my eyes make it seem otherwise

I agree, but it see this two ways. This sh!t is serious, but the media is making this into a bigger issue. IMO, I believe that nature will take its course and the survival of the fittest theory. Though I think the masks, antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizer, etc. all have an influence on the severity of how it's spread and on the suffering of the individual should they contract the virus, but at the end of the day, I also feel as if these items only provide a greater false sense of security. It's like wheel locks - they are theft-deterrent to a certain degree, but if someone really wanted your wheels, there are ways around the wheel locks. Again, this is just my thoughts and opinion (disclaimer covered).

Just another way of mother nature thinning the herd.

Im so over all this coronavirus bs! Please, let me be infected asap, I'll either pass ( as i could during any flu season), or my body will develop an immunity to the ×××× like its been doing since 1968. There's no way to avoid it as we'll all be exposed at some point. Cat's out the mf`ing bag. Hand sanitizers and face masks wont help. No need to live in fear, it wont help.

But if we're not living in fear, how can we vote for whichever candidate will pander most to it?!

Iran is getting hit hard. 23 members of the ruling class got it. One of them is dead. One number I read said that over 200 are dead. Over hundred thousand infected. They just let the inmates out of the jails. Just the one who have less then 5 yrs to serve.

This virus is worse than the flu, but it's not bad as SARS. Just where does it fall on the scale? I don't think we will know until next fall when they had a chance to crunch the numbers. And I don't think China will ever tell the truth on the numbers.

Theres concern that this will destablize the current regime. As if it isnt already.
