Coronavirus

[TheTainted_Wisdom]

I wish I could just smack these people who don't practice this social distancing at your store - and those people that still make fun of the situation/don't seem to care - with a frying pan, it's those people that all of us have to suffer under unfortunately.

Jesting in the face of, or apathy towards, the situation doesn't bother me at all as long as it's not paired with irresponsible or outright dangerous behavior/policies, or makes light of the dead, dying, and/or impoverished.

The worst are the people talking about sacrificing people's lives and safety for the sake of the economy, as though a massive influx of patients to an already buckling US healthcare system and an increase in deaths would not make the economic situation just as bad at best.

Though the most dangerous threat right now is the abandonment of science and common sense. Claims that 5G causes the virus, that the virus is a conspiratorial hoax, comparing the mandatory masks, quarantines, and lockdowns to Nazi Germany, etc. all this bullshit to try to get the US government to lift the restrictions before things are even close to being safe and getting people to disregard WHO and CDC information is going to lead to more and more people not being careful, and the already bad situation getting much worse.
