Fuck you dude, I didn't do anything to get myself into a situation where I have a compromised immune system because I had cancer.
It sucks, but it's life. The only thing promised is our inevitable death. Stay inside and wash your hands. Good luck. Godspeed.

It
Is
Not
The
Flu

It's a different strain and it can fuck you up way worse than the flu does

Biologically correct. But like flu the only people at serious risk are old or have bad health.

Apparently 15% of all people face a very serious case of SARS2. IIRC about half of them urgently need hospitalization.
So if you're one of those 15% and the hospitals are all full (which they evidently will be!), you're shit out of luck.

Furthermore, apparently it can permanently damage your lungs and it currently is unknown how often it happens (other than that dead people have it).

It's the thought that counts!
So don't go any further than the thought.

If you were in Vegas and I gave you a chance to double your money but your odds are 15% are those good odds IYO?

are they going to pay you and are you allowed to spend the money?

because thats about the same odds of using that money you won as you surviving this if the hospitals are filled

So in other words those odds suck and you know good and well your chances to win at 15% are slim.

Only so much an average human can do though. It's like drunk driving - i can be sober but if someone else is drunk and smashes into me how was I supposed to do anything more ?

People gotta work to pay the bills. We can wash our hands and wear masks (that do nothing) all day but if you cant miss 2 weeks of work because that would mean missing a rent payment what do you expect half of America to do

Saw this just now on FB. Sure we all know about the NBA, but what's interesting to note is the celebrity status of those who've been tested. It's hard af for doctors to get testing for those clearly in need, but Tom Hanks for clearance for testing no problem. Whatever though, who the f am I?

Most people don't even realize China was suppressing and downplaying the information in the first place. This is what angers me the most about the societal response. Even on this board, you have people thinking "it's just the flu", "this is annoying", and wholly being duped into believing the government's words of "It's gonna be alright". Even worse, I posted the 4chan link in another topic of the guy who had legitimate insider information as evident by bringing up Italy's situation before it came into place. And guess what, got modded for spreading conspiracy theories.

Anyhow, one day at a time.
Same shit dude.

Same on Facebook too. The leaked videos I would share would often be considered false because the government would deny them. Like no shit

He had to have his lungs drained every couple hours, and due to all of the equipment down his throat keeping him breathing had to write a note telling his wife not to revive -when- his lungs collapse. Thankfully, they did not, and he is alive, but he very nearly was not, to the point that a priest in a full suit was giving him his last rites.
