I'm quite upset, but mostly.... confused.

I live in one of the states that have been hit the hardest by the "virus thing" (I can't say its name I the mods will go after me, since an alternate, shadow TOS applies to me, and me only). There is a shelter in place order. Our government is telling us all the time on TV, radio and the internet to only go out if it's deemed 100% essential, and to avoid congregating in groups.

The view from my house is a little artificial lake surrounded by grass. It's public and quite pretty. Anyway, I went to my deck (located in the 2nd floor of my house) to relax a little bit and... I SEE THIS GROUP OF **********, PROBABLY 10 OR 12 OF THEM, having a fucking picnic in the patch of grass next to the lake thingy.

These fuckers were eating cheese, wine, potato chips, etc, having a grand jolly time. Excuse me?!?! Ex-fucking-cuse me? They were mostly aged 40 through late 50s too, this is not the case of a couple young kids thinking the "virus thing" won't affect them.

Please help me understand, this is bothering me so much. Why?!?! Why are people doing this sort of thing? They know they can get sick. They know people are dying, it's all over the news. They know they can make others get sick and die. They know there is a shelter in place order. It is impossible not to see the testimonials of health workers weeping on TV saying that so many people have died and that they have no protective equipment. So why the fuck are they doing this? What is going on through their minds?

Nothing but air

That's the problem. That and weak enforcement for the rules. We're having the same problem where I live. People were supposed to get on board with the quarantine shit 2 weeks ago but really just the end of this week we see a lot of people taking it seriously.

Same reason why people congregate at the beaches in my city during these times. They're ignorant about the lives that are at stake.

yes.
And what people don't get is that a full month of a properly enforced full "shelter in place" period is shorter than 6 fucking months of a half assed "we're supposed to shelter in place but we're going to take it as a vacation"...

I wish that were the case. But they're not. People are listening to what is at stake 24/7. I live in a wealthy area, these fuckers all have an education and have internet too.

So you do call it the Wuhan virus/flu, which isnt the name of the virus or the disease.

Maybe stop trolling and you wont be modded for trolling.

> Makes topic about people ignoring the shelter in home place and people dying
> gets trolled about whether he called the virus thingy the [REDACTED] or not , and has users post the term here anyway

You got some guile saying I am the one trolling.

Those people better be glad TC didn't tell us where he lives cause I would go beat the shit out of them

I would dive out of nowhere and tackle one of them like a lion taking down the gazelle that looks fastest first so that it can't escape

They would be running for shelter and I would be like "NOW YOU RUN! THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT COVID 19 WILL DO TO YOU!"

With lightning speed I would charge with lightning speed at the weakest looking one and hurl him or her one handed into the lake

Then I would turn my attention to the others and roar like a T Rex to make them freeze with terror before I charge up the bank like a herd of rhinoseruses and trample them

One guy would almost be indoors but I would grab him by the collar and swing him around like a helicopter and take off and go up to 500 feet high and slam him to the ground like in Superman Doomsday and they would all be defeated

They would never go outside in a pandemic again

I am truly shocked to find a user who likes to make things up about people and twist their words in order to rile them up making posts about how he's not allowed to do totally innocent things because the mean old mods go after him for no reason. Poor lil' fella. Definitely nothing suspect at all, you sad little victim.

They probably live together or are family and don't take the virus seriously

It bothers you because they are putting other people in danger
