    Meh, you can expect a lot of people, both in real life and on the interwebs to go loopy over the next 30 days

    I mean can you believe all this shit? The world has gone bonkers

    Hiding your head in the sand isn't going to make the problem go away

    In a kind of perverse way, the ones who seem to be taking it the most "seriously" seem to be enjoying it the most. You get the feeling a whole bunch of people are so bored by the monotony of their boring lives that actually they love this excitement. But they won't admit that even to themselves.

    Keeping your head out the sand won't, either.

    Well that all depends on whether or not you're getting fed the truth. So take 14 aways and let's see. :)

    I've noticed that too but I predict the novelty will wear off...quickly. At least in the states. People here have short attention spans and don't like protracted problems, the ones they can't ignore that is. The inconvenience will get old fast as well.

    But in the meantime they will make it worse by excited panicking.

    You do have to admit, the corona panic is a pretty good diversion to what's happening in the world. I know I wouldn't know what else is going on because this is all I hear about and it's not even bad right now. Still more people dying from the common flu so I have to ask myself, what are we missing here?

    Exactly.
    Usually I don't like to get on the whole "people are idiots" train..
    But today I'm really fed up with all of us.

    Perhaps

    But I think the defective corona vaccines will open the floodgates for anti-vaccination conspiracy theories
     
  17. You really need to stop treating it as a joke. It's very real.

    This is why it was a good decision this year to postpone the Boston Marathon

    When you run past Wellesley College you get a high-five from every female student.

    You need to stop telling everyone else how to act and how to post and how to treat things.

    Thank fuck for the Irminsuls of this world. Even when I disagree with her, I enjoy her attitude.
