Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion
-
I do not have the time to get into an intellectual discussion about the loss of liberty and the rise of tyranny. For fucks sake let''s leave that for another day. At the moment we are living through a crisis of unimaginable proportions. This disease is highly contagious, unpredictable and can lead to an awful death. One person I know who died from this, was laughing and joking one day, the next he was having panic attacks and trying to rip off his mask because in his oxygen-deprived state he thought that the thing that was actually supplying him the oxygen was the thing that was restricting his breathing, he was placed in a coma and put in ICU, he suffered a collapsed lung and bounced between 40 and 100% oxygen, every time the doctors tried to reduce his sedation, he started to panic. in the end, he was so physically (let alone mentally) damaged, they had to turn him off. I don't want to die like that, not do I want anyone else to. I don't know how far a sneeze or cough carries outside, I don't know how long the virus lingers on something that a person has touched after sneezing or coughing into their hand. I'm not going to take the risk and I am personally glad that our govt is trying to make sure that fewer of us die, by giving us guidelines. At the moment, I don't give a flying fuck about the loss of liberty or the rise of tyranny, I dont want to die like that.

My grandmother is currently dying alone with no one around to help her leave this world because she was exposed to someone who didn't think a worldwide pandemic was a big deal and infected her. This year has been a wake up call and clearly illustrated to me how selfish and stubborn humans are. At this point ten months into this nightmare I have zero patience for people peddling conspiracy theories and downplaying the risks of Covid.
Masks work, science is real.

I apologise @Giles and I agree. We need to do all we can. This should unite us. My thoughts are with you.

We've been hiking a lot and everyone on the trails puts their mask up when passing. It's like common courtesy even if you're "safe" for being 6 ft apart and outside. Who wants to take the risk?
