Sofa King We Todd Did User ID: 77907828 United States 01/26/2020 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got H1N1 in 2009. It dragged on for months, turned into pneumonia. I felt horrible but months later I still felt sore and drained. Quoting: Ricky Retardo I have a gene that can cause a range of auto immune arthritis and the flu basically activated it. I have ankylosing spondylitis now. Although I didn't die from this flu it changed my life forever. I am on low dose chemo and pray I don't catch this new bug, it will likely kill me. So I do have fear but it I think it is helpful to have a little fear, it teaches caution. but kudos for a positive thread. Now back to wuhu doom. So you’re saying even if we catch Coronavirus and survive it, doesn’t mean we will go back to normal. A lot of survivors will have disabilities and ruined lives financially too. unfortunately anything is possible. |

Life can really kick you in the behind but it seems you keep on ticking. Good on you. I agree that a little fear is healthy, not being paralyzed by it. Puffing up and declaring your infallibility isn't going to help though. In this life you have to be ready to roll with the punches. That means having your eyes open, not head up ass. Hey, also I love your name! :D Thank you:) |

User ID: 74827762 United States 01/26/2020 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I get it, and that's awesome. But let us not hide our heads completely up our asses either. The Spanish Flu claimed ONE THIRD of the population. That's 50 Million. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75733009 Sure, we are here and we are alive. But many suffered and died in that pandemic and it's ignorant to think it can never happen again. Beyond that, the current social, economic and political synergy of the world will be affected to at least some degree if the outbreak gets bad enough. Look at the way the Coronavirus has affected all the anti-PRC-China demonstrations that were going on in Hong Kong. Check off the Political box. A lot of the world's retail supply line is linked to China. One person claimed an Amazon order he placed had been cancelled due to the product coming from an area in China hit hard by the virus. Check off the Economic box. If a fatal illness becomes closely identified with Asia and Chinese people, they'll gradually be treated like Typhoid Marys. Check off the Cultural box. People and countries, however, are willful and resourceful. Look at London during the bombings by Nazis in the 1940s. Look at Tokyo after its mass devastation during WWII. But it did take those places awhile to fully recover. . |

The opposite, I tried to make you step back and look at the facts: - Where is all this information coming from? - How reliable are those sources? How about the fact that we all die some day, especially those of us over 60 or even older? For us, elderly it looks a lot better to go from good health to death within a few days than some slowly damaging illness with long suffering and hefty healthcare bills involved, isn't it?

User ID: 78136695 01/26/2020 11:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s not about fear. It’s about paying attention and being ready if something happens. If this blows up, most of us in the states will be ata greater risk from the chaos than an actual virus. Pretend you can think stuff away if you want...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 36998503 United States 01/26/2020 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you could mix all the most deadly viruses in a mix and spray all over me and I would walk away laughing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 662991 that is how confident I am. diseases don't exist. it's only the subconscious manifesting forceful changes in your body for a higher purpose that you don't understand, but you should; hence the signal/alert taking over your body. |

It was a lot like regular flu but my lungs felt like on fire. I would just take some ibuprofen and game while the fever subsided, then lay down, haha. It did not want to go away for a while. After I had no more fever my lungs and throat were still super painful for at least a month. At least I could play CoD MW2 during that time |

They are getting scared shitless and try to cope with dumb shit like this thread. They will be the first crying on camera and plopping over dead in the streets. But it’s no loss. People like OP need to be culled. They are worthless. Always thinking the government will save them with our money. |
