Are you tired of this virus?

Post Reply New Topic

People panic and the panic affects the rest of us. Most people are like sheep, they are part of a herd and follow a leader. If the authorities lead the herd in the wrong direction the vast majority of sheep will follow. [It is like the video game Lemmings being lead off the cliff.] Much of what has been said about this virus by the authorities is erroneous.

Therefore I take my own path. I decide what is real and what is not. I make my own decisions. I protect myself. At the same time I stretch the limits of following protocol. I try not to let the lockdown control me. Throughout, I have visited stores, restaurants, everything just like normal. I take protective measure such as wearing an N95 facemark and carrying around a small bottle of hand sanitizer. Like eating at restaurants that offer outdoor seating. Those are small inconveniences. I let the best that science has to offer lead me in my decisions. Not the self appointed experts but the science. This week the movie theaters are opening up and I plan to go and watch all the movies I have missed. It will be like a marathon.

Oh man, I need to go replay Lemmings.

Tired of people not wearing masks and spreading it.

They might be exempt, lots of autistic people are.

Tbh if this virus had the opposite effects & was dangerous only if you weren't in a crowd, I'd be using excuses to break 'lock in' or 'crowd up' or whatever it was called...

I love being at home. I love not being in crowds. I love people having to keep away from me when I go out in public.

I also love being at home and avoiding crowds.
The people I saw were locals from here and I don’t think they are on the Autism spectrum, more like the spectrum of stupid.

This is why I panic when people say that they won't find a successful vaccine or that everyone will have to have the vaccine once and then be immune to the vaccine. I'm so scared that it will mean nobody can live their lives properly ever again and people who do go out get shamed.

I don't see why this COVID should change the world for good though. There's been even deadlier contagious diseases in the past but obviously those didn't cause permanent social restrictions to this day. Even my elderly grandparents have never known a virus to cause this much disruption to society, and they've been alive since the 1930s.

Yes..........................................................

Yes..........................................................

this especially. at my job, it's frustrating that i can't just tell people to put on a damn mask, or refuse to help them if their face is naked. i have to call in a superior (sigh!)
oh well. it's a rare occurrence anyway.

having a hard time accepting that being autistic is an acceptable excuse for going out in public areas and spreading the sick. if that's the case, you should probbaly....stay home

or maybe you live alone. what a tough issue

if anything i'm tired of the library being closed.

and of politicization. and living in the only country besides maybe brazil that has politicized it to such an extent

the virus has one positive utility- it revealed who many of the utterly sociopathic types are, IOW many of those who refuse to wear masks around other people. it did the rest of us a favor in this respect by making these types out-themselves.

Yep, I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of having to wear a tyvek suit and full ppe when I go to cardiac arrests.

I'm tired of constantly having breakouts of spots and sores on my face from wearing an FFP3 (N95) at all the other calls.

Those saying that it's not that serious, that it's being overblown. You. Are. Wrong.

This is a completely novel virus. So people's immune systems aren't primed to recognise it. So there is NO WAY to predict who will be in the 20% who require hospitalisation, who will die, or who will be left with life changing and/or limiting health problems because of it. I know personally people who have caught it, and ended up seriously ill though not in any of the at risk groups. Healthy folk, not overweight, fit.

Please folks, follow the guidelines, social distance, sanitise your hands frequently and wear a mask if you can't keep your distance.

Of course it will pass. Either a decent vaccine will arrive, or like other viruses it may mutate to be less fatal. Both take time though. So in the meantime please don't get sucked in by conspiracy nonsense or complacency.

I honestly know what I'm talking about, I'm one of the people in the frontlines.

Wear a mask and save your Granny.

I'm not saying no healthy fit person under the age of 65 are COVID-resistant, but healthy fit people under 65 can also get cancer and other deadly diseases too. Yes I know you can't catch cancer like you can COVID, but you're just unlucky if you do get ill from anything when you're fit and healthy (well, anybody is unlucky who gets ill, but when you're fit and healthy you don't so much expect to get ill). Most people under 60 or 65 have less chance of getting ill or dying from COVID.

I had a flu last March. I caught it off my boyfriend, who has COPD and is overweight and rather unhealthy - but I got it worse than he did, and I'm younger, healthy, average weight and have no physical health problems. I had breathing issues and thought I was going to have to go to hospital. I also had a very high temperature and fever, and it hurt to move my body. Very ill.
Apparently that same kind of flu went around and a lot of people fell ill from it, even those who had flu jabs. A lot of elderly people died from it in the care homes.

So flu can be deadly too, and a flu jab doesn't actually make people protected from every flu out there, as there are several types of flu.

yes,i'm tired of this pandemic

I'm more tired of American idiots who are making this pandemic worse.

I heard of corona parties, another version of having a chicken pox party, except in this case, it is to prove this whole thing is a hoax and nothing serious. Well, at least there will be less stupid people in the world even though I wouldn't wish death on anyone.

Very tired... but understand, it's just beginning
