I got a sudden severe panic last night, worrying about my parents. I stayed up until nearly 9AM and got like 2 hours of sleep. They're cautious as they should be, but not mortified like I am. It just hit me out of the blue last night. I can't take this shit for 3-6 months every moment of every day. Worrying about your parents is the worse feeling in the world. Good God...

You eat rodents over there, you fucking clown. Rodents that carry diseases. You eat them alive, and your negligence and carelessness are putting loved ones from all over the world in danger of dying. MOST people are probably going to get this virus and it is entirely your doing over there. Yours, and nobody elses.

My mom is 58 and my dad is 60. They quit smoking many years ago, but my Mom is diabetic. I am especially scared for her.Tiggnutz wrote:My parents are 70 and heavy heavy smokers I have not stopped worrying this is scary stuffJason wrote:I got a sudden severe panic last night, worrying about my parents.

this will only lead to more trump bashing from everyone else and to you telling them they are all wrong for using the virus for political purposes, again. yay.Jason wrote:Zhao Lijian said it.

Re: Random Political Comments
I’m saying if that’s a line it isn’t one the UK otcSweden have given any credence to or stated in news media I follow so I have no awareness of it. China blaming the US is absurd if they mean that the US is the reason for the outbreak in China.zombie wrote:so you're saying that the united states media is telling us falsely that china is blaming us for the outbreak?showa58taro wrote:Literally never heard anything to that effect.

The US is absurd if it calls this the Chinese Virus or whatever as it is a global threat likely made worse by each country’s failure to use the time bought us by China’s strong and authoritarian response to the virus outbreak which was not matched by our own.

The system probably dies in fairness. But in Italy individual doctors and nurses are having to select individuals likely to survive.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:It's already like that here.
