I'll admit that I thought the same at first. All it takes is a little research to see how serious it is. Years of telling people not to listen to science is at the root of it. When you have to argue about the earth being round with a portion of the population, you know you have a problem. This "flu' is bad because you are most contagious before you even know you have symptoms, it is very contagious and it's a kills people. It's a bad combination. It's not like the experts are asking us to burn our fields or go to war. Stay home and watch netflix, don't make unnecessary trips, keep 6 feet away from people. How fucking hard is that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we don't have a vaccine for this flu and our medical facilities aren't equipped to handle what they are about to get. That makes it worse than the common flu in my eyes. Agree to disagree Vaccines besides stopping people from getting ill often reduce severity of those who do. They work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gullible morons who were buying in to a MSM created panic. Edited March 23, 2020 by frenchy 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We/I will have to go out within a couple days to grab some things but I am not too worried about it. Just going to have to see/read first what is all required of me, if anything, to put on before going? I'm sure when I get home, if she doesn't go with me, I will be told repeatedly to wash my hands and maybe even take a full shower. I know my son is also getting a bit tired of hearing her so I am hoping we get some better, more positive news soon rather than later. Yup, gets a little tiresome. I finally went out in yard to work and get some peace & quiet. She means well, it just her nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortness of breath, couldn’t sleep flat for 2 weeks, weak, covered head cold, fever. It took almost 3 weeks. I have the thought now it could have been the Coronavirus.

What was that post about avoiding Subways? Does Manitoba even have a Subway? I can just imagine you yelling at people in bumfuck nowhere to keep away from the subways. What a fucking loon.
