Support NeoGAF

[Elektro Demon]

So. The stats and shit. I saw all that. The thing is, I still think it's just a god damn flu. If you're younger then 60, you have more then 90% chance of survival.
The lockdown has also come to my country, and people going to the shops and over buying, practially fighting like some animals. This is very sad. I saw my friends panic and go into hiding mode in their house.
I was shocked to learn that a lot of people I knew are such cowards. What's so wrong with having a 5% chance of dying? It's not even 5% percent but let's say it's 20%. So what? Why are people such cowards?
Are you so terrified of dying that you're willing to live like an indoor cuck? I personally am not gonna respect any of these imposed rules. Can't go for a fucking walk? If I see a cop on the street telling me I need to go home, Imma have a fierce discussion with that cop.
And I've seen the panicking on GAF as well. What is wrong with you people? Why the hell are you so afraid of a flu? If you're meant to die, so be it.

 

[I_D]

If I see a cop on the street telling me I need to go home, things are gonna get violent. And I ain't kidding.

Lol.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Lol.

We're gonna have a FIERCE DISCUSSION!

Coronatards versus Flu Bros

This thread is going to be so good.

 

[oatmeal]

Just make sure you saw all the stats first.

 

[Starfield]

I'm glad Doom Eternal is releasing tomorrow. I'll rip and tear those fucking electro demons away!

 

[Elektro Demon]

Just make sure you saw all the stats first.

I did see them. They're laughable.

 

[oatmeal]

I did see them. They're laughable.

Alright dope. Just making sure.

People like you dying to it is natural selection. The shit part is that you take people down with you.

 

[AlteredForms]

I would choose temporary isolation over a small chance of dying any day of the week.

 

[Elektro Demon]

People like you dying to it is natural selection. The shit part is that you take people down with you.

But that's the problem. Soyboys and cucks staying at home are the ones that natural selection should take care of and not me. But if mother nature decides to take me under, I embrace it fully.

 

[TaySan]

Corona is something that should be taken seriously especially if you have older relatives living with you.

Those cant die because they have never been alive.

 

[Punished Miku]

If you're old, stay home. This is absurd and is crashing the economy. Its like if the government closed all bars when AIDS was discovered so no one could meet and have drinks before casual sex.

They should just close gay bars.

Brutal lol.

 

[ChuyMasta]

Ok youngsters. Dont get close to anyone then. Keep your distance.

Imagine not wanting to die

Oh it’s not intentional

IKR? Insanity.
Seriously, I'm guessing you're not old, so why the fear?

 

[TheSadRanger]

I will say that as a sports fan. This no sports shit fucking sucks.

Anyone watching the news will be afraid. It's just straight fear, 24/7 every day. The trick is to study how the media works and see through it.

This reminds me of Y2K, every blizzard on the east coast ever, Africanized killer bee invasion, and other doomsday scenarios the media has sold the public.

Don't get me wrong, there's clearly risk for certain people and those people should take precautions. But the reaction is grade A bananas. I'm half expecting them to blow up the white house to sterilize it if anyone tests positive.

This is so true.
I stopped watching news yesterday. I can't even open any news site without being bombarded with corona, corona, corona, corona. Jesus christ, that isn't normal.

I can't tell if this is a bait thread or not.

 

[Elektro Demon]

I can't tell if this is a bait thread or not.

No it's not. I'm 100% flu bro.

I would choose temporary isolation over a small chance of dying any day of the week.

But you're gonna murder the economy with this temporary isolation.

I walked into a supermarket today and openly paid people to cough directly into my mouth

I ain't no bitch

 

[M1chl]

I hope you fucking trolling. And I very fucking nearly died last year around this time, I pulled through so I ain't no bitch.

Read this shit:
'Patient 31' and South Korea's sudden spike in coronavirus cases'

‘Patient 31’ and South Korea’s sudden spike in coronavirus cases

A ‘super-spreader’ from a reclusive church has caused anger, divided public opinion and spurred conspiracy theories.

I'm not sure if this is a troll/sarcasm thread but anyway... Shit is real and scary. Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins claims the infected is more like 500k just in the US and with exponential growth that number should end up in the tens of millions by end of May. Death rate is around 2%, but this doesn't account for hospitals being overrun by not flattening the bell curve of infections, which puts us at about 5% or more. This stuff spreads in the air from just breathing. About 20% of those infected hit a stage 3 of the virus. That stage 3 can cause permanent scarring of the lungs, this is lifelong issues for those that get it. Also, it can get in your nervous system and put you in a coma and flat out just kill you.

A friend's dad is now dying from liver and kidney failure.
He has been given 3 months to live, and the hospital gave the family a choice to either move him to a hospice or take him home. They told the family that if he stays at the hospital he will likely contract the virus.


It Ain't That Serious

 

[StormCell]

Meh. I'm still going fishing tomorrow.

I agree with taking all the logical precautions. Practice social distancing. Stop shaking hands with anyone. Wash your hands often. You shouldn't be touching your eyes or putting your hands in your mouth. Shouldn't need to even say that last one. If you have older relatives, keep your distance from them to keep them safe.

Cities going into lockdown is plain ridiculous. It shouldn't need to happen if people could be relied on to take precautions.

Well, so far it's ADVISED that everyone stays in isolation, it's not yet mandated by the state. I don't plan on spreading anything, I have my rituals before going to bed, and one of those rituals happen to be going for a nice walk. How does that make me a spreader? I ain't caughing in anyone's face or anything, I'm taking a god damn walk.
And if I drive around on my motorcycle, how exactly am I spreading corona? I don't go around coughing shit from my helmet?
And I'm glad you pulled through, brother.

Imagine thinking rolling the dice with a 10% chance of dying is nbd

Do you have a surgical mask? Because then you should be free to go to a walk. It's mandated in here since today (yesterday). I feel your pain, I am basically year on lockdown.

Anyway I more or less comented about that people don't take a chance of getting out living like normal and shit like that, which kind of stems from your post. It's not a flu tho, it's more like a Pneumonia. And that is shit, I have it once and please no more.

And viruses are shit for people with 2 different DNAs, like I have. My liver is different DNA and I have a chance of that virus bonding onto my new liver and that's where my immune system cannot do shit. And that will basially force me to yet another challenging surgery, because that shit would constantly infecting me over and over again. I have to be careful.

Alright Elektro Demon. Let’s see who you really are under that mask.

 

[MastAndo]

I don't think most young adults, or reasonably healthy middle-aged person are living in constant fear of their own impending death and won't step foot outside because of it. I think they're fearing a situation where they're infected and CAN'T leave their homes or worse yet, they have it and don't know it and end up infecting loved ones, particularly older relatives who might not fare as well against this virus. At least that's where my head is at - I have to head into work tomorrow and it's all good, but I'm steering clear of my friends and family for a while in case I got some incubated version of the thing, since I've been on trains and in crowded offices as recently as late last week.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I'm leaving all my assets to Antoon if the virus takes me. Find him and tell “it happened,” he will understand

Alright Elektro Demon. Let’s see who you really are under that mask.

I LOL’d

and he woulda gotten away with it too, if it werent for you damn kids!

I don't have a mask, it's not required yet. Driving on a bike is done with a helmet, so yeah.
I could get one for walks, that's not a bad idea. It's a precaution. I personally think this is so hyped by the media to the point of insanity.
I've seen the stats. But alright, I respect your opinion. I have a different one. Plus I have that hot slav blood. We slavs are sociable people, you can't get away from that.

if fire emblem has taught me anything, I‘m very good at dying from low percentages

Elektro Demon it’s not about protecting yourself from dying, it’s about protecting those weaker than you

 

[Punished Miku]

Elektro Demon it’s not about protecting yourself from dying, it’s about protecting those weaker than you

For how long? It's in the air. Do we shut down all of society every flu season? Is this for a year until they make the first vaccine? Is this for 2 weeks?

Eventually, people will have to start choosing freedom over security. The government is mandating businesses shut down. It's basically right up to the border of martial law, and people don't even seem to mind, because they're so driven by fear. There is a choice other than fear, and it's also valid, and people will be talking about that choice at some point.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Elektro Demon it’s not about protecting yourself from dying, it’s about protecting those weaker than you

But the thing is, projections say that 70% of the world population will get the virus at some point. So why are we trying to avoid something that is inevitable and in the process we're butchering the economy?



And also -Arcadia- I fucking died at that post.

I tend to disagree, in here it's pretty different, aside from pubs obviously, but we are also very cold in the inside and really if you want so see "sociable people" you might find them in Latin places and USA. I have an experience that brought me a lot anxiety in the US, because people somewhat talk too much there. I was being told "smile", "ohh you are tall" out of the blue for some reason and I am like "what the fuck, who cares". "Ohh you have sexy accent", oh yes that one which I hate having. It's strange fucking place, at least California, San Diego. I was visiting my "friend" who is pretty prominent in porn industry and walk with her, was pure hell for me. And basically same with my GF in NY, catcalling ans shit like that, she does not even speak English fluently, she can speak German really well. And shit like that, OT I know, I just wanted to say it. Slavs are very different.

And no I am not going to reveal her name, because you would not believe me. But in here, it's not that weird. 10m country while 3rd biggest producer of porn. And yes we fucked back in 2011-2012. This is probably where my alcohol problem stared. SHIT

might as well just donate it all to the anti tranny fund now

I don't think your alone in this mindset. I mentioned in another thread that I've noticed a lot of people on Facebook who are basically saying the same thing.

These are normie apolitical people too who normally don't get involved in left/right internet stuff.

Right now, we have to take make temporary sacrifices to stop the spread and flatten the curve.

There’s a lot of fantasy and extrapolation going on in what you wrote. There are temporary sacrifices that obviously are the right thing to do - this is a case where your principles need to take a backseat to the immediacy of the situation.
