    Was talking to moms and dads last night.
    They both reassured me that our whole family has resistance to the Coronavirus.

    Somehow I already knew this, but it was nice though to hear it from both them to corroborate my suspicions.

    My mom just called me for 41mins ranting about the lines at costco :p
    Apparently someone heard her arguing with employee and gave her 6 toilet rolls outside the shop. :)
    Haha, would have loved to see mom ranting and raving :p

    I can't stand it when my mom rant and raves.

    I always have to calm her down, chill, be cool, it'll be ok, take it easy.... then she gives me this Pisces Pout.

    I'm glad she's not ranting about viruses

    Oh nonsense. She doesn't bully anyone.
    My feelings weren't hurt by her calling me an idiot and I've never seen her do worse. Anyone who feels bullied by that.. Well. That's just silly.

    Two days ago France reported that over half of its people in intensive care are UNDER 60.

    More than half of coronavirus cases in France under intensive care are below the age of 60

    I think something weird is happening to me.
    I've noticed this plague is making a lot of people more negative towards mankind. But it's making me more positive?
    These are new feelings. I find it all very confusing.
    Overall I've noticed (maybe I'm even choosing to focus on them) the helpers more than the scavengers.
    And I think most people are helpers. And I feel oddly optimistic that it will all be ok if we lean into each other

    What. Is. Happening. To. Me

    Really. What is the point if we don't?
    If we love anyone we should love everyone.
    A universal basic income of love.
    At least the lowest level of love a person needs to feel there's a point to life.
    Given to each other by each other.

    It started with a 38 year old.

     
  11. You've never seen her say anything worse than calling someone an idiot? Yeah ok then, better get to Specsavers mate:laughing: encouraging someone to kill themself is the mark of a good poster I guess.
    Telling someone else to play in traffic is fine.
    Different opinion then you're a stupid narcissistic fucking ****.
    Cuntbiscuit when she runs out of normal insults.
    That's ok though you keep fighting the good fight.:wink:

    That’s easy you’re experiencing The Ebenezer Scrooge Effect.

    "France's health agency said of the 91 people who have died, 71 were older than 75. For most people, the virus causes mild to moderate symptoms."

    Over half of France's 300 coronavirus ICU patients under age 60


    "Salomon did not give a detailed breakdown of the intensive-care figures, so it's unclear how many are significantly younger than 60."

    'Salomon told a news conference on Monday that the country was struggling to contain the spread of the virus, Reuters reported.

    He said that despite the government’s recommendations, many people were still venturing outside to public places."

    "On Monday, Salomon told the radio station France Inter that “a lot of people have not understood that they need to stay at home, and this low level at which people have adhered means that we are not succeeding in curbing the outbreak of the epidemic,” Reuters reported."


    In France, more than half of coronavirus patients in intensive care are under 60, suggesting it's not just the elderly at risk

    ------------

    I hope he is not just saying that to scare younger people into staying at home. That seems to be quite the anomaly, depending of course on how loose he is with the definition of ICU


    France as of today 6633 cases, 148 deaths
