Fear is why you people find yourselves where you are. Continue fearing things that you have no reason to fear and not respecting legit threats and you will get what you deserve. Unfortunately that will carry over to people who don't deserve it.
Come on man this isn’t some vast conspiracy. It’s a disease affecting lots of people and the literal least you could do, other than that what you are currently doing, is acknowledge and stop your weird crusade against those you think are out to get you
Conspiracy theorists believe wild ideas because they want to feel special and enlightened with some "forbidden truth". A minority opinion to set them apart from the masses of "sheeple" and make them feel educated. Only tangentially related to this thread, but related nonetheless. That's why I say we start a new conspiracy theory even crazier than those discussed here: There's no such thing as diseases, they were only "created" to get you to spend money on healthcare. Any perceived illness can be cured by eating out of your nearest garbage can, as that's where the government hides the "cure". Think about it: they put it in the one place you wouldn't think to look!
Please oh please catch on.....
Cancelling large gatherings where thousands of people from different cities would congregate seems like a common sense approach to me. If one sick person comes there and infects 50 people, those 50 people could go back home to 50 different cities and infect 50 people each. Those people would infect more people, so on and so forth. That’s how disease spreads. Will it kill you? Maybe, maybe not. It HAS killed perfectly healthy people. Could it kill my 88 year old grandfather and 87 year old grandmother? Yes. Could it kill those with weakened immune systems such as my son? Yes. Could it overwhelm doctors, mid-levels, and nurses so that they can’t provide the necessary treatment for everyday emergencies leading to unnecessary deaths? Yes. Don’t put other people at risk because you think the CDC, WHO, and media is out to get you. Don’t panic, but also don’t be an idíot.
Put the pipe down, bro.
Tom Hanks just tested positive for coronavirus so I’m about ready to throw hands with the next person who tells me it’s no big deal
I'll assume you're being sarcastic.
Just in case you're not, I'll let a publication or two defend the nomenclature.
Link to article in the New York Post.
Link to article in USA Today.
I'll quote one sentence from the opinion piece, "Finding excuses to hurl the racism charge over such minor issues as how to refer to a new disease cheapens the currency of a serious allegation."
Go, Dawgs!
The NBA just suspended the season because a player tested positive.
I’m about to LOSE IT.
Tom Hanks and his wife caught it in Australia...
Now we all have it.
Looks like the Democrats bought off Tom Hanks and the entire NBA. That is an impressive devotion to continuing this hoax.
This is scary. A retired Georgia native that doesn't travel or go anywhere caught it. He speaks out from quarantine...
Summertime ain't gonna make it any better either. Australia is in the middle of summer right now. Ugh.
Don’t fret, just shove your head in the sand and tell yourself that you’re smarter than everyone else!
In honesty, it’s about to ramp up in the U.S. Doesn’t get much bigger than the suspension of the second largest professional sports organization in the country.
