This thread:
Expect to see many more as people are trying to figure out how to mourn without our traditional social mourning structures. And also as a reminder that itās not just the rich and famous, but also the humble, decent and good that are being taken away too soon.
After bringing peace to the Middle East this should be easy.
It is at least plausible that, despite his horrendous lack of qualification for the job, the decrepit state of Trumpās government is such that having Kushner run a cobbled-together coronavirus task force is the best available option right now.
???
Iāve been noticing that very few of the rich n famous who get it actually die.
But those are the ones you see in the news.
In Ecuador, they are burning the bodies of their loved ones in the streetā¦ This is the reality of now. Personally, I plan to stop the finger wagging as I am starting to feel like a petty child. I will wait untill the bodies are no longer piling up. I will now only think of what I can do to help, and leave the blaming and second guessing to other people and other times.
Not me. Maybe depends on what ānewsā outlets you check in on? Iām seeing a lot of stories like this one, in pretty mainstream places:
How? Didnāt you say earlier that you followed other wealthy people, by retreating to your well-stocked pied a terre? (Apologies if Iām mistaking you for another commenter.)
Iām not saying this isnāt happening but letās just say this is not very well substantiated.
As the death toll from the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 soars in the U.S. and statistical models predict more than 100,000 to come, conservative media personalities are pushing the ghoulish argument that the fatality statistics are āinflatedā because they count people who died with the disease but also had underlying conditions.

I just got it from my stepdad who is there. It is rather bleak. I asked if he read it or saw it. He answere he is currently āsmelling itā
How, what?
I think you will find that when that time comes, no one will remember all of the crimes, and all of our betters will tell us it is time to āmove forwardā, and forgive, and let bygones be bygones, until the next time, when it will once again be too soon until exactly the moment when it becomes too late.
All most of us can do right now is document the crimes, scream at the thieving businessmen, scream at the lying politicians, scream at the lying press, and make them afraid, because fear is all they understand, and only fear can make them behave nominally better.
I am only talking about myself. What I feel like now. Nothing more.
You wrote, āI will now only think of what I can do to helpā
Iām wondering how youāre going to help.
I donāt know yet. I am not medical, this one is harder to help with than the Hurricanes I have been involvolved with. The point is I am going to focus on trying to find a way to help. I am not preaching. I am sharing, and to be honest, I am not sharing altruistically, rather for personal cathardic reasons. The call I just had with Ecuador then contrasted with the sight of what I have been saying on this thread just affected me rather strongly.
A good reminder that too much time on this thread is definitely unhealthy, and I take lots of breaks, many of them in these forums:
And of course:
Stay sane everyone.
Thank you, was wondering where all the unicorn chasers went.
