At your age, the danger will be far more that you'll pass it on to an elderly or immunocompromised person who'll have far more problems with it

@plungesponge very true

@plungesponge Also *sad* I'll have to stop drinking, because that messes with the immunity.

Good idea. People are still focused on the virus and not understanding yet that the hospitals are going to be overwhelmed in weeks, which means limited care for anything else over the next few months. If you need surgery, IV, scans, a basic hospital bed, you'll be in line behind thousands of coronavirus patients.

@plungesponge A friend of my aunt's had a surgery 5 days ago and he had to sleep on a bed in the hallway, because they said the hospital was filled up.

Shit. And it's barely even begun. We're going to see footage that is worse than what came out of China. Uncollected dead in hospitals, uncollected dead on the street.

@plungesponge The scariest part is that, so many that have mild symptoms are just spreading it around without knowing. That's why I'm scared. I'm more so scared for my parents than anything. They"re in their 50s and both working in the public sector.
