I have something to say

I don’t think that most people realize that behind the small data numbers that represent our most vulnerable populations, populations that this virus could very well be a death sentence for, are actual human beings, with lives and families of their own.

I continuously see headlines saying, that only a very small percentage of people may die, making it seem like this virus isn’t that big of a deal at all. As part of that percentage, I can assure you that it is a huge deal.
I haven’t left my house since March 23 unless it was for absolute necessities like food, I have refused to step foot in a hospital despite needing treatment, I have had to do all of it on my own, out of fear of getting this virus. Because I know, that if by any chance I do get it, it will kill me.

This virus has made us lose part of our humanity from my perspective, seeing people deliberately deciding to not wear a mask while having no real reason to excuse their behavior, is unbelievable. They don’t care about the small percentage of people who are affected, because to the general population, we are just a small number in a data set, we aren’t even people.
Sadly, there are too many who feel that way, but there are many more who do not feel that way.

A sad truth about a general population is that there are a lot of good people but it's the jerks and self-absorbed who get the attention and make the noise.

That doesn't help much in your situation, I realize.
Well that's because the little number doesn't look very big but if people looked a little better, the world population has reach over 780,000,000 people, just two people of the people who get this virus and die from it is 156,000,000 and that's only 2 percent. The world is over populated and pollution is horrible its a wonder that the world hasn't started fighting back before now. The people that don't care to get out and not take precautions to safe guard the health need to get sick. That might sound cruel but it's how I feel
