Corona not so serious according to my boyfriend, any thoughts?

My boyfriend is offended I don't wanna join a party he's planning in a house in a city located 1 and half hour trainride away from my town. I'm scared because of the corona virus... I told him and he said I should not exaggerate. Any thoughts?

He's being silly. Stand your ground.

Yes. Your boyfriend is an idiot. Stay away from him before you catch the virus. His cavalier attitude is putting you in harms way.

1: yep its people like him that keep spreading the damn thing.

2: does he live with you? Cause in that case by going his putting you in danger so you got to do something about that

@celine211 No, he lives in that another city
celine211 · 22-25, F
@PhoebeJulia774 good stay far from him.

Time to find a new boyfriend. If he is less concerned about your health and safety than about having fun he is either stupid or he just thinks you're worthless

I'm not a fan of social distancing but a party right now is not a smart idea.

Imagine no one that is going to the party has the virus on the day of the party, and one just one person stops on the way and buys some beer and pays cash, in the change one coin has the virus on it.
He now has the virus on his hand and the warmth causes it to multiply, it's on his steering wheel and now both hands,handbrake lever, gearshift, door latch, when he arrives at the party he shakes hands with his mates and hugs a few others, by the time the party is over everyone except you is infacted.
Because you didn't go and you told him to stay away for two weeks after the party.
We have cancelled all our weekly get togethers and 6 parties for the rest of the year.

@Johnblackthorn Yes, thank you, those are exactly my thoughts. I've been so cautious for the past weeks, working from home, washing hands after I come back from supermarket and only skyping with poeple (even though I miss my friends and colleagues so much...) And now I should get infected and sick and maybe pass it to some older poeple or someone with an immune illness, only so that Mr. Know-it-all won't be offended... yeah, right..

While the obvious, getting sick sucks is a major motivator to do as we have been asked (self isolate). How horrible it would be to pass this onto someone else. Those are very valid reasons to stay put!

Sounds like he is being reckless. Anyone who attends would be reckless too. Why would you want to expose yourself to those risks.
PhoebeJulia774 · 26-30, F
@TrunkZ I don't want to, I refused to come and he got offended.
TrunkZ · 56-60, M
@PhoebeJulia774 Hopefully he will get over it. Besides, shouldn't he respect your wishes?
Don’t go. Simple. If he cares for you he’ll understand

Stay where you are, if he wants to be stupid let him. Stay Safe 🤗

Some people still think it just a flu,if lucky caught one with young age and strong immune they can beat virus.But the WHO data show people under 50 make up a significant proportion of patients requiring hospitalisation and unlike flu the coronavirus virus can cause permanent damage to respiratory system for rest of life.

Hes obviously not a "keeper" , is he?
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
Is he literate?

Peer pressure could kill someone. Not necessarily you, or him, or anyone at the party, but one person who gets mildly infected can pass it to hundreds through social contacts and any of them can be less resilient...not just the old.

He’s in denial
James1956 · 61-69, M
I would not go
assemblingaknob · 26-30, F
He forgot to refresh his YouTube feed I think.
Cuz march updates all show the death toll rising. It's more dangerous and contagious than we THOUGHT it was in February.

You're wise. If he's insistent on attending, tell him to self-isolate for 2 weeks before returning to your side!!

Go with your first instinct. If he has a problem then that's on him.
Your bf is full of shit.
