Daily I see people commenting and posting that we “shouldn’t be afraid, this “cold” only kills the sick and elderly.” “This is nature’s way of weeding out the weak links in our world so only the strongest survive,” or “I’ll actively spread it to as many people as possible if I get infected, people need to suck it up and become immune already. It’s no worse than the common cold.” Multiple people have also stated that this is a good thing, because it will rid countries of “costly” elders, disabled, and chronically ill people that don’t contribute to anything and are just a nuisance and burden. What the actual fuck is the matter with you people?! Who are you to make such statements and conspiracies, and degrade fellow human beings? How selfish can you possibly be? People could die from your actions, and defeating this is a joint effort. Assholes, like some of you unfortunately are, will indirectly be responsible for deaths, and it will take significantly longer for your country to get back on its feet. And fine, most people get mild cold-like symptoms or none at all. Some get what they themselves call “an extreme flu-like illness,” but they soldiered through it. But some die a horrible death, drowning in a hospital bed from their lungs filling up with fluids and their bodies shutting down. I don’t know about y’all, but there’s very few people I would wish that upon.
Sincerely, immunocompromised “healthy-looking” 22 year old.
