So, yeah. Coronavirus is a thing.
And I can safely say that if I get it I’m killing myself right then and there. I’m not doing this to “die with dignity” or any of that shit, because as bad as this shit is, it’s not young healthy people like me who are at risk. It’s people who are older, people with weaker immune systems, or young children who really have it bad. And I don’t want to be the cause of someone’s parents, child, or grandparent getting this thing. And I especially don’t want my family to be exposed to this shit. I’d much rather die than have that happen.
So yeah, if I catch it, I’ll probably be found with a makeshift noose tied around my neck. I wonder if I can stealthily go out and buy some rope. Out of all the things that are flying off the shelves, I doubt rope is one of them. Unless thousands of people have the same idea as me. I just hope you can’t catch this disease off a corpse, or else they might have to leave me hanging for a while.
That said, I hope all of you stay safe out there. Don’t hug your friends or shake hands. Just give them a quick fistbump.

I worry about spreading it to others too, especially my dad, who has health problems. I’m not going to kill myself just to remove that possibility though (not least because of the added stress that would cause him.)
Chances are, most people will catch it. Containment has failed – it’s spreading in the general population. Anyone you could potentially infect is likely to get it anyway.
If you do develop symptoms, the best thing you can do is self-isolate for a couple of weeks. There are ways to do that even within a family home.
Tell that to my friend. His friend just got back from Disneyland and is going to my friends house this weekend. I told my friend he is crazy but apparently his mother is away somewheres to. I’m worried about him and theres nothing I can do.
I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s not ideal, but unless his friend is running a fever or is coughing a lot he’s not high risk. And I presume they’re both young, so even if they did catch it it’d probably be fine.
21 and something….I dont remember the friends age right off but its 20/21
As if the news isn’t becoming more surreal by the hour – Mt. Everest is now closed.
This is all just kooky.
Omg lol. I was like no way. But really!? How do you close a mountain? They actually closed it. (I’m stoned so that’s probably all over the place lol)
Please don’t kill yourself over something so trivial. There are much better reasons and creative methods than that. This virus kinda sucks, but I kinda want to catch it to build immunities to it. Oh well guess I’ll just have to hope for a vaccine. As for mount Everest closing… Wtf you can close a Mountain!?
I have no idea. Maybe a gate with a lock at the base of the mountain and a mean looking security guard sitting in a guard shack doing crosswords in between turning back climbers…maybe you stretch yellow “Do Not Enter” crime scene tape around the base… I don’t know. It’s bizarre. Maybe they’ll close the oceans and the sky next.
