I’m sorry but no. I dealt with infertility for over a decade and eventually had success with IVF, so believe me, I know this struggle inside and out. We were getting ready to do IVF again right when the pandemic hit, and now those plans are on hold. That said: we have significant community spread across the country. I…
Seriously. I just fucking can’t with the general concept of thinking now is a good time to get pregnant or bring a child into the world, or thinking it’s ok to tie up medical resources in what is - sorry - an entirely elective procedure.
Having kids in general shouldn’t be a thing everyone does IMO. Even if biology is screaming at you, you are affecting the world. You are bringing in one more person for us all to support when most people barely can support themselves. You are harming the environment more than any other decision you could make, CO2…
This. The level of entitled whining in this article is, frankly, sicking.
And if you are part of a heterosexual fertile couple you’d be pretty bloody stupid to have a baby right now (not including the already pregnant, obviously).
Yeah, I can’t really get up the energy to be outraged about this when Planned Parenthood is being decimated and access to birth control and abortion are being absolutely fucking NUKED. Yeah, it sucks, and yeah, we’re all in this together, but your desire to have a baby does not trump somebody’s need for an abortion.…
In both cases, abortion and fertility treatments, a woman wants to make a choice about her future.
Yeah, sorry, cry me a river but your fertility treatments are not a right, having children is not a right (unless you can naturally conceive them), and yeah it sucks if as a result of the pandemic some people might miss their window for fertility treatments but right now the focus is on postponing all non-emergency…
I’m sorry, but no, you are not being singled out. If you’re not part of a heterosexual, fertile couple you can’t have a kid right now. That’s just biology. I’m single and turning 30 soon. I’d love a baby, but I have no way to have one. I’m not glaring at married, fertile, heterosexual people like “omg how dare…
Along these lines, I’ve been seeing people walking around with gloves on. I assume they think this is somehow protecting them. But then they’re touching their glasses, keys, door knobs, etc. Basically everything they’d be touching without the gloves. But, because they have gloves on, I assume they think they’re…
Nobody wants to get sick and nobody wants to die. If a given Instacart worker is especially scared of getting sick and dying of a communicable disease, a job where they’re forced to interact with the public all day is a terrible choice in jobs.
It seems pretty dumb to “strike” from your unskilled, non-union job when there are millions of people suddenly out of work, or with infinity extra hours in their day to kill.
The owner of a large grocery chain sent out an email yesterday telling people to basically stop treating grocery shopping like a social outing because its putting people at risk.
Quarantined in the garage apparently
Yes! Where is the fucking logic!
A respiratory illness can be passed through smear, but last I read they weren’t sure about this one
It’s also a really bad idea to wash fruits and veggies with soap, as ingesting soap can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
The worst part about this whole thing (after preventable deaths) is the constant evidence of how ill informed and illogical people are. This is Germs 101.
THIS. Thank you! These messages from the public that “young people” are super affected are so...ODD.
“Young” people ages 20 to FIFTY FOUR or SIXTY FOUR? ...anything over 40 isn’t “young,” folks. You’re not “old” in your forties, but you’re certainly not “young.” Including anyone in their fifties and even SIXTIES in a…
