No it isn’t.

Happy to. Don’t give a shit about public health anymore. I’d like to live before I die (which you people like to say is going to happen anyway). I was good. I played along. Now a month is over and I’m done with it.

People always die.

Me, I’ve actively *chosen* to think the opposite of this because I hate quarantine and distancing and want to live my life instead of all of this.

So how does this square with ‘not forever’ in your comment above?

Two years is forever. I’d rather be dead.

Nope. Everyone in this entire thread is saying 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, forever. ALL of those are too long. And none of it is helping anyway. People are still dying. I want to end right now.

I want the world to be turned back on right now.

I’m not. I’m not coping. I am angrier every day and I’m not going to get better. I’ve about about 3 days left. Then I will commit suicide. I was counseled out of it before. But this time I’m not going to bother.

Why should we be putting off ANYTHING? We’ve all be social isolating and NOTHING IS GETTING BETTER. This was all for nothing. Turns out it was a false choice all along: Thousands of people are going to die AND we’ll have wrecked the economy.

I did. Twice a week for two years. Don’t you like the new me?

Data scientist isn’t a real job. At a minimum, we should refer to them as ‘spreadsheet starers’. That’s about what they do.

Die.

Or we could just decide that it’s better to live before we die. Death of Ivan Ilych and all that.

It’s a false choice: We’re going to lose hundreds of thousands of lives AND destroy the economy. Nothing about shutting down the economy has helped stop this.

The social distancing is to protect the hospital system.

Counseling doesn’t work. Don’t want to make a phone call. I want this over, right now, one way or another.

But ‘the virus is everywhere’ says the article, so why does it matter?

The ‘advice’ doesn’t help. Nothing is getting better anywhere. We all isolated and . . . nothing happened. People keep dying. How about we live before we die?

Urban healthcare facilities are overwhelmed too. Why should you get to escape this?
