This is the new reality I guess. My wife is extremely scared despite trying to tell her that we are young and in no risk group. Even if we were to get it we have like 99,995 chance of being fine or something retarded like that.
My sister in law got covid and she thought she was dying, life flashing before her eyes stuff. She was asymptomatic.
I'm starting to think women are predispose to the fear-pandemic.
Now that my country is getting a second wave, I realized something recently: Thank fucking God my mom passed away last year before this all started. The coverage is absolutely wall to wall, 24/7 - I just checked the biggest local news site and they have FOURTEEN articles about Chinese Lung AIDS on the frontpage at the moment.
She wasn't in very good health in the years before she passed, she was obese for most of her life, and a few years ago she had a minor stroke that she mostly recovered from, but she wasn't always all there. She was afraid all the time of the tiniest things. She also always watched a lot of news, and her deteriorating mobility meant she spent a lot of time in front of the TV - I tried to take her outside as much as I could, but I was her only close family and there's only so much I could do with a day job.
This shit would drive her insane, guaranteed. I can only wonder in horror how many old people are in a similar situation, glued to the TV, hearing all day every day for half a goddamn year about the ongoing apocalypse with a 1% IFR.
I miss her of course, but she was going to be gone one day anyway, and I'm glad she didn't have to live her last days in this media hell. This is unprecedented psychological abuse, a war against reason.
My grandmother is in a similar boat as your mom would be in: obese, in her 90s, effectively zero mobility, and constantly afraid of becoming ill from something. The nursing home she's in doesn't allow visitors, and no doubt her health has deteriorated more from that than whatever risk she has of getting sick.
Someone wrote that this is the greatest crime against humanity this side of genocide or war crimes, and I agree. It's criminal what these people are doing, and it's made even worse that they'll never face justice for their crimes.

Women are predisposed to every fear on the planet. And to every non-fear.
If you want to change something, persuade women that it's bad for them. I'm willing to bet that you could abolish the female vote just by pretending (it's up for debate if it is pretending or true, though) that they lose out, because of it.
We are talking about the safest and most privileged demographic that has ever lived on this little space rock. And they are still demandig more protections. Not because they are threatened. But because they FEEL threatened.
Some dumbass boomer actually brags about how batshit insane she's acting due to Chinese Lung AIDS fear (original article archive here: https://archive.is/0lHBX); Ace provides commentary and some context.
Our dominant culture stopped reigning people in from mental illness, and started instead affirmatively training people to be mentally ill, and to in fact cultivate mental illness the way one might cultivate a wine connoisseurship or gourmet's palate -- cultivating aspects of insanity as a badge of cultural prestige.
A friend of mine (yes, a woman) has gone further and further off the deep end because of the media hysteria. She was slightly germaphobic to begin with. Now she can't leave her house without feeling like she needs to wash her hair afterwards. She fully admits it's irrational but she can't help it.
She's Asian (born and grew up in Asia Asian) and the media has convinced her that America is filled with racists just waiting for an opportunity to be racist. She's told me many times she's worried that somebody will be racist towards her. Even though she's lived in America for over 10 years and told me she's never experienced any racism in that time. The majority of that time has even been in the south. But still, it's something she worries about regularly.
Despite originally wanting to immigrate here, she's now not sure she wants to. Why? TDS. She thinks Trump, and the America that elected him, is a hateful place.
So good job media. You've managed to drive away a WOC after causing her sustained mental anguish with your BS.
Holy shit what a whack job and they have no right to talk shit about the dumb bleach shit Trump said cause this wackado takes it to a whole other level
If all this sounds overcautious, consider that almost 12,000 people have died in the state where I live;
You're in Florida, lady. And, in the 1.5 months since this article, the CDC says the number has gone up to gasp 15531 deaths. And that's still NEGLIGIBLE.
Florida has a population of around 22 MILLION. That means, for every 1000 people in Florida, 0.7 people have died. Yes, less than 1 person per thousand has died, and that's in Florida, which is home to a whole ton of old people who go there to sit in the sun all day.
"Oh no, a virus is running around that kills about 1 in 1500 people in my state. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!1!". You, that's you.
You'd think by now I would be desensitized to this crazy, yet every day there's either a new story of political corruption or normalization of mental illness that just blows my mind. I'm not sure I even want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes, because it already seems like I've gone so deep I'm about to come up on the other side of the world.

They knew in the fucking VICTORIAN times that women were uniquely predisposed to mass hysteria. There is shit tons of original documentation on it.
The word hysteria is derived from the Greek term for the womb. For good reason.

It's a well established fact that women are more neurotic than men.

In b4 I'm a simp.
Leftists strip away anything positive and replace it with leftist schizo paranoia.

Hello. Trump never suggested anything about bleach. He was talking about UV light as a disinfectant, which was very clear from the context.
You're a victim of fake news.
What the ****.......
