in this era of corona.. (1 Viewer)

I started thinking about the things I've been seeing some more.. I've noticed there are many doubtful looks and judging eyes, a lot of isolation ofc and coldness between people too.. I feel like our hearts are more distant than ever and once again, we turn our backs on each other like this.. I understand.. everyone is scared and worried about their health and lives, as well as their loved ones.. but I feel like we are unnecessarily uhh hostile, let's say (maybe that's not the right word..) towards others. Maybe it doesn't need to be this bad or maybe I'm too idealistic again, idk...... for example.. I was informed that my uncle has been infected..... and then heard a woman at work literally say "meh it's just old people dying, they would die anyway"..... so ........ I will continue trying to find some decency. Stay safe, everyone..

Just old people, well look what the jack off thinking done. US is seen a rise in young people getting more effected by Covid-19. Karma's a huge bitch , think of people and keep yoruself from getting infected, or infecting others. Old, immune compromised, and other easily affected are just that. Keep testing fate and a virus will shrug and take it's nearest victim. Honestly with these people ignoring everything I wouldn't be surprised in France or the US the death of young people who are healthy will start increasing over those seen at most risk. CAs on a lock down, LA and some cities aside it's life as normal. Many businesses are blatenly igoring closing orders. The Thai place by my house is purposly open late full dine in just to cash in.

I think people are becoming like this because of the isolation. it's making them bitter and lonely. and it doesn't help that the media is making everyone think that you automatically die if you become infected. yes, it's serious, but this is not the next apocalypse. we don't need to start taking the "every man for themselves" approach. we need to think of others instead of only thinking of ourselves and what will benefit us.

Yeah, it was hard to hear what should be a mature woman say something so ignorant and insensitive..... especially after finding out about my uncle.... people just don't care I guess? I don't know why I never learn even if I do know better....... I guess you still hope like a fool somehow

true... and we must remember the people who are still trying to care for others, I know they are still out there..

stay safe everyone. I know people have been hostile but the panic is getting to them. I dont think tho that decency should still bere there

People are showing their true selves with this corona virus.
Selfish and heartless beings.

I hope we become better people from this, minus the few idiots that ruin it for everyone else.

I think some of "only old people get it" self-defense, cause it's impossible to hmm mourn about everyone who dies in the world if that makes sense. Like when you hear news that someone died you won't feel like it's personally affecting you, you can distance yourself and it's not always bad thing.

But, I think there is definitely unnecessary hostility, people are too quick to jump on each other, and the thing is that not only old people can die from it. Many younger people get pneumonia from it as well even if they are healthy otherwise and pneumonia is nothing fun. Even flu ain't fun, it can freaking suck.

The coldness and distantness is not true, at least not here.
My village and a lot of other villages have people voluntarily bringing groceries to people (especially old people), we have a site with all the local restaurants so people can order food to support them and kids watching people's children because they have to work and don't know what to do with them.
