Chill out folks!
Chill out folks! Here in Calgary, folks seem be getting a little freaked out. A national gym chain just closed it's doors members and nonmembers alike, the malls are nearly empty, the library closed it's doors today indefinitely, I'm sitting in an empty cafe in the middle of the day and no one is bothering me (actually, that part is kind of nice). I've lived through diseases that should have killed me before my 3rd birthday, I was in China during the SARS epidemic, travelling around within, lived through serious starvation and pneumonia (twice more) in China and now I'm back in Calgary with heart problems and people keep asking why I'm not freaked out. If it's going to come and get me, then here I am, come on! I'm not particularly tough nor stronger than others, but my life is not getting put on hold while I wait for it to come for me. I worry about the people that are losing jobs because of this, the long reaching financial results of this could be catastrophic to many. Me, I'm an old guy on welfare, I get just enough to get by but I have a comfortable bed to sleep in, my computer for entertainment and friends all over this world that I worry more about than myself. Let's just try to get by this, put it behind us. Let's put the conspiracy theories away, take some time to kick back and rest and get ready for the next stage in life, post-COVID-19 and in the meantime, take good care of yourself and your loved ones and let's just stop freaking out. OK? |

since youre canadian (best neighbours the us could ask for), im sure youre not using the term "freaking out" to refer to "being abundantly cautious", like "trumpers" here would. biggest threat to this whole thing is the two-week incubation time. that means people who dont know yet they have it could infect you and others, and in turn, you could already have it and not know and be infecting others as well. maybe a LITTLE "freaking out" isnt such a bad thing. in this case, letting our guard slip may be by far and away the worse of the two evils. its unreasonable and irresponsible to NOT act as if anyone could already have it and that anyone can get it. we have far too many boneheads here in the us that are doing that, and were paying a steep price for it, with worse to come, no doubt. you canadians are smarter than that i think and hope. on the bright side, if you WERE exposed to SARS, you might have a clue in your body that can help doctors fight this, since COVID is reportedly in the same family as SARS. have you asked your family doctor? stay safe up there, my new friend, but remember no one is untouchable until this runs its course. "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"
