It's mostly old people dying.

OP=Trump.

I wish you a painful death, OP.

We know, OP, but the reason Datalounge has been talking about it nonstop is because 95% of its users are the elderly.

The world is already beginning to get over it all, the media has squeezed every last drop of attention they can.

It's all beautiful, it's perfect. Just relax.

Nothing to worry about, I tell you!

I worry about my grandma.

R6, don't worry, it's mostly old people dying.

Hi Vanessa.

"The show must go on."

....

I'm not saying don't care about old people! I'm saying the people dying don't usually work anyway. So go back to work, and stay from them!

Bizarre how many young people on various sub-Reddits are cheering for old people to die of this.

OP is Melania's vagine.

You sure it’s not her asshole?

If not, it’s somebody’s asshole. I wonder if they’ll claim his lifeless body from the morgue.

It's like any flu season. Many old and ill just can't survive it. Why is this flu any different?

trump's way dealing with social security without a fight.

"So go back to work, and stay from them!"

You first, moron R11.

R15, apparently too stupid to live, doesn't seem to notice the global outbreak and response to the coronavirus and its severity makes it very different from "another flu season."

R15, can I have your stuff? I'll fumigate everything first, don't worry.

Actually it seems like a stealth Universal Basic Income ploy. Everyone's a socialist, now!

R12, if there were any doubts, now you know how Nazi Germany happened.

But this is not one of them. Italy quarantined but because they lived with their elderly relatives, it didn't matter. If anything, I would argue the 70+should quarantine and life should go on for other people.

How much longer can people go on a lockdown for? There's not a real imminent threat except to the elderly. Give them the care. Give them the access to hospitals and priority. We can't have martial law because grown adults are babies fighting over toilet paper.

We are ruining the prospects of a whole generation to save some of our parents (or ourselves) . The economic consequences of this panic will kill more people than the virus itself. Once the true infection rates are known, the morbidity will be far lower than 1%. If you have >8 billion people you will have hundreds of thousands of dead even if the morbidity is low in the overall population. Each year >600.000 humans die from falling.

Actually, it's mostly old, European/North American/some East Asian people dying. The virus hasn't had a drastic effect on old or otherwise Africans, Central/South Asians or Latin Americans.

I'm young so it'll be refreshing to have all the Eldergays gone.

On the plus side, there'll be plenty of Soylent Green to go around.

"Each year >600.000 humans die from falling"

Falling isn't contagious.

The little secret about viruses they mostly impact people with weakened or no immune systems. As you get older, say past 65 your immune system isn't as able to clear infections. And the very young don't have fully developed immune systems. So if you're between say 25 and 60 you won't really get sick.

There are a lot of young and middle aged people who have other conditions like asthma or diabetes, or even unknown health problems - there was some Spanish footballer who just died of the virus and they found out he had leukemia. You just never know. Even if the risk is small, it's not totally insignificant.

This notion that it's just about the elderly flies in the face of the fact that half of people who have it in France are in intensive care. They're not all elderly. It's also about having compromised immune systems and that can be at any age.

As for the gash at R24 who thinks it's funny to wish sick old people death, one day that will be you. Or maybe it'll be sooner. THAT will be refreshing.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not an "eldergay." I'm just not a cunt like R24.

Yes, it is the Millennial/GenZ RPG Dream Virus: Kills the Boomers and Clears up the Environment!

Y'all think the world would be amazing without people over 60? I hope YOU get it and have an underlying condition you are unaware of, heretofore.

It's funny that the old people don't realize why the young are glad to have something like coronavirus. A boomer remover is long overdue, you've worn out your welcomes. It's the elderly that brought about global warming and the republican takeover. Good riddance to you, cunts.

Ive read way too many stories of healthy young and middle aged people dying - or suffering extreme cases. With no other health issues. Yes the old are more vulnerable - but for everybody please, this is more severe and dangerous than the flu and potentially deadly. Do whatever you want - but to dismiss this as an old persons risk is dumb given how many non-elderly have died.

GASH ALERT at R32. R32, unfucked and unfuckable, will die alone. And hopefully soon.

BYE, CUNT.

It figures a toxic thread with trolls like R32 would happen here.

Done with this bullshit.

The reason there are so many in France under 65 in intensive care is probably because they are smokers. Their lungs are already compromised. The young people who vape in the US well...that remains to be seen

There have been too many cases where people didn’t smoke, had no health issues and had severe or deadly cases. This does affect the old more - but the myth it doesn’t take down the 20-50 age group seems to be a myth,

R15 1) much more contagious 2) non-symptomatic humans spread it more quickly 3) mortality rates 3-4 times regular flu

Amazing how people are responding to this crisis with obstinate limited thinking. They don't like it so they don't believe it.. Hence the mental constructs that allowed an incompetent TV star to become president.

Really because didn't a 45 year old die in NY on Monday? Aren't half of the ICU's in France and The Netherlands filled with people under 50? Isn't some Doctor in California treating 2 20 ish year old dudes who went to Italy and they are in bad shape?

Don't get complacent. Or do so at your own peril and hopefully you don't take anyone else down with you.

This virus has already mutated into a separate more virulent strain.

Without these quarantines and lockdowns everywhere on earth right, I would imagine the numbers of deaths would have been staggering by now, maybe comparable to Spanish flu.

The Talmud says that to save one life is equivalent to saving the entire world.

When the situation we find ourselves in has passed, there will be no way to calculate the number of lives your actions have saved

IF YOU FUCKING TAKE THEM NOW

Well, whadya know? Turns out millennials are getting really sick in France because they're TOO STUPID to take this seriously. Reporting right now on the news.

DIE, CUNTS! LOOKIN' AT YOU, GASH R32!!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!

R32 Millennials voting at very reduced percentages caused the election of Donald Trump. Trump's self-serving refusal to respond to the virus exponentially increased infection. Recent data show millennials in Italy and France have much higher levels of infection (behavior) than older cohorts...and because of the higher numbers are in intensive care and dying.

ERGO millennials not voting in 2016 was an act of suicide. Good job kids.

Millennials are NOT kids.

Stop fucking using the word when you mean something else!

[quote] I'm young so it'll be refreshing to have all the Eldergays gone.

That's a very brave thing the say since it's likely that your at-risk mom and grandma are the only people who will ever love you.

OP, how tiresome this assertion has become. You could say that any day, at any time.

It's the suffering that really gets you. Alone, in a hospital room in isolation, struggling to breathe, having to be intubated and tented only to finally succumb to suffocation without the comfort of your loved ones.

I feel so sorry for you bitches who have to express such horrible thoughts, but not sorry enough to take REAL pity. I wouldn't wish you death, but I also wouldn't help you in those struggling moments or reach out to you as a human being. I'd feel awful, but I can live with the knowledge that it wasn't me who killed you.

If any type of person deserves to be disappeared on this planet it would be people who think like this. The world needs no more of you, your anger, your vitriolic hatred. It's this attitude - the lack of compassion and empathy for all life - that got us here.

Fuck old people, am I right? They don't even, like, matter.

I'm not saying fuck old people. Why not quarantine old people away. Look, I get that humanity could not think up and come together to protect an old folks home from being contaminated so why ask for more.

But it would be nice to protect them and let everyone else go about. However, if it's true without the lockdown that it would be Spanish Flu level then I guess we have to. I hope these empty supermarkets don't devolve into something even worse. Stock market crashes people fired. I just wanted to sequester away the most vulnerable and not panic, that's all.

The problem with the millennials and younger, while they’re good at bitching and finger pointing, as we all were when we were young, they couldn’t actually run jack shit because, at the hint of a problem, the lot now would be whining about their mental health and needing a safe space in which to recover.

Vulnerable aged and immunocompromised people are out there working, raising kids, etc. They are a huge fucking chunk of society. It's not just the nursing home crowd.

Fuck off, R48

OP, you’re an ignorant fool. Try listening to the news, and you’ll discover it isn’t just “old people” dying, and there is concern about some millennials who are being heavily affected by the disease.

Bit touchy are we, R50 ? Fuck you right back. I know a lot of people in their early 20s and all of them are diamonds. But I also, before lockdown, encountered a few of the ‘Boomer remover’ squad. I can tell you that my young friends are ashamed of and despise them just as much as I do. Possibly more in fact.

The truth is the idiots that are so flippant and dismissive of those older than them benefit from civil rights and a health system fought or, created and sustained by their elders. The only guarantee of youth is that we all lose it.

Last year, I was hospitalized after falling at home. I'm 58, so I guess that makes me old. Anyway, it's my brother who called an ambulance for me, and told my BF and my cousins what had happened. I got lots of phone calls, but the only people who visited me in the hospital or nursing home were my brother and my BF. My second cousin kept calling to check on me, and asking what she could do to help (groceries, laundry, stuff like that). I appreciated her offer to help, but she's in her 70s, and has had her own health issues. All the younger people I know kept telling me, "we really MUST get together!" Well, I spent several weeks in a nursing home, so my schedule was certainly open. Not a single visit from any of them. I was able to visit my second cousin for lunch, once I was able to drive. She actually stays pretty busy helping out other people: driving people to the store, to their doctor appointments, taking in people's dogs when they need to go out of town. Many people from her generation are accustomed to being care-givers (I am, too). Whenever she finally dies, I know many people will mourn her (I certainly will), since she's used her retirement to try to help other people.

It's not old people that are dying, it's old bodies with ageless souls that are dying

This virus isn’t going away, and developing a vaccine might take a while (if it’s even possible given the speed of Covid19’s mutating).

At some point the elderly and immunocompromised are going to have to continue to shelter in place while the rest of the world goes back to work.

When that should happen is the question, not if.

Hi, everyone--remember this fool OP?

Hey, OP--you were wrong. Dumb asshole.
