Then, similar to cancer, it's a bit of a crapshoot depending on access to treatment, luck and fate. Better to just stay heathy and yap yap. With cancer.... when there is new cases...the world does not lock down...people do not have the disease do not loose their livelyhoods. As saying who has got it... well... it seems by the link below... you could base an argument that it is not as bad as some are making it out to be. 102,110,605 have contracted the virus. 73,961,553 have recovered. 2,202,672 have passed away.

You can catch from another person and if I would research even more .. these are just off the top of my head .... Norovirus, Influenza, Meningitis, HFMD, Pertussis, Sexually Transmitted Infections, MRSA, and still now these days even fucking TB ... the last stats I gave to the Ministry of Health here in Thailand were about 13 M people ( can't remember the exact number ) who had TB ... which you can get with someone coughing TB has been around forever .... A whole fucking shit load people with just the 8 I gave ... ... Not trying to argue with you Bro .... we all just have to accept this .. it is here ( probably was even here before we knew it ) . deal with it and not live in fear ... you gotta get on down the road .. live your life and be fearless ... I am surprised the government hasn't exploited a "keyboard" illness yet ... ( for all of those keyboard warriors out there ) .. f**k me .. you touch the X key or got to a certain WWW site ... you are f***d .. Forget it .. you are now sick and have to be quarantined, can't go to a restaurant, swim in the sea, etc ....

I do understand your point. And, like you I think personal responsibility is #1. Especially when one has a family. Yet, so many people either have no clue or just don't give a f*ck about other people around them (even their families). The challenge with Covid is that in many countries the hospitals are overflowing with very sick people who will die or are already dead (& stacking up at morgues). Covid has overwhelmed the health care systems in many places...& destroyed families. Without some societal intervention -- (e.g., personal hygiene, measured gov't restrictions, etc.) -- it will end up being like the Black Death. Sure...eventually, it will die down (no pun intended)...in the meantime... (IMO) it is prudent to be cautious. Not fearful. Smart and cautious. . . . Black Death The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. People gathered on the docks were met with a horrifying surprise: Most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were gravely ill and covered in black boils that oozed blood and pus. Sicilian authorities hastily ordered the fleet of “death ships” out of the harbor, but it was too late: Over the next five years, the Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe https://www.history.com/topics/middle-ages/black-death#:~:text=The Black Death was a,the Sicilian port of Messina.

In a tweet from his official account, his daughter said he tested positive last week and was taken to hospital today for help with his breathing.
