Corona Virus # 3

I think that's a personal attitude which can be applied or not. Maybe it should be the "you" attitude. As in it's whatever "you" want it to be in life.

Whatever..............

As a parallel example. You know what I'm referring too. Maybe I should have just called it the 'me me' attiutude because that is what it distills down too.

IOW, all about me and you don't count, whatever makes me feel good and pizz on you...

Exactly, in the case of covid19 (or any virus) when people do not consider how their actions can infect other people. They go in public, travel, etc. rather than stay home. It is all about them.

Then there's this statistic you don't see in the news:
"Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than*480,000*deaths per year in the United States, including more than41,000*deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure."
Which is why I stick with cigars. And what's the run on toilet paper about? Yesterday we had to throw in the towel, all the stores sold out. I guess we'll have to sit tight until it's all over.

My personal observation is, the largest contributor to the spread of 'it' is the 'me too' attitude. People in general don't care about anything but themselves and making themselves 'feel good' is paramount and **** with anyone else. All about 'me' today.

So I have it but I want to go to say a concert, so I go and **** with anyone else, an I go and cough and sneeze without covering my nose or mouth with a kleenex and spread the germs everywhere... Because it's all about me and pizz on you. So long as I 'feel good' it's all that counts.

That sadly is what our society has come to and that is the cause of the spread of not only the Wuhan Flu but common colds and Asian flu as well.

'Me to', otherwise know as the 'me me' attitude.

Really dude? Two days ago you were making fun of people wearing masks in public. :confused3:

Tobacco is a big profit money maker... Just like alcohol. Can't fight big business...

340 confirmed cases of Covid 19 and 14 deaths so far.

Flu has about 40 MILLION confirmed cases and has already killed 18,000+ people

Yet we are "worried" about Covid-19? Why is that? Someone please tell me why we are worried about 14 dead people killed by covid 19 when people are "dropping like flies" from Flu. Show me the logic. Please do. Cigarette smoking killing hundreds of thousand every year. Why aren't we worried about that? Second hand smoke? You don't see people wearing masks to protect against that now do we? This is just nuts. Just insane.

I agree. Its nuts. Clickbait news has the population in a stampede mentality.

You, Sir... are 100% correct. It is the "new" news of the day. Tomorrow there will be something else. Mind you, it won't be something "good", but it will be something "really bad".

That worked out well for Rush.
