Babies don't die of cancer because Terry had to be a stubborn twat and ignore the public health warnings not to swan off down the pub to add an extra beer belly to the five he already has.think everyone is being way too harsh on @Camilo. all he said was that feel 'terrified' is an extreme reaction.
some babies die of cancer. does that mean potential parents should be terrified of their kid dying from it too?
air planes sometimes crash. does that mean we would accept being terrified of flying as acceptable behaviour?
you can find anomalies like those you listed in pretty much everything in life. at the end of the day, for the VAST majority of people, we all have nothing to be terrified about.
however not being terrified doesn't mean you don't still isolate, wash hands, and help ensure the NHS isn't stretched even more than is necessary though. theres a lot of people who are already genuinely afraid and rightfully so, but i agree with Camilo it doesn't serve any benefit in adding more fear mongering to an already extreme scenario we're all living.
Airplanes don't crash because Dave, who has "Love Island" in his Interests on Facebook and still has photos of Jordan in his shed despite being married for 8 years to Maggie the School Bike, decided that he wasn't going to be told what to do by some guys in suits because "it's only the flu" so he took the family to the Peak District for the weekend, stopping off at Tesco on the way home to buy more 20% fat mine to add to the collection of twenty packs he's already got in his freezer.
People are being idiots. They're ignoring not just basic decency but common fecking sense. Sometimes extreme indifference requires a response of extreme warning.
