I wasn't going anyway.
Nephew should be fine, he's 12. He has a fever and sore throat. His mom (my sister) is taking the situation seriously as well.

squirrelrubbinghisnips
I mean its good to remember that the ccp kept information about the virus hidden for weeks allowing it to spread
woozle
baby steps

The very attitude of "it's not affecting me!!" Is what makes America so fucked up. We're lost in a sea of carelessness
R4113
My dad (Ret. Fire Chief) said this was all B.S. Until a family member died and another will likely be on oxygen for life. SMH
NoZedWord
I've been taking this virus seriously for the last 15 years, bare minimum social contact.
DopeChicken
Maybe 250(+)K is what we needed. Sadly, probably not
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
To be fair my dad takes it seriously AND calls it the china virus, though he's a bit of a conspiracy nut and thinks the CCP released it.
Ventorath
The fact that so many people refuse to acknowledge it as a serious thing until someone close to them gets it is so god damn infuriating.
H3RLA
So did OP, i mean why not cancel Thanksgiving to begin of the lockdown... Why wait till one gets infected.
WPIII381
Its still China virus
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Yeah, I don't understand why it's "wrong" to nickname it that. It came from China.
fennecbutt
Just like gay rights: human beings are hard wired to mostly care about them and theirs. Gay people didn't get rights until we were more
fennecbutt
Pervasive in the community. Easier to see someone as a person when it's your brother, or your daughter or your friend.
thatsmyfetish69
I cancelled my attendance to my family. They respected me and said “see you at Christmas when this is finally over”. Can you tell them?
mithiwithi
I'd probably reply "Christmas 2021?" I mean, it MIGHT be over by then.
Fractoman
I mean if we're going by the typical naming scheme it should be called the Wuhan Virus, kinda like how Ebola is named after a river.
JackTheRippersBrotherHowie
everythings fake news until it hits close to home, NOW its concern time.
that300ZXguy
Uh-huh, usually what it takes. Probably could have been prevented if they took it seriously.
Etereo
If only every denier got it maybe shit would start to be taken seriously. Wait, that's probably the plan.
DomZombie
It's always fun and games until someone gets hurt.
Autittuderp
It goes & puts the magnifying glass on the very point many of us make about the #1 prob in the US. 'Me first, my rights win' over all else.
Autittuderp
Even when it hits them, if their case isn't bad- some roll with it. I know ppl were + but asymptomatic they still lived like it was normal.
Redbeansandric1
I'm Asian, boils my blood when people call it the China virus... but I can't help snickering when someone says "kung-flu"...
cyke23
I’m Asian, I’m fine with it but at this point it’s completely their own fault now
FuzzyX
Wuhan Fluhan.
Odmanra
I picked up a shift at work on thanksgiving because my parents want to take me to there friends house. I hate people I don't know.
JackSmiles2
Guess a small chance for his kid to die is too high of a chance and woke up.
SendNudis
It came from Chi - Na.
Szavor
The amount of people that ONLY take it seriously when they experience it in their own personal life..... Sigh
MoonPlanetWrecker
The aftermath is difficult. My 7 yo has beaten it but is still exhausted constantly w/sore tired muscles. I hope he feels better soon!
catrov
There is a lot of evidence accumulating that the sequelae (aftereffects) are the worst part of this disease. Even in the young, there are 1/
catrov
reports of fatigue, muscle pain, breathing difficulties, heart problems and brain damage. Being young and "having a good immune system" 2/
catrov
can actually be the cause of some of these, because the virus over-triggers the immune system, causing it to attack the body's own tissues.
retro2619
And yet we still use “Spanish Flu” to associate the early 29th century virus. Hypocrites much?
TheConnArtist
My boyfriend's dad and family are very Republican. The nine yards. But they cancelled thanksgiving cuz they are scared it might be real.
EmilyKla
Wow, that’s actually surprising. My best friend’s mom is actually very angry at her because she cancelled T-Day (she was going to host).
EmilyKla
My friend offered to bring round a pie to her mom and she rudely said no. Best part: my friend’s dad has diabetes and other health probs.
EmilyKla
You’d think that she’s be happy her daughter cancelled in order to keep everyone safe. But her mom thinks Rona isn’t serious. It’s BATSHIT.
TheConnArtist
His sister has liver disease and her dad is just older. Not taking a chance. I'm glad that they came to their senses.
catsandcoke
I hate that people can empathize with strangers. They don’t care about the virus until it hits their family.
Gayforbae
Can't? *
Hardcore04
Fuckin Boomers. Am I right?
Lulabel73
In my area it’s millennials/zoomers at the beach. No masks no social distancing.
humanhotplate
Its mostly old people out and about near me, no masks and all crotchety, but I also live near lots of Trump supporters.
Rylinn
I wish it would be like this here too... Dad on demonstrations, got back and wants to meet.. Doesn't get it that I don't want to meet for 2w
miertam
Someone he knows finally caught it..shit just got real.
Slamtastik
my moms a nurse and wasn't even that threatened by it till her friends got it. Now shes terrified after what it did to a 25 y/o nurse.
MPinky
9 months of US exposure later...
FlyingDorito
It’s about to hit hard in US for everyone. People not taking it seriously will get it and see their loved ones drop.
planetfinder
I wonder if the experts are right about other things...
Hendlton
Nah, this one's just a fluke... And all the other ones are as well!

Parents in FL to care for G-ma after surgery. G-ma gets COVID. Parents mad I don’t want to come for dinner, 10 days later!!
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
Your parents watch fox news? Im sorry man, thats got to suck
Christx30
Fox News is the old and busted. Newsmax is the new hotness. I get 3 Newsmax type calls per day now. I shudder to think what goes on there>
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
So the cons are abandoning fox? Why? Not crazy or pandering enough?? Seriously, i want to know. Its like there has been a shift last month.
Christx30
Because fox is acknowledging Biden’s win, and not taking the crazy conspiracy theories seriously. Even Tucker is calling out trump for his>
Christx30
bullshit. The bloom is definitely off the rose.
Christx30
if Fox News is fading. Like finding out a guy was kicked out of Al Qaeda or the League of Shadows for being too crazy.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
Only acceptable if there is a note attached saying stole this from some piece of shit human with date and location
orangebicx
It amazing what happened when it actually.effects you or somebody close.
StellarJay77
It's really frustrating that for way too many people it has to come to that before they do anything about it and by then it's too late.
petpet3d
Selfish bastards
nanamonster
What's bad is when they (or someone they know) get it and it just doesn't hit them as hard. So it validates their "it ain't so bad" mindset.
cobacalao
Yeah. I also hit full.stop instead space often. Android keyboard? They are too close.
orangebicx
I feel better knowing I'm not alone.
Zappers42
I need someone close my my mom to get it before she finally takes it seriously
Tento2
quite a lot of humanity is sad and pathetic for not being able to learn from others mistakes.
MechaGandalf
my workplace didnt take it seriously until someone literally died.
BisAndThighHighs
My work only took it seriously once they were made to by inspectors. They're still pissed that someone "grassed them up" 1/
BisAndThighHighs
I'm personally thankful they did because my work took the fucking piss 2/2
unwashedsauce
:(
garbagegirlcindy21
I have it. Always took it seriously. Got it as a result of a function I DID NOT attend.
Thefreeeezian
Hey covid-bro! I have it too. What’s the worst about it for you?
garbagegirlcindy21
The fevers! They come and go! Stay positive, bro (but not that way).
RockTheKazbahhh
I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s so not right.
IdUpvoteYouButYoureAt69
Sooo how'd you get it?
GeorgieLeech
Someone they're in contact woth caught it from said function.
garbagegirlcindy21
That is correct

Just use "impact/s/ed/ing" if you don't know the difference.
Psionickitten
Or you could learn how different effects affect the English language.
BurberryBlessings
I prefer impact stylistically. In addition, that kind of nuance just further confused my designated English Language Learner students.
