I came here because I was tired of seeing this garbage on reddit all the time. How long are you going to let yourself be scared?

    lol what a stupid fucking take.

    The government could announce a volcano evacuation and you stupid fucks would be like “how long are you babies gonna be scared?” as you walk into the burning hot lava.

    Fucking ridiculous.

    Sounding tough on the internet is very easy, so liberals love to do that.

    EDIT: I was talking about the person the above poster was responding to.

    How long are you going to let yourself be scared?

    Would you kindly walk into an intensive care unit at a hospital and repeat your flaming hot take to the nursing staff and maybe some intubated people there?

    millions dead, millions more permanently disabled, and you can't even comprehend the notion that it was all preventable. advocating for further deaths+disabilities and justifying it as fear is beyond stupid - it's bloodthirsty membership in a death cult.

    How absolutely moronic. Hey, malaria has been around since Ancient times. How long are you going to let yourself be scared of that? Go to the nearest swamp and see if you can attract some mosquitoes, bro.

    How dramatic. I don't think people are generally still scared of this. It's been part of our lives for a few years now.
    Normal people see this and go "Hmm, I'll keep some N95s around in case there's a notable uptick in people gettin' sick this flu season." Meanwhile, some people, such as yourself, seem to have a negative knee-jerk reaction to anything in the news related to COVID, and then proceed to get shit upon by the community when you bitch about it; their knee-jerk reaction is to immediately assume you're a right-winger and call you out on it (they've done it to a couple other people in here). While I don't think that's a fair assumption off the cuff, I can see how they'd jump to that.
