I understand and am sorry for your loss, you see you judgement is depanding on USA condition, what I would call ignorance is thinking there is nothing else important happning in the world, I GUARANTEE you that even 5% death rate is a normal day in a big part of this world, I understand your point of view is coming from someone who been living a very normal life going to college and all that, however REMMBER that if you are speaking from USA or any other FIRST WORLD COUNTRY, people in 3rd world countries feel bit differently as thier lived once get killed on daily basis , Syria , Yemen , Iraq , Africa , libya, or those are not humans worth feeling sad for and worth giving you a different view in life. Plus watch international channels you might get what I mean, again sorry for all the deaths happning in the world however this you might not like but believing in God and beliving that everyone got a day. One more point the wars that been going on in the world what do you think those wars do to people ? Do you excpact people who been living under booms for decades to feel the same you you feel bout death ! . Be safe .

I know it's really scary and they put it even on the news strip, I will give BBC site a try, my problem is I live alone and just sitting watching this things day and night even movies don't have that much joy at these times, I really hope and I pry everyone to be okay, and I pry for each and everyone, and I wish we were able to help as nation's we are strong power I wished if governments asked for our help even if it was volunteering to make masks or somthing with instructions given from governments we would cover the shortage in a week, anyways we will win and that is a fact .

@shifter in my country is a lot propaganda and fake news everywhere . Panic spreads more than a virus and even if you dont watch news there are people outside that watch news and they get obsessed ,they get gigantic eyes like wild scared animals and they are ready to attack you if you accidentally Stand 1 cm too close to them in a line in a grocery.

That's excatly what I mean it just feels wrong, I don't know what is right thing to do but somthing is not right not in whole world but there is some countries which have somthing wrong going along with infection, I swear it's not conspiracy theory that I mean, but there is people use the suitation as it go without conspiracy but the result is very much the same

Brain wash? Corrupted media? Nobody is forcing you to watch you news, when it's stressing me out I just stop watching. They're not reporting on much other stuff because frankly there isn't much else happening in the world, most of us are stuck in our homes. I wouldn't call giving updates on a global pandemic and keeping the flow of information intact "spreading panic". Someone I suspect that if they weren't reporting on it, you would be calling THAT a conspiracy. There has also been plenty of explanation for why infection and death rates are different in different countries: they're at different points in their epidemics, some countries test more people with mild symptoms, some countries' health systems are overwhelmed because of too many sick people at one time which increases mortality, and deaths are being reported differently in different countries (cause of death vs an unrelated positive test in someone who has died of other causes). Idk what news you're watching but the reasons why the strength of the virus looks like it's different in different countries has been explained pretty well where I live. I'm all for being positive and having an attitude that things will ultimately be okay. But putting it in the same post with lots of stuff indictating that you basically think of a dangerous virus as "fake news" makes it sound a lot more like willful ignorance. My friend's professor from college died of it a while back, people on here have had the symptoms including me (I live in an area with a high infection number) and we all need to take the health advice seriously so that vulnerable people are protected.

I'm not from the USA. So your argument is that people only care about coronavirus because it's killing rich white people rather than malaria killing Africans every day or drone strikes killing children in the middle east? That's actually a very legitimate point. But it's still a new and dangerous virus and we have the opportunity now to prevent more death, for the good of everyone. If it isn't controlled in Africa it could kill a horrendous number of people already suffering from malnutrition and poor immune systems. I still disagree with your complaints that the media is corrupt or trying to brainwash or panic everyone. They're covering news which is relevant to their viewers, as they're expected to.

I think a lot of us would like to be able to get a filter on the news for us right now. I think the BBC has an area on the news website and a segment on TV which is just for good news stories about people helping eachother with the virus. It's good to read that stuff instead. We don't need to know the new scary numbers of dead people all the time.

I got a virus, alot of people is sick now, this is another bog virus, i dont know the name, but i talked someone who told me that its normal that this virus attacks your nervous system, and brings up the things we are the most sensitive. I wrote a post before that i had really scary thoughts about maybe i will die tomorrow or i can die anyday, i feel like thats was a sign of that cause now im finding myself being so sensitive about this and also im afraid of depression, suicidal thoughts and feeling hopeless. The biggest problem is that i dont know how to label them,if i say maybe im actually dealing with depression, and i need to work on these dark thoughts then i feel anxious and freak out that im having depression and deep thoughts and then feel shame cause i use fear to hide from a problem which i should take seriously, but if i say its not true, i feel like im lying and not working on my mental health... but these dark hopeless feelings feel so real and the thoughts too, and i know this sounds really ocdish cause everyone says this, but it doesnt feel like the ocd symptoms i have. It seems like ocd is more about me not accepting that im depressed or feeling hopeless which makes me feel guilt more cause that sounds like i just dont want to accept that im actually depressed. Im really afraid that these thoughts and feeling means i have an actual problem, and im actually going through depression. My ocd can be about depression too but i heard from someone that many people with ocd doesnt want to accept that they are depressed and thats the problem, so this makes me feel bad that i have to accept that this is an actual problem. Also with grief, i have a fear over grief cause i think i cant deal with it, and i always has thoughts like "you didnt grieved well" and it makes me really sad and afraid that i will never get out of grief... Whatever i do i feel stuck cause if i accept im going through depression and these thoughts are something i need to work on i just feel worse... I dont know what should i do about this, view it as something i need to work on or its just ocd and the illness getting me where im the most sensitive...

I was told that this illness that im having now(some say its some kind of covid) is attacking people where they are the most sensitive, so it got my mental health and at first it was the fear of my health which im starting to face but now it got deeper and i have feelings of hopelessness and like a depressed feelings and thoughts like things wont get better. And i dont know where this comes from, im afraid this is actually what i believe. Dont know if its ocd or the illness actually made these problem come up what was pushed away by me... When i have these feelings my first reaction is fear and i dont know if its something i shouldnt give attention or the fear is actually bad and it makes me avoid the problem, so i should work on this depression... I dont know whats happening but its scarry and i dont like these dark thoughts. I think i suffer more because of the fear and shame of these thoughts but again i dont know if the fear and shame shows me that i dont need to give attention to these thoughts or the fear and shame actually blocks me to deal with these thoughts and feelings...
