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.

Curious.... the news has been terribly distressing for me and has stirred up OCD. Compulsive rumination and checking (news stories) are my go-to when OCD is triggered. Today, I purposely did not listen to my news podcast as I do every morning. I feel better-ish. Is this avoidance, or is this self care? Would continuing to listen to a podcast be exposure with response prevention applied to the compulsions that go with it? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone as u can see I struggle with ocd and I HATE IT WITH MY LIFE , it started in 2020 covid obv contamination ocd started here , I used to carry alcohol everywhere and used to wash my hands so much that it bled ( had to wear gloves to cover it so friends or family won't see it ) and everything else started since then , harm ocd with myself or friends I couldn't hold a knife..it was really hard..and I have unwanted sexual thoughts ocd , I have panic attacks bc of this..I sometimes cannot look people into their eyes and its so random and so scary..thoughts about.. 🍇..whether it's me or I'm gonna harm someone else uk..I sometimes cannot function properly.. unfortunately friends don't understand it rather think it's about " perfectionism "..I wrote those thoughts and stuff in a journal in more details ofc and doodle ( I'm scared someone will find it ) I hate myself tbh and I don't think someone will read this... I suspect I have ADHD with all this but ocd is " ur faking it " even though lots of people have hinted about it , I thought I actually killed someone for 2 years a girl..until I realized what HOCD is , I thought I faked my ocd too in fact , I have perfectionism ocd too it's bad and I HATE PURE O it's so DRAINING uk.. also idk if this has caused a problem for anyone but if y'all know the Truman show ( basically if u don't know the main character is being filmed and his life is fake and he doesn't know it ) THAT MOVIE HAS HARMED ME SO BADLY FOR YEARS that until today I have to check in the bathroom if there are cameras cuz like ocd makes me think I'm living in a fake world , I used to think people around me , everyone was like a Ai model or smth.. everytime until today I have to clean the toilet seat bc it may be dirty..I have been taking up to 5 showers a day cuz maybe I'm dirty..that's it for today tysm if u read this till the end I'd like to know ur thoughts if u got tips or have similar experiences ! 🤗 U get a chocolate bar 🍫 bc u earned it bc ik how ocd is so frustrating ( I also noticed everyone who has ocd is so nice right 😆! )

I'm doing a lot better with my OCD episode but I'm finding it hard to cope with what's happening in my country. It's hard because it is scary and people keep telling me I should be afraid. That everything is over and it's the apocalypse. I don't think it's productive to be gripped with terror but I don't know how to calm down.
