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 .

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.

PLEASE do not argue over political stances in this post that is not what this is for at all. For context I consider myself someone with mixed views (politically homeless) and I am connected with people of all stripes and beliefs and stances. After the inauguration in the USA this weekend there has been an overwhelming response from the populace especially online. I feel like I’m completely surrounded by people (on every “side”) who are making very intense and unyielding statements about other people’s morals and values and “good-“ or “bad-ness” based on their beliefs, opinions, responses or non responses to all the different things going on politically. I feel like it’s driving me insane. My head has been spinning constantly and I can’t stop crying. I feel like I’m drowning and cornered and under a police interrogation light. I’m so terrified of saying or doing or thinking or not thinking the “wrong” thing, I’m feeling my heart being torn in so many directions and I’m struggling to stop ruminating and spiraling over feeling like I don’t belong anywhere and no matter what I’m always going to be evil to someone. This is not me taking a side or revealing what I think, or trying to make an implied judgment or comment on ANY political figure, policy, etc….My point is: the issue I’m having is with the way people are talking about these issues and about other people in the midst of these issues, so black and white, so moralistic, and my OCD is having a field day. Just looking for camaraderie and to know I’m not alone in this. I please ask again do not bring up specific political issues or take stances in the comments. Thank you.

Am so tired I see no reason to clean no reason to try or think it’s all going to get better. My OCD, keeps telling me we are in the second great depression and we’re going to head to World War III soon. And that there’s no reason in living anymore and I should end it before I see the horrors unfold in front of me. It tells me that I am suffering enough and it’s time to let go. There’s no reason to keep suffering only to die later without any sort of fix to the situation. I cry constantly to myself about the economy about who’s in charge of the US about how I’m gonna live in such a world about how different prices were about how the older generations had it better.. And now my OCD keeps telling me that they’re the bad people. They’re the ones who should suffer. They’re the ones who did this to us. The boomers are the ones that led my generation down into this hell. And it drives me crazy. I think about it every day and it constantly repeats itself telling me that I should just let go that it’s time to let go. I’m only 18 but I’ve been worrying about the economy in the third world war since the age of 12. My psychiatrist said that I am burdened by my intelligence. And my OCD loves to torture me with it. I can’t get out of this malicious cycle of feeling OK OCD coming back giving me anxiety leading to depression. And compulsions of suicide, I just don’t think I’ll be able to live in this world. I don’t think it’s worth it and I think it’s just going to be painful. I went to an abandoned gas station that was abandoned in the early 70s. I found a Coke bottle from the 1960s halfway embedded in the dirt. It was fully intact not even a scratch on it. The glass was thick and sturdy. It looked like it can last forever. Instead of having a rapper that displayed all of the details on it all of the textures of the words in the brand and everything you needed to know was engraved into the glass itself. And you know what?? Back then that was only $.10.. now a Coke with a plastic wrapper made out of plastic in a smaller size is about 3 to 4 dollars.. I just can’t I tried to take my mind off of it, but while I’m growing in, and my OCD loves to taunt me. I can’t seem to pretend like everyone else it’s just too out in the open and my OCD, won’t let me forget. It’s like my own personal hell.
