Everyone who's not a fool is afraid right now. We're facing something terrible for the first time in living memory, and the systems with whose promises of safety we grew up are also the systems which it seems have largely failed to act effectively in our defense. And the nature of the threat is such that it feels like there's not much we can do to look out for ourselves or each other.
We can try to be kind. I think that's what the comment you're replying to is about. Sucks at it, for sure; "this, too, shall pass" can only ever be cold comfort at best. But the motivation is honorable, however incompetent the attempt.

- lazylizard 7y agoThanks for calling me a fool! I think i will not die or even suffer from serious illness with regards to covid 19. My mom in her 80s has higher risks..but she's more worried than me so she'd have a lower chance of getting infected perhaps. And given her age. Even if it weren't covid-19 i wouldn't be surprised if she had medical issues in the coming years.
