[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, LAY OFF THE SCIENTIST! JFC, I follow the news, read the newspaper that lands on my driveway every day, subscribe to NYT online (read major news), and I did not fully grasp how bad this would be until all the Clorox wipes and TP were gone at the grocery store. Why? Because I have a 3-sport high school athlete who will probably play in college and I don’t have time to breathe for how busy we are supporting that.

You know what MY DD is most worried about now? HER GRANDPARENTS - 88, 89 and 92. Yes, she is extremely sad to miss all her athletics. Yes, she is working out intensively still. Her whole world is upside down. But in NO way does that compare to a global pandemic!

Scientist, I wish you had been my neighbor or friend in January. God bless you for doing what you do. In the end, ournscientists, doctors, medical workers...along with first-responders and grocery store workers…will be the ones who save us.[/quote]

18:16 here.  We do not live in an 'either or' world.  One can be worried about COVID-19 and still lament the impact it has on other areas of our lives.  'Concern' is not a competitive sport nor is it 'winner take all'.  I'm sorry it took the loss of Clorox wipes and TP for you to recognize the seriousness of COVID-19 but there remain other disorders/diseases that impact individuals.  Acknowledging disappointment and impact they and COVID-19 have on our daily lives does not diminish the seriousness of this event

But, since you seem to want to make this a competition....I am far more worried about the impact of depression on my DD than the impact it may have on her only grandparent.  We have a family history of depression with multiple instances of immediate family members dying by suicide.  It is far more likely that my DD will die by suicide than she and her surviving grandparent would die of COVID-19 - even though the grandparent and my DH are people who still must interact/treat the public on a daily and intimate basis.  They are people you claim are 'the ones who will save us'.

Agree. Likely fake scientist PP and her possibly fake follower are obnoxious and obviously dismissive of serious mental health issues. I am not remotely worried about college recruiting. I am worried about crippling depression which is held at bay by hard athletics. [/quote]
