Okay, bye.

Can't deal with crazy.

Please don't just take a cheap shot. 72 people can die from a virus without making it really harmful. Just like it is not considered harmful to walk down a street.

Was told on another forum that the anti-Malaria drug hydrochloroquine is being tested against covid-19 and signs that it could be useful in suppressing covid-19 pandemic have been positive. It reduces the length of time of the infection,reduces how much of a beating u get from the virus and gets it out out of your system quicker. It was identified as a possible treatment for an epidemic a while ago, but that virus was squashed before it could be tested.

Only a vaccine will (probably)fully get rid of this. But something like this(or other drugs being tested-there are a few others)could reduce the burden on Health sectors that will be overrun by victims of Covid, considering they always have other illnesses, injuries etc to treat.

Lol @ControlledChaos this is not similar to my topic, I just asked how bad would it feel to have been the one who started this outbreak..

Though it's scary knowing that 60k new cases happened around the world just yesturday.

People who make fun of panic about this Coronavirus and saying "it's just a flu" but look where we have come, nowadays we get at least 2.5k deaths per day on average 

with almost 1k alone in Italy in A day. Schools and public places got canceled for a reason. When you say "it's only bad for old people" well let's use some logic here... example: You are young and have Coronavirus but you don't know yet (no symptoms yet), you could infect elderly and k*ll them. 

Wash your hands at least every hour for 20 seconds, stay distant and stay home, and especially don't approach much to your parents as they are more in danger than we are.

I'm just addressing this to people who don't take this virus seriously and I hope this will do something, I know what I said above got spread everywhere but we always have to repeat and alert people to make sure nothing harm will happen to other people and to you.

And yeah, I gotta agree that online classes SUCK.
