    Scary article about permanent effects.

      If I was her I'd eat a bullet and get it over with.

      You cannot live in fear. Take whatever precautions are prudent for you and get on with your life.

        I don’t believe the story about the guy with the wife who’s high school principal is advising her to get a divorce. That’s just made up.

        There’s a guy where I work whose wife is immunocompromised and he locks himself away in his office and only talks via video. It’s affecting his work and possibly other things too. The irony is she gave him Covid and they both fully recovered with no problem but he continues to do it.

        I was only joking

          Yeah, at some point it’s just the world we live in and life is by no means permanent.

            I agree with you both. I do what i think is needed within reason to avoid/prevent COVID but still live a normal life.

              Yesterday, I came across a somber tweet by a man who’s trying to protect his family from Covid. He said, “my wife has been speaking with the principal of my children’s elementary school and that he has been advising her to file for divorce because I was clearly not well and ‘my life revolves around fear.’”

              Likely hyperbole, but even if not I can easily see a scenario where his fear of the virus is a greater threat to the family than the virus. A situation where where the guy has completely shut himself down, preventing the kids from returning to school, not bringing in an income, and having a paranoia start infecting his children. In that type of situation I can imagine a wife in a counseling session over her children breaking down and a principal advising her that her first responsibility is to protect her children... From her husband if necessary.

              Yes, a principal is telling someone’s wife to divorce him because he wants to protect them from a deadly, disabling virus.

              There's Ebola, too. Probably should protect them from that, too. And the threat of a nuclear war...

              Companies are also starting to pressure their employees to get therapy “to conquer their fear of Covid.”

              Pressure or offer? And from the sounds of this article so far, it may be necessary.

              Each time we catch it, this virus attacks our hearts and minds. It weakens us. It tries to kill us.

              Uhm, no. It doesn't try to kill us. It tries to replicate. The author's anthropomorphizing the virus and giving it an intent that the virus doesn't have colors and distorts everything else in the column.

              COVID bad. Living in fear of it? Worse.
