Coronavirus related conversation

[Irwin]

We had our first coronavirus death in the U.S. last night in Washington state. That's only the beginning. We're all gonna die!!!

We're at risk in crowded, indoor places. People with jobs such as cashiers and healthcare workers come in direct contact with a large number of people every day, which must be bad enough, considering the quality of people in the world, but now they're at risk of catching a deadly virus from them. And if cashiers catch it, they'll no doubt spread it to other customers while the virus is incubating and before any symptoms appear. And a lot of cashiers probably can't afford to take time off of work, so they'll go to work even if they have symptoms.

This might be a good time to try grocery delivery. King Soopers has free grocery shipping for orders over $35 dollars. There's a chance that somebody with the coronavirus could have sneezed on your groceries, but the risk of catching it is probably quite small as long as you wash your hands before you stick your grimy little fingers in your mouth.

This has been a public service announcement.

You mean deliveries like this:

The plague full swift goes by;
I am sick, I must die.

Do you know how many people die of the flu every single year? Fifty thousand, on average, every year without fail.

The coronavirus has not even killed five thousand.

Do you worry about the flu killing everyone? No, you don't, but looking at the above figures you probably should. Why don't you? Because every news station, newspaper, and radio isn't constantly talking about the deadly flu. If they were, you wouldn't leave the house.

The coronavirus is an example of conversion disorder, also known as mass hysteria, and I guarantee you in three months' time no one will be talking about it. It'll have died and we'll never hear of it again. Just the same as swine flu, avian bird flu, and the Ebola Zaire scare of a few years back.

'Corona' is the secret weapon of mass destruction.

Seriously, there has been so many cases reported where my daughter lives in France she has asked us to cancel our visit.

I saw something I read in a news report while in the United States. I don't know how true to the facts it is. Especially since I was never that age.

I won't compare it to corona yet. One of my aunts has influenza, which is supposedly the flu, which I don't know if the internet has mentioned it by the correct name of the sickness.
