I pretty much never neg anyone. Im not negging you either.
The facts are the following: there is a virus going around. it's highly contagious and spreads rapidly. it causes people with underlying health conditions become much worse off, and can damage healthy people too. You don't want to catch it, and you definitely don't want your elder family catching it. My moms is over 70 and my pops is over 60 and them catching rona might mean them dying.
These are rational facts.
Whether or not someone thinks this is something to be in fear of, is up to them. But you gotta remember, your personal freedoms end where others safety and health are concerned. Personally, getting sick of anything is not something that should be glossed over. I don't understand you saying fear mongering, when rational facts are presented. People can die from this virus, that is established. People die of other causes, sure. People die of AIDS, but HIV is only transmitted through sex or needle sharing.
This virus is mild on death scale, yet because it spreads so easily it's doing mad work. It spreads worse than flu, and is more deadly. This is also a fact. You can choose to not be worried about it, but I think its perfectly reasonable for someone to be worried, especially if they are used to social congregations or they work with people. Or they have health conditions.
