The fact that this is a communicable disease I think is the reason why society is freaking out. A lot of people have people in their lives who are vulnerable (elderly and/or chronically ill people) and are terrified of the prospect of their vulnerable family member/friend catching the virus and dying. Their worst fear is infecting that vulnerable person themselves. The fear of this virus is literally destroying families. My dad had me when he was old. So he's elderly. And he found out he had Stage IV metastatic cancer earlier this year. My family thinks I'm selfish for wanting to see my girlfriend for fear that I'm gonna catch the virus and infect and hospitalize/kill my dad. Even though less than 2 people/day are dying of the virus in Ontario and there's only 66 Ontarians hospitalized with COVID right now, 30 in ICU and 15 intubated. Our society has lost their fucking mind.

I literally wrote a mental note in my mind to write my older sister out of my will if I die before her for calling me selfish for carrying about wanting to "get laid" over my dad's health. When I have been in a relationship for over 1 year and my girlfriend and I missed our 1 year anniversary because my family is terrified that I'm gonna kill dad. As my dad's caretaker, I am starting to resent this shit. If I didn't take care of him, neither of my siblings would take care of him since my brother lives 75 minutes away by car and my sister is downtown with no car. And yet I'm called the selfish one. Why are people so fucking insane? The positivity rate in Ontario is like 0.4%. My girlfriend has no symptoms. I'm expected to give up my love life for fractions on fractions of a percent of risk. I texted all the coronavirus numbers to my sister and she just ignored my facts.
