I don't know what's worse: the fear-mongering by the media or the fear-mongering by well-intentioned people eager to help/give advice during this uncertain period.
Covid-19 has well and truly dominated everything. The media is non-stop talking about it. The economy is dying because of it. Governments are weaponising it for their own selfish purposes. Don't know who and what to trust? Yep. Social media has made it 1,000 times worse, because "everything said is valid and how dare you criticise me!".
Basically everyone is running in circles.
Geez. Can we even live past March without killing one another online, in FB or in real life?
EDIT:
Didn't attend ICFA, because it was cancelled.
I made the decision not to attend before they cancelled it.
Now Florida has confirmed cases and the US is a mess.
Actually the world is a mess now.
Swancon is cancelled too. Many cons are cancelled.
So... yes, I am actually quite furious with the virus.
