We are joking here, well I often do and make irreverent posts about serious matters and that may offend people, but we can imagine that Wuhan has been like a war zone. People are panicking. Pets were abandoned to die in locked up apartments. I read about a handicapped child who died when inadvertently left alone while his father was hospitalized.
Imagine when Europeans were dodging bombs in WW II, and might not be able to bury their dead, did they cry over some lost mementos?
In my defense the Chinese girl who made the video or commented/voiced over it, did express anger/disappointment at having all her stuff tossed out.
But you are correct, I was trying to see the humorous side.
Some of my posts are light hearted, or irreverent as well, probably because otherwise it's overly scary.
The empty streets of China, mean many/most people must be suffering, how can people in the city not be starving as the grocery supply chain is broken. They have not been paid in weeks either so where is the money to buy stuff, and is price gouging going on ?
Think of the logistics of feeding 11 million people in their houses.
If you are in one of those houses and have a heart attack, it's probably a death sentence as ambulances might be busy with covid-19 calls, and the hospital is already swamped with patients.
Now it is suggested Covid-19 last up to 30 days and some people have no symptoms so they have been spreading it for 30 days. All the airport checking by temp, never found anyone, and possibly folks were traveling the world with it weeks before we even thought to screen.
Now a person can get re-infected, so if you live though it once, does not mean you are safe, its more like the common cold in this way, except it kills about 2.3% of the time.
I feel soon this will be called a Pandemic, as it is spreading in multiple countries and they have not contained it.
It's so scary that it's possible we are watching the beginning of what will later be called the
extinction event.
