I think you are being sarcastic...so I laughed.
I don’t think he’s being sarcastic in the way you believe he is. I think he’s calling out the all too numerous Freeper Littles. The, “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE”!!! Crowd. Of which there are very very many on this board.
Personally, I find them tedious and pathetic. Drama Queens. But, that’s just me.
I’ve spent years fighting in Third World countries where diseases that are far worse than this are prevalent. Countries where they drink water to survive that would make most Americans puke.
And, those people manage to survive.
A major issue with 1st world countries (us) is we are soft. We have 1st world worries. 1st world issues. We haven’t a clue what it takes to survive as a people outside our secure little bubbles.
And, when the media inundates us with drama designed to feed their 24/7 viewership cycle too many of us accommodate the media and freakout. Right on cue. Like trained seals.
