Remember when it's all over people will judge you by your actions and no-one likes a sniveller.
We're all very impressed.

So bottom line, you posted this thread to lash out like a raving jackass, and then when you were called out on it, you decided to brag about how rich you are.


Yes, we should all remember who behaved in what manner during this crisis. You've set a shining example.

Ohhh - maybe you will be asked to donate to food banks or for more gowns n face masks for your local hospitals. Ok with that? If I remember any wars we helped each other - a lot! Maybe because I was a military wife- just wondering?

Nailed it. No one is sniveling on this thread more than the OP.

The irony of someone coming on to a thread asking people to stop snivelling about Coronavirus and then proceeding to have a good snivel anyway.
Man there are some slow people in this world today.

who is saying that sitting at home is a hardship?

Or are you just baselessly lashing out because you're angry?
You haven't been paying attention, not only are people complaining about sitting at home they're also complaining about people who don't for whatever reason.

Here's an example of the former:

Instead, on 3/6 Trump told the media “ if you want a test, you can get a test” within minutes of Pence announcing “ there are not enough tests”.

Now states, hospital healthcare systems and the Federal Government are scrambling and competing for the same. resources

When a # 1 Trump fan boy, Brit Humes/ Fox News, describes Trump’s rhetoric as “ meandering, vague, boastful and misleading”, you know there is a problem.

The tone is set at the top, always.

We got Pence hopping AF2 this week to Mn to meet with 3M to increase production of masks. . Joe Blow in Purchasing could have done this in January.

We now listen to Trump tell us he’s now a war time president and we are supposed to applaud him for a challenge his own inaction made worse, by inaction. Yeah, look over there, it’s the Chinese Virus.

Trump did not cause Corona. Trump cannot control Corona. Trump cannot cure Corona. We can’t rewrite history.
The risks being experienced on the front line of healthcare are very real.

Yup.
Some people just ain't happy unless they've got a face like a bulldog licking pee off a stinging nettle.

Do us all a favour and stop whining.
Your government is doing the best it can to cope with an unprecedented global pandemic that no-one could have predicted.
We're all in the same boat and unless you're currently in an ICU fighting for every breath with a raging temperature there is always someone a lot worse off than you are now.
During the Second World War millions of people spent five years with virtually no food while being bombed and shot at and not knowing if their husbands,sons and fathers were being killed and they didn't do half the snivelling that you are doing now.
It is not a hardship to sit on your sofa watching TV and ordering stuff off Amazon.
