    We've reached a peak today with the COVID-19, the whole day was a roll of breaking news and announcements regarding the current situation. I think its a good thing, the whole World seems to take this very seriously and many countries/cities are taking action to stop the virus as quickly as possible.

    How many events in the History ended up with "We could have done more" ...

    If you dont really care about the COVID-19 or think this isnt that bad, dont forget that thing has the potential to plunge us all into a recession... and that would affect EVERYONE. Its one of the reason why its so important to stop it as quick as possible.

    I know I compared it to common flu a few days ago and some of you thought i was banalising it, yeah its true i thought the medias and the people was overreacting a bit back then, but now i understand how important it is to take action now to stop it quickly.

    • We have an ethical duty to stop climate change, the human species is not in danger.deadsperm

    • I am aware of the impact of climate change.
      I asked "how climate change is directly killing humans at the moment" ...      deadsperm
    • ... because that is the situation you are comparing it to now. I was trying for you to understand why people don't see it as "urgent".deadsperm
    • The people affected by climate change are in the margins while COVID-19 is affecting even the most privileged. And even then they don't take it seriously.deadsperm
