Emotional responses to the Covid-19 virus vary. For example VCT forum member afwonbt is interested in selling his J646E (semi-rare category) Monopoly game piece:

Personally I am still not worried about the virus but it is a good excuse to tell people to leave me alone.
Also I can be lazy and tell my wife I am not going outside to get sick.
That way I don't have to go buy the 79 cent on sale chicken or do other chores.
Like I say I am infinity times more worried about the economic repercussions and the possibility of Total Martial Law.
I don't see how we can avoid either if they keep up this pressure.
I am already starting to see some signs of people and cabin fever.
The American Public can not handle being forced to stay in their houses.
You know that we in America have this mentality of "Your not going to tell me what to do!!"
I do worry the general public will give up more liberty to get temporary safety though.
I have a feeling that as this Covid-19 thing goes on, more and more people will be flying to Antarctica to stay safe. Anctartica may become the safest place in the world despite being way too damn cold...

Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.

Wise is knowing a Tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
I am glad to get my full posting rights back! Thank you Dan!
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
I guess that that is how it started here, except that we were less careful. Are they calling it a hoax, over there, either? I don't think so.
I imagine that a lot of it goes undocumented there.
And, that it may be only a matter of time for also them. It could be that we have the virus in our systems for a month before it does anything.

A month ago, the president described the virus threat as "15 people, going down, towards zero."
The strangest element of all of this is that people, not just here in this forum but here around me in Tennessee, were in active and passive denial how bad this was going to be all along. It did not take any particular special skills to figure this out.
China did not figure to be particularly different from the U.S. Italy and Iran did not figure to be particularly different. All you had to do was read a little international news, read a few background pieces on pandemics, and follow what the publicly available experts were saying. It was also useful to ignore whatever was being said, and how it was being said, on Fox up until less than three weeks ago. Fox, if you'll notice, usually filters their experts by political affiliation, not expertise.
I'm a layman. I'm not an optimist. I had this timeline and projections almost precisely the entire way. All it took was reading international articles and listening to actual experts. All it took was having an actual respect for science and being able to ignore the president, who finally came clean yesterday. Hey, if I tracked this almost exactly the whole way, you think he was getting worse information than me?
Not likely.

I’m starting to agree, this is much worse than anybody could have ever predicted. I mean just this morning I read where it took out the last survivor from the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. She died yesterday from coronavirus. She was 108 years old. Yes, you heard that right, she was 108! The Spanish flu couldn’t get her, but the coronavirus did. Check it out, you can find the article in the New York Post.
Just think if we would have only had more ventilators around we might have been able to keep her around another 8 days so she could have died of old age. How said, Trump robbed her of the last 8 days of her life.
When will we finally get socialized medicine in our country to take care of these egregious problems in our system? I’m tired of hearing about 108 year old people dying before their time.

This proves it's a scam from Hawaii to NYC.
