    If widely reported more people would be invested or empathize with those stories as well I guess.

    However I think this has become so big not because the protagonists are wealthy but mainly because it's not something that happens frequently and it's linked to a very well known disaster.  And it's a bit of an absurd situation. $250000 a seat in a device controlled with an Xbox pad ffs. I think it would still be all over the news if it was a group of students on a budget with a homemade device.

    Also, the most appealing factor I guess it's the mistery linked to it, everyone is wondering what actually happened to this sub, are these people still alive and if not, how did they die.

    If the actor of the year with his offshore accounts only truly cared about his people instead of trying to drag the rest of the world in a global nuclear suicide, he would have already reached an agreement.

    He should go back strutting around in high heels in a music video, suits him better. His very clever writing team may be able to win a communication war, leveraging on the emotions of most of the countries the man of the year made his pleas to, but as far as actually winning the battle against Putin is concerned, that cannot be won with soundbites.

    Wars are very lucrative: armaments, weapon manufacturers stocks have all gone up. Who benefits the most in warfare? Rethorical question.

    Meanwhile more innocent people are displaced, exploited (human trafficking, prostitution), injured, killed, completely fucked over. For the sake of what?

    Yeah because it's that simple, just "reach an agreement". There is no reaching an agreement with Putin, his demands are beyond absurd and besides that, he can't even be trusted to follow on any signed deal!

  3. I don't blame that nurse one bit. She did not sign up for this crap, to sacrifice her own life or risk her kids life or her family's life. When health workers sign up for this job they are told they will have the adequate protection, supplies. They DON'T. So how can you judge her for prioritizing her own health?

    I started to go from extreme anxiety, fear & panic in these past few weeks to just feeling numb. I’ve stopped trying to see anything in the future. I can’t. I am taking it day by day. Keeping informed (those briefings by NY Gov Cuomo are informative and coherent) but then also watching something else. Or listening to Madonna. Yesterday it was Pink Floyd. 
     

    Ive also began to think about all the things I’m grateful for. That helps too. 
     

    I don’t have many friends. Most of my family are dead. So I’m kinda used to being on my own. It was almost like everything I’ve dealt with these past few years or so has kinda prepared me for this terrible situation. It just took a few weeks to put it all into perspective. 
     

    I read the stories from everyone in this thread and it’s heartbreaking and I pray for all of you that we make it all to the other side of this! 
     

    Peace and love to you all. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

    ❤️🙏

    However this type of situation worsen if we tend to focus too much on the negative, it's like worrying attracts more trouble, if it makes sense :laugh: 😘 That's what I meant

    Yes it makes sense, and I think that when this is over a lot of us will need psychological help

    Andra, I can totally relate to those awful feelings too but keeping our spirits up and not dreading the worse and worrying in advance it's the only thing that's going to protect us emotionally and mentally, aside from social distancing etc

    I'm sure we'll survive ❤️

    @XXL, I adore u!! I know that you are totally right, It's just hard for me to be rational these days...lmao,  I'm totally the type of person who worries in advance and thinks up the worst case scenarios to the point that I mentally exhaust myself.

    But yes, we will survive!❤️🙏

  7. Take care @ULIZOS! I hope you will feel better very soon! hugs!!!!

    I've been somatizing and having panic attacks every night tbh, the thought that hospitals over here are full and if for some reason you might need help you have to go to the hospital and risk getting infected is been sending me into full freak out mode.

    I haven't posted (properly) on the forum for weeks (even months) due to personal issues, but this whole thing is terrifying.

    Not only am I worried sick about leaving the house to try and get some basic food supplies (that may not even be on the shelves), but i'm also terrified because people with Asthma suffer a higher risk of complications if they catch it.

    Thankfully, I bought my little dog her usual sack of food three weeks ago, so it'll be enough to last her for the next 5 -6 months, but this whole thing is like something from a horror movie.

    Anyway, stay safe everyone, and try to stay calm and don't panic.

    Big hugs Crux! We will get through this.
