Epic seems like a strong word

Anytime you fly or anytime you breathe there are actually thousands upon thousands of bacteria and viruses that could kill you but don't. You'll be OK.

Dont fly to china and you should be fine.

This shouldn't be downplayed either. The pace of infections are accelerating rapidly. And unlike sars, someone can infect others within the incubation period of the virus. So even if you are asymptomatic, if you have the virus chances are good you've already infected multiple people before the 2 week incubation period runs.

Less then 70 people died during the SARS “epidermic”. If you’re old enough to remember, it was a joke.

This is a joke right? If not it's incredibly stupid and also factually incorrect. The death toll was around 800, not 70. Are we not even able to do a simple Google search anymore?

No one got it from being on the same plane as someone else. It’s usually only through family or people in close contact. So unless you’re making out with the coughing guy next to you, you’ll be fine. Pack a mask in case the guy next to you is coughy.

My wife and I are trying to have our first baby. She is ovulating this week. We’ve done it twice since she started ovulating this week. Night before last she wanted to and I said I wasn’t up for it. And she said okay. She wanted to again last night and I said I wasn’t up for it. She got really upset and after a long conversation happened, we left it at: “Wife ovulating>whether or not either one of us wants to have sex”. Is this normal?

Feeling a bit down today. Yet another friend just told me she is pregnant — not a complete surprise, I suspected when I saw her on a prior socially-distanced outing. But still frustrated at myself.

Just feels like everyone around me is getting pregnant while for me, it’s still issue after issue popping up. Also reminded of the fact that I had a miscarriage a year ago this time.
