My Boyfriend Died of COVID-19

TONG SHENG WOULDVE BEEN AN EXCELLENT HUSBAND...I GRIEVE NOW FOR A MAN I NEVER KNEW...THE WORLD REALLY SUCKS!

[@themadhousediaries]

Imagine the pain of people who have to carry their loved ones in their heart forever. And the days that will never come. And a part of you grives for the rest of your life. It is a strange kind of disappointment. All your dreams vanish like smoke. Your future suddenly goes all dark and you just don't know what to do with life. It's difficult to decide what's worst. The pain of what never will be or the sadness of loss.

[@soundknight]

It is precisely this suffering which makes it worth living, for without pain there can be no joy, without struggle there can be no life.

[@quentinambrose7570]

That might be the best phrase I've heard "grieve now for a man I never knew." Thank you for giving word to that feeling. I hadn't cried until now since this started. I haven't lost anyone yet, anyone close to me, but I think everyone looking around is grieving for one another. We are all here for the people we do not and now never will know.

For fucks sake, take note of the reality of the situation. We are not living infantasy, this is raw reality. People are dying, doctors and nurses are trying their best despite them also contracting the virus. Do you seriously think it's fake when these doctors and nurses have to witness deaths of the elderly, the young and children? Do you seriously think that it's fake when it's literally affecting everyone and everything? Just a the pandemics of the past, this one took the world by quickly. With the advances in medicine, do you think you would have suspected something like this to happen? No, but it did beacause viruses are trickier to handle, despite the advances in medicine.

Will you simply shrug and say they weren't entitled to more time? Many doctors and nurses have died saving others. Those are truly tragic losses to those near to them, their colleagues and society. Now 20,000 have died in Britain, mostly unnecessarily because our government did not prepare and did not put in place measures that would have stopped the virus from spreading. Look at Greece, South Korea and Germany. All dealt efficiently with the virus except that selfish idiots in Germany are now rebelling against the restrictions.

Notyourtealmao Regardless of politics and everything else, two days ago didn’t he say he was considering the potential viability of injecting selves with bleach as a cure for coronavirus? The chemical used for cleaning your toilet and the many organisms that inhabit it, and thus would also kill any organisms living inside YOU? The bottles literally have precautions saying do not consume, and immediately what to do if you do accidentally drink some. And people have committed or attempted suicide by taking bleach, as it’s so accessible. Now you can say he blundered and meant to say...I don’t know what he could have been attempting to say that is similar to bleach and logical...but there is a difference between making a simple mistake and making an idiotic and very dangerous one. He essentially just told his country’s citizens stuck at home that taking a chemical equivalent to poison (also inject it? How? People just have hypodermic sterile needles lying around their house?) could be the ‘cure’ in such desperate times where people will go to any measures. Though to be honest, this isn’t really showing him being directly malicious unless he has a long term plan to eliminate his entire country’s populus given how the US has the official highest numbers (and even in the very likely chance that China should have more too, so will every country-just like swine flu in 2009, which started in Mexico and proliferated most greatly in America, where the confirmed vs estimated death tolls are literally hundreds of thousands of cases apart (official are around 18,500 whilst WHO estimated around 200,000). Only believing China is the one with wrong numbers is invalid, they’re all inaccurate.), but it is very stupid behaviour for a POTUS to undertake that the whole country should be looking up to in these times. And he’s done many other worrying things in his leadership and the state of healthcare for this coronavirus has been unfathomably terrible, he continues to talk about trying to save the economy whilst his initial ‘coronavirus is a hoax and unimportant’ stance led to a delay in preparations for the pandemic that ultimately allowed the disease to exponentially rise in the first place, which would only ironically harm the economy more than if they had take a more hardline stance on it since the first cases and taken it seriously like in south korea and new zealand. His poor and often intellectually impaired decisions will cost hundreds of thousands of lives and countless more dollars to the economy, given coronavirus is already much, much bigger than swine flu. He shouldn’t worry too much though, cause from the looks of things the next global recession is about to hit so we’re all gonna be in the dump pretty soon.

@fadfjk; ar;envlakrndv;ervnernvkevnrljnkdv As far as I can tell, my comment got censored because I said "what the f is wrong with you" but I'm going to say this again. Far more white people are being racist towards Asian Americans because of COVID19, but you attack a random black lady because of some alleged Black people attacking someone? Black people tend to like Asian people, food, music, movies, etc, yet Asian people continue to look down on them and treat them like they're beasts. And speaking for all Asian Americans, we do not agree with you and would like you to stop. Chinese businesses and landlords are literally throwing African students out onto the street and blaming them for COVID19. It's psychosis, at this point. There are not enough African Americans to be the sole source of terror for Asian Americans, and in fact, most African Americans have been standing up against these racist Trumpites on behalf of Asian Americans. Antiblack Asian people are trash, and while I doubt you're actually Asian, you represent the worst of Asian antiblackness and you should be ashamed. Also, reporting you for abuse.

In transit she fell ill, and talked to airline staff who advised her get to get off the plane at Singapore. By the next day she was quarantined with Covid-19. She spent 1 month in hospital recovering, during which time the Australian government passed a travel ban on all non-citizens / permanent residents. I miss her so much, not knowing when I'll see her again is so painful... but then I'm reminded that she survived, when so many others didnt.

It's not so that they can go out and have fun. It's not even for the sake of that "Freedom" they worship like a god. It's because they can't afford to pay their bills.

It saddens me how most people aren't educated enough to come up with another reason why people would protest lockdown. Shows you how one sided and closed minded you really are. People will starve and kill themselves in their houses. They won't have enough for food and they won't be at work to make food. You can't eat the money that the govt is handing out.

The ventilator is what killed him not the virus. It's not even lethal like the mainstream media is reporting. Doctors and nurses are coming forth and saying that a ventilator should be the last resort to help a patient, but their higher authorities (The CDC)recommend that they put people on ventilators knowing that it's going to kill them. Your loved one was murdered. Do you own research on these issues you'll realize that what I'm saying is the truth.

[@heidia2199]

The provider care guidelines are a moving target. Initially we were supposed to elbow bump instead of shake hands. But then we learned aerosols come out with normal talking and linger for 2-3 hours in the air. So stay 6 feet apart, wear DIY masks that protect others but not you. But never mind that - let's open close contact businesses (hair salon, massage, tattoo, etc). Don't use the restroom there because COVID-19 comes out in fecal matter. You can reduce the transmission by 80% by closing the lid for at least 2 minutes. Most public restrooms don't even have lids. It's overwhelming, this invisible enemy.

Problem is that this family of viruses is pretty labile, so it changes frequently, like the common cold or the flu. Even strains that haven't been this bad usually go without vaccines because it's so versatile. I think this means that this epidemic will go on for a few more years before it settles down, and then there will be flareups until about the end of the century. I didn't think we'd look back on the last 20 years as the Good Old Days, but *fuck,* by comparison, they're starting to look that way.
