Forum Support scott h Posted February 22, 2020 Forum Support Posted February 22, 2020 what gets me is the herd mentality, when the huge majority of deaths are folks over 60 with preexisting conditions So far, 80 per cent of victims were elderly individuals aged 60 or above and 75 per cent had pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes, the National Health Commission said Tuesday (Feb 4) https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/wuhan-virus-coronavirus-what-we-know-about-the-fatalities-12390814 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they believe it will help prevent them catching the virus. They may well be wrong in their belief but I guess that's the answer to the question.

For those who do not qualify as above: How many here regularly visit someone who is aged 60 and above with health conditions and would feel guilty as hell if they picked up this virus and spread it to them? And as a final conclusion. How many want to take the chance that they will be a part of the healthy popuation who catch it and kick the bucket (like the 39 year old doctor who discovered the disease) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopee is very good about refunds. Until you mark the shipment "received", they hold the money, not the seller. I have had to cancel a couple orders and the money always goes into my account that day, or the next. I wear a mask on the jeepney during the dry season. For the dust, not for germs. I have one of the spongy black masks, not the little paper mask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give you a shoppee "wallet" where they keep your cash until you spend it at another shoppee outlet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
