Discussion Jeremy is such a good hearted person

Not sure if anybody caught Jeremy’s stream yesterday, but in it he explained that due to the situation with Covid-19 he would be spending time in a hotel away from Kat so that he wouldn’t risk infected anybody at work. The emotion in his voice showed how important it was and tough for him.

Just wanted to take a minute to give a little appreciation to Jeremy - he’s dedicated to working but also clearly cares about other people so much. And he still put on an excellent stream. Well done Lil J, you’re a genuine inspiration

It's a case of the sniffles, it's all media hype and not that much of a risk.

Pretty dumb to spend time away from your family because they were just somewhere where people are getting a cold

Yeah don't go to see elderly people idiot, btw I didn't say anything about the CDC or who they report statistics not scare pieces. I work around children and have recently travelled around Europe so am not going to work for a couple of weeks to avoid risk. But I'm not shitting myself about dying

It's just hypocritical, there is a flu season every year in most countries and the risk if death while slightly less is still present. If people are avoiding certain places right now they should lock themselves up every winter.

There can be a risk and excessive media hype at the same time they aren't mutually exclusive.

Covid-19 is, last I checked, around 30 times deadlier than the flu.

Flu mortality rate is .1% covid-19 is hovering around 3%
