LOL! that was a laugh i needed! yeah i'm fine and so is everyone else i know…although i did have a 72 hour sort of illness at the time of posting….

plague inc.
Meh, still waiting for the virus that turns people into zombies
S.A.R.S…
OHH NO!!! I am shitting my pants!!!
LMAO…FAR FROM IT…FUCK THIS VIRUS. DON'T BE SCARE..
DRINK SOME colloidal SILVER AND forget ABOUT THIS BULLCRAP.
Sneezing symptom mutated. Novel coronavirus developed the sneezing symptom without using DNA points.
Er, dude? Colloidal silver has no use in the human body, and will only turn you blue if you drink it often
to me it seems like whenever humans cure a terrible disease or find an inhibitor to slow the diseases progress, a new and more terrifying virus/barceria/fugus comes along and continues where the previous disease left off.
That's what I see
Yeah after it killed millions of people.
That virus is around since the thirties, it goes by the name television.
Yes, but a lot fewer people die these days because we have exterminated the really bad ones. This is just hyped up and people are scared there is going to come a new really bad virus. To this day, I can say with certainty there has not been any plague that killed 4 of the 7 billion people on Earth.
Its started in Saudi Arabia!? Every plague incers favorite place to start a disease
Real Life Plague Inc.
OH MY GOD! STOP TRAVELING TO OTHER PLACES IF YOU HAVE A DISEASE WE DONT WANT YOUR BULLSHIT LIFE STEALING JUNK ON OUR CITIES AND TOWNS!
MERS
Nothing good comes from the middle east
Oh shit, here we go again!
..so what's the official name off this virus?
WHO needs to name their viruses properly.
2002-CoV ( SARS)
2012-nCoV (MERS)
2020-n2CoV( WuVirus)
