I’ve heard the opposite. People gaining weight.

When you think of viruses, they are strange. They are kind of living things, but also not living things in the way we think so. Viruses don’t have a soul. Yet also must follow “survival of the fittest”, like any other biological creature. People also forget how many viruses exist in the world that serve important ecological functions, and aren’t associated with human diseases.

Classifying ShiaChat as “social media” is somewhat a grey area. Anyway, wish you the best.

Statistically speaking, more recover than die from the virus. Access to proper supportive health care surely improves those odds.

There’s a way to simplify it.

Poll could be cleaned up by showing a few broad language groups, then members post the exact language in the topic.

Long copy/paste is not helpful. Most people won’t read the whole thing. It would be better if you quoted a few small selections of interest, then a link for those who want to read the whole thing. Doing some editorializing takes a little extra work, but it gives higher reader satisfaction then text dumping and putting the burden on the reader. Also, the aforementioned event in film form:

A member must have 25 posts before mod approval is removed. It’s an automatic feature of the system to prevent spammers.

Lots of food delivery services from restaurants/supermarkets offering free delivery.

Interesting idea, but not feasible on this forum.

Let’s give this a try, since everyone’s at home: Let’s do a debate. You guys decide on the topic, participants, and rules. I’ll make a special topic where only debate participants and mod posts will be approved. We’ll make a poll to decide who “won” (more convincing). If anyone wants to volunteer, say it here.

Thinking about it, places like Facebook show people’s real names and pictures, and what they post. More valuable information than a modest anonymous forum like this.

Lecturers do not have to wear clerical robes. Also it’s about a decent livelihood, not about being rich.
