"they have to do this to entertain" they're tiktokers. TIKTOKERS. they can make a 5 second video sitting alone in their room and get millions of views. it is literally the EASIEST JOB TO DO ALONE AT HOME.
People who act on selfish needs during the pandemics such as going to parties or large gatherings of more than 10 people really don’t understand the severity of their actions. I haven’t seen my grandpa and he died last month, alone because of COVID-19 restrictions. I was hurting so bad from the news and I still am angry today that because people couldn’t at least try to stay home and isolate themselves until numbers go down baffles me. The United States is a joke. Everyone has been affected by the virus in so many ways even if you are not tested positive with it. We are all in the same boat in this pandemic, but some of us are deciding to run us to rough waters by their own selfish needs.
Jenny Ngo I’m sorry for your loss. I lost a cousin. I can empathize. It’s not fair.
I haven't lost anyone, and hopefully won't, but I'm scared for my grandma with horrible health. She wouldn't survive covid if she got it. She would die. No question. I'm so sorry for both of your losses
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
I’m sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss...
I don't live in the United States but our statistics are up there. As a person who also almost lost her grandpa, I understand your bafflement, grief, and frustration. I hope you and your family and friends are in good health :)
I always love that Ben does not give a crap about how he speaks regarding influencers, and calling them out on their bullshit. It’s really cute how Cristine goes “BENNN!” Because she knows that it would be bad for her to talk shit, even though she wholeheartedly agrees with him, and they definitely talk about this stuff in private frequently.
Thank you for calling these people out, like holy shit, it frustrates me sooo much. Apparently COVID doesn't effect the rich young influencers and is only a poor/middle class person's problem? Clearly the message they are sending to people everywhere....You summarized it so well Cristine ugh, why can't these stupid and stuck-up influencers be smart like you and Ben smhhh.
I'm just waiting for someone close to them to die or someone in the same status as them to die and then maybe they'll take it seriously but even then I highly doubt they will
i don’t understand the whole “it’s our job to entertain” but like they aren’t vlogging those parties, they aren’t promoting anything. those parties r for themselves not their audience, who pay their bills. it’s just selfish. just wear a mask and distance. it’s not hard. i’m terrified to go to school on wednesday, because i know ppl will be having corona parties, and cough on each other. i saw on snapchat 2 days ago someone i know was at a party of 110 people, they are 16 btw so not of legal age to drink so it’s already bad, but then the next day i saw them working their grocery store job.
They could literally stay home and "dance" on tiktok
Let me just explain my level of rage:
I was turning 17 in April this year, and we were in self isolation because my father had covid and we had to live in the same 3 bedroom apartment. I couldn't even celebrate with the people I live with because my father was trying not to give us the virus and was living in a 6 square meter room for the past 15 days. A birthday party is not that important to me but this still sucked. So when I hear that idiots have a million people over for a stupid birthday party, it makes me very angry, because it reminds me how I couldn't even have the people I love the most with me.
I agree this happened to me too i turned 15 this year and i couldn't do anything or go anywhere because i live in a apartment and my next door neighbours had the virus .... Atleast i got to celebrate with my parents ... Anyway i hope you had a good bday
@@maitreyeenabar1754 thanks, it was sad but it was ok :)
I think calling people who disregard the pandemic stupid is to lenient. Stupid implies they don't know any better, or that they can't understand the stakes. I just call them selfish. I've burned some bridges at work calling people out but it needs to be done. If you won't wear a mask (keyword won't) and you refuse to social distance you're a selfish person period.
strayiggyTV selfish is the perfect word to describe these people
Malignant selfishness.
I’ve always thought that ignorant was the word that described whether someone doesn’t know any better or don’t understand. Stupid is a lack of intelligence and common sense. Which I think covers it. They are selfish as well. Stupid because they don’t seem to be smart enough to comprehend why it’s the best for them and others and selfish because they’re just doing what they want to.
It’s just a flu. I don’t always wear a mask either. Just because people like you are afraid doesn’t mean that everyone needs to throw their life in the garbage.
EXIT-ORION I’ve seen you reply to a few comments here. But you don’t seem to be telling the people who have commented that they’ve lost loved ones to COVID to “relax” or that it’s “just a flu.” Maybe go see what they think? Or is it worth it to you to have a few thousand elderly or immunocompromised people die so you don’t have to “throw your life in the garbage” by wearing a mask and distancing for a while?
This podcast literally makes my day
Same 💙
Mentally, Emotionally - I am a people person - This year has been REALLY hard on me. I wish I could just go out and hang with whoever I want. Conventions and events are always the highlight of my year. But I don't have the selfishness to parties and events right now. My mom is immunocompromised, my grandma is ill right now, and I am also immunocompromised. I don't have the luxury to not care about others. And it aggravates me.This could have been over and we could have been living a normal life if there weren't selfish people in the world.
I couldn't stand the idea of me infecting someone else and getting them severely ill or killing them.......for the sake of "I was bored". Let alone all those implications of long-term lung damage, especially for asymptomatic people!
Just a note: I work in retail as a chef in a small local whole food store. I have a staff of 2, one mom a little younger than I and a college kiddo. I, myself, am immuno-compromised (I have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis). In the kitchen, I share space with my staff and 3 other people. Throughout the pandemic, I have considered these people my "bubble" and we wear masks, wash hands, sanitize areas, and keep our distance. Not one of us has had the first sign of symptoms. Until the college kiddo went out for a week for her birthday with her friends a couple weeks ago... Guess who has tested positive?! The 19 year old college kid who isn't social distancing and is instead using Air B&B to have get togethers with her friends. Yeah. Parties are an awesome idea.
Many people in my family are high risk and my pregnant sister caught it. My friends don't understand why I'm taking it so seriously! It's so annoying!
COVID taught me that it’s okay to drink alone and sit in my house watching Letterkenny on a Friday night instead of being at the bars in my college town
People need to start thinking “I don’t want someone to die or become ill because of ME”
*just stay home*
It was my birthday the last week, I always do something to celebrate it in some kind of way. Not this year. Having everyone that I love healthy and safe it's more than enough.
My birthday was the same day as Cristine's but i had exams
I’m turning 18 in November, and since my class graduated in 2020, almost all of my friends are scattered around the world due to Colleges, and I’m more susceptible to Covid-19 than others (my mom is too), we’re likely not going to
celebrate my birthday at all this year. If we can do it, while living in LA, then I’m fairly certain big influencers can too.
I agree with you. I don't have the means to stay at home since I work in healthcare, but I do my best to social distance and limit my going out (aside from work and groceries). I'm immunocompromised, as are my parents. I'm scared of bringing something home. I've already lost a family member to covid.
All the influencers throwing these parties really make me frustrated. They're putting themselves and those around them at risk.
Sorry for the rant.
I'm so sorry. We all appreciate you tremendously.
@@cameronzemail Thank you!
Ben and Cristine are good people, not wishing these stupid people to get sick of Covid. I, however, am not. I do hope they get sick and have bad symptoms. I do wish though that they don't infect innocent people.
Ben's point at 4:18 is so what I think happened in the UK. The prime minister gets it after telling everyone he's going to keep shaking people's hands. People started thinking, oh dang, I could get this. Then a member of Parliament gets caught breaking lockdown rules, and the gov defend him with stupid excuses,then the public stopped following the rules so well. We need good role models in the public eye
LOL and speaking about birthdays!!! as a LEO ... where we like attention during out bdays... i did NOTHING. i usually go out to karaoke or the club and dinners or all three during a weekend lmaooo my family and i with my fiance had a socially distanced picnic in a remote park and thats it. it was also like the only time i had any sort of alcohol this whole quarantine. its very frustrating that ppl are prolonging our suffering. it did not have to be this way. if there was a stricter lockdown this could have been much less severe. but nope. people want to keep on being selfish. and now that its going to start getting colder, those park hangouts and picnics wont be much of an option anymore. so i expect another wave with more house parties -_-
This makes me sad, because I’m a server and I’ve been given shit by customers or republicans for wanting people to wear a mask. Their logic being: “if you’re scared of this virus then you should quit your job and give it to someone who wants it”
I, a 20 year old college student, ended up with the Rona in a hospital one night due to my shitty lungs. Personally, I social distanced to protect myself and those around me. But my school forced us to return for face-to-face classes.
I appreciate y’all validating people who live alone going out sparingly. I work in retail but have been working at home for 6 months and recently went to a beer garden with one friend, sat outside, and sat in my friend’s section. I feel guilty but it gave me such a morale boost. It was my first social outing since March 1st. My company mails us tests weekly so I know I’ve been in good health for months but that in no way affects my behavior.
My friends at the beach or parties make me sad and I no longer can even get mad. They know. I can’t yell anymore. We can only control ourselves. my insta stories stay pretty lit tho 🔥
love the content & respect the grind but cristine please don't feel the need to "overcompensate" for lack of regular, simplypufflogical-canceled content with all this!!
Y’all, maybe Ben is editing and posting 😆
You know half the conversations at these parties are centered around how they shouldn't be at that party.
as someone who is extremely immunocompromised, it makes me so angry when I see others partying or not taking proper measures to keep everyone around them safe.
I'm so glad they acknowledge the affect living in a small house with your family can have in your mental health
Nearly all the trending videos are people coming together to collab with other people, sometimes in large groups. There are also loads of hauls, where they've actually gone out for frivolous purchases for views.
I’m 19, I work and go to college. I was in quarantine for about 3 months and I’m still afraid to go out to places I don’t go to normally. I live in Texas and there are still people who refuse to wear masks, social distance, or do anything to stay safe. I’m pretty I’d be ok, but my dad is at pretty high risk due to some health issues he’s had since he was a kid. I could never forgive myself if I was the one who got him sick by being a carrier. Do these influencers have anyone like that? Anyone who could be in danger? Anyone who they care about? Them partying tells me that they don’t care if their loved ones die. I’m sure they would care, but as they say actions speak louder than words and I’m tired of listening to their words bc they just repeat the same crap over and over again. I’m sick of it, fuck these people and fuck this year.
✨James Charles✨Charlie and Dixie✨
People with HUGE platforms, you never see them really wearing masks. All have attended parties. All have never really apologized or set a good example. Still haven’t. James posts videos of them all together. James continuously has done collabs through the whole year and has not done a virtual collab like other respectable YTers. Also went on vacation and didn’t quarantine like you’re supposed to in Hawaii 👍🏻👍🏻 but people still idolize him. I think he has his comments filtered or something because mine always disappear and so do other people who call him out.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Did anyone heard what Ariana grande said in an interview, she called out tiktokers and other people for going to restaurants and partying, at least Ariana being the responsible adult but some people still don’t listen, I agree with Christian, Ben, ari, and the rest of people who could be affected really badly by covid
It's so frustrating to watch all these young people partying. I am (thankfully) young and healthy and have been essentially taking care of my grandparents since March. They are high risk and I want to keep them safe, and seeing people putting the most vulnerable at risk is really infuriating.
I know so many adults in between the ages of 20-60 who refuse to wear a mask. It makes me so angry. My family had to do a six month quarantine 10 years ago when our son was born. If he were to get this he would be no more. It just blows my mind how selfish people are, or the people who are trying to justify why this pandemic isn't as bad as the scientific community and the rest of the world says it is.
You aren't magical because you haven't caught this virus and died from it, you are lucky or you may have it and are walking around asymptomatic spreading it willynilly to your loved ones and random essential services workers and their families.
There are 5 adults and no kids in my house. 4 of us are immunocompromised. The one who is not is in the service industry, and nearly wiped out her savings on a motel nearby when there was a potential contact scare at her restaurant. There was a two year plan in place for a 40th birthday party in July. We cancelled it. I haven't seen my brother or sister's families since March. We're trying to figure out how to Zoom Thanksgiving, since the only decent cooks in my family live in my house. It's hard. It sucks. We're paying a small fortune in grocery delivery fees. We have no regrets.
me and my friends relationship is so at risk due to this pandemic and seeing these "influencers" party and go out with their friends HURT ME. me and my friend has been SO close to breaking up cause we no longer have this physical or mental bond together and it seems like we have also changed due to covid, our moods and temper get the best of us and it could lead to a break up we will regret. we are okay right now, trying to talk and reconnect through face time BUT again, these people who go out just to hang out with their friends and "do their job" makes me so frustrated ITS NOT even funny😫🤬😡
my brother's housing has been under lockdown for almost 10 days now under the government order. like wire barred blocked road kinda situation . they gave out food supplies and free testing for the people just so we can fight this virus.
We live in a small house, there’s four of us, my husband, my two kids, and I. We’ve been quarantined since March. We don’t go out unless it’s necessary. To the grocery store, to work, or school (when it’s face 2 face). And I’m going completely crazy. But I’m still staying home. People with money going on elaborate vacations and having parties with 100’s of people makes me so mad. Especially when all we’re trying to do is survive.
I am extremely extroverted. I stayed inside and went no where until June. THEN I created my bubble of 5 friends. And when we go out? We where our frickin masks. Being extroverted is NOT an excuse.
I never comment on videos but this topic really struck to me. I work for a homecare company here in the Netherlands and last week we got a call that one of our patient had passed away cause of covid-19. Their granddaughter had been tested positive for covid-19 and has been partying on the low all while she also has been visiting her grandfather. I cant imagine how she must feel right now. People forget that this social distancing is not only for their safety but also for everyone around them.
I do get that a lot of young people haven’t taken this as seriously as they should’ve, however, I can’t say I agree with the generalisation that it’s mainly young people.
I work in a popular bar chain in the U.K., cheap booze, cheap food, and pretty good for drinking with friends. Unfortunately the main people I see breaking rules are usually the 50+ age group, they won’t wear masks, socially distance, and they seriously do not like the drink limit in some parts of the U.K.
As a 19 year old living alone, I don’t leave the house unless it’s for work, because I understand that the virus is incredibly serious. All of my close friends also understand the risks so we stick to video calls.
Young people are definitely a reason this is spreading, and I’m not entirely sure how different the situation is in America and Canada, but I think people are completely overlooking the older generation who are, at times , incredibly stubborn.
I've been to my brother's place and to my relatives house during this pandemic, even though they aren't infected I still feel wrong for visiting them. I even went to my bf's sister gender reveal, which I was hesitant about but felt like jerk if I didn't attend. I feel guilty of socializing too much, and it's good to bring awareness to the issue.
A lot of those (young) influencers are narcissists and their behaviour just confirmed it.
Cristine and Ben are not.
I'm in the same generation of these influencers and it has to be a regional sort of thing. I'm in north Carolina and I don't see my people doing this like they are
Mom and Dad are screaming the truth!!!
“Voices of reasonable people” - YES 👏🏼
People only take corona seriously when they or someone they love gets it
I live with several people in a small apartment but I've been in my house for 5 months straight and I know other people are not fortunate to be having to not be having mental health issues in this time but I feel like they are not just putting there health at risk but the health of others who are not as fortunate as them to at least to have a big house and need money so they need to work therefore putting there health at risk for others while other people who are NOT social distinsing and ruining the people who are social distancing and at least trying to keep people whom they dont even know safe
meanwhile I'm an introvert who is so starved on social interaction that I really miss parties and greeting people with a hug
I am happy right now, that Cristene and Ben are people that I look up to for such things. If I watched one of bad influencers that do things like going to parties and not wearing masks or social distancing, that would have been bad. I appreciate that Cristene is an responsible person and sets a good example for young people. She knows about things and isn’t an hypocrite like some of those influencers. I wish that online influencers were more responsible and know that so many young people take them as role model.
TikToker Bryce Hall was one of the people having parties in LA and he flew back to Maryland the week that my college went back to school, started causing a lot of people to all gather together in my college town and getting in fights with people, and now we got sent home for the rest of the semester.
What's the worst is when people have no remorse for what they're doing. You see stories practically weekly now on different celebrities who are defying the orders, and the basic rules of decency, and just don't give a crap. They think it's no big deal to go out and visit with their friends that they've been seeing all along their whole life. And was even more wrong about it is effect that they are bragging on social media and posting a ton of pictures. But when fans try to call these people out they clearly try to manipulate the situation and deny what actually happened. I'm glad that you came out and acknowledge does and called people out for doing this. It is one thing to still be word gay and posting videos and having your immediate people around you. But it's a whole different thing to be actively going out to the mall and out for ice cream and out with your friends everyday just because you are bored. I just wonder what it's going to take to get people to wake up and realize that what they're doing is a part of the problem, and not part of the solution.
I don’t know if anyone else thinks / sees this, but I find as things reopen influencers on Instagram and RUclips seem to have picked up and going about their day as it was before- like a couple of the ones I follow on Instagram are posting them going to their local gym and out to the mall and doing road trips around their province.... like it seems like companies are paying them to make it look like all is good. I’ve noticed this get worse as school is heading back.... but things aren’t normal, we are on a very fragile foundation of improvement and it makes me so uncomfortable to see these people pushing “normalcy” when you know it’s not.....
I think the fact that young adults don’t think they can be the ones who can died from COVID is the problem. I know a 27 who died. It’s not just your parents and grandparents who are at risk period
I'm a 2020 high school graduate and my school And basically everything in my state from restaurants to tattoo parlors to hair stylists literally all closed on my 18 the birthday. and I got over it. people don't need giant ass in person parties to celebrate And honestly if you do during this time you're selfish
There's absolutely NO excuse for being out and about no matter what your situation is. We are fortunate to be in a time where we have technology to be able to entertain ourselves. How hard is to stay home with your love ones and wait till it gets better?
I always think about how hard it must have being for people back in for example WWII hiding in tiny little spaces, with no internet, no cellphones, no tv, etc... Not even being able to shower on a regular basis or go to the restroom. And here we are, having every luxury we could possibly have but still going out. And even worse this famous youtubers and celebrities that have the possibility to work from home and live in big houses.
I rent a small room in Brooklyn, my entire family is in a different country, I am unemployed and haven't been able to meet ends since March. And I'm still not going out if is not absolutely necessary. No birthdays, no Thanksgiving, no nothing. I spent Xmas and new years by my self inside my tiny room. People don't see beyond their noses and that's infuriating.
Just know that there are people out there like myself that appreciate your sacrifice. It’s sad to see so many people inconsiderate of others. Especially since their actions prolong the pandemic. At least you know you are not part of the problem. Thank you again and I wish you the best.
I feel so responsible for doing what i have done for years. Hiding from people at home 😂
I live with someone who refuses to wear a mask, it's just more frustration on top of another with him.
Soooo grateful for you both.
It's also easy to lull yourself into thinking it's someone else's problem, until the problem comes to you. For over a year, there was a small family living in the apartment next door to me and they very rarely made any noise that I could hear. Then at some point during the pandemic they moved out, and they were replaced with a bunch of silicon valley tech bro losers, who invite groups of people into their apartment constantly to have loud parties with the music practically thumping through the walls.... I am also someone who currently works 7 days a week. I wish there was a caveat to the national eviction policy that excludes disrespectful losers like my current neighbours. Having parties is not a priority, or allowing people who may be infected into a community that's trying to protect themselves. I say evict them all; I haven't got time for the selfish. 😡🤬
You both are amazing people!!
Please don't attack me for this, as I'm not sure everyone will agree.
Being clear, I think the parties and large gatherings are ridiculous. Not wearing a mask (by choice) is selfish. Going to the mall is so dumb. All of these things and more are so stupid to me. I also live in Austin, Texas. Normally not wearing masks isn't a problem. But, 30 minutes outside, wearing a mask is the exception, not the norm. It makes me mad. Just to make all of that clear.
With that being said, I think socializing can be okay. Like I've met up with friends where we've socially distanced, sat/stood/stayed +6ft apart, always wore masks, were in our yards (so not a public place), and were outside (even in the Texas heat). I've only done this once and it massively improved my mental health. I think it's something that isn't necessarily a bad idea. Being clear, I'm only talking about this will all of those rules being strictly followed. So to people couped up this might work for you, but it might not.
BUT FRIGIN PARTIES MAKE ME SO MAD. I've seen what it has done to Texas. The University of Texas at Austin is back in-person and I'm waiting for the spike from Labor Day (college kids and adults alike). SOCIAL DISTANCE. DO WHAT YOU CAN.
Don't be selfish.
Zoe Klein yes! Distanced socializing is important, and can be done safely! But those idiotic parties 'justified' by their 'job' that are completely unsafe are putting public health at risk.
The 3 dislikes are from the few influencers that are throwing parties lol
Thank you for including the workers in the “those being exposed”. I work at Disney and although no I don’t need to I do love my job. That said it frustrates me when people don’t take this pandemic seriously and potentially expose themselves and possibly me. Like I know no one is perfect but minimizing going out and exposure vs having parties with hundreds is just...it’s just saddening cuz they do have the means NOT to do the things they are doing. 😓
the news needs to play this
I appreciate your realness through the veil of the internet and social media. The way you talk about your everyday life that is not shown in your videos and how that can change the perception of how viewers see their own lives and how not to compare to the edited version of what you show as your life. These real conversations are very refreshing
Finally someone who understands the severity of the situation
I know why. These rich influencers don't care about the rest of us who will suffer from it, and don't have the money for skyrocketing medical costs associated with the disease (if we can even survive it). They're selfish brats who see others as beneath them, and they don't care what happens to the rest of us.
Me and my dad live in a decent sized house but last night he went to sleep so early because he had nothing else to do "if I could I'd be out right now"
Thank you guys >.< it sucks because people are loosing their jobs, positions are being cut back, people in the service industry have to worry about health, about the stresses of working during the pandemic with people being rude, demanding, unnecessary and on top of that barely making money for the stuff thrown at us while they can’t wait to celebrate their birthdays 🙃
I celebrated my 21st birthday through a call with my friends and animal crossing. It's not that big of a deal. You can celebrate it again next year.
My birthday is coming and I planed on going to this place called sloomoo but now I think I am just going to go on a zoom and go to Michaels arts and crafts! These people are going to be fine if you need to see your friend then you can just do a zoom! There is this thing (app) where you can go on a zoom and watch a movie and you can pass the remote and stuff like they are so just DUMB!
Soo Covid is magically going to disappear next year?
I hope more influencers call out these kind of selfish acts, specially during this pandemic. Slay Holo King and Queen ✨
I wish every youyuber/tiktoker think like you guys😍
Just because they have money and influence they think that it's an excuse for this type of behavior. They'll just apologize once they gain negative attention or lose followers.
Or maybe because they’re sick of this shit and we need to go back to normal
@@Angelaaa1015 even if you get sick of the situation, it is not right to expose your family member and hundreds of individuals bcoz you just want to party. Every body is bloody sick if this pandemic but not everybody parties. Think of the greater good rather selfishly thinking about self gratification. Health workers are dying, thousands of individuals have already died. Who will take care of the sick when the hospital shuts down bcoz of insufficient staff? Among all the illness of the world, it's not only covid. People suffering from lifestyle related diseases, pts of vehicular accidrnts need health workers. Think about it. Everything is bat crazy right now but at least you can minimize incidents of infection if you just pause and think.
I didn't realise how much enjoyment taco Tuesday brought until it wasn't here. Apparently I really look forward to these podcasts and they make my whole week a little brighter. Hope your eyes are ok soon Cristine.
I live on my own in a shared house with only a bedroom to live in. I am glad I finally got a job that I can physically go to, but the fuller the trains get the more worried I am about it, despite the face masks. There is no real distancing at work and so far I have met up with only one friend during this time, on the beach, trying to keep our distance. But it was very clear other people weren't. I celebrated my 30th with just my family by going for a walk and lunch someone (is allowed). However, I work for a call centre where I am currently helping out air line customers with their issues around booking and cancelled flights. I definitely do not agree with travelling around Europe at this time. But I gotta work to make ends meet and pay rent, regardless if I agree about what I have to tell the other people on the phone while at work.
Wait ben, where did u get that sweatshirt??? Is so pretty
Wow, those types of influencers are actually called influenzas.
here where I live living spaces are very small, and my friends and i are lucky to have bigger apartments with our families already. most apartments have 2-3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom for whole families. my room is 2x2.5m and i basically live in there to do my work. we only really went out for groceries or when rules were more lax when cases were down. i feel really bad for people who have even smaller places, and have many people in one room trying to do school and work, because it can't be very fun. but these influencers have no idea how much people desperately want just a bigger space to even work let alone relax.
And now a TikTok kid had their power turned off by the city because LAs mayor made an announcement that if you have parties and get notified enough that they'll cut their utilities. Happened just before a heat wave too.
It's not just parents and grandparents. Many younger adults have gotten so sick now, many have passed.
It’s so frustrating seeing people my age (22) be so irresponsible and selfish. I go to UCSB and literally the last weekend there were a bunch of houses throwing BIG (~100 people) parties, obviously no masks and social distancing. Like why can’t people give up partying for a bit, there’s plenty of ways to socialize and see friends in a safe way
sit_on_me_kWeEn_INGRID SUNY Oneonta closed up dorms before classes even started. Why? Over 200 cases. Call it coincidence, but there were parties weekends before. All these people got moved into dorms and now have to go home. The state started mass testing in the town last Wed. Let’s talk about the economic and social costs of that. My friends sister tested negative but now she loses out on the “dormimg” experience she had wanted. At least SUNY is taking some punitive steps towards students and organizations sponsoring parties. I believe the reaction you’re talking about in young people, from what I’ve read, is a “cytokine storm”. Your immune system goes into overdrive and changes the surface of the lung tissue preventing air from being absorbed. If there any med students out there, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. They Army back in 1918 couldn’t figure out why some of the healthiest people (18 yo men) were dying at such a high rate.
Since march my family and I have been social distancing, we are a Big family and we celebrate all of birthdays togheter, but we haven’t this year, we do it vía zoom or wp, it’s hard and it’s sucks! But my parents and I are more compromise, so my family take care of us. My nephew got COVID, thankfully it was a minor issue. So this Christmas for the first time in months , we’re gonna be togheter, but at a distance if that makes sence
I totally agree with Ben & Cristine! Those young influencers has no sense of responsibility. I mean, staying at home is every-single-person-in-this-world's responsibility.. But yeah I understand that some artists or actors or entertainers need to go out to do their job. But as influencers, I think they have the choices tho. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I like how u put a pic of Noah and the sway house
I live alone in a one room flat. For 6 months the only people I saw were at work, and as someone with fairly severe mental health problems that was extremely tough. Now it's got a bit safer I've joined my boyfriend's household (all young and healthy), but man seeing people living in huge mansions with their friends/partners complaining about how tough it is (or worse, not distancing because it's hard) is infuriating. Yes it's hard, but it's necessary.
I think the problem is these kids are told from the beginning that covid-19 is dangerous for babies, elders, and immuno-compromised. They're neither, so hell yeah parties. That plus the way people value their freedom and individuality can really make them uncaring and hard headed about the pandemic.
I'm lucky where I live because our numbers are so low that the restrictions have been able to lift up by a long shot but that doesn't mean that people can still go on a head and not isolate them selves when they know they're fucking sick, as someone who is a high risk person it pisses me off so much seeing people not social distancing and not isolating when your bloody sick.
The amount of time my family has been scared of even sending me to school (where I live we can go to school again) or we have to think 'oh crap what day did we do this or that' and it sucks that's it's always a couple of people who ruin it for everyone else because of their own selfish need's
I am an extremely extroverted and tactile person so this pandemic hasn't been the easiest. But because I HAVE to go into work, I get my social interaction there. If I can handle social distancing, people should be able to too. Those people who are completely disregarding social distancing are just selfish assholes who don't give a shit about anyone else. And don't get me started on people who don't believe COVID is real...
I find it interesting how over there its young people who don't wanna wear masks etc, in Poland where I live, we didn't get in such a bad situation with covid since everything closed very quick, and because of that it's the older people who belive covid isn't real, and refuse to apply safety measures. Most of my friends (about 20yo) are really worried about family members and just want everything to go back to normal as soon as possible.
There are people right now at the front of my street that are having a party.
My mom is leaving for a 2 week vacation to Mexico. She thought I was being overprotective when I told her she can’t see my kids until she finishes quarantine. I suspect that she will not quarantine at all... which means I won’t be able to see my dad or sister for that time period either because my sister works for my mom and lives with my dad. Really frustrating that almost my entire support network will be cut off because one person refuses to believe that this virus is dangerous.
I think the stems from a sense of entitlement and being told and shown throughout your whole RUclips career or whatever that you are invincible and that money means you're untouchable. So even though there's a pandemic they think "oh the rules don't apply to me" plus they have that adolescent invincibility idea anyway so it cant be them who gets sick. I think a lot of social media people don't realize that just because your state or country doesn't have as strict of rules as another doesn't mean that you shouldn't also abide by the strictest rules. I've seen a lot of instagrammers not wearing masks and not social distancing because their state says they don't need to despite their state being one of the highest transmission rates. If you wanted to be a social media star so badly when you could live the high life, you should want it while not going to huge parties and wearing a mask everywhere you go.
Yea I work at McDonald's and many people just won't wear mask :x I will ask them to, ask manager to tell them and they still won't.. They just don't think about that maybe I have sick mother at home or some older people live with me and it can be really dangerous for them
You can answer most of the great questions of this world with a single fact (Ben just pointed it at the end): People suck. There's nothing anyone can do.
Ben is benana & grape & strawberry today.
(I know, the subject today is very serious)
Okay, I'll see myself out.
3 months and it’s not old news still :(
Where can I get bens sweatshirt? Seriously I need it. Hopefully it’s affordable LOL
I think people forget that FaceTime, zoom, and etc exist. Like I have a bday party. Instead of my friends come over and get wasted, like usual, we call on zoom, party the fuck off. Even have random family members join in and have fun. We, young people, spent our lives mainly virtually yet, at time like this- urgh,
idc if "young healthy people" supposedly wont die im not taking any chances and im not getting it. i unfortunately had to go to the ER for an allergy and i FREAKED OUT at the thought of going. am i extreme? maybe? should everybody be living in my anxiety? maybe not. but my neighborhood in nyc was absolutely bull dozed by this virus. it wsa so incredibly traumatizing that im not taking ANY chances. i find myself incredibly privileged to be in the position that i am where we still have a stable income but i certainly am infuriated at everybody not taking this seriously. its all of these celebrities too for sure!! on one level im like more scared when celebrities get it BECAUSE they have the means to be distanced from others but then i realize that they just werent. two famous latin reggaeton artists got it and then i go on their IG and you see them partying on boats and shit and im just like welll thennnnn. wtf! meanwhile there were servers on that boat and i feel so bad if one of them got it too. these ppl lack perspective for basic humanity it's sick.
yeah :(
