"Recovery" isn't really the right word for this shit. For a lot of people, "Victim" would be more appropriate.
These people had it. And survived it. That's a good thing.
I will continue to post the recovery numbers. For those who are bothered by that and only want to see the confirmed cases and fatality statistics then by all means feel free to use the ignore feature.
Until then I shall salute the survivors

I agree that it's great celebrate people who make it through, but it's also important for people to realize that simply not being dead doesn't mean that having this thing can't completely upend or ruin your life. That's something that almost no one is actually talking about.
When the one current (albeit likely temporary) solution that the actual experts have for this is to socially distance yourself, and there's a large percentage of people who still believe it's a hoax and are refusing to do so, focusing on the positive is not really the approach for anyone concerned with harm reduction.
It'd be similar to talking about how many people use heroin without dying from overdose, while there's an opiate epidemic going on. Sure you can celebrate that I guess, but you can also come to the conclusion that highlighting "positives" gives people more incentive to be less cautious, and the consequences are real and severe.
I completely see where you're coming from and normally I'm all for positivity, but I also see the potential for one person's ignorance on this topic to kill other people who are actually taking the very many consequences of this thing seriously.
I was going to say something similar to this. I get that Niffla is trying to be positive or something, but I have a feeling that if he had Covid or a loved one died from Covid that he would not be posting positive shit about Covid.
To some people it comes across as a belittling of the virus or a belittling of the people who died because of Covid. When Columbine happens you don't make a list of the people who survived. When 9/11 happens you don't make a list of all the survivors. When the Vegas concert massacre happens you don't list the survivors. To me it seems to be in bad taste, kind of like saying "Hey guys, Covid isn't all bad, it does let some people live". I know Niffla and I know that isn't his intention, but it can come off like that.
Yes, it's good to be positive and remind the sick that they can make it through this, but I don't think this is a time to honor the survivors and I don't think it's the right place or time to bliss out and think of puppies and rainbows. People are dying, becoming incredibly sick, and losing their financial well being and security. Reminding people that their are survivors doesn't help east the emotions that any of that stuff brings.
Fine. You guys win. I will join the parade and post more death stats and stuff.
For the record though I wasn't "blissing out and thinking of puppies and rainbows". Or belittling the virus or taking lightly the seriousness of this situation. Or celebrating the virus "because it's letting some live". I am of course aware that people and families have been devastated by this.
I was merely posting a statistic that might bring a shred of positivity to those who feel like they're underneath a constant black cloud these days because of this shit.
I am deeply sorry to have offended anyone for having the nerve to stray from the path of doom and gloom and how we are all going to die.
Here:
Worldwide deaths: 91,783
US deaths: will be 25,000 by tomorrow morning
US confirmed cases: over 450K
The USA will also be passing Italy in deaths soon too.
Happy?

I know what you were doing and I think your intentions are very good. I was just sharing that to someone who has the disease or lost a family member to the disease that this might seem like a belittling of what could or has happened to them. I mean, would you do this for Columbine survivors? Of course, post whatever you want. If you think it is helping bring positivity then do it for sure. I'm not offended and just pointing out how it could be perceived by some.
We are under a cloud of doom and gloom now and I don't think posting positive things is going to change that. If you think it will help then do it. Like I said, I'm just showing you a different perspective, not trying to tell you what to post or not to post.

This is more of a bad positive instead of a good positive.

Guys please, with all due respect, can we please keep it to future cases only? I’d like to be prepared, thank you.
