I think its a human feeling. You're trapped we need it all to vanish. Including the mess our deaths will leave behind.

tbh, I sort of hope I will catch it. Any tips?

Edit: just to add I don't want undue suffering. I just understand your mindset.

 

[protonic76]

"Everyone"??? Including people who dont want to die? Why would you think like that?

You should not even wish that for suicidal people either... not everyone who is suicidal would like to die from viral infection. It's a messy death and messy thinking.

 

[Readytogo#Broken]

Well YES if your serious !!! Have no respect for anyone committing suicide taking others with them or wishing it. However unrealistic.
*dont let your issues/problems make you bitter

Humans are not a great thing for the planet. I can see how the end of humanity would be beneficial. If allowed to spread this virus would carry to animals as well. I think life on this planet is waning anyway.

 

[voyager]

Bad person, dunno. Depends how serious you are, but since it's not feasible it doesn't really matter. I do believe in free choice though, and thus I think all of us are entitled to make that decision on our own.

Life on this planet will always rebound in some way. While we and other species might die off, others will always fill the gap.

I'd say catch a flight to Wuhan, make hospital rounds and breathe in deeply but they've already locked it (and a neighboring city) down.

The mortality rate of that disease is only 10 %, far less than many other common diseases such as tuberculosis. I don't think humanity will wipe out due to a disease

Noone really should wish for others to die, its not good or nice. I have recently lost my beloved father, the only person left who loved or cared about me in the world. if you knew the devastation that death leaves people with, maybe you'd not think along these lines. Why would you want innocent people to die? I dislike being in the world greatly ad have been hurt over the years by some very cruel people, but never wish death on any of them.

 

[protonic76]

wanting your own death for whatever reason is your own person choice . But wanting everyone to die puts u in the ranks of Hitler, Stalin, Osama etc... Remember, most, almost all of human population want to live, not die .

It is EVIL to think to think that everyone should die .

thanks for your replies:D yeah it was a lil sarcastic, should have used erase this planet* i guess^^

Well, I wouldn't consider cruel people innocent tbh. Wouldn't mind them getting some of their own medicine from time to time, because in my experience they seldom do.

You know how much I agree with that Well said the love and caring those before us gave, I don't think would ever want anyone to die simply because iv failed, it's a stupid thing to wish as its impossible, I just can't help but think of the horrible events where people take other lives in their exit, deffo just plain wrong, no need to spout hatred, there's a lot of shit in humanity but so much good.

No cruel people aren't innocent, but the people who hurt me badly had their own crap going on deep within them I suppose and then its a chain that never gets broken. What they did to me was not justified no, but I dont know what went on in their past t make them like it, nothing is black and white. You are right they seldom get a taste of their medicine and I do feel that they should suffer, but end of the day Ghandi was right about 'an eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind'. In theory folks should have their commupence, but in practice its different.

I hope I get infected by the coronavirus so I won't have to ctb.

You may find CTB be less horrid to go through that getting a nasty virus like that. It would be no joke. We are talking virulent symptoms and excruciating pain, dont wish that on yourself, ever. I suffer agony ever day with my physical health and today got job to even get off the bed to go to bathroom even so it upsets me when folks talk about wishing to be ill.

People who have hurt you perfectly reasonable not wishing death on innocent strangers, it's a horrible thing to watch someone sick fade away in front of you!! besides it's a pointless discussion as it's just unrealistic, nobody should want INNOCENT people to die because they got dealt a shit hand** leaves convo

 

[squirtsoda]

Yeah I was just hoping I catch it, landed here in the Chicago area this morning

 

[R_N]

How about giving all humans a virus which makes them unable to have children.

 

[WhiteEyes]

@Thereisnothing is probably right. But there is a big upside to dying of something like that. It means I may get to die with the people I love around me and they may be with me in the last minutes (albeit with masks on).
With CTB there is no chance of that. Also I think its probably easier to refuse Antibiotics (are there any yet for it?) than to overcome SI.

If you were someone who couldn't have children (choice ripped away like I have) you might actually stop and think how ludicrously cruel and insensitive that is.

You seen the show Utopia? Best piece of TV I've ever seen, based on this principle.

Also, seeing as I've posted I may as well share my two pence on this.
I feel like it is a different thing to wish harm upon other people and wish for there to be less people. I often think of humanity like a parasite upon earth, eating up a finite amount of resources. When those resources run out, we're not going to cooperate and work together as human history and human nature have shown us time and time again. Would a virus that wipes out 50% of the human race be a bad thing? Not necessarily, but the population would bounce back faster than ever and we'd be in the same problematic situation. I'm not saying that I think half the population should die, but I think it's difficult to argue against the negative effect of humanity and how over-crowded we are.

I had the flu about 4 years ago. I didn't have a flu shot. I grew up in a family that did not do flu shots, but I certainly do them now. I am not going to bother Getting into whether they are worth doing or not because it is a heated discussion for people. Regardless I became sicker than I have ever been in my life. I had every symptom there could be of the flu virus in full force. I almost died of respiratory failure several times. I can tell you becoming very ill or near death from a viral illness or even worse a bacterial illness is a very uncomfortable way to go.

I can understand not wanting to live or even envying the dead or dying, but if one really wants to CTB there are so many better ways.

No but it sounds interesting. Maybe I will check it out.

Genuinely couldn't recommend a show any more to anyone. Please do let me know if you check it out.

I think it is a part of human nature to be resentful and hateful after going through unfair and shitty events, but yes to take out innocent people who haven't done (direct) harm to you would be wrong.

The anti-natalist/infertility virus. But on a slightly more serious note, I think it may be better for the planet and also for preventing future 'potential' suffering. After all, the conceived never got a say or choice in deciding to be born.

Had the same experience in 2014/15. Wasn't near death, but it certainly harmed my eyesight and for some reason my face keeps heating up around the eyes and nose ever since. Got used to it, and it's a little better now. Dunno about you or the others, but a lot of us probably lead reclusive lifestyles and vitamin D supplements can be really helpful in this regard.

Yeah, I've had asthma ever since. Never had it before the flu. Viruses are no joke. We want to die not suffer more.
