COVID Deso

[touchingcloth]

Christ alive some of the bleakest news I've ever read has come out of this fucker. This is related to the HS Art form only in terms of how utterly, truly desolate it is rather than how lolsome, but the worst of it I've seen yet are:

Hospitals making Amazon wish lists for people to buy them crucial medical supplies
Zoos making lists of which animals will get slaughtered first to feed the remaining ones
An elderly woman repeatedly pleading with her

Spoiler alert

Alexa to help with her pain, alone in her dying hours

[close]

The numbness I felt on reading that last one will haunt me forever. It's been days since I read about it but its memory keeps making itself known to me.

Take care of yourselves. Fuck.

Now I need to report myself to the worst corona reactions thread for laughing

[chveik]

I laughed too...

[Hand Solo]

Old Woman: "Alexa.. please help.. I can't cope with the pain today."

Alexa: "Playing 'Peaches - Fuck The Pain Away'."

Old Woman: "I am frightened and confused."

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

A jaded beat cop breaks down the door of an unresponsive elderly tenant and trips over a pile of fifteen individually-posted copies of Help! on vinyl. Desolation.

Man, that's fucking bleak. Could Alexa not have rang an ambulance though?

[Bence Fekete]

Isn't that a fairly normal/common thing to be asking the surveillance assistance pod though?

Like if she could type it's what you'd type. Or if you were in hospital it's what you'd ask a doctor. Sad, but not really that tragic. 'I am dying and need help' likely to feature in most of our final squirms one way or another.

Oh glory!

My first reaction was to laugh and think "this is going into HS Art", shortly followed by thinking "hmm, this is a bit more like the worst Black Mirror concept ever - this is going onto CaB somewhere", shortly followed by my soul moaning.
