Please Remove Housing Timers During the Covid-19 Epidemic

[Kenky]

No ITS NOT.
Its 20-30 times more deadlier than normal flu and about 20% of all cases requires hospitalization including oxygen intake, it also gives several times worse complications that could do permanent damage to your lungs, heart and nerve system that could carry on for the rest of infected person life. Stop being ignorant.

Plenty of people sadly pass away from the Flu every year, in plenty of countries, making its mortality rate about 2 - 3% (Maybe higher / lower, depending on countrys medical structure)

COVID-19 has a mortality rate of 0.2% (at present and only including confirmed cases. But that's all the info we have)

20-30 times weaker, more like. Stop overreacting.

That isn't to say it can just flip a switch and suddenly become incredibly dangerous (But that would take quite a long time, as no virus 'evolves' overnight) but if you keep with basic hygiene and common sense you can fight off most of the symptoms and minimize spread. Over here in the UK, we're actually being told to avoid going to the doctors and hospitals, purely to avoid potential spread of the virus. Not to mention several clinics in my town itself have been quarantined and "deep cleaned" just to be sure. That's not because "it's dangerous" but to slow the spread and give medical companies (NHS, WHO, etc) time to work on medication and vaccination.

Wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face and if you have to go outside and have a bad cough, wear a mask. The masks are meant to stop YOU spreading it, not to stop others from catching it.

But onto the main point of the thread:

Plenty of countries are trying to get you to stay home and away from other people. Wouldn't that technically make it pointless to delay the timer? I mean, you're meant to be at home anyways. But I can understand some people being unable to log-in or pass their info to a trusted friend or family member to do it for you, should you be otherwise occupied. (Not something I'd personally recommend, but it's your call at the end of the day)

In either case, It'd be good to have a little delay. Maybe an extra week or two on the timer, but not stopping it all-together.
