Greta Says She Has Coronavirus
2020-03-24
Be nice, guys. She's just a kid.
In a social media post, the Swedish environmental activist said that although she was unable to get tested and had basically recovered, her mild symptoms highlight why it's essential that young people, who don't belong to an at-risk group, stay at home and isolate as "our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others".
She's not a kid. She's a puppet Saint

#27  at some point, you have to leave "damaged child activist" protected from criticism regardless of the damage your activism imposes on the world - to "adult we should be listening to because you know better". Pick your time, because it's now

#26  Dear little Gretha is highly suggestible, and her parents will do or say whatever necessary to keep her from becoming suicidal again, regardless how it impacts the rest of the world.

This.

Be nice, guys. She's just a kid.

Pol Pot had kids working for him.

And if she's just a kid, then she shouldn't be held up as a prophet or exemplar for adults to follow.

No more white knighting for people who want us dead or in chains.

#12  Attention whore: Look at ME my poor daughter!

(you know its her parents doing this right? - I wouldn't put it past them to intentionally infect her to rekindle her waining popularity. Sickos!)

Actually I feel sorry for her. And blame her parents.

#5  She can see CO2 -- why couldn't she see the much larger virus particles?

#4  She wasn't tested and her symptoms were mild, but she feels she had it and that's what matters.
