Is it just me, or is this whole virus thing making everyone focus on the really important things in life?

Are you on the dark web sowing the seeds of a grammarian revolution?
Chris: your very personal interest in me, based on the meagre smippets you're able to glean from my posts, to which I occasionally add a bit of flavouring to entice you further, is reaching a pathological level that can only be dealt with by a personal visit to see me. But be warned: I won't be alone.

This poll was originally submitted by Rocio Barrientos. View the poll results » I'm worried about the "personally" because everyone I know, I know personally. So I am completely unable to address the question.
If you read the full question, the title, the other posts, and the name of the forum section, rather than focussing on one word only, you woudn’t have problems addressing the question.

Maybe Chris is adding flavorings to his posts in the same manner and for the same reasons? I thought both of you were joking all the time.

When we no longer need to social distance ourselves, I might just take you up on that.
Maybe I’ll come armed with a cat too.
But be warned: he’s über fluffy and he’s 19 so he has olfactory superpowers.

| Back to the question | Apr 22, 2020 |
Yesterday, my sister was tested a second time, positive again…
I can't undertand why some Covid-19 patients can be tested positive twice.
I wish you all and your beloved ones good health and all the best!

Also scientists do not know, but I hope your sister is in good health now. BTW 4 people I knew died last week because of the monster, they were not very old, just in their 60, 4 men (italian).

| My deep sympathy, Angie | Apr 23, 2020 |
I am very sorry to hear that.
The monster is a democratic beast, it doesn't choose age, race, religion, rich or poor people.
My sister has no symptoms by now, she is at home, her husband, as a matter of precaution, can't go to work, and my nephew is taking classes via TV.
The world is upside down, but we will fight this horrible infection.
The virus is not as smart as it thinks. We are smarter!
