	Sigh. I think y'all have to be obsessed with the pandemic, to imagine this is related to COVID-19 when it manifestly isn't. However, since there's nothing I can do about that as the sole voice of reason on it, if the page is going to claim this is related to COVID-19, it needs to make that sound plausible, so needs to play up the not-acting-till-things-are-already-bad aspect. I'll see what I can figure, on that. --[[User:Pi one\|Pi one]] ([[User talk:Pi one\|talk]]) 20:29, 27 March 2020 (UTC)		Sigh.

 Since when is explainxkcd a platform for urging explainxkcd readers to begin political action themselves and post links to it here?? I thought explainxkcd was for explaining xkcd. The entire (current version) first paragraph, while presumably well-intentioned, ought to be deleted entirely because it clearly does not belong here. Where are the explainxkcd regulars, and why has this been left that way for so long? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.22.206|172.69.22.206]] 01:31, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 This explanation declares this comic is about Coronavirus, it seems merely potentially so. I was watching for this to be another one in a row, and all the language is kept generic, and how can one person seeing a graph and asking a question make Coronavirus worse? LOL!
