One of life’s first-and-foremost “double-edged swords” --- something that can “cut both ways” as far as definition and desirability is concerned. While it can refer to a welcomed stack of purchase-agreements that will bring wealth and prosperity to its recipient, it can also mean stern/irritable directives to do/not do something that its recipient hates/wants to do.

A way to get people to stop thinking for themselves.
Living your life the way you did before the coronavirus is no matter what warnings, orders, or restrictions are given, people still do everything the way they did before, be it holidays like Christmas, or anything else in life. There is nothing normal about what people are told is a new normal, there never was.

orders of magnitude 

A hyperbolical and completely unnecessary adverbial phrase in techie or business-speak that simply means "much" or "considerably".
"I think we would like it to be more reliable," Katz-Bassett said. "It's orders of magnitude less reliable than the telephone network right now. I think it should be pretty possible to get it closer."

Orders of Magnitude 

Let's get one thing straight: You ARE trying to kill me with this. When I die alone "without ever having any real friends" after spending the vast majority of my life being derided almost exclusively so you can use me as an instrument for ridicule in a way that leaves me unallowed to retaliate, that isn't "you not killing me." Sorry, I'm not an incest cultists so nobody told me that I was just subject to your whim, ad infinitum. Which is par for the course in a place where I'm expect treat women like pleasure dictators that imbue the subject of THEIR whim with an inflated value that then multiplies AND COMPOUNDS. That sounds like a DEBT. Or a LOAN.
A fucking retard "But a GOOD person would forgive us. Jesus would forgive us."

Hym "You mean the guy you fucking mangled in spite of the fact that he didn't to anything wrong? Fuck that guy. As a matter of fact, if you were fucking that guy he wouldn't be getting nailed to some wood."

A retard "Well if you're not a GOOD person then you're a BAD person and then-"

Hym "I'm subject to your whims again? Yeah. That seems to be a general theme. And now that my fate affects you there are orders of magnitude? What order of magnitude is weaponize schizophrenia and harvesting my soul for consumption? Because... BOTH OF THOSE THINGS WERE ALREADY HAPPENING BEFORE I SAID ANYTHING. Am I working of the debt you deferred good enough yet or what?"

F.O.L.O. (Fear Of Losing Orders) 

"F.O.L.O." or “#FOLO” is an acronym for "Fear of Losing Orders". It refers to the emotions felt by people waiting in their homes for packages to be delivered. These emotions range from excitement and apprehension about when the parcel will arrive, to the boredom of waiting at home all day for a parcel, or annoyance as you stare out the window on a sunny day that you’re unable to enjoy.

Symptoms:

Fear of taking showers in case you miss the doorbell;

Incessantly looking through door viewer or window for delivery drivers;

Over-sensitivity to any noise that may resemble a delivery van;

Constant refreshing of delivery apps to check for updates.

Fortunately, there’s a solution for F.O.L.O. Systems like smart intercoms that allow people to answer their apartment intercoms from anywhere and remotely buzz visitors into their building with a smartphone.
“I haven’t left the house all day, I have major F.O.L.O. (Fear Of Losing Orders) ”
“My old intercom is giving me F.O.L.O. (Fear Of Losing Orders) ”
“Looks like they have a bad case of F.O.L.O. (Fear Of Losing Orders) ”
