When they start closing pubs

You know that this covid-19 panic is going into full on paranoia trip

Look I know it's weird observing them panic and all and if you have one bit of logic, seeing the people buying all that stuff as if they won't get out again or freaking out over a cough is paranoid, but you also know in countries with health systems that suck, when there will be cases in your area, it will not be good at all. They're closing the pubs and all in order for people to understand that they must limit going out for unnecessary reasons. And you know while it will be easy for me to get through it if I catch it, what if I transmit it to the old person next to me or to the person who's going under chemotherapy? People won't stay in so the state has to close some things down in order for them to comply I guess. I just hope people did the things they ought to and stopped freaking out and making it worse.

@HannibalAteMeOut that's fair enough, I can understand that logic, but as long as they quarantine those affected I can't see how everyone is going to get it. A bit of education goes a long way, instead of people buying up toilet paper, it would help if they actually washed their hands for one.

Meanwhile we have people profiteering over this and trying to sell hand sanitizer to everyone. Hell in a computer parts group I'm in, some asshole had to be removed because he kept spamming the group with his hand sanitizer he made.

@basilfawlty89 people's reactions are just so stupid 🤦 and some people will always find a way to profit, here they ridiculously raised the prices in all those things like hand sanitizer, masks, pasta, all that stuff that people panic-bought.

No why paranoia? Just stay @home and be safe.

@basilfawlty89 exactly, point in case - So I’d say avoidance is better than nothing. Where are you?

@Invocations furthermore do you really think people won't drink outside of those hours, or that bottle stores closing early will stop people from drinking? They'll just buy alcohol earlier. Ramaphosa's reasoning of saying that it's because alcohol compromises the immune system and this will prevent alcohol consumption is horseshit. I'm going to buy a bottle of vodka tomorrow before 6. I'm still getting drunk.
@basilfawlty89 ok so what would you do? Eh?

Of course they’ll drink if they want to drink, I never hearD him say that it compromises the immune system. I heard that it was because of impaired judgement in public spaces.

Where are you?

On the brighter side, less drunk heads on the street, less stupid drunk drivers.

Uhm, at this point they should close everything except grocery stores

@basilfawlty89 Ok, but this isn’t what your post is about.
If people want to take all safety mesures, I don’t think it’s paranoia. Anyway, I have made my points so have a nice day. ☺️

@SW-User sure, we'll go with that. I'm sure people stockpiling toilet paper are being logical and not paranoid either, even though stomach upset isn't even one of the common symptoms.

@basilfawlty89 I never said they were logical. While I can understand why people would wear masks for safety reasons, I don’t get those who hamster everything at home including pasta, TP and whatnot, creating penury. Though you said it’s paranoia to close pubs, which I don’t agree with.

@basilfawlty89 i promise you won’t enjoy it
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@DragonSlayerr oh you'd be surprised

@SW-User I wasn't, I want beer.

It's the right thing to do

In the UK the advice has been to avoud them. I guess it's because they can be quite crowded and are enclosed spaces.
Slickmel · 56-60, M
Yep whiskey should kill anything
That’s a step to far..
Fewer drunks on the road
