When they start closing pubs

@SW-User ...where loads of people gather and buy things and breathe the same air, so people can still get exposed.

@basilfawlty89 Not really, I went to the grocery store yesterday. It’s empty and my country is in quarantine. Most people also wear masks.

@SW-User which isn't needed to do unless you actually have the virus, or in contact with someone who had it or you work in healthcare

This is an example of paranoia.

@basilfawlty89
1. Many people have the virus without knowing they do because the symptoms don’t show.
2. The virus is spreading way too fast and the only way to stop the spreading is to make people stay home

@SW-User which is grand but doesn't change the fact that the face masks aren't going to help much for most people.

@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.
