Is All This CoronaVirus Panic Even Warranted?

Not invalidating anyone else’s fears or feelings but I can’t find myself to be afraid. I honestly don’t feel to do so.

Regardless of what the media is saying. Regardless of how many people are acting a fool at airports, grocery stores and so on.

Something’s off.

Please get back to us when you end up wiping your butt with newspaper.

@beckyromero shut up, idiot.

The fact that the only thing people are doing during this pandemic is buying up toilet paper, hoarding supplies and greed proves severe mental illness

They are also burying loved ones, wondering when they will be told they can go back to work and collect a paycheck, wondering when their kids can go back to school, wondering when they can travel again, wondering when they can use public transit again, how they will pay their rent for their small business, wondering how they will make up the funds lost in their retirement pensions...

@beckyromero I know all of this, and you’re bringing up things I am far from insensitive to, this isn’t what I’m speaking of.

stampedes, grocery store fights, panic thats causing people to literally lose their minds and become recluse, is what I’m speaking of.

Sorry but living in complete fear is the devils work.

I refuse.

There’s nothing that my fear or my panic will solve.

@Mrowe718

Who says they are living in fear? They are concerned that when they have the time to go shopping they won't find what they need.

It's not like they're going to not use the stuff.

A family can easily go through a several bottles of hands wipes in a week.

You wipe your door knobs, car door handles, the grocery cart, etc.

There are 320 million people in the country. There is bound to be a few hot heads and the news media is sure going to cover that instead of vast majority of people going about their daily business in a concerned but orderly fashion.
