Is All This CoronaVirus Panic Even Warranted?

@Success If everyone overreacts, you’d be safe.

@SimplyTracie Not necessarily. If I have to search 50 stores for tp this increases my exposure risk. Shoppers are being irresponsibly selfish.

@Success That’s not really a sign of panic. People are accustomed to TP running short during any crisis. Hurricanes or labor strikes will cause a buying frenzy.

@SimplyTracie well let me tell ya hunni, I’ve seen some pretty vile things during this crisis and one of them is people physically assaulting each other over toilet paper, food etc.

It’s completely unnecessary.

@Mrowe718 Of course. Violence is never necessary.

@Success Agreed

@SW-User Do you have any ideas on how this will be [i]contained[/i] ?
I mean short of everyone staying home.

@SimplyTracie I only know from what i've read which is probably what everyone else has read, and that is that it can't be contained, but the goal is to slow the rate that it spreads so that health services can cope and not have people missing out. This is being termed as "flattening the curve" which refers to the graph below. So the only thing to help this is people avoiding contact with each other.

@SW-User Flatten the wave. 🤭
Okay, I thought you agreed that it can be contained.

@SimplyTracie Lol not something i'd like to see done when i'm surfing 😂.. but hopefully it makes sense. It's what most of our governments are attempting to do.
I guess by contained i meant that it can't be stopped, it can only be slowed to prevent health services from being swamped by patients. The upside to this is less deaths and people queued up outside hospitals dying of something treatable, the downside is that it will drag the process on from weeks to months.

@SW-User I hope it’ll All be gone soon.

@SimplyTracie Yeah me too! At least on here i can do this 🤗.. without having to implement the social distance or get tested 🤭

@SW-User 🤗
