Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

One thing I was thinking about as I was puking my guts out last night (acute food poisoning): if you get something else other than covid-19 while the medical system is overwhelmed, you're probably still on your own.
Take care everyone, there's a lot worse shit out there than coronavirus.

Why is no one discussing the ramifications of trying to stop this virus? These things are supposed to happen in nature. Not trying to be callous.

There are a number of authors and anthropologists that point out that there is not supposed to be a population of any species that has such a contiguous density across the globe.
There are a number of diseases that wouldn't even exist today if we didn't have such a high worldwide population (according to them).
I think we may be pretty far away from "supposed to happen in nature."

I can understand hoarding food, but I really don’t get the tp thing
I’m assuming it’s because of the social distancing thing. If it’s recommended that people self isolate it would make sense to have extra tp on hand. But, I’m sure there are people overbuying because they’re acting as though this is the apocalypse

Apparently, academics state that we associate any disease with hygiene, and our first subconscious association of hygiene is faeces, we therefore buy toilet paper in excess.
Once we have carried out all the necessary Covid 19 tests on the most vulnerable, and this disease crawls back under whatever rock/pesiary dish it originated, I think our whole species needs to by psychologically analysed… Just to be sure.

Thanks, that was very helpful.
And I agree, people need to get their head checked.
I think everyone should be prepared for this kind of thing, and then some. Natural disasters and civil unrest, while not common, are not uncommon either.
I've been accused to being scared, which is why I have all this stuff. There is a pretty significant difference between being scared and being prepared.
I'm not scared of food shortages or violence because I've been prepared for years.
Being someone who is heavily self defense minded, I find a lot of people prefer to be unprepared because they don't want to acknowledge that violence is a possibility.
"This kind of thing isn't something that happens in my lifestyle" is something I hear often right before someone condemns me for being prepared.
Oftentimes, the fight comes to you, not the other way around.

I was going to keep this to myself because I don't like to whine, but I've already experienced some racism due to covid19:
Wed: I was buying burgers at Five Guys and someone asked me if I have "the Chinese coronavirus"
Thurs: someone wouldn't get on the bed next to me at physical therapy and wanted to be on the other side of the room
Today: I was walking out of Lidl (again because the shelves were empty yesterday afternoon) and someone flung an empty shopping cart at me and shouted "YOU DID THIS!!!" She ran for her life after I turned to her
It's going to get worse, they only declared the National Emergency Fri…
