COVID-19 and the air surrounding it

[sillypumpkins]

I wouldn't worry about the virus. The death rate is way lower than other viruses we have had in the past and is being sensationalized by the media as far as I can tell. There are likely "controlling" reasons for this which underly the surface news.

The thing that may be hard to deal with is this panic, making people "stock up." I tried to go shopping yesterday for the usual essentials, and of course (I didn't know this would be the case), there was no toilet paper anywhere. I saw a woman with a grocery cart filled up with paper towels. The panic is resulting in extreme hoarding. I can't say it isn't efficacious if indeed we are quarantined, but for most who get the virus it isn't deadly. To put it in some perspective, here is an excerpt fro Dr. Gabriel Cousens:

I appreciate what Dr. Cousens is trying to convey, it just seems much too early for us to have anything but a sliver of a scope of what is about to come. But I mean, hey, bring it on

I'm not so worried about getting sick/dying. I'm 21 years old and pretty healthy. It could happen, but I'm not so concerned with it. I guess a lot of my concern lies in the preventive measures put in (or not put in) place by the government.... sick leave, unemployment, that kind of thing. Things that will accentuate the spread of the virus.

That's another thing that concerns me about this virus too, is how fast it seems to spread.

There's so much unknown about it... think it's causing me some anxiety... I should stop reading the news for the next day or two lol

whewee

O ya, yesterday I stopped at the grocery store to get a couple things. ALL the peanut butter was cleared out, except the really expensive "organic" stuff. So I got to spend $10 on peanut butter yesterday. It better be good! lol. oh yeah, and they only had grape jelly which was a shame. like, they were cleared out of all other jams/jellys, and were fully stocked with grape jelly. so funny to me
