The concern for the average person isn’t the virus per se, at least not for healthy people. The concern is about supply lines being disrupted because people won’t show up for work.

If schools are out, events are canceled, people are told to stay home if they so much as sneeze, people are told to work from home, etc. then there is concern about disruption to a point that effects suppliers.

Businesses and restaurants don’t have people coming in so they tell employees to stay home. Eventually there is a tipping point to all this, and that concerns people.

My state government has said that they have considered all these things and still came to the conclusion to all but shut down the entire state.

It’s a ruse.

She’s actually spreading the Wuhan virus over the radio waves!

As a precaution, turn off and disconnect all devices that receive radio waves (televisions, radios, cell phones, other wireless, bluetooth).

really, I listened to it on the internet.

:crazy_face: 😝 😱
 
Panic buying is a self fulfilling loop. There is a run on TP in Australia and the news reports it…which gets everyone else thinking…I need TP so I don’t run out…which gets everyone buying TP…which becomes an even bigger news story…which gets everyone else thinking…I need TP so I don’t run out…

What started as a simple news story reporting on panic TP buying in Australia is now a US news story. I don’t even know why Australia began panic buying but…here we are!

In two weeks, there will be four isles of TP and no one buying any because they haven’t used up the 100 rolls in the closet. I’m still trying to figure out why eggs are all gone? 😂😂😂
 
it’s they hygienic version of a bank run!

some hoodlums insist on both egging and TPing the house . . . hmm . . . a solution to the shortage: annoy some teenagers!

[ages ago, my brother’s clique had engaged in a presumably harmless tp-ing of the house of one of their own to cheer her up.

But then it rained.

And they had used colored tp.

on a white picket fence.

The weekend found them repainting it . . .]

Am I the only person who chortled over the juxtaposition of ‘toilet paper’ with ‘wiped out?’
 
We are supposed to be stimulating the economy by buying…carry on buying. More jobs, more manufacture , thats my take on it today.
 
Anyone who lives here in Baltimore, knows this phenomenon all too well. When snow is in the forecast, people here react in much the same way. People buy up all the bread, milk and TP as if we live in Colorado or something, and we’re about to get snowed in for weeks! The current situation is much in the same vein…only on steroids!!!
 
I still don’t understand why people are buying a years worth of toilet paper, this virus doesn’t give you a month of diarrhoea.

People with certain medical conditions don’t need this virus to give them the runs. There are other causes.
 
We here n Colorado typically don’t overreact in the case of heavy snowstorms.The sun usually comes out the next day,we all have all wheel drive vehicles too😉
