Which is worse, the Virus or the Panic


PANIC.

The idiots panicking will cause more spread of the virus than the virus itself.

Government says "stay home and keep a safe distance from others".

IDIOTS immediately fill every parking space in every Walmart and grocery store they can find.



These are pictures from airports - Chicago O'Hare, DFW and JFK. If one person in each airport had the virus, A BUNCH have it now. THIS IS IDIOCY CAUSED BY PANIC, OR PANIC CAUSED BY IDIOCY. Can't figure out which one it is.







JFK














DFW

They are certainly not helping.

I work for a MNC. The travel restrictions are killing us right now.

The panic over the measures being taken to slow the spread seems greater than the panic that caused them, based on this board at least.

not questioning the validity of your post, but would like you to expand a little out of curiosity - how so?

Panic for sure. I went to Sam's earlier to get some pellets and a woman was having a meltdown over toilet paper. She was yelling at the Sam's employee about how she only had a roll left like it was his fault and she can't find any. It's strange to see, something like that is not a normal sight.

Are you serious? Aside from our stock taking a 30% shite, we’ve been cut off from key markets in Asia, crippling our entire marketing and product support apparatus while our Asian competitors dance on our graves.
