When the crisis is over, Toilet paper will be available again
Yeah people will then have an opportunity to sell their surplus stock on eBay for crazy prices, they can label the "toilet paper I bought during Corona" to justify inflated prices so the suckers will take the bait on eBay

Positive aspect #6
Buses are now your private limousine with plenty of space, There's only you and the driver. found it hard to not shout "JAMES take me home now please"
Beam me back Scotty ! Yeah - I heard in some parts of Canada public transport is FREE even, they have people entering the bus using the back doors - But don't think that public transport will keep running this way just to work as a personal limousine service Eventually they will shut down public transport, if you want to go places you will need to either drive your car, use Uber or walk.

I had to venture out today in the zombie-infested landscape to renew my bus card, I thought they would attack me,
Did you watch "I am Legend" with Will Smith ? This is EXACTLY what is going to happen, be careful when you are out there alone. The movie was a premonition of what's to come

But apparently they are very shy and do everything they can to avoid you (It was not like the movies at all).
Then you haven't seen the movie Be careful they play with your mind and want you to THINK they are not harmful, but they'll come and get you alright!

maybe this virus is not that bad as we make it to be???, I'm not denying that some countries have had a terrible
It might actually be the opposite, far worse than we thought, it is now starting to claim more young people's lives who were otherwise very healthy. America is dropping like dead flies, the number o cases are growing by the thousands each day, deaths are soaring, and a researcher today died of it. We are now living the Zombie Apocalypse !

experience controlling this bastard!!!, But when i look at the numbers i can't help the feeling that this is just a tad overblown???, When i walk around in the inner city i see a lot of people that just go about their daily life as they always do (They don't look that frightened).
That's part of the problem, people should be. Maybe in your country the amount of cases are not as critical, though over 1000 cases vs. nearly 10,000 in the U.S., but still people should play it safe. You can carry and spread the virus without ANY symptoms - at this rate it is true that 2/3 of the planet will be infected, though it is said most will heal, but apparently with this virus you do not build immunity, there were cases of people getting it a second time within weeks apart, this is VERY concerning - this means that a vaccine would be pointless, if this type of virus mutates rapidly. The only hope would be a TREATMENT. A vaccine is not for at least 1-2 years, by that time the virus will have mutated and replicated to multiple strains and infected 2/3 of this planet, who knows, including animals (the ones we normally eat)

Just take Sweden as an example, Well Sweden have chosen to react the exact opposite of nearly every other country and don't make that big of a fuss about it, Okay at least they have banned gatherings of 500 people or more, While we in Denmark are down to 10.
They should ban ANY gathering of more than 1, yourself. You know in some movies how they have you frozen and locked in some contraption - this is how it should be - they should lock people in capsules for 3 weeks to be safe, until this all comes to pass. Mandatory isolation, this will solve the problem ! As long as anybody is FREE to roam outside his/her house/cage, this mf of a virus will spread.

But the mass-hysteria media machine needs frightened people at the moment, And if you are not obeying you're a f....... scumbag and don't care about anyone but yourself, Well according to these self-proclaimed pandemic experts which are rising on social media faster than the number of people infected with Covid19.
It's true that media is a fear mongering mass propaganda machine, but in this case it is true that the virus is more serious - it is a genuine fear, HOWEVER, it is the way people are reacting to it that is totally the opposite. People are in panic mode and going crazy, some are refusing isolation or listening to advice, they are incubators and spreaders of the virus. Remember that this mf of a virus does not spread on its own - it is people who are spreading it.....
This is the time where media is actually under reporting cases, why ? Because there are several thousands of people who are waiting for their results or not tested yet. So all those cases you hear about are confirmed cases, they don't account for the several thousands cases that are pending, this is why you can see cases DOUBLING from one day to another, giving you the impression that the virus is spreading fast, when in reality these were people ALREADY infected but who were not tested or not received results yet....
There are more cases in Europe than China. Canada was doing well, now it is getting worse and worse, cases have gone up 6x the past couple of days, again this could be due to existing infections not being confirmed yet. The media does not insist much on that, all they are doing is reporting new cases, so it makes it seem like there are "NEW" cases, when most of these cases are pre-existing.......so people panic and go "OMG OMG 600 new cases today OMG I am going to dieeeeeeeeeeee" This is how the media manipulates information. BUT you better believe this virus is real business, it's SERIOUS, it's more serious than we thought, and the WHO lied and tried hard to minimise things to avoid panic and market collapse Had it declared a world emergency sooner, the whole world would have taken action EARLY and really helped stop the spread. BUT they waited until disaster happens - well now it's kinda too little too late,
the cases have not reached their PEAK yet, because there are who knows hundreds of thousands who have not tested yet, some will never bother being tested and continue spreading the virus.
The good news, the world won't have to deal with Bernie Sanders, the socialist with a potty mouth, the bad news, America will likely deal with a democratic win - this is really going to slow market recovery but at least the market won't plummet an extra 40% over a Sanders win
Darkstar2!! it's hard to give a precise number of deaths worldwide each year, But it's in the millions (Covid19 has now killed around 9000 in 3 months), The reason i use this reference is NOT!! to discard this pandemic in any way by downsizing something that in the future could become a real problem.
Do these numbers scare me?? The hell they don't. We need to wait at least a little longer before we start to lose our heads and see where this is going (maybe you can find me in a bunker in 3 months time ).
If our governments wanted the full control over it's population they should cover all types of the flu 24/7 like we do with covid19, We would be pissing in our pants all day long without being able to do anything constructive than raiding all shelves of toilet-paper.
My biggest problem with this is more the mob-mentality that creates panic and excludes anyone else as simple morons regardless whether their case is valid or not.
