People in general act like idiots when something like this happens. They acted like idiots when Obama beat McCain in 2008. Stripping the gun racks of anything that went bang. They acted like idiots again after the Sandy Hook Shooting... Standing in line to buy overpriced rimfire ammo, then hoarding it, which brought on an almost 5 year "shortage". All of it based on stupidity.
And now they're doing it with Coronavirus. Stripping the shelves of toilet paper, paper towels, guns, ammo, chicken and beef... Name it. The stock market is in free fall, losing roughly 1/3rd of it's value in just one month. The first death in this country from this happened at the end of February. Roughly a month ago. Thus far there have been just over 1,000 deaths total in the U.S. from this.
In 2019 alone, an estimated 38,800 people lost their lives to car crashes. That amounts to roughly 3,233 a month. Or over 3 times more in a single month, than all the U.S. deaths from Corona since this whole thing started.
Yet look how everyone is acting. That should be scaring people far more than the virus. The government is running around like a chicken with their head cut off, about to pi$$ away another $2 TRILLION dollars because of this. Another 10%+ added to the National Debt, that will never be paid off.
In another year they'll have a vaccine for this. In another year another 38,000+ will still be dying in car wrecks. Perhaps even more. No one will say anything. They're more worried about the fossil fuel they all burn.
I'm not saying this virus should be ignored, or taken lightly. But this is nothing but disorganized insanity, being driven by adults acting like fools, and a 24/7 news cycle that has nothing else to talk about, 23 hours a day. And the people all buy into it like Lemmings running to the ocean for a swim.
