    And then there are those people who think zombie apocalypse movies are documentaries, and they aren't helping matters lol.
    So which of those two buckets are your putting yourself in?

      Have you not been online at all in the past day?

      IRL I know people who have been stocking on bleach and paper towels, and they keep telling me the government is hiding the real numbers. They are irrationally afraid.

        It's actually worse than the government hiding the real numbers - they actually don't know the real numbers because our system and the resources available do not allow for us to find out.

        That's a very rational fear.

          Dude I work retail and people are nuts man. There is definite panicking. Not everybody but there is for sure sheep syndrome going on where people don't know what to do so they just follow what others are doing. It's actually a very interesting thought experiment about the psychology of people when they feel like they have no control and don't know how to gain it.

            I wasn't doubting him just curious where he's been pulling all this from.

            Personally nobody I know has behaved this way. Yet.

            But I've seen plenty from the opposite end and to me that's a little bit more alarming.

                  That's not really worse for certain people. Not for people who want to believe the worst case scenario for everything. A lot of the people stocking up bunkers full of supplies are the people out in rural areas who think everything is a lie/conspiracy. Government incompetence is just a normal unfortunate reality.

                    TBH, it's not rational to view this as anything but a serious community wide health concern. If you're talking just about the people who are making it so that toilet paper is sold out everywhere then sure, that's a bit ridiculous.

                    If you're saying that this is just a blip on the radar, well then you're saying that you know better than World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, and every other entity in the world whose sole focus is community health and are telling us that "hey this isn't the end of the world, but this is a very serious problem and will only get worse if we don't contain it". Hopefully a week or a month from now the nay-sayers can say "I told you so" and this just blows over. Until then though, it's a highly contagious virus with many unknowns that we have neither vaccines or viral medications for.

                      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                      I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                        If you're talking about people who don't care about other people, and don't have the common decency to be a little more careful, sure. Those people are probably more scared than anyone, and they're being flippant and blunt as a defense mechanism.

                          I'm about to be off for 2 weeks, and was looking forward to the tourney.

                          Talk about March Madness.....

                              Well, we still have gaming right guys? Probably no better time to get through your logs of games and movies you haven’t seen. Gonna have to ride this out for a little while.

                                Disneyland is closed.

                                Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags America join Disney and Universal Studios in closing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
