I was listening to the news a few minutes ago. The president said they had 'tremendous control over the coronavirus now'. No, that isn't true at all. I so, wish it was ... it isn't. They are just now making progress on testing ... they didn't speak of restricting people's movements ... it seems it is supposed to be okay to go out, mingle and live life normally. We can't do that right now ... not at all. Dr. Fauci said minutes later after the president said that ... '' everything is going to get worse before it gets better'. Common sense tells us that ... my gosh, look how late they are in doing anything positive to help people in our country. Every country is way ahead of us ... the USA. I don't think we are a role model anymore. That saddens me. We all want to be the best in the best ways. Just common sense tells me that ... everything can't help but, to get worse before it gets better in this case. Look at how people are fighting over a darn roll of toliet paper like it's gold. How shameful is that? I would give it to someone and go home without and ... find a way to make do. Life is about caring, giving ... not taking, hurting others. I couldn't walk away hogging things others need too. Could you? Are you a hog? I hope not. I love pigs ... but, not human pigs who are greedy.

People are panic buying like the world is ending every time they hear emergency crisis situation they go crazy and off there heads. Buying ten thousand rolls of toilet paper and 500 bottles of sanitizer and not leaving any for anyone else is pure greed and hoarder mode as you say save some for the next person we all need too wipe are butts and sanatize our hands.

I don't know what those people are thinking as they buy in excess. It is shameful. If people would simply buy normal ... the supply would stay the same. You are always going to have 'human hogs' who take any, everything to keep others from having it.

Some people "get it" others just don't seem to comprehend. The numbers are going up....I'm trying to stay safe, not obsessively, but sensibly....stay home, or if you go out...a walk in the woods seems safe.

That's exactly how Skip and I are doing ... being sensible, not going overboard, staying to ourselves, walking ... we haven't been going anywhere near people. I really don't think it wise to be around others for some time to come. It's so sad to say ... we have to be realistic ... our lives have changed more drastically than even we know ... each day brings home something else new. Be so safe.

Agree that it will get worse before it gets any better. During this trying times, the true character of individuals show. Certainly, greed is something that we do not want to see.

Very true , pigs are cool, just people give them a bad name. Human pigs are indeed bad for everyone.

Pigs are cool, very intelligent, you are right. Human pigs are just the opposite in my opinion.

I can't blame the President or the administration for the behavior of the people. It's their panic that is making things worse oh and the call of the all mighty dollar. Yes, not rich people worship that little green god too. Next time you see some innocent looking individual loading their buggy with every last bit of toilet tissue ask yourself. Now do they really think 'they' are going to need it or are they going to be one of those pigsters hawking it on ebay for a $100 a roll? This panic and behavior of the people is on THEM here in America, not our leaders.
