The Selfishness & Panic Concerns Me So Much More Than The Virus

I was raised to help others when/if I had the means to do so. While I applaud those people who are reaching out to help each other as best they can, there are other people who are seriously selfish & it shows. All those panic hoarding supplies without considering how others are affected concern me so much more than the virus itself, if I'm being honest here. How many people are struggling to eat from day to day now because stores have been basically raided? I called for cool heads to prevail over panic previously, and it bears repeating. People need to get a grip.

I am a bit surprised by this aspect of things as well, and have said time and time again that the REAL pandemic is the RESPONSE and the REACTION by people to this thing. Even last night there was hardly any meat and no toilet paper at the grocery store. I agree 1 million percent. People need to get a grip.

Yes ..true. This is a big problem. People who have enough funds are just behaving in an insensible manner.

Maybe the ONLY silver lining is that with all of this buying, these nuts will save the economy.

The side affects are much worse and will be longer lasting than the virus itself.
