I don't know about you but, I wonder about many things. Of course, I have no way of knowing ... anything. I see everyone is doing the same thing. We wonder, hesitate to say a lot for fear of causing any panic to another person. I wouldn't ever do that intentionally as I believe in staying calm as possible ... no matter if you make a million mistakes ... never give up trying to be positive as possible. I mean if you fall down weeping, gnashing your teeth ... you feel like your world is going to h___ ... get yourself back up again no matter how hard it is ... do not ever give up. You just can't. You might have people, pets that depend on you. You ... depend on your own actions. Once you get back up ... make decisions no matter if you change your mind. Why? So, you feel you have some control over your life, destiny ... what happens. We have to ... we just have to do the best we can. Does this sound self-righteous? It isn't at all ... it is how we have to do to go on ... to survive this crisis, not just us but, the whole world is experiencing. Have you thought about that? The whole world ... is experiencing. We've never gone through something together ... the whole world ... and us. The whole world and ... us ... should unite but, it won't because of people who thrive on wars, hurting people ... killing. Why if they couldn't inflict pain on others ... what in the world would they do then? What about people who begin to get upset because they can't go out to get their hair styled? You know, they don't know how to fix it themselves ... they've been going to the beauty shop for many years. Yes, I know this is the last thing anyone needs to be upset over ... maybe it'll give them the chance to be just normal, relaxed ... realize a styled hairdo isn't the main thing in life. I'm glad I let my hair 'go wild', fluffy, soft ... natural. I love my wild hair! I think about so, so many females I know ... 'have to go' get their nails done all the time. Now ... they can't ... what in the world are they going to do now? I've never done that as I didn't want anything to change my nails. I've seen a lot of fingernails before the fake nails are put on ... it's scary. So, females will have to let their nails become healthy through all this. I am thinking all these businesses that depended on all cosmetic won't ever be the same after this crisis has passed. Businesses won't ever be the same again, why? Because ... people will learn they don't need everything they thought they did ... they will realize all the money they spent on things they could do for themselves ... not realizing they can do things, too. I don't think businesses will be so arrogant after all this ... they will wish they'd treated their customers better when they had them. Look at how cable tv has become ... our cellphones, internet ... all is so over-priced. When I say cellphones ... I value my cellphone but, the only calls I get each day for-real are robo calls. I don't have loved ones left ... all my closest family has passed away ... to call me. We pay too much for ... only receiving robo calls. There's no special plan for seniors who don't have anyone to call them ... or to take in consideration all the robo calls the companies don't protect the customer from. I know it's impossible for them too ... but, give the customer some credit for it. I am thinking of how ... where this crisis hits home at in our everyday, normal lives. I am thinking of how we will from this moment on ... live in a new-normal world unlike what we've known ... all of our lives. I pray for a good ... new-normal world. I am glad to say I have always been able to take care of my own hair, nails ... so on. I don't depend on all those things one will learn to do without for some time. My main concern is to have food, water ... necessary medicines, supplies for home. This is everyone's main concern ... hopefully people will settle down ... so, everyone can have what they need too. The strange thing is ... no one ever needed to panic. What was that about?

especially the toilet paper one, While other people are killing each other because of toilet paper rolls, I am very relax and not having that worry because I have a bidet.

I am laughing. It is amazing how everyone went for the toliet paper before getting anything else ... like there wasn't anything else to use. Priorities are in the wrong place ... I am picturing an actual fight with people throwing rolls of toliet tissue at each other ... that instantly came to mind when I read your words!

Muhammad, I agree. If we can somehow find the strength to stay calm ... make good decisions ... we can.
