In the spirit of community and hope for humanity I pledge going forward to be more thoughtful and less confrontational with my fellow BA’s. I love you all.
PS. Slapstick, Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other form of government or society structure. Yes there are winners and losers. But on average more are better off.

I'm implying the ongoing confrontation between "austeritists" and keynesianists, and how our countries and central banks will be forced into a new scheme that will essentially be incapable of accommodating austerity politics, as clearly relying on economy to help itself out won't be enough. Unfortunately, you seem keen on seeing everything I say in a distinct bipolar notion of a choice between Stalin and Lady Liberty, as if we're living in a caricature cold war world.

But it’s nothing new. The whole world has their palms open looking for free bucks from Uncle Sam. Just like always. When our own populace starts expecting it, that’s the beginning of the end. Peace, Brother.

I work at a grocery store and every time I clock in it's super crazy. It's so busy and they had to limit how much "post-apocalyptic" stuff you can buy(only 1 meat, 1 bag of toilet paper, 1 bag of paper towels per customer). I frequently see all the easy-to-prepare foods gone from the shelves and it makes my job much more stressful because there are so many customers. So I've been trying to buy toilet paper for like 2 weeks now as im actually almost out of toilet paper, but every time I come back to the store it's all empty. why do people feel the need to stock 100 rolls of toilet paper in their house

Maybe you'll have to order online from Amazon or something if you can't find it anywhere.

It’s the flu not diarrhea ffs Likely because there was so much hysteria about this whole thing before it even became the really serious problem it is now. When people are panicking, they automatically think they need to start stocking up on stuff like they're never leaving the house again. They probably thought if they'd be stuck inside the house for a month or 2, they better stock up on toilet paper. It's still stupid though, no one needs a year's supply of it!

Peace, Brother. Here is an interesting article. Especially the end. medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894The linked article ended up in such a controversy over unsubstantiated claims and misleading statements, that it was ultimately taken down by the media outlet itself. Goes to show that it's better for random partisan pundits with no qualifications to rely on scientific cadre a bit more in times like these. In other news, there was a significant damage causing earthquake down here, with Croat capital being hit the most, which sent out thousands on the street, despite the quarantine. I think some bandaiders here are from Zagreb area, so I wish them all the best (and to the rest of Zagrepcani too, of course).

I want to share my personal experience about the situation. The main reason is.. I am just so bored. ^^‘
Right now the number of cases are over 7000 in Switzerland, based on the information of the FOPH. 60 deaths. We are not allowed to meet in groups more than 5 people and for groups less than 5 people you have to keep enough distance. Schools, restaurants and all non-food shops are closed. It‘s recommended to stay at home. I think a lot of countries do that now.
For me as a student: I get online lectures and have to do the work at home. I have to say that I am already getting tired of it. Yes I am home but I have so much to do. It feels as if I have to do more than I would usually do at school. Besides that, I would LOVE to get out again. I can go for a walk and that‘s the only thing I‘ve got so I really hope that I can keep doing that. It‘s the first time for me being in such a situation. I was at the supermarket last Thursday and it made me so sad to see everything closed. It was such a weird feeling.
Maybe lyrically the leaked song „Bright“ doesn’t exactly fit in the situation but there are things that I can relate to right now. I keep on listening to this song and falling asleep.
Also it‘s the allergy season for me and these days I had to sneeze and cough a lot.
How about you? How are you feeling and experiencing this situation?

Usually I start buying those microfiber masks to protect myself from nearby flora, but I doubt I'll be able to have masks this year around. Being well versed in mask usage, I cringe at how many folk, even some medical personnel on TV, wear masks poorly adjusted on the face.

You are 100% correct about that article and I apologize for posting the link. I didn’t realize the author was a partisan hack putting out BS information. That’s why I deleted it.
