We know the idiots hoarding bottled water have zero idea about how viruses spread, the water supply, and anything, really. The toilet paper people are similarly perplexing, but their idiocy is at least worth consideration. [Reply]
Now with immediate communication with technology(a la social media) it is so much easier to manipulate the masses with (monkey see monkey do) go into immediate panic mode exposing just how mentally and emotionally soft not only our nation and culture are but the rest of the world as well. Critical thinking skills have been totally lost for sure.:-) [Reply]
Chinese most of them are Chinese here. There is going to be a major blowback on a global scale, culturally speaking IMO. I already see it here. [Reply]

Congratulations.
You've won the award for the worst post in this entire thread.
I think people who are saying people are panicking are the ones I'm worried about. Is buying too much food and TP panicking? Panicking is trampling each other. Robbing and looting houses. Assaults. I haven't seen any evidence of that. [Reply]
I bet the hoarders will also be the ones demanding to be tested without real symptoms. I would be fascinated to see statistics on the demographic characteristics of hoarders. [Reply]

There isn’t a toilet in the bathroom (go figure) so I’d have to walk from the other bathroom with a dirty ass to the other end of the hallway. So far not needed to mainly because I have a 12 year supply of toilet paper [Reply]

Yeah people obviously dont know what real panicking is. As far as I have seen no one has fought over a pack of TP. If people were panicking itd be like black friday with people throwing down [Reply]

It’s basically the average Walmart shopper. [Reply]
Intitially, there were the 'entrepreneurs' who figured they could corner a market on something and make bank on resale. That's largely died off as resale centers like ebay have clamped down and social shaming has risen up.
But for the rest, I think it comes in stages. First you notice if you're short on supplies, then you talk yourself into the effort to resupply. THEN, when you get there and you see the mayhem, and you get caught up in the frenzy, you talk yourself into securing as much as your pocketbook and storage space will allow. Basically, when faced with a purchase decision, people are getting caught up in both the effort to get the supplies and how the frenzy of others affects how you think the next attempt will go.
