So basically the Readers Digest summary of your POV is that this isn't all that big of a deal and the government should've acted more swiftly/earlier to deal with this something that isn't all that big of a deal? LOL The contradiction in your post is Jedi-master strong! LOL
I had plans for the day and evening so didn't pay to close attn to what Overdone wrote in his manifesto yesterday morning . I just read though it very carefully . Your 100 percent correct .
So OVERDONE....
I don't believe in bullying or ganging up on somebody. But seriously .
You do realize name calling is a childish and emotional reaction, correct . Which is something you seem to habit of doing .
Calling me "batshit crazy, emotional irrational fear is a little much"
Is absolutely off by a mile. My post was observational and voiced with concern over the lack of some people not taking the situation seriously . As nobody I know is freaking out, irrational or in a panic. The panic buying . It happened a couple /three days but that seemed to have levelled off a bit as retailers are limiting certain items to one per customer .In Victoria anyways.
Your response to Mikema
Calling him irrational and emotional .It could very well be argued that he made a decision based on lack of knowledge of the customer in front of him touching all the buns. Even without the virus I probably would have moved along as it's kinda gross. Mikema has no idea if this guy feeling up the buns is infected . Grocery store employees have been wearing gloves a couple weeks now. So he played it safe, Def nothing wrong with that. Smart move on his part .
I would assume you play it safe with the ladies, correct ? If a lady told you she was HIV positive would you have sex with her?
If answered no. Very good. You would be being cautious. Which is what is going on here . All the closures, social distancing , self isolation , all of it . It's the authorities, health professionals , everyone playing it safe and being cautious doing there best to limit the spread of virus with no vaccine or cure that seems to be spreading exponentially and fast.
You keep stating it's no big deal, everybody is acting irrational and in fear but than you agree with practically everything that was said by myself and other posters with this comment .
"soap and water, just like with the normal flu season
stay at home if you're feeling sick, stay away from vulnerable people
instead we get people acting like twitter idiots
it's just too bad we don't have adults at the helm, "
That was pretty much what the OP's and ,my post was about . It's called self isolation . On a side note . The name calling , would you talk to people face to face like that. I'm thinking not. So why do it from behind your computer keyboard?
