Marvin Boggs Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 Crazier and crazier every day. Pushing that fear and panic with every breath. Now they are trying to scare young people with "you may not be as immune as you think" stories. Stock market carnage out the wazoo. Throttling back internet bandwidth to certain areas to maintain performance in other areas. Countries accusing each other of various lies and deceit. Personally I think someone at the WHO is going to have some explaining to do when this is all over. Thank God for Philippines! Where the weather is always nice, the girls always beautiful, and we don't survive on a thin supply chain (much). I'm still upbeat, boys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are thinking one way and you meet everyone else thinking the other way, do you ever ask who is thinking the wrong way? Remember the global warming thread . . everybody says that when all the scientists agree then they must be right. Just askin' for a friend. My family is self isolating except for going out to buy groceries and such. Every once in a while I wonder about the Covid 19 positives who are self isolataing who also have to eat. They may be in the grocery store too. But for now I figure eating is better than worrying. Anyway, the point I am making is to just relax and go with the flow. You can hold "WHO"ever accountable when its all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herd mentality is what it is, whether we are talking global warming or Corona virus. "Everybody says" is not always sound basis for a conclusion, especially when that everybody is a hyper-panic news machine more interested in getting a reaction than presenting objective information. I don't know why people must 'moo along' instead of analyzing and thinking for themselves, that has always been a mystery to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Boggs Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Oh I see what you mean. Yes I'm fighting the herd mentality. Always. The herd mentality right now is panic. By 'go with the flow' I was referring to take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was avoiding the herd mentality and not hoarding. I went grocery shopping yesterday and just bought a 2 week supply. Guess that was a mistake. Today the mayor announced "enhanced" rules. No more jeepneys allowed into the city, but taxis are still running (good way to punish the poor). We will have a hard time getting into the city, and it is the only decent grocery shopping around. The new anti-hoarding rules sets ridiculously low limits on items, like only 12 sachets of coffee, only 1 can of baby formula, only 6 rolls pf toilet paper (but S7R sells them in 12 packs?). Good thing we do not use paper at the house. Should have hoarded when I had the chance. Live and learn... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
