Coronavirus

Isnt there a news report this morning about someone spreading it deliberately. Ironically I think that was Australia too.

 

No one is allowed to leave...

Statistically there will be some no doubt, though a tiny minority. Issue obviously is 1 nut can end up infecting 100s or 1000s over time directly and indirectly

Picked my oldest up from Uni, no job so can't afford to stay there.

 

Yep. And that middle group appears to be the smallest.

 

I wonder though, how much of a % of total panic buying, does talk of panic buying cause
Ideas can be brain viruses and spread much faster than an actual virus.

I swear, even though there is zero supply issues here, just being on this forum has my panic buying meter twitching

 

well, that's really a matter of perspective, it could quite easily be argued that the people stopping Covid running it's course and, by natural selection, cull the old, sick and susceptible from a vastly overpopulated planet, are the people who are really the self-interested asswipes. They're too afraid of the emotional loss that will happen anyway regardless to let what needs to happen happen.

less people means less mouths, less consumption of resources, less environmental damage.

 

Absolutely. Fear is definitely infectious, and so is panic buying.

People hear about shops with empty shelves, so they rush to the shops to empty the shelves - as fast as the staff can fill them up again.

 

wish I'd done that with the bread, can't have a sausage sandwich with ****ing hot-cross buns.

 

it could be argued, but only by an arsehole

 

All the smaller shops are fine, just been in one of the small M&S and they had everything.

 

surprised it's not you arguing it then.

 

Don’t see why not, you might be onto something there.

 

food for thought pal

 

Thats no way to speak about David Attenborough .

 

so you got me some long grain rice & Rigatoni i take it .

 

If the press didn't report it , people wouldn't know .

 

Now is not the time to use this to wish for things you've wanted all along
That's No1 on my recent list of things that annoy me about people at this time

99% of life was killed by geology or other creatures not humans. Geological processes have destroyed more eco systems than we've ever known ourselves.
A chimp will rip your scrotum off so you cant reproduce

We're not all that mate, when we're gone, it;ll be like we were never here in a 1000 years.

We're not so bad, "ask the people in Pompei if they felt like a threat to the planet" - George Carlin

FYI we have been told about overpopulation doom since the 70s and Paul Erlich, everything he predicted was typical of blinker "science". Millions dead by the 90s it was claimed. He never even considered technological advancement of human civilization (even though his time was a far cry from 1900) Like duh.

We produce enough food for around 12 billion, every year. Enough to feed 2 billion their daily calorie intake at least, is thrown in the garbage. Vast quantities of meat is thrown out globally by supermarket chains alone.

All in the name of international trade of course.
