I don't participate in the world of fear and panic. I went to the grocery store last evening as I usually do. I saw a lot of frightened people doing silly things. As I went on my shopping round through the store, I observed that I must not shop the way the other folks do because most of the products I bought were fully stocked, as normal. The notable ones that were different were peanut butter … shelves almost bare (but I got my two jars), the tomato sauce lane was empty but for one small jar (I didn't need any, have a couple of jars at home), tomatos in Produce were nearly gone (but again I got what I buy in that domain), and of course the TP and paper towel lanes were bare … but we have plenty of those things at home as always. There was plenty of meat to choose from, plenty of coffee, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Yes, I bought another bunch of bananas. :) Most of what the coronavirus, COVID-19 scare does is piss me off: It means that there are fewer folks acting sanely, movie theaters have cut ticket sales down so people can sit spaced apart, several of my planned events are cancelled. Even my good buddies of thirty years don't want to get together for our weekly dinner out of fear. Pah. The virus is airborne so it's gonna spread everywhere. Our bodies will adapt to it in short order, and an inoculation against it will surface soon. It'll mutate into something else soon too. Take sensible precautions and ride it out. I'll be working/riding on my new bicycle, making photographs, and playing my piano while the madness continues. ...
