I guess it just goes to show that People as individuals are smart, but people in groups can very stupid.
Methinks it goes a long way to explain how helpless they all feel in front of a situation that practically noone of us has ever been in. For most of Western Europe this is the first major crisis in living memory. Our parents and grandparents have lived through one or even two wars, but most people born here after 1945 have never been in a situation where they were unable to travel, go out, or shop at their leisure. So, yes it's idiotic to buy ridiculous quantities of TP or bottled water. Still, I think we should cut them some slack. It's their way to deal with an abstract danger and an enormous insecurity. If a truckload of TP makes them feel a little better, well, let them have it. Ralf -- Ralf R.
