[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 756265, member: 23706"] I am far more worried about those who panic and buy up the stores than the coronavirus. They are closing events here too plus the colleges. What next? I am not seeing anything productive from the government at all. Young families with kids, if schools shut down, will have to.stay home if daycares also shut down. There are some home based women I know who.would probably babysit at a premium price. Jaden's sitter is a distant relative and already said she isn't afraid of the virus and will sit for Amy's school aged kids. Most are not that lucky. I personally have never seen our country's citizens acting this scared nor our government this ineffective. i am not taking sides politically. Nobody is soothing nerves or coming up with good ideas on how to handle this. I do not believe that terrifying so many people is in our country's best interest. Scared people are not rational and may fight, literally, over toilet paper. Calm and cool thinks better. I really don't appreciate the media lighting a fire under the feet of our citizens who tend to panic. All three news channels are serving no good purpose in my opinion and I hope even more people turn off the news or trade cable for Netflix. Most of all, I see the media as causing this extreme fear. Fear sells. I will never turn those cable news channels on again. I remember a time when we had strong, smart leaders in our country. in my opinion we don't right now on either side of the aisle. I pray that people will mostly stay calm and use common sense. [/QUOTE]
