Someone here stole a cart of 'checked out' groceries when the purchaser was preoccupied. Seriously?

People panic about food. They probably got laid off at work and need to feed their family.

Interesting... I wonder if it will work. That was fascinating to read, by the way -- thanks for posting the link.

What would be helpful when media post these deaths is also mention the ages and prior health conditions of the patients, so we can be better informed to distinguish whether this is a virulent virus or a milder virus that mostly preys on those with compromised immune systems. It makes all the difference in the world when it comes to creating panic. From everything I've seen so far, with a few possible exceptions, this is a mild virus.

Some people are just thieves.

Yes! This!
For days no one would say who is actually dying, and I’m certain that this directly contributes to panic.

Someone else mentioned only passing along facts and not hearsay, if you want information I’d definitely suggest checking out the WHO website, it’s very interesting though a little dry

What surprised me today when I was shopping at Trader Joes was that no one was wearing a mask. Since there are a lot of retired people there I figured there would be a lot. The only place I saw someone wearing a mask was in Walmart, and he looked like a rough country boy you'd see in a honky-tonk bar. Didn't expect that.

I was a bit rushed when I posted about her passing. Sorry I did not include details.

She was in her 80's and had underlying health issues. The news did not reveal WHAT the underlying issues were. They did state she was not in an assisted or group living situation.

No problem. Just saying. Her death is unfortunate, but it's what we expect because that's the crappy situation we're in - we all die, and those who live as long as she did are blessed to have such a long life. No reason to panic. This whole body count thing the media are fixated on reminds me of the body counts the TV evening news would give every day during the Vietnam war. Like it was a game or something "Yay we're winning because we killed more of them than they killed of us."
