I was one of those early panicking people like 2 months ago. I was a pretty frequent poster on the big CV threads and was sure we were going to all die. But here's the thing, and you can look at current threads and see the same thing. Everybody kept moving the goal post "if this happens if that happens" and then they stop setting milestones, it was and still is, wait 2 weeks, wait another week, it'll be really bad in a week, in 2 weeks in a month. That's all I've heard since the inception of this thing. I guess I'm just worn out from waiting for our unavoidable doom. If it happens, it just does. But I really feel as if everyone needs to take a step back and gain some perspective on this.
And by the by, I really think this is mostly because of the Media, talking in vauge terms, trying to make people panic. Panic is great for the media, it damages Donald trumps economy and makes people act irrational, both of which they cover with glee.

I work at Walmart. I see the TP hoarders. Trust me, it's the same people who hoard guns and ammo.

Yea seriously... I need to go actual grocery shopping and dreading the lineups.
I went to costco to get some zip lock sandwich bags, and cat litter, and a slice of pizza on the way out, I just walked in and walked right out again. It was nuts.

here's a tip, every time you feel the need to compare it to the flu, punch yourself in the face.
thanks

It's funny how CNN quickly terminated the New York Governor's press conference when he started describing what a good job President Trump and Mike Pence are doing for his state.

This needs to go at the top of every CV thread.
