Thread: Corona Virus

Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability.^[1] The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.^[2] Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term. It is similar to imbecile and idiot.^[3]

Still confused.

If you have adequate supplies to last..... lets say 2 weeks at least your a moron.
But if you neglected to notice demand went WAY up your intelligent?

Got it.

So its certainly not unreasonable to follow suit.

You snooze you loose.

The government has stockpiled pandemic supplies for years now, Not just the last few weeks.
What actually "lit the fuse" for this currant panic buying is the media sensationalising this outbreak Not the government.
As far as dunny rolls go I can't see the "Urgency" to have hundreds stashed away in the house because we are Not going to run out of supply anytime soon.
Food and disinfectants I can understand But dunny rolls for Christ's sake.

As for depriving others of supplies because everyone else is buying up big and simply following that trend like Sheep being "Natural Behaviour" Well I am glad I don't "Behave" in that manner

What about the 20 million the Government got a few weeks ago before there was really any cases in Aus?

There will be sad stories, but it does not change REALITY.

Reality is, DEMAND went up. We can all ask why or whatever but that is irrelevant really.

For well over a week this has been all over news and the net.

I expect most cleaning items and most food items (especially long life) will be hard to get.

Knowing this is it not the responsibility of YOU to do something about it rather than complain?

Hopefully demand will slow and production will increase but until then it is what it is.



Added..

Also to assume people buying more than normal because of a demand increase means they are trying to take off more needy people is a stretch.
Your not looking at the situation properly here.

Why, just yesterday I sewed some more carrot and lettuce seeds and planted a few 'taties.
Perhaps I should plant a date tree and produce my own 'Date Rolls'?

Certainly are a heap better than Bog Rolls. Besides, one gives you the ****s & the other helps clean you up post ****.

I am not saying that people are deliberately trying to deprive people of supplies, What I am saying is that they don't give a rats arse about anyone else as long as they have plenty.
Most people with half a brain have a well stocked pantry and freezer ALL the time and as such don't need to Panic buy anything, Talk about shutting the gate After the horse has bolted.

The flu season comes around every year and kills hundreds of people and yet there isn't a mad run on dunny paper then So why the mad panic now.
Sheeple will always panic and follow the mob, This doesn't make their actions "rational" at all.
In a week or so after all this "Fluff" has died down and the stores have replenished their stocks I will head into town and replenish my stores just like I have been doing for the last few decades, Now That is "Rational" behaviour
