Maybe an idea for a new tat.
Breaking news:Just being announced on BBC radio 4. All schools in the UK to close on Friday.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_fourfm
In other news. The Eurovision song contest, and Glastonbury 2020 are cancelled. What chance for the Olympics, and, *crosses fingers* Christmas being cancelled this year.
Maybe next year Asante. At least it saves the UK of coming last again. Although the whole thing may have to find other funding if / when Boris -fucki- Jonhnson succeeds in destroying the BEEB a major benefactor of the event, and the only reason we're in the finals every year.
Back to fretting. My daughter just back from a holiday in Thailand with her BF, self isolating and working from home, in that London , for the next weeks.

Or did we just run around panicking like a bunch of headless chickens because we got hyped up by all the fear mongering and showed our contempt for others and our stupidity by hoarding toilet paper?
But normal life is so boring, and this is so exciting! It's just like all the movies and TV shows, but now I get to participate!

Lots of people live/work/interact with elderly or medically compromised people who have a significant chance of dying if they catch this, especially when the hospitals are overrun, which 100% will happen if we don't respond, as we've seen in Italy and China.
Those 150k a day will keep dying and millions more needing emergency medical care for other reasons, at the same time the tidal wave of COVID patients will be flooding the system. Unless we do a successful quarantine that delays things and slows the curve, states that have ~300 ICU beds available will need thousands for covid alone, for weeks per person. Simple/common things like a burst appendix or impacted hernia may become a death sentence when all the doctors are beyond swamped.
Much of the hoarding is really misguided, sure, but I'd say a lot of what I'm seeing is the opposite of contempt for others. Young healthy people isolating is showing they're actually willing to sacrifice to protect others. Although lately I've been reading a lot about perfectly healthy young people dying also, which does stress me a little being a former smoker with asthma who's prone to pneumonia

I'm with Asante in that I think a pain points are very much required for the growth of individuals or societies. We've been stagnating and sliding back in what matters and raping the world for so long we need a wake up call, and I'll happily lay down my life for that to happen.
This isn't going to wipe out humanity, just like every other pandemic that ever happened. I just hope that people really do wake up after this.

By the end of the day just as many people will be dead in Italy than died in China. Italy has 1/20th the population of China. 475 people died in the past 24 hours

The situation in Italy is like having a commercial plane crash every day for a week then having two a day for a week and then four a day then eight a day.

Personally I think there will be huge increase in nationalism after this.
People dont care about foreigners and refugees when a crisis hits home
Its pretty much every country for itself here in the EU now

The healthcare system is overwhelmed.
If you have a disease where 12% needs hospitalization, 5% is critical and yet none of these people actually can access a hospital, its lethal like it will be in Africa 
That means the US too, you have a bright and shiny medical establishment.. but if the pupulation of people in genuine need simply doubles, bam, you're maxed out.
All others are then, even in the US, in a situation Where There Is No Doctor (survival eBook)

I don't understand how you got that from Koods post.
He isn't justifying people hoarding toilet paper, he is justifying the fact that this situation is not normal and anybody who is in denial likely also doesn't believe in climate change.
150,000 people die a day, that's great. That doesn't mean we need to add an additional 150,000 unnecessary deaths to happen because "I'm not scared of no flu!".
And as far as I can tell Koods has very little ill competent for the human race; you might need to do some self reflection JSB.
