What ?

I hope that gives you meaning and happiness in life .

Take a chill pill :) You said this crisis wouldn't just end, at the same time you said it would go back to normal. That to me is a contradiction, you could clarify what you meant to us illiterate irish potato farmers.

The "crisis" will not end any time soon, instead I think we will figure out how to manage the virus and things will more or less go back to normal

Well if things go back to normal, that means this particular crisis is over. I don't understand what you're saying

In these past weeks we have learned to really make use of our technological advantages. Technologies that we may have avoided because people don't always like change.

I think this period will properly introduce everyone to the advanced online world we've spent the past decades creating - and I think it will stick. I think webshops and online shopping in general will see a significant permanent boost in sales, and "physical" stores will likewise see less customers.

Now that teachers and educators have been forced to learn and use the online platforms, we will see them being used even more, also after the crisis is over.

I do not however feel that the coronavirus outbreak will teach any kind of lesson - not regarding the economy, nor the environment or public health/sanitation. People tend to not learn from history, and I don't think this will be any different.

I am sure you are aware that this is actually Bronto.

I am new to the site, have no idea who bronto is.

I was only messing with that person :)

No, you are burritolnch pretending to hate burritolunch, to make him seem cooler. Im onto you burritolunch, ain't foolin me.

You do not speak for all females though.

Obviously, since no one can.

I am turned on by women who verbally and physically assault me. Does that mean all men are into that

That was obviously not the point of my argument.

1. I don't think kindness is equivalent to declaring how much you like somebody.

2. But you're right, I do not relate to that article.

As a female, I must say, kindness is definitely a plus if you want to get in my pants.

No? I wasn't arguing for the solution, I was only contemplating.

What would I gain by pretending to be a female ?

no human is obligated to deal with your healthcare by force

You know that all doctors take an oath? This is part of the oath, called the hippocratic oath:

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

Here is a list of recent world epidemics and their origins:

Zika virus - Uganda

Ebola - Congo

Corona virus (2012) - Middle East

Swine flu (H1N1) - Mexico

Mumps outbreak - Canada

AIDS/HIV - Congo

H2N2 - Russia

Haha! Well there was a hoarding craze here, but once people realized its not a problem it stopped :p

I went to grocery shop today - was not in need of toilet paper, but they didn't see overly out of stock of any necessities.

Who knows, they did have a problem with riots in the streets prior to this virus. Now the streets are empty.

You can still get your privacy by locking the booth like usual :)

This problem would easily be solved by simply quitting gender-segregated bathrooms altogether.

How many of the have nots are have nots due to laziness or a lack of ambition

Are you saying that health care rights are only for those with ambition and success in their life?

Given that I live in Europe, I'd be fairly unaffected by a quarantine lockdown in the us.

Here in Denmark extreme measures have been taken - all school (from daycare to universities) have closed, since Im an elementary school teacher Im out of a job for the time being - but we are getting paid, so it's not a problem. I try to stay busy with stuff, tons of projects to take on here at home.

It is however taking a major toll on the industry, so I honestly believe this will be the start of a financial crisis.

I think there are several factors to consider. The most important one is the fact that around a 5th of the world population lives in China, so it makes sense that a lot of diseases originate in the most populated area of the world.

It's like asking how come most car-accidents happen on roads - that's where the cars are :)

The coronavirus isn't that deathly. It's just very contagious.

agreed :)
