THIS PANIC IS A SCAM!

And, frankly, THE CONSTANT NEWS COVERAGE IS MAKING IT WORSE.

Yes, there is a virus going around, but it's really only dangerous to older people, like myself, or people with underlying health conditions of a certain type.

Although my hunch is that there's a political motive behind it, I don't really know who's responsible, but this PUBLIC PANIC to get water and toilet paper and other goods from grocery stores is bulls**t!

Yet, businesses are shutting down; planes aren't flying; people are "coming to blows" in stores; and the madness isn't stopping.

THE WORLD IS NOT COMING TO AN END!

A worldwide scam where thousands have already died instituted for political reasons?  Please, spare us your nonsense

So, the world IS coming to an end?

I was responding to your statement that there is a political motive behind it

Don't be naïve.

I'm not denying there is a virus, but I have never seen a widespread panic like we are currently experiencing.


Of course it's a left-wing plot.  We Democrats spent eons committing the left-wingers of the globe to step in and help us.

I'm looking for an experienced Voice Actress to do the audio version of my one-woman stage play, MISS AUDREY HEPBURN.  It's Royalty Share.  If you know somebody, please have them check out the project on ACX.

My neighbors Jen and Ann had vacation plans in Italy for spring break.  I don;t know what their plans are now.

I've started watching Robert Altman's Images for the first time in more than 20 years. It's very disturbing. I think I shall have to watch this one in bits and pieces.

The one thing this is not is a political plot.  The panic and hysteria is palpable and I've spent two full notes talking about the reasons for it, which, for me, are simple: The media's glee in how they're dealing with this - they do live for this stuff and the ratings and clicks it brings - and social media fueling it in a way that is unheard of - the swine flu of a decade ago cause no panic shopping, no nothing, because social media was nothing then like it is today.  People post all those empty shelf photos and people's insanity automatically kick in and panic and hysteria ensues.  Last night, Facebook was filled with posts from people saying they'd be up at six in the morning to hit the market, so everyone does that.  It's human nature and not the good part of human nature.  Then you have people who are truly evil buying up this stuff for resale - when I see photos of the lines in Costco I see a bunch of smiling mom and pop store owners who get their stuff from big box stores, because they know they can immediately mark up this stuff and get away with it.  And then there are the people, and these I've seen with my own eyeballs, who go to the market every day to restock their already overloaded freezers and garages.  I don't do conspiracy theories because they're inane in the end and rather pointless.  This, too, shall pass, and it would pass a lot more quickly if everyone would just calm down, just as the swine flu, which was, at this point, much worse, did.

I just looked this up, Images was made a year after Straw Dogs. There are a number of similarities here with the couple whose marriage is on the rocks going off to a house in a remote part of Ireland.

The current state of things in Europe, according to today's Le Parisien.  The hardest hit seem to be popular tourist countries.

I really doubt there are only 47 cases in Russia.

I just got a call from my dad asking if I could come over and help set up his phone.  He is hard of hearing and was able to get a special voice-to-text phone that displays on a screen what callers say to him.  Hopefully, I'll be able to understand the instructions.

Have a good rest of the day, all!

Awww....Jon Provost posted some pictures from his 10th birthday party.....one of the guests was Susan Gordon!  Jon, Flip Mark (friend of DR JANE), Jay North....don't know the boy sitting next to Susan.

This is from Facebook, so I don't know if you will be able to see it if you are not a friend of Jon's there.


I can see it and I'm not Jon's FB friend.  I wonder if you just need to have Facebook to see it?

This was some months before I met Flip.  Of course I already knew Susan.

Do they have a room for you?

I was referring to the studio apartment I live in.

I know but you have talked about the possibility of moving back to Ohio.

Are you saying that the scam is people are not really panicking?  It is upsetting that they are panicking but I don't understand how it can be a scam.

The youngest person diagnosed with COVID-19 is a newborn baby. 

People can't get tested to know what they have and are being misdiagnosed.  Healthy people have died from this or been very sick.  Without proper testing we can't know the exact figures.

You are right, the world is not coming to an end.  Most people are not panicking.

According to Johns Hopkins they have 63 cases, not to say they don't have more they haven't reported.

Have you been to your grocery store during the last few days?

Have you tried to buy toilet paper?

Yes, I have been shopping.  What I have seen is that people have been calm about it.  I was tempted to buy more TP, and admittedly am concerned it won't be restocked in the stores, but left it for those you need it more than I do.

Yes DR VIXMOM that is the way it works.....as far as I know it is NOT voice recognition software, but person placing the call will call the service to make the call and then type the words so that it will be transmitted to the receiver on the screen.

BUT - it may have been improved and work in more technical way now.

Decades ago we had the Relay Service....a person wanting to call a deaf person called the Relay Service that then placed a TTY call to the deaf person.....TTY flashes letters on the screen through sounds like a telegraph....but I am assuming that is all obsolete now.
