The first point is exactly what I'm thinking too. If you have a family that goes through it fast you don't want to have to use cloth materials. Still people are being incredibly ignorant to their neighbors. They don't need 3+ packages of 72 rolls. Anyone buying pallets of this stuff should be refused unless it's for a business to spread. Like a church or something.
For the second point the main reason why people are worked up about it is because we can't do anything for severe viral pneumonia caused by COVID-19. Viral pneumonia presents itself exactly like COVID-19 symptoms. If it's severe enough you get put on a ventilator and you either survive or you don't. Bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. So a lot of people won't get it but little ones, predisposed and the elderly can't survive normally. So we put this people on ventilators. Here's the real problem. We have about 500k ICU rooms in the whole US. We have 350 million people. If even 1% of people get the viral pneumonia at too close of a time period we won't have enough ventilators to save them. This is exactly why people are dying fast in Italy. Our goal is to isolate early in the hopes of slowing it down. I know people are very skeptical but it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. It's not about IS healthy people it's about the ones who are vulnerable.
I know this isn't the most appropriate place for it but jokes aside it is a serious matter. I'm a RN in the state of Ohio but I haven't practiced medicine for 6 years because I work in IS. I'm fully planning to be mandated to work again by the hospital that I work for.
Very good post. Im quarantined right now (Germany) as a colleague propably has it and I'm a teacher. Stay safe people.
