Starting to get a bit scary!

                                        Coronavirus! 

This coronavirus is starting to concern me, a lot. Mostly because of the way people are mass hoarding supplies and food! Borders are closing, which means no food or supplies are coming through from country to country. If we aren't getting food or supplies from other countries that we rely on, then what the FUCK are we supposed to do?! 

Grocery stores are having shelves that are empty and aren't getting deliveries to replenish their supplies and food as fast as they're flying off the shelves. 

People are mass buying toilet paper of all things and hand sanitizer, face masks, gloves and Lysol wipes and cleaning supplies. They're even buying bleach and alcohol. There here's me just buying the shit I typically need. I'm not mass panic shopping but now I think I should be ONLY because of all the other crazy people who are doing it. If I don't stock up, when will I have a chance to get what I need if everyone else is hoarding?! 

Line up's at the stores are nuts, people are FIGHTING over toilet paper and other supplies. It's seriously pathetic. There's so much fear in the world over this stupid virus right now it's like the end of the world is about to happen from the way people are acting. People need to seriously CHILL THE FUCK OUT!! I mean, do you SERIOUSLY need 20 bags of toilet paper that has 18 rolls per bag? NO you really don't! And these ASSHOLES that are SELLING toilet paper, Lysol, cleaning supplies and hand sanitizers online for hundreds of dollars... YOU are FUCKING PRICKS! That's not okay! What about the elderly who really NEED these supplies and can't get out of their homes to buy it everyday like the rest of you? Do you even care about that? 

What about people like me who have 3 kids in their home and need toilet paper and other supplies and can't get them because assholes are hoarding this shit?! It's completely unfair to us NORMAL people who are NOT in panic mode and just want to buy our NORMAL supplies and food for our homes and kids. GIVE YOUR HEADS A SHAKE PEOPLE and CALM THE FUCK DOWN! It's NOT the end of the damn world. You're NOT going to DIE tomorrow. It's a virus, sort of like the bad flu. If someone likes ME who has a weaker immune system isn't all freaking out, neither should any of you people. 

Stores are now having to HIDE things like toilet paper in the back and putting limits on buying them. It's so STUPID. It really is. I don't understand this mass panic. I live in a small farming community and we get supplies shipped to our town AFTER the big cities. So all you freaks need to chill on your selfishness and allow the rest of the damn world to have some shit too. I don't want to be feeding my kids CRAP food they won't enjoy or get any nutrition from because there's literally fuck all left. In our small town, there is ONE store, ONE, with toilet paper left and it's the WORST, hardest toilet paper out there. That's inexcusable. The grocery store here is almost out of frozen vegetables. They aren't getting another shipment for almost three weeks! That's a LONG time. Potatoes, they're almost all gone and when they are, there's no shipment for a while! This is pathetic. The worst part, here in Alberta we're pretty self-sufficient; we grown our own grains, we have gas and oil, we have our own Alberta meat grown and slaughtered and shipped to the stores BUT, anything else we need, comes from across the border and NO ONE is getting shit all from anywhere else and, it's WINTER!! There's no grain grown in the winter! Sure, the slaughterhouses are still up and running but, what happens when we run out of these animals? What happens when the rest of what we take for granted isn't being shipped to us?   

Not only is all of that an issue but what about when you can't go to work because your business is shut down or you've been diagnosed with this damn virus? How are you paying your rent or mortgage? How do you pay your bills? Is there going to be a relief fund for things like this? One country is setting up a policy that says if your place of work closes or you're off because you have the virus, all your rent and or mortgage and bills are on HALT! You don't have to pay, their government pays it for you! We should be doing that here. There should also be some relief for small business owners. If their business has to shut down, their employees should STILL be paid and the business should still have an income coming in. Even if it's HALF of what they normally made, it's better than nothing. 

I worry about all of this AND I worry about getting sick from this virus as well. I don't have a good immune system. It's the SHITS really. I have type 2 diabetes, I have PCOS, My kidney and liver don't work as well as they should, I have respiratory issues and I am such an anxious person. I can't handle large groups of people, I am TERRIFIED of heights, spiders and water I can NOT see the bottom of. I have a back problem. My L5 is fractured and I have spinal stenosis. It's VERY PAINFUL!! I am on so many medications I should be a walking pharmacy! 

I have a son with autism, learning disabilities, depression, anxiety and memory loss. His immune system is AWESOME but, if he was to get this virus, he wouldn't be able to express to me exactly how he is feeling! I have another son with ADHD, he was premature when he was born and his immune system is NOT good! He gets colds easily and when he's sick, he gets REALLY sick! Then my youngest son, he also has mild autism, learning disabilities and dyslexia. He also wouldn't be able to fully express to me how he's feeling either. 

Then there is my daughter, she's 21 and has two kids of her own! Her's are 3 and 6 months. If they got this virus, I'd be HIGHLY CONCERNED they'd get it really bad, especially her son that's 6 months old. He was 2 months premature and we don't know how well his immune system is and he's NOT had all his immunizations because he's only 6 months old. That really concerns me., 

I've seen some NASTY ASS PEOPLE who are diagnosed with the virus SPITTING on elevator buttons, on door handles, on walls, they're spitting on their own hands and touching things like door handles, car doors, toilets, ATM machines and DEBIT machines!! I KNOW business is NOT wiping those debit machines after EVERY SINGLE PERSON touches them! They're not wiping door handles after every person touches them. There's so many things people touch every day out in public, it's IMPOSSIBLE to clean it all after every single person touches it all. This virus is smart, it spreads well and fast and mutates! There's no cure, no immunization for it. Once you have it and you'll most likely get it, you have to wait and see how it's going to play out on your body. 

As they say in The Hunger Games, "May the odds ever be in your favour."
