I would advice not reading the news, because the news thrives on negative news and that is bringing our culture and our minds to paranoia and breaking points. This virus is scary, but it will pass eventually.
The problem isn't the virus, it is people acting irrationally, selfishly, and frankly stupidly. The supply chains are over taxed because people are being greedy and are buying too much stuff. We are losing jobs, because the governments and news made choices that made people fear going outside, interacting with people, and basically having some sort of normal life. Yes, Social Distancing is important, but there can be ways to social distance that don't cripple the economy. (South Korea has done it.) And there are ways to manage the supplies of masks, and equipment through regulation that prevents people from hoarding. This virus is dangerous, but civilization itself is making it worse, and it is frustrating to watch.
Manufacturing needs to come back to every country, and lets stop being foolish about buying everything from the cheapest country just because we can. We can manufacture our own masks well enough. Countries can invest in providing themselves which will create jobs, create energy solutions, create food solutions. This is a chance for countries to realize that although the world is an international economy, it is time to value the local national workforce, even if it means a higher cost of living and sacrifice.
It means people need to learn to actually care for the neighbors again, and not live selfishly...not live in a manner that you think as long as I have my health and so do my loved ones it is OK. This isn't even that hard, South Korea is fine...and I think other countries are handling this better too.
But for America, we have to learn it isn't us vs. them. Dems vs. Republicans. Poor vs Rich. Ethnicity vs Ethnicity or whatever stupid division you want to break the world into. And we have to reclaim truth and fight against stupid fake news, opinions, and everything having an agenda.
This has turned into a rant and I am sorry for that, but it is exhausting and stupid to see the world going this way.
