RE: How's everyone coping with the Coronavirus situation? - Reggaesteem Discussion post.
This is what I like, a conversation, a sharing of experiences in the tribe. Great this idea @jk6276.jahm
Let's see, what you say about the paper, what madness, if at some point it can be affected at the gastrointestinal level but it is not the usual. But if the individual behaviors are often complicated to understand, imagine the social behavior, even more difficult.
I am currently in Bogota, and in one week has gone from 3 cases to 22. People are buying a lot of things, food above all, and there is a shortage of masks, and when you get them it is at a price that is up to 6 times what it was 2 weeks ago, the same thing is happening with alcohol.
The economy fell to the floor, which is clothing industry, construction, is stopped, also the theaters are closed until further notice to prevent it from continuing.
By the way, the IXth Reggae Festival, which is to be held this month, has been postponed to November...
Thanks mate.
You are right, human behavior is hard to understand. One thing is for sure however is that panic breeds panic. It's like anything, a few people lead, and then many more follow along. I really think that the panic over this disease will spread far wider and cause more disruption to peoples lives than the actual disease will.
My worry is the economic impact on peoples lives. Yes people are sadly losing their life, and that is terrible, but how many millions of jobs will be lost because of the shutdowns and such.
