Staggering that we stumble out of the catastrophic bushfires with the same pattern I think, which to me is - the strongest human desire is for certainty. Both the people panic buying and those mocking them share the same thing - certainty that they know what this virus is going to do. Neither of them actually have a clue. The only sane belief to have right now is ‘hmm, better keep an eye on this, do some research, and act when I need to.’ Nah, that’d involve work and thinking.
