10 March

An entire country in lockdown. And Australia stuck in an endless loop of meme and counter-meme on toilet paper. A lot of people are ‘calm’ now because the virus will likely only have a mild effect on their body. But panic is not the problem here, being calm won't fix it. Social chaos, potentially hundreds of thousands of people without income, hospitals collapsing under the load, basic services interrupted, small businesses going bankrupt (maybe large ones too), the global economy crashing. Pandemics are not about 'me'. They're about 'us'.
