Good Stuff about Cornavirus

While I see your point and agree to a degree, these things that are shut down are costing people their jobs. When the pool of the unemployed is at a normal rate, it's one thing but with what could be (probably is) millions of people out of work at the same time, it's a disaster for too many everyday working people/families. We already had a problem with too many hungry children and families, too many homeless and we certainly don't need for those numbers to grow by the millions or even thousands.

Diva, which post is the above in reply to? I can't figure out if it's in response to my post about humanity not cleaning up its act, or to the idea that good things might come out of the coronavirus. I'm a bit dense today.

It's in reply to the original post Butterfly. When I'm replying to others replies, I usually use the quote feature as I've done here.

We have become such a "spoiled" society, that even the hint of any inconvenience drives millions into panic. What would our people do if the electrical grid went down....how many of our people could remain Sane if TV, cell phones, and the internet was unavailable, even for a few hours??

Maybe, and hopefully, this epidemic will give some people incentives to re-think how we are living our lives.

I believe the younger generation would probably have a nervous breakdown while the older generation would thrive. We grew up without cell phones, home telephones, some of us, no tv's.. no electric heat, etc. I agree a lot of people take things for granted. I try to remain grateful for all I have because at one time, I did not have them.
