The Coronavirus and Human Condition
This is a PSA as I realized people don't understand people or society. The following is about everyone, from the Smartest to the dumbest people among us. From the richest to the poorest. This could be you parents, siblings, Spouse, offspring, or neighbor. This could even be you.
When people are in times of Crisis they either get greedy and try to profit, or they don't think. It's that way for a good number of people. It's called fight or flight response. Some people freeze, While others are the people who get anxious and panic, running around like a chicken with their heads cut off. these are the people who buy enough supplies for years for every single emergency. These are the same people who fear the worst for every single events. These are the people who rushed to the hospitals for every single sniffle or who stay home because they somehow fear the hospital will make it worse, and don't want to face the idea of their own mortality. Then there are poor people living paycheck-to-paycheck who literally their entire existence is working to live, where one paycheck and they're either homeless or worse. There's a saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. That same can be used towards just about anything. You can tell or train someone how to handle the virus, does it mean to have a reactionary instincts to act as trained or told. It's why when some people are choking, you'll see people around stealing still not doing anything. It's why when they're armed Intruders breaking into people's homes a person will freeze while they're being charged at. It's a natural human response just like a deer in headlights. It's a human condition. Not everyone is an Alpha or Beta. Some are the Charlie falling behind, not able to keep up, falling victim to the lion while the herd gets away.
