same here, people are stupid, panicky animals at best (ie; the run on toilet paper). there are some, like the millenials, who aren't taking it seriously enough, and think that they are indestructible. then there are those, like where i work, that are going off the deep end of panic. without any evidence of such, we are now banned from entering the server/mainframe hardware room (the holy of holies), and those who can go in, must have a mask and gloves, to enter to do any work in there. the mask and gloves are needed to prevent the very outside (almost non-existent) chance of the virus contaminating the machines (not too worried about us mind you). i sent our supervisor an email, that we would rather anyone going into the h of h's be masked out in the hallway, rather than where we work. he went along with this, to keep our work surfaces safe (once again, missing the point about protecting us). now we have a guard stationed outside the door of our area, 24/7, with a small table, and a chair, with gloves, masks, and clorox wipes. for the first two weeks of this, we have 5 cases, of 5 boxes each, of 100 pair per box of gloves, but not one mask. we finally got some masks in last week. all the guard does, is sit there and wait for anyone to show up, and try to stay awake. funny thing is, is that last person to work in there, was around 8 months ago. also, to keep things interesting, they told us if we enter the h of h's, we will be terminated. though i take this thing seriously enough, and will take the needed precautions, i will not give in to stupidity (buying 2 years worth of toilet paper), or panic (5 people died in our state, with 441 cases, with a population of 5.7 million. that's .008% of the population, we're all gonna die!!!!). so, to the happiness of some, and irritation of others, i am going to maintain my sense of calm, and maintain an even strain about this. now if this were ebola, i might be persuaded to be a bit more concerned.
Word of advise to older guys, that dynamite right hand you had when you were a young stud does not work quite as well as it used to. Think twice before provoking fisticuffs.
