I think I have less of an idea wft avocado icecream is than corona...
Although I have to say, I am slightly more concerned about it all now than I was when I first commented on this thread, it seems to be having a huge impact on the world. Perhaps @bartosimpsonio was right.
However, I do have one thought: If this happened 10 years ago, before the huge inflation of social media, would we have been quite so panicked as a global population? Or would we just think "I hope it doesn't affect people I know, or me"?
Perhaps some sort of fear of it is a good thing, keeps us from doing stupid things...

Honestly, without social medias nobody would've been panicked like that until PM or President went live on every TV.
But what if the infection gets worse in a week like in Italy?
In that case it's much better than they panic-stocked now that they're healthy, than happening later on when the infected number and risk of a mass spread would be even higher.

We used telephones back in the day. The word would have spread, although not as wide and fast as now, but information would still have got to the public. At least in the western world. People would probably been less aware in Italy though.

Lol what are you implying? go google who invented the telephone...
you should see the kind of things that are circulating right now on private (friends and family) whatsapp groups. plenty of BS and fake news and scams about how to fight the virus, fake doctor voice messages, pictures from other countries pushed as local etc

And the Greeks are said to have "invented" democracy, look at the "discussions" in their government.

Italian newspaper: first page, 60yo journalist posts cringe questions from a reader: "what do you think we'll going to miss during this lockdown?"
And the 60yo journo goes full cringe: "I really miss the hugs of my friends"...
My brain: FFS snowflakes it's like just the second day of this fake lockdown, really are you acting like that????
bunch of pussies right there, what about WW3?
If these are the supposed "adults", man I will start cheering for coronavirus!
I've read this to my granddad (WW2 veteran, ~100yo), he told me if he had the force to walk he would go there and spit these pussies in the face, as they're afraid of their own shadow, they wouldn't last an hour in war

This is for all those people thinking that coronavirus is a fake-news/ manipulation etc, or it's just an ordinary flu which will go away anytime soon, and there is no reason to panic and take action:
"When you’re done reading the article, this is what you’ll take away:
The coronavirus is coming to you.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now."
Lots of details and interesting calculations in this link: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Most people like being sociable and hugging?

A study by National Institutes of Health, Princeton University and University of California, shows that
CoVid-19 aka coronavirus can survive:
3 hours in the air,
4 hours on copper surfaces,
24 hours on paper and cardboard,
two or three days on stainless steel and plastic

Now that the stock market has crashed utterly due to coronavirus news you can bet news is going to change soon about how "contained" the virus has become. Beginning in around a month, after some Dow30 accumulation.
Dismal science.
