*RANT*

I was in the same camp until my workplace had a scare because someone who claimed to have it gave cash to a co-worker, no mask because "I wanted to feel brave", they're in isolation now.

I'm just shy a hazmat suit now, while I'm not screaming about the end of the world or hoarding up (being an idiot over-buyer ended up helping in the long run before this happened) I've become all too aware of the situation at hand and the sheer...stupidity people have.

I work in an "essential service", people call me a ray of sunshine amongest all of this but really I just want all of this to end, things will get better stock wise, but if we pull up the restrictions too early (both for supermarkets and travel restrictions) I can see this screwing us over, will we end up like italy, don't think so, but our laid back attitude needs a slight adjustment.

Just be safe, don't get careless (KEEP YOUR KIDS INSIDE PEOPLE unless 100% necessary supermarkets are the last place they should be in) and don't panic buy (pensioners and those who live day by day are suffering the most, big families are only suffering because little timmy wants snacks and won't stop making toilet paper houses because karen doesn't want to tell them responsibilities aren't just an adult thing, kids with disabilities are exempt because I know that pain all too well), sorry for the rant, friend's have family up in Italy, regulars are of italian decent, witnessing sheer stupidity at hand and my own desire to keep living...its been rough plus I got family who work in emergency services telling me stuff (mostly stupidity but in times like these the best and worst in humanity will show).

Good luck to all those in "essential services", we're gonna need it, just don't "accept" you might catch it like I initially did and brush this off

Bad enough losing another retailer but MY UNICRON, KEEP MY DEPOSIT JUST GIVE ME MY PLASTIC CRACK D: in all seriousness have eb games australia addressed their connections with the US branch or is this most likely a result of the virus based guess?
