As a fun question to provoke debate - given the different government responses around the world, can we infer that democracy is not the best political system to deal with such situations?

Always know where you towel is, frood..

Fun question.. how do you think popular culture, such as the "Walking Dead" series, has influenced the public's response (loads of angles to take here) to the pandemic?

If you're a divorce lawyer, you should be fine in the short-to-medium term, as couples in isolation get increasingly tetchy. After that, warring couples can simply shoot each other and avoid the expense of a lawyer.

So, I'm a middle-aged professional. I'm very mild-mannered. A week ago, I started to consider home protection options, and did research on crossbows. That is when I discovered that they are sold out, having discussed with the relevant shop's staff. So, my point here, is that is someone like me is suddenly thinking about home defence (I consider myself very peaceful), then who are all the buyers? Preppers? Or potential aggressors?

Something I don't know, but which would be interesting.. have the DIY stores sold increased levels of items such as hammers, crossbows, axes, etc?

Generally, this is, albeit a tough time, interesting to see how it unfolds. I suspect future models will have far better data.
