The overwhelming majority of supplies critical to your existence are heavily automated

If everyone is panic buying toilet paper, you have to as well if you don't have a supply.

otherwise you run out.

@Goddess Tyche Give me a tldr. Not giving that person views

Why would I care about running out of TP?

granted, TP is not irreplacable, but the concept aplies

I have trees near me

And I have flowing water

What more do you need?

Entire industries being shut down as we speak with hundred thousands of people people simultaneously loosing their earning potential.

That on its own is enough reason to panic, never mind corona..

The TL;DR for the video is that paranoia prevents you from suffering the fate of stumbling into a low-probability-high-impact event.

So. Being retarded and going out into masses of people when a disease is going around

Means you wont get impacted

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight

Like with Corona. If you're paranoid, you lower your chances, even if they are low to begin with, of suffering infinite repercussions (death).

If you're paranoid you're more likely to get infected

HOW?

If you're paranoid, you fucking bolt yourself into the house.

And you have bought supplies ALREADY.

It's a respiratory virus that spreads by breathing. Nothing short of total isolation will suffice and then you'll likely catch it later without any issue.

Countries being paranoid also helps.

The additional stress is more likely to weaken your immune response and make you even worse off

SHUT THE BORDER DOWN IMMEDIATELY!

It's paranoid ... it also works.

That's not paranoia

That's rational

Also, the other point of the video is that non-paranoid people spread disease by not overreacting.

@Malac You misunderstand the word paranoia, methinks.

Paranoid people spread disease by panic buying and doing other stupid shit

Non paranoid people wait until most of it's blown over. And then get their supplies

???

Get supplies after you have needed them, yeah, seems rational.

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

Maybe change the future tense to past perfect

Rational people already have a week or two of backup supplies

Regardless

Virgin Panic Buyer VS Chad Panicked Even Earlier And Didn't Need To Fight People To Buy TP

You really only need water and shelter as immediate commodities

You can wait a week or more for food

You need food, lmao
