What I really see as a problem is the mass hysteria around some small Covi-bois. I mean we should really treat this issue very seriously by just ensuring heightened and more conscious hygiene standards and simply not being assholes. I mean don't sneeze, cough or spit into other people's faces and don't touch everything in plain sight just for the sake of doing so.
Also what really annoys me is people being total assholes buying stuff in bulk they do not need, like surgical masks, while hospitals are currently struggling to get enough supplies. A friend who's a doctor just told me that they have to use the same surgical masks several times. Situations like this just puts people who really need the medical safety at risk, while some idiots did a badly informed panic reaction bulk purchase of those goods, because some other badly informed idiot in some idiotic media hit piece stated to do so. If it gets out of hand, the hysteria around it could increase the mortality of some certain groups of vulnearable people substantially and be actually worse than the virus itself.
