Everyone's thinking "me, me, me." They're deluded into thinking that they're being concerned for others, the elderly, the "at risk" and the like, but they're not. Media propaganda has been strong, it's gotten people to think only in the short-term. "How will this effect us right now?" vs "How will this effect us further down the line?" People claim they're worried about others? Bullshit. End of the day, they don't want to die. They're scared. They see the manufactured crisis on television and worry it could happen to them, using "concern for others" to justify their own cowardice.

It's not selfish to worry about the ultimate, long-lasting effects on the industry of the economy as a whole, it's concern for our continued survival as a country, not the short-term effects of a highly contagious virus with a death rate less than that of the seasonal flu.
