mixed bag of thoughts

I feel for all those out there that either are at risk and worried or having a difficult time during this crisis.
I am really done with all this BS we are getting in the media as the numbers ( often different by every source)are not making sense.they simply do NOT have REAL numbers too many may have had with mild or no symptoms and recovered these will never be confirmed.
In my area a local death was being reported without the patients age/ health issues or other complications in order i believe to LEAD the story in a way to scare more people.
The person's family came out and stated age/ previous health issues and the fact the person did NOT seek medical help until it was too late regardless that the family had urged the person to for a week. I seriously cannot trust the local news after this blatant omitting of information to fit a narrative.
I did not get out before the great TP buyout and now down to my last few rolls so will need to venture out to find supplies it has been a couple weeks i have a hard time seeing why some still have no stock of some items.
The company I am at is open and most are working from home which means even less work then i had going in but as i am doing work and no cost for commute or other expenses I actually have came out a bit ahead this last 2 weeks.
I also do not understand what some people call essential as the number of places closed here seems to be smaller then those still open as "essential"

As with any hobby there are ups and downs and since I really like to people watch this hysteria has upped the drama.
The absolute meltdown of a person since Starbucks is not refilling reusable cups at this time who cares about pandemics if you can save a paper cup . ...
The person who thinks the young lady at the store can be convinced to "find" some hand sanitizer they are somehow holding in the backroom for really "special people.
The few ladies who brought their kids (since their school is closed ) to McDonald's to play together while mommies talk. or chatting in store as their kids are licking the cart......
Welcome to the hot zone......
We got a serious email from CEO asking people to come only if it is VITAL but evidently my boss does not know what that means. I sat for 4 hours with nothing to do.... nor does 25% of Staff still on site they have one suspected case they said they would alert anyone who may have had contact as we have many buildings. We badge in each time to enter but NO one that had visited suspects building has been notified and security company says the data is not easy to compile it would be pages and pages as people come and go so they are just asking guy who he talked to not who was near him......
Clearly as I look around I see so many simply herding cats .... I feel for anyone with health issues that will make this more dangerous.
If people are counting on the words they were told they are going to be severely disappointed. Most "actions" were after the cat is out of the bag and overlooking the pre-symptom time frame.
