RE: The Final Countdown - Life In Lockdown, Day 0

in OCD4 years ago

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I can't agree more! Indeed, I fear all this traveling in- and out-of state could spread this virus even more. At first I thought, "Well, there's less people in the countryside, so it should be safer! ", until my mom said otherwise, and it gave me second thoughts... For the better!

And I've also heard about all those panic-rumours on WhatsApp, and they're very detrimental to people's reactions. Even my parents, who usually listen to any kind of messages on WhatsApp, knew that this isn't going to be a good idea. I heard that some supermarkets are actually limiting how much a certain person can buy, so they don't hoard all that stuff.

For now, I'll be keeping logs on my experiences, and it's been rather calm for Day 1 thus far. More updates to follow, and thanks for the words of wisdom, mate!

Sort:  

Yes. MyDin in KL area already reportedly limited people from over purchasing to curb limit buying.
All these no thanks to before PM can announce "don't panic" those sensational tabloids already exploited fear especially through Facebook (mainstream media).

So let's do our part and remind our friends to not panic buy, especially fresh items. Even how good your fridge is, the vege cannot last the whole 2 weeks without losing its nutrients + the quantity.

Yes, and we have a Mydin here in Selayang, which we may need to visit sometime this week or the next. Unless you have sci-fi tech, all those fresh goods won't do well in the fridge for that long 🤣. I've already reminded people on Twitter, and on my personal chats to stop panic-buying stuff, and hoarding more than you need!

👍
Yes, and remind them, Selayang hospital has a trauma tent outside; and if you need to check through Klinik Kesihatan Kota Damansara also have COVID-19 (mini) trauma tent outside also

Ah, thanks for the info! Selayang Hospital isn't the best for parking, or waiting times, but it's close by. Good if my family and I need to go for a checkup anytime soon.
