If you think the jokes I kept in were bad, just be grateful I left a scene where I did a Bane impersonation while wearing my mask on the cutting room floor.

My grandma went to stock up for herself and could barely get half the things she needed to stay home. Please understand, when you unnecessarily hoard, it DOES affect people who need it more than you.

The sad reality for us Australians is that we were united for the bushfire disasters that ravaged our nation, and now we fight over a roll of toilet paper...

From Vietnam: We aren't having as huge of a problem for several reasons.
1. The government took it very seriously from the beginning.
2. Border was closed with China in Early February with no regard for "that's racist" whining.
3. The population is only one generation away from national crisis like war and famine, so they don't freak out.
4. Asia was hit by SARS and swine flu before, so everyone already knows what to do, and wasn't in denial.
5. Toilet paper is optional, so that helps. 😉

Come on westerners. Act decisively, stay calm, keep clean, stay at home, and don't Worry about the naysayers

I had to cancel my participation at a music festival just recently and got chewed out over the phone for it. Sure enough, a few days later the event got post-poned. I never regret putting my family's health first.

Hello from Italy. Week one of hard quarantine, week 3 of soft quarantine.
I think that the only thing that you have to focus on is not to crash the healthcare system. Isolation works. Our national numbers are not yet that good but our regional numbers are promising. If you can work from home. Limit social interactions and you will bend the curve

Just here reminiscing about the good old days of “2 weeks to flatten the curve”.

"Schools are Petri dishes of disease", "If you know, you know". I love these quotes. You should get T-shirts made. Finally how about making toilet paper which says "There is a better way to clean your bum". As a fellow Indian, I agree.

The priority, it seems to me, is for people is to find - and go on finding - sane, intelligent ways of responding to this crisis. Videos like this are a great help in this. Many thanks (and do please keep them coming).
