I think you're wrong about that. People who have been behaving a certain way for their whole life will go back to behaving that way again.

However, if there ARE changes people will adjust.
Do you remember when nobody wanted to fly after 9/11 and then the airlines were booming, so many people were flying it was ridiculous, planes were packed like sardines. The threat that the plane could be hijacked and crashed never went away.

Do you want to end up like Venezuela? With long food lines and people scavenging for food, because when you stop the production, you stop the product and without the product we don't have anything.
I know you love socialism but do you really trust your government to provide for you for everything ? -- housing, clothing and food? Because as you can see, people can't even get through to unemployment to even file a claim.

Thank you. If people are actually thinking humanity will change after this, they haven't been paying attention.

Humans suck. And also, humans have VERY short-term memories. All we need to prove that theory is look how Americans were after 9/11. It was all sunshine and rainbows for a long time - as in people loving each other and we were all united together. But, it didn't take too long for things to get back to normal. Why? Because humans inherently suck and they're selfish and care only for themselves (as a whole). Of course, there are always exceptions, but they tend to get drown out by the rest of humanity.

Give it a year and everything will be back as it was.

Um, it might have had something to do with Dubya blaming Saddam Hussein for 9/11 and his VP cherry picking intelligence reports to lie us into another ill begotten Middle East war.

In that case, people didn't suck. Bush and his administration did.

LOL. No, people came together after terrorists destroyed the WTC. It had nothing to do with Hussein and the ME War.
 
Well as someone who lives in NY and lived through 9/11 while in NY you guys are completely wrong. For one every brown "Muslim looking" person got treated as if they were involved with it. They got beaten and killed so their lives changed dramatically. Everyone was nervous to fly and yes after awhile there was some normalcy but this is a pandemic where your threat of death isn't someone you consider foreign so you can simply avoid them this comes down to not being able to trust a hug or handshake might make you deathly ill.

You're the one who said people came together after 9/11, then went back to 'sucking'. I just explained why people became angry and divided again.

Along similar lines, don't you remember the anthrax scares and deaths (murders?). It paralyzed everybody, people were terrified to go out because they thought it was in the air, people were afraid to open their mail, mailman were afraid to sort and deliver mail...everyone thought they were going to touch something laced with anthrax and get sick or die..

When Anthrax-Laced Letters Terrorized the Nation

Who sent the series of letters in the wake of the 9/11 attacks? Investigators zeroed-in on a possible suspect

https://www.history.com/news/anthrax-attacks-terrorism-letters

Note:

FBI Investigators zeroed in on another scientist, Dr. Bruce E. Ivins, who also worked for 30 years at U.S. Army’s Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and had been trying to develop a more effective vaccine against anthrax.

(Ivins later committed suicide by taking a lethal dose of acetaminophen).

Where are the links I just see headlines

Oh geeze..goalpost move, huh. You now want links when I actually showed you the pages? They're online.
After I told you the NYT's called it the TrumpVirus and it was trending on Twitter, you asked for proof.
I showed you PROOF:

- the NYT's headline,
-Forbes showing that it was trending on Twitter
-I showed you PolitiFact debunking that he called it a hoax
- and I showed you even Snopes conceded he didn't call the virus a hoax, but a new Dem Hoax (blaming him.)

Melodramatic much? MOST people who get this virus have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Stop making it sound like it's Ebola or the plague or something. Holy crap.

The media has made everyone crazy about this. Most of us have already likely been exposed to this virus anyway.

The death rate is being grossly misrepresented.

Are the over 50,000 people who have died melodramatic? What about the families you read about who lose multiple generations to this? And let's get real it's not the media it is Trump disseminating bad information. We should be able to trust our government on the Federal level and cannot.

You cannot downplay or overlook someone else's fear. Fear is based on experience and information that has been presented to them.

Unless you are willing to lose a family member who is dear to you...you can't say this is nothing. Maybe it's nothing because it hasn't hit close to your home?
