I see it as a medical emergency, with the facts not yet well researched and established, AND a terrible financial disaster as well, where peoples means to put food on their tables is being thwarted by the lack of customers who fear for their lives.
It's a mess and if people are a bit snarky, they have reason to be. No one wants to die, or lose someone to the virus and no one wants to see real people's businesses tank, or watch the worlds economy fail and witness the terrible disaster that would bring.
It is called being between a rock and a hard place.

People can be kind and afraid at the same time. Opinions can be stated respectfully. There is no reason to be snarky, there is no reason to spread the negativity to others through social media.
