"Nearer, My God To Thee" is the song being played. Just like they did on the Titanic before it went down. Funny stuff!

You really think its funny. We are being told that this virus is very serious to the point that people are panicking. The grocery stores all look like they are closing, people are out of work with no income to support themselves let alone their families. Nobody knows how long this will be the new normal.

Stimulus check on the way. Grocery is not closing. Maybe speaking to someone might help you calm, your children or clergy could be helpful

One of the first signs of the virus is a loss of one's sense of humor. Good luck!

you all are idiots. Humor at someone's expense is not funny especially when uncertainty and fear is involved. I sure hope this all ends soon.

What's the definition of an idiot? I don't think I qualify, but I do appreciate a little humor in the face of catastrophe. It keeps one anchored when everyone else says the ship is dragging.

I thought the meme with Kieth Richard was the funniest.
My favorite musician, and performer. Just love that face.
With all the stuff he has injested over the years, he is probably immune to any pandemic!

There's a victim in all humor. Whether the victim is a person, place or thing, someone or something is the victim.

Hmmmm----you know what they say about a person who thinks EVERYONE ELSE is an idiot (or stupid, or crazy, or wrong) and that they're the only intelligent (or smart, or sane, or right) person in the room. The clinical term is delusional, but many other less polite terms are applicable.

WHY A RUN ON TOILET PAPER?? ever ask yourself what has the virus has got to do with toilet paper?? There was a major fake 'news' out let that ran a video of people in Australia fighting over paper towels in a supermarket. Because of the major fires in Australia the wood available to make paper was short. They ran it and did not say it was IN Australia and it caught hold here in America and everyone thought we would be running out of paper products mainly toilet paper. THANK YOU fake news outlet!!!!

daddymac1127, Things are just beginning to get scary and we only have 3 or 4 cases of the virus in surrounding counties. Truth is, its likely to get worse before it gets better. This is unlike anything the U.S. has been through before, but we are Americans! We are strong and resilient and resourceful. We will make it through whatever lies ahead and come out stronger on the other side. I understand your frustration with the situation but lashing out doesnt help you deal with your feelings..
It wont make you feel better. Folks who laugh at their predicaments release a lot of the fear and negativity. It is a healthy coping mechanism. It doesnt mean that aren't taking this seriously...
Stay strong...

Everyone deals differently. Maybe you should do what you need to do and lighten up on everyone else.

I've offered on another post here on this forum, and I'll bet there are folks who will do the same.
If you run low on toilet paper and you live in my village area (the historic area), and you're down to your last roll after the one in your toilet paper holder, private message me. I stocked up weeks ago because I ALWAYS stock up when there's a sale. I have a limited amount of TP to spare, but I will gladly do so.
If you need rubbing alcohol for a medical situation (catheter, ostomy bag change-over, etc) please let me know. I don't have a lot of it. But I have more than I'll need for the next 6 months (I ALWAYS keep a bottle in my cabinet and only use it to clean tweezers when I get a splinter or other first-aid use) and will gladly pour some off for you, in your own container.
We are not laughing at anyone's expense. There is PLENTY of toilet paper to go around, and if you aren't the type of person who buys extra when they're on sale just to save money, I'm sure one of your neighbors is and will be more than happy to give you a roll if you ask them.
MEANWHILE - we need to laugh at our own humanity. That is what makes us human.

Judgmental much? Name calling is uncalled for. Humor is what gets people through during times of strife. If you lose your sense of humor you are doomed for sure.
Just saying.

I agree. :clap2: Narcissist is another term that fits people like that.

We all deal with stress a d fear in our own way. Would I have made a Titanic joke at this time, probably not but I can see the humor in poking fun of the TP hoarders. I am sure no one wants to offend but i also know I cant cry and wring my hands enough to make this situation go away.

Humor does help, and as stated, it is not at anyone else's expense. However, worry and fear will not help you or anyone else. Remember, what you fear you will attract, and, laughter has been proven to be medicinal.

Glad to see everyone trying to lift me up. Please note that i am fine and in a good place. I was only trying to let everyone know that while most of us can have humor there are others that are having a very difficult time either being sick or out of a job or wondering about their next meal.
I am very happy to see that many in the Villages are concerned but are upbeat.
Be safe and well everyone.

:icon_wink: I'm safe. When I went to the store to buy TP they were out and the only choice I had was to buy "DRYER SHEETS". On the plus side .... my butt smells like lavender and doesn't have any wrinkles. ;)

As someone who lost a very dear and close relative to this virus last Tuesday, I have had the most awful week (which I will elaborate on in my thread - Corona Virus - Now it's Personal), I appreciate your sensitivity and thank you. I also sense your fear and while there is probably nothing anyone can say to comfort you, you need to realize we all react differently to crisis.
Further, this video is listed under "JUST FOR FUN" -- a thread to which I have contributed many, many jokes -- irreverent, bawdy and, sometimes inappropriate. So I do not think the OP was insensitive by providing some lightness (in the appropriate place) on a serious and gloomy topic.
I am hurting so much yet I have watched this video several times throughout this nightmarish week and, while I'm not much in a jocular mood, it made me laugh, smile and groan. So I send my thanks to the OP as well.
So, again, thank you but my advice to you, and those who criticized you, is to Chill Out and hug your loved one, and know we all hope and pray this ends soon.
Now, should I have Gin or Vodka in my Quarantinis?
