Agreed Ross but:
Do nothing and nothing happens.

Then there are the selfish still trying to load up with things meaning those buying for others under house arrest have to go without, I understand most items are now restricted to either two or three of each. Yesterday my daughter gave an elderly man the toilet rolls she had got put by, we have still got a couple of days supply in the house, this was at about 10.00 and the shelf was already empty.
You brought her up well Jan! Unfortunately there are more stories about selfish shoppers than there are about of acts of kindness.
One item that I read today that was very sad was of an elderly gentleman clutching a note, on which was written 6 eggs, staring at an empty shelf. They were sold out.
He then turned around and shuffled out of the store. He never asked for much and got nothing.
Do nothing and nothing happens.

'Coronavirus: The fake health advice you should ignore'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51735367
This headline could have been better worded; it does suggest there's fake health advice you
shouldn't, or
needn't, ignore. Most won't be harmful in any case, but I'd recommend staying off the bleach and televangelists.
Then again, the BBC wouldn't any longer be my first port of call for the difference between what's fake and what's not.

The Garlic sounds like an affective one though.

Certainly
effective in aiding social distancing in my experience Reginald!
Although you probably meant:
‘Furthermore, the notion that someone is just trolling establishes political, rhetorical, and
affective distance between an individual and the things they do and say.’

As the Gershwins' missing verse might have gone: 'He says affective, but he says effective; he says subjective, but he says objective; affective, effective, subjective, objective, let's call the whole thing off.'
But do try the garlic; it's always kept my vampires at bay.
