Panic buying? Protective masks? Permanent disinfection? Selling out medical supplies? Panic and hype about the coronavirus are omnipresent. A doctor has now made a clear statement on Facebook.

The summary of a doctor's posting about the coronavirus:

In a posting on Facebook, doctor Daniel Schölz described clearly that panic buying and protective masks are pointless in this case and only cause new problems. The posting is now very successful.

Useless as virus protection! That's what the doctor Daniel Schölz says. By this he means protective masks like the ones he wears as a surgeon. As well as he portrays panic purchases as unfounded.

On the one hand, both of these have no effect against the coronavirus, but on the other hand they actually pose risks. Because panic buying has created a new problem.

Medical aids are currently not available! This means that due to pointless panic buying, these aids are now missing in places where they are urgently needed. Like in hospitals, for example.

Coronavirus panic buying is dangerous!

Nursing staff are unprotected against diseases that are much more dangerous than the coronavirus and can no longer work effectively or, if in doubt, cannot intervene at all.

How does the doctor Daniel Schölz see it? “ Anyone who is now stockpiling things whose usefulness is questionable (hand disinfectant, face mask)[…] is simply an idiot […].

The posting on Facebook

The doctor's posting about the coronavirus panic has now become very successful and, as of Friday (March 6, 2020), had been shared almost 150,000 times and commented on almost 17,000 times, largely with thanks. Here is the posting in plain text:

Dear people.

The corona panic is becoming dangerous.
Not the virus. But the panic purchases, which are 100% unfounded (there were no defects in Wuhan). And this medication and mask madness.

Masks like the ones I'm wearing in the picture are useless as virus protection.

Again: POINTLESS AS A VIRUS PROTECTION

However, they are NOT pointless in the operating room for us surgeons who have to operate with them. So that no bacteria get into the wounds.

If the surgeons no longer have masks because everyone turns off their brains and buys masks that are NOT PROTECTIVE AGAINST VIRUSES, surgeons will no longer be able to operate. So you can. But without a face mask. Which isn't so great once you turn your brain on.

Anyone who is now stockpiling things whose usefulness is questionable (hand disinfectant, face mask) or whose supply is not at risk because of Corona (pasta, etc.), or which they simply do not need in these quantities, is simply an idiot whose behavior is the one harm that the things currently need.

Switch on your brain!
