Has people scrambling to be more clean, healthy, and in a state of panic! It is definitely something to be aware of, and be safe. If I let me self join in the chaos...my awareness will be going going gone.....
What are you doing to stay safe?
Well there is a legit reason. I am not scared of corona but it has had $ trillions in negative impact. I just hope China learns from this. They are the reason it exists.
Being clean will not help unfortunately. Masks ect are only partially effective AT BEST.
wash your damn hands and stay at home if you are sick. pretty easy fix to me and please stop buying up all the shit paper. went to sams this weekend and they had zero shit paper. of all the things to stock up on and i am pretty sure this virus doesnt give you the jungle shits and we can live without tp last time i checked. washing your ass after a dump might suck but you could get by. people are stupid. no hand sanitizer, no bleach, no disinfectant wipes and no tp. if you only buy what you need, you dont fuck over the rest of the population
I see so many positive things, as a result, of all this! Lol at the tp frenzy. Fuzo has a plan B if we run out of TP:)
paper towls, or the wife will be out back hosing my ass off like one of the dogs haha.Quote:

I went to the grocery store this morning and people were packed in there like sardines, long lines and wall to wall people, all coughing and breathing on each other. One way to avoid COVID-19 : Dont go to the store!
The grocery stores are insane. I drove around for ever today trying to find one bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Nothing anywhere. People are panic buying everything. The meat department was completely cleaned out at several stores. The sad thing is these idiots aren't going to be able to eat all this meat and I'm pretty sure none of them have multiple deep freezers to store it all, so it'll all end up going bad before they can consume it. Then they're just going to throw it out. All of that going to waste. It's terrible.
Fuzo and I just watched what people had in their carts! We did pick up some extra food but I always want more food in the house,lol. That chaotic energy is too much for me...best for me to stay away from the stores. I did go to the craft store with our daughter, because we get crafty, and I tell you this store was DEAD!
I don't understand the panic and chaos especially over toilette paper. Stupid people.
I bought 3 cases of hand sanitizer from dollar tree couple of years ago. Why 3 cases, so I could get free shipping. Got plenty left.
Went to walmart yesterday for new gaming headphones. The grocery side of the store was MANIC! the electronics, sporting goods and housewares was empty. I got help to open the case for the headphones immediately. Normally you have to have someone call another employee who calls another and finally someone shows 20 minutes later. Also traffic is not quite as bad. By about 10-15%. Gas prices are CHEAP!
So there are some benefits.
This is a trial run so china can see how this effects America before they launch more biological attacks. China has way more lethal viruses they plan on unleashing on America. Biological weaponry has been a priority in China for decades.
Did China’s Plan to Destroy the United States Backfire?
All schools , restaurants, are closed in our state. Whats going on in your state?
Plausible but not likely. All this did if it was a feint was disrupt their own economy way worse than ours and made pandemic response a priority. If another ever happens you bet the feds, hospitals, ect will be WAY better prepared. Also big pharma sees a chance for profit, so research into likely pandemics and vaccines will garner more research $$$. That is why having several corporations doing 100X the research a gov agency in a socialist country is good.Quote:

This is uncertainty like never before. A month ago the economy was booming and businesses were hiring and growing. Now the whole damn country is shut down and I dont know if my job will be there this week or not
I stocked up on "my essentials", beer, chicken, and fresh vegetables. [emoji12]

I ABSOLUTELY do not know what this whole Toilet Paper thing is about. Like don't you think food is more important, you can always jump in the shower and wash my ass.
Just read this. Good gawd, if this is true, holy crap
"The R0 of this virus is thought to be 3-5 - that is very high. RO means R naught- it represents the number of people that 1 person staying within a close radius to other people will infect. So- if you even look at the lower end of that - use 3 ( an NBA player that has been playing a game and sweating, breathing on, bumping into teammates and competitors is very close contact. The incubation time is unknown- likely 5-20 days before symptoms and yes- many asymptomatic and will remain asymptomatic. However, the asymptomatic can transmit the virus ( this is so terrifying for a really new virus- that zero person has any immunity to. usually we shed virus only when we appear symptomatic- Ebola. SATS, MERSetc) another freakish thing about this virus is studies show it will live on hard surfaces for up to 9 days. That is astronomical! Touch that surface and touch your face / eye/ nose and voila- you are likely carrying it. Imagine the locker room where they all sit on benches give high fives and are sweating plus the hard surfaces of the lockers etc... each person who picks it up from someone symptomatic or not then also can transmit to 3 more ( realize this is why NBA immediately stopped when only 1 player was found to be positive- I assume that is how all those players have likely been tested as their risk of carrier status is very high. I can’t. Recall ? Utah Jazz player I think-but you will recall who that was : here is the math- exponential rise - day to newly infected a whether Ill or just asymptomatic carrier transmitting-
Day 1 3
Day 2 9
Day 3 81
Day 4 6561
Day 5 43,046,741
See? In the next 14 days- if these aggressive measures haven’t been enough- and we haven’t blunted this curve below our capacity- it will be catastrophic. Also- now after 2 weeks- stats out of Italy are throwing doubt on the “ only old and those with underlying health issues get seriously ill” there are 20, 30, 40 yr olds on ventilators- so that reassuring info appears to have been wrong- a death in WA- 40 ur old healthy male. See? This is why we should a try to come together - we are entering a time of something we have never seen before. That isn’t BS- it is reality. Those numbers are what we are trying to stop. He tested positive and now he has 3 positive teammates? If that is correct and I’m sure you are the best source for that- then the math holds true"
Remember Ryan White ? And how he and his family where getting death threats ? Shit, ya couldn't have packed enough people on the beach over here this weekend.Quote:

I just don't know what is true when you read it? So much going around now and I even wonder if the bat story is factual? I have never really been a person who watches or listens to the news. I dont want to start now either.Quote:
