Hey here is a suggestion, grow a pair, show some restraint and if you don’t like the political forum don’t click on it; seems pretty simple or do you prefer to just angrily rant.

1 month, or whatever. You want to destabilize and be an ass. Dealing with it ; )

Daughters closing her 1st house in April. Only for her and her fiancee to both more than likely to get laid off , with these shut downs
She's dental hygienist and the cancellations have all ready started and he works at EB

Yet the wife works in a nursing home which has stopped all family members for visiting (some are threatening to sue . ) screening all staff

But have provided zero information on the plan if the virus shows or if they send an employee home who they suspect maybe sick , are they getting paid they cant get a test to show it's not C19,

The 24/7.... non stop media coverage and internet are making this situation much worse, as far as the panic and overreacting we are seeing.
There have always been deadly viruses....and people getting sick, and people die....never seen this kind of press coverage before...
This time is different...a real health concern but blown way out of proportion for tv ratings.......filling the void left by other news stories that withered away.

yup....nobody making fun of the "preppers" who stockpile food, tp and guns/ammo, right now :laugha:

Media, large swath of public, and Politicians:

Why hasn't the Gubmint stockpiled masks, PPE, and TP?



The Prepared:

Always have a few months worth of essentials you can stretch to 2-3x this.


Well, they are still making fun of ammo ; )

Went to purchase some ammo yesterday and first store was out of what I needed. The owner said it’s been a busy week people buying by the case. Went to the big box store and had to be 12-15 people looking to purchase firearms at 3 pm on a Thursday. I’m under the believe I’d rather be over prepared rather then under. But growing up how I did we always had an extra freezer stocked with food and a surplus of cleaning supplies and paper goods. I don’t get the soap and tp flying off the shelves did people just not wash there hands before

Thought I could go into BJ's for just one case of water some blueberries and some batteries and hit the 5 items or less registers, even people with just the same few items were 50 deep in line. Went to my liquor store, picked up a case of beer, case of water, hit the local market paid a bit more for blueberries and some bananas and was home before half those idiots checked out at BJ's.

Another very good article on why social distancing and hunkering down is the way to fight this:

Simple minimum stocks guideline: When ammo falls below 3k rounds, buy a few thousand more ; )

(it is easy to go through several hundred rounds in a few hours of Range Fun Time)

A lot of the naysayers seem to be forgetting about the 1919 influenza outbreak...600,000 Americans were dead by 1920 before a vaccine was developed.

The country was MUCH less populated back then,compared to then we are packed in like sardines today.The good news is we are much more medically advanced and more aware of what's going on a daily basis and can adapt to changing conditions much more easily.I do believe people are over panicking but that's the nature of the beast.

That's why the vast majority of my range time is spent shooting .22LR!

good article

the parts about Containment and Mitigation are eye opening and really need to be taken seriously.

The wife took the day off today and yesterday was given a laptop to bring home to do a trial work at home for Monday


Everyone should have 2 weeks worth of essentials at home anyway, and if you don't you adapt or improvise to overcome.

If you're looking for TP I would suggest staying away from the bigbox stores and grocery chains as you'll find none unless you follow the delivery trucks and even then that's no guarantee.Your local "dollar" type store is a much better (and safer!) bet.

If you're a handsanitizer nut and can't find any or can't make any with isopropyl alcohol,good 'ol Everclear grain alcohol is an excellent alternative and if your stupid you can drink it minus the aloe gel.

Get a trash can, contractor bag and a lot of powdered Gatorade for the mix, you'll need the electrolytes when you're sick.

That's a good thing for sure.I'm lucky mine's been working out of the house for quite a few years now.With me being laid up after my fall I don't really have to worry about work for a couple of weeks.

I hope you heal ok basswipe

maybe this is natures way of thinning out the herd,way too many people on this earth.

Thanks.

Nothing to major...a lot of bruises,a concussion and few staples in the back of my head.

We've been getting vaccinated for similar types for generations.

.22 Should be stocked in the high thousands for Post Apocalypse Currency :rotf2:

I went to BJs in Franklin yesterday. Same, same. I was in at 9 AM and got the last package of paper towels. Crazy!! Saw a guy with 8 cases of water. Said he was stocking up. WTF!!!

Saw a pickup loaded up to the roofline last week before they started limiting how much to buy. Obviously going to resell the water at inflated rates. Just saw a container (1) of lysol wipes on offer up for $40. !!!

Been holding back mentioning this, you can’t f with Mother Nature....
my fear is someday it will happen, hope I’m pushing up daisies...:smash:

I see a shopping carriage stuffed with paper towels also,,,, WTF

??

if you cut them in half you have 2 rolls of toilet paper...sort of :hihi:

Ive been an eye roller at these kinds of folks for my entire life... the past few weeks, observing the irrational hysteria sweeping humanity... I kinda wish I had a safe of guns in a bunker buried in my back yard.

You hoard water before natural disasters when the power goes out and public works systems fail. Anyone who hoards water right now is an idiot.

You need to hoard food, books, booze and oh I dunno.. maybe things related to getting sick with a respiratory infection. Yo azz is going to be fine. No need for tons of toilet paper.

So far it's Business as usual for me, they haven't closed the base...yet. I'm sure if they have a case pop up they will. Not really a work from home option right now.

I got stuff in the freezer, plenty of movies, and I've inventoried the Bourbon/Scotch. Im good.

Son came home tonight from Newark to Boston for a couple nights. Although he works from home the next 30 days, the visit will be temporary. Scary times as his flight had 8 passengers.👀

Ray, I don't get it either. Maybe these people all live hand to mouth. All I know is I have 15 acres. 8 in fields. I will plant the whole thing in vegs this year if there's no food. I got a herd of deer and a flock of turkeys. If I have to kill something, I will. Oh, and BTW, I have over 10,000 rounds of ammo for every one of my long guns and pistols. I'm good.

Cannot believe it will come to that though

Do you have a spare room? LOL :wavey:

Big arses require tons of TP.

Even in Italy the grocery stores and pharmacies are open. People are just overreacting.. Did the normal shopping plus some extra this week. We're already well stocked from BJs already. Still have some blackfish in the freezer and will maybe go grab some 'hogs if I get bored enough...

You have to be the most insufferable person on this site.

Just got the word to stay off site unless needed on any particular day. Wife said the store was wiped out at 7AM Friday. Came home with yogurts and ice cream though.

Lines at Treehouse are supposed to maintain 10 feet distance between those in line, and they erected partitions for their folks to stand behind when serving. Cans only, no cash.

Complete and total pandemonium in Fall River this morning.Was at Market Basket by 6:30am and by 7 complete insanity.People just grabbing for anything.Canned and frozen food in very short supply,any type of disinfectant cleaners/sprays are non existent and this all after they got a delivery this morning.S&S not much better according to a friend.

Joblot 8oz handsanitizer $4.24 limit one.Limit 2 on TP at most stores in my area.

Glad my household and my dad's are well stocked.If worse comes to worse there's plenty of squirrels that hang around the bird feeders!

IMO - last place you wanna be right now is in a crowded market then standing in checkout line for half hour +/-
