Good article on the fertilizer situation. I expect war-time style inflation as certain items dry up (it’s already here with masks, probably will be with cleaning products soon).
...and with the inflation (and gouging), expect some price controls, and, as always with price controls, shortages. Finally, rationing. The problem is that not everything will be hit...but figuring out what will and what will not is next to impossible.

Feb 27
The Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hartcher tells The World the Australian Government decided to activate its coronavirus emergency plan because it has “lost confidence in the World Health Organization”, which was having “its judgements skewed” by Beijing.

An expired mask can already have degraded factors and most likely it will no longer perform with its full potential. Over the period of time, the straps, filter, and nose foam had degraded its quality for a good fit and seal.

Our med system is screwed up.
Cultural differences matter.
American snowflakes have had a soft life that could easily lead into a learning curve that they will find too steep to climb that they might be able to handle if they had been raised differently.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
But the dog will harbor virus for awhile...not shed copious amounts as you can see in the photos of the listed cell series colorized for effect..The owner had the virus so naturally the poor pooch breathed it in and was laying on a couch etc..The virus is not like a living bug..its a piece of machinery that remains able to hijack a vulnerable cell until inactivated by chemicals temp etc..The dog iui s a unwitting victim or like any fomite..And that despicable country clubs to death the few not on food row..

Had underestimated the age of the white woman by 30 years. A snowflake would likely have only bought one pack of toilet paper.
The asians have five kids. Nine cases of water is maybe three weeks.
I bought a Berkey—the question for me was how many sets of filters do I pick up.

IRAN
Iran prepares to test ‘tens of thousands’ for COVID-19 as cases spike
By Jon Gambrell The Associated Press
Posted February 29, 2020 7:54 am
Iran is preparing for the possibility of “tens of thousands” of people getting tested for the new coronavirus as the number of confirmed cases spiked again Saturday, an official said, underscoring the fear both at home and abroad over the outbreak in the Islamic Republic.
The virus and the COVID-19 illness it causes have killed 43 people out of 593 confirmed cases in Iran, Health Ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour said. He disputed a report by the BBC’s Persian service citing anonymous medical officials in Iran putting the death toll at over four times as much.
But the number of known cases versus deaths would put the virus’ death rate in Iran at over 7 per cent, much higher than other countries. That’s worried experts at the World Health Organization and elsewhere that Iran may be underreporting the number of cases now affecting it.
