Everything looks phenomenally normal :)
And I’m in a big city.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and Edgar Allen Poe will drop by and leave a post :)
What goes around, comes around. I suspect most of us will survive.
Lady in the next dentist chair reported a run on water and TP at costco.
I think the lefties and lefty technology hubs will do absolutely everything in their power to create the impression of complete disaster to damage the stock market in an attempt to falsely portray President Trump’s administration as inadequate and install their choice of idiot in office in 2020.
I am seeing a Yuge Infopandemic by the Enemedia...
An acquaintance in an email yesterday afternoon told me he saw almost no one wearing facial masks in the Dallas, Ft. Worth airport. We had been discussing how people were preparing for the corona virus.
With the possibility of needing to isolate ourselves if the virus spread, I decided to replenish our supply of toilet paper. We're homebodies and don't go to town often, living six miles from town and 17 miles from the Costco. Because we're relatively remote I try to keep us stocked up on essentials.
There seemed to be a good supply of the brand we buy so I loaded one of the large packages onto my cart. As I was leaving that area of the store I overheard an employee explaining to some customers that she had worked several years for the store. She pointed up at the metal shelving and said that she had never seen those shelves empty before. Based on that I decided to pick up a second package of the toilet paper.
So now we have a plentiful supply of rice, beans, and toilet paper. Life is good.
Now that I think of it, I guess I should replenish our gas and diesel supplies. I think I'm down to only ten gallons of each.
The hypochondriac that works at my office came to work in a mask. Even during normal times he is out or having doctor appointments two to three days a week.

Shelves empty of hand sanitizer, less toilet paper, far less bleach.
I was travelling through the middle of Palo Alto at noon today (Palo Alto borders Mountain View on the north), and there was normal traffic and normal number of people out. The high-end grocery store had an average number of people in it, and only shortages were rice and hand sanitizers. Saw no one with a mask.
Events being canceled left and right.
Nothing.
Hillbillies are not hysterics.
No one is going to any sushi or chinese restaurants around here in West GA
I’m less than 3 miles from the Life Care center in the Seattle area where most of the deaths are from. But 2 or 3 others as well. And also near the hospital where they were all treated.
Nobody has disinfecting wipes, rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer.
Grocery stores are 90% out of TP, 50% paper towels, but kleenix is doing okay.
Costco yesterday had a one pack limit on TP and paper towels, but it looked like they had a huge supply in the chained-off area so they can resupply the shelves.
Saw several Asians with five or six packs of TP despite the one pack limit. I didn’t see if they got them taken away at the counter. They better have. (Asians in my encounters think the rules and morality don’t apply to them).
Rice and beans in the stores are out. I glanced down that aisle in Costco - it looked low.
I went in to stock up on dog food for one of my kids. Plenty of dog food and frozen foods and deli food. I’m already stocked up on canned foods, etc - so don’t know about them.
I did walk by the area with all the nuts, jerky, power bars, etc. - that was full.
I did want to pick up another bottle of elderberry juice, but I didn’t see any.
Hand soap was low, and the guy said that was all they had. They had quite a bit of bleach still. Lots of Hydrogen peroxide. (Both are good at destroying viruses - bleach is better).
My daughter works the ER weekends as a nurse in a small hospital. She says they’re getting inundated with people who have the sniffles and demand to be tested for the Coronavirus.
The staff is getting tired of telling them a) We don’t have the test; b) Even if we had it, it’s very expensive; c) You just have a cold - go home and go to bed.
I’m seeing a bunch of people living their lives and zero decrease in folks on the beaches/restaurants and other public places...traffic as heavy as ever and stocked grocery shelves - but there has been a shortage of some types of tomatoes and some stores have substandard green bell peppers.
Primary Day?
