“Well, as long as there in BACON..................”

DARN! I FORGOT ABOUT BACON!

I hope there’s some left at Costco today.

Down with Big Toilet Paper.

Buy a toilet seat bidet!

My local walmart was out of chicken noodle soup this morning...of all things. They had toilet paper, but out of most disinfectant supplies...

Because Chinese businesses instructed expats living in other countries to buy up all the surgical masks at the same time as China stopped shipping them? Empty shelves will absolutely set off a panic

...Well, as long as there is BACON..................

Because people are sheep.

“Forget the psycho mumbo-jumbo, people are worried about being stuck in their house for two weeks and running out.”

I was thinking the very same thing. But you express things differently when you’re paid by the word.

We all should probably keep a 6 week supply at home.
But a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck.

I feel for them if they get quarantined.

Me, I’ve sealed the ark doors. It opens only for my kids, whether they are healthy or not.

Last week my boss was in denial, claiming it was just a cold. And someone else was stating they weren’t worried because their God was bigger than any virus.

I started to reply back that my God had proactively given me a brain that tells me things like, “Danny there’s a train coming, get off the tracks.” or “Danny there’s a virus spreading, maybe you should work from home.”

I’m fortunate that I can work from home as long as work allows it. They hadn’t modified their stance by this week, so I told them that I was coughing, which is true, and they told me to please not come in. Thus I’m working from home.

Wiped out!................

[Red Badger]

I am sooooo stealing that!.....................

[dfwgator]

It used to be when the SHTF people would use cigarettes as “currency”. Now it will be TP.

[crz]

I wonder when the sheeple will start going to the Trucks stops, etc, to steal it.

Hell, we dont need any GD virus to put an end to this economic growth we have had under this POTUS. All we need is to manufacture a panic.

[Red Badger]

They use............the left hand...................

[romanesq]

“so like a nut case I bought 6 large packs...”

SMH, what the hell is that suppose to do?

[Red Badger]

Yep, so many have quit smoking now I see very few people doing it any more......................

[dfwgator]

Might be good for bartering.
