I would be interested to compare to other countries. Australia does have a toilet paper issue

Observing while in Coscto most Caucasions could care less about rice..but rice helps your meal go much farther.

Thanks, fatima.

I just can’t keep up with all the PA. news.

I’m self-isolating up here in the boonies of Lycoming County.

I can’t do much, but I can still pray. So that is what I do—morning,
noon,and night, for all God’s children on this planet.

“This is why ‘we’ were encouraging people to prep 4-6 weeks ago. I began to set aside stuff the last week of January. Was pretty much done with everything by the 20th of February.”

My starting gun was the lockdown of Wuhan. I’m still in SHOCK that we’ve had 7 full weeks to get ready, but a huge portion of the country is either in denial or trolling us.

My relative had it go to the brain and would say things would never have thought or said before.

Even words and phrases were new to us.

It was interesting.

Didnt start talking in a foreign language though as you sometimes hear about

The average flu death rate is 0.1% not 1%

"7,869 cases and 66 deaths for a fatality rate of .008 or less than 1%"

That is 0.83873427% making it 8X worst then the Flu .1% rate.

247 of 20446 is 1.20% more then 10X that of the Flu death rate

You need to move the point over two spots to get the % when doing the math.

It will be a pounding either way.

One of them results in less deaths.

Let’s not feed the trolls anymore - we tell them the same facts, thread after thread, they come back with the same BS, thread after thread.

They even KNOW that they’re trolling...since they keep repeating their debunked arguments.

Yes, I know that.

My question is but injecting a frickin trillion dollars into the system you would think the dollar index would go down.

That points out just how messed up the world is right now.

”I still don't get the toilet paper thing.”

I am convinced that it is because when the SHTF in Venezuela a while back the last straw was when they ran out of toilet paper. And every American made a mental note of that.

That was pretty much our starting gun too. Watching them literally digging up the roads and dispatching the military to enforce the quarantine was a wakeup. Been watching the chicoms my whole life and never ever seen anything remotely like that before!

started to take stock of what we had and used that depended on China.

Got vitamins, etc all sorted.

Got small electronic things that we might not see again (for the prices we could get them for)

Got 2 new flip phones (smart phones are too spendy for us)

Got hubby the IPAD he’s been eyeing for a while.

started to stock up on winter coats, shoes, etc and other things either made in china or depend on things made in china (zippers, snaps, buttons, etc)

Started the grocery store runs/online ordering for staples and nonperishables

Bought seeds.

etc.

Made one last walmart and kroger run feb 25 and got another 30pk of TP and some more rice.

Haven’t been back since.

I can see that.

IMHO Rush has always been wishy washy.
