LT is out today.
Yesterday's thread is here:

Thanks to you and people like you, I am fully set up for about 4-6 weeks at minimum, and 6 months if I need to use my carb materials (which is not good for a diabetic).
Boy, that sounds like Cuomo is using the National Guard for political gain.
“IL schools not closing”
Don’t worry, they will. I doubt any schools will be open by Monday.
You mentioned China. China did a little bit more than "keep them where they are".
“I am seeing some confusing press discussion about military style quarantines.”
Where?
There were many cities that had quarantines in 1918—just do a search for:
(city) quarantine 1918
Car wreck deaths are 90 per day in the US FYI I looked it up
Could be.
I am not suggesting that the US do that.
I am saying that is the only thing proven to work.
Actually, I did not mention China—that was another poster—but, no matter, see my posts on US quarantines in 1918—you will get the idea....
Pretty much stocked up here. Just made a run to market to day to get some fresh veggies and such. TP aisle was cleaned out (of course). Long lines with shopping carts piled high.
Maybe one more trip out for some beer.
Reading now that gold/silver prices are dropping as entities sell their holdings to pay losses from the market. Watching for opportunity to buy low.
Buy quick, because when this is over (a few months) it is going to shoot up.
In Virginia, the governor had a press conference yesterday morning and said there was no emergency in Virginia.
This afternoon, he declared a state of emergency with a lot of office closures and telecommuting.
The reported case count in Virginia does not support this kind of drastic action.
So what exactly does Governor Northam know that made him change his mind in a little over 24 hours?
A lot of ILI (influenza-like illnesses) are ticking up for states, these should be going down. https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/united-states/seasonal-flu-2009-2014-including-h1n1-pandemic-2009-aj
Lookner showed some articles—moving too fast for me to catch them all—you will see them in media outlets in the next day or so...
Hang in there pal. If you are forced to carbs, keep it as light as humanly possible (without getting sick just from that). Not that you’ll feel any better, but many Coronavirus-deniers will fare much worse than yourself.
...and I still remember the warning you gave all of us 2 or 3 weeks ago (an eternity now), which was when your friend said “yes, this is it”. People should have listened to you...because you, like 95% of the long-time FReepers here, have nothing to gain by lying.
that’ll be dropping too
All he would have to do is hang out here for an hour or so... ;-)
My apologies on that.
