Yesterday's thread is here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3823939/posts?page=1301
It’s an odd feeling to be prepared and watching those who meme’d and laughed and mocked their way to today and are panicked at not being able to find the basics for their families.
It’s a sad feeling :(
LOLOL...
listen ..if this gets really dicey I am making darn sure all my goods cant be seen from the windows
nobody gonna know I have a mini store in my house..
already working on it.
Well, nothing’s perfect. I’m going to use my credit card to get the gasoline anyway. Credit card could pick up something from the pump, maybe, maybe not. Eventually, I have to stop being afraid of every contingency; still very little chance of catching it in my area so far.
You know, KY oil or Astroglide.
Dont tell me you dont have any!

Which means 80-90 pairs of gloves in four months, and we have something like 600.
"I have been using hand sanitizer after I pump gas.In one week the skin on my hands is as dry as it was in very cold Chicago winter.
I have a stash of clorox,wipes, but Using them without gloves would destroy my hands.
And I dont have enough gloves to dispose of them after every use."
First you are doing it wrong. You should lick your fingers and thumb prior to inserting your card and punching numbers. The salvia gives you a slippery protection. Against surfaces touched. You must wipe on the rag when done. As the rag use some of that stuff in your closet you never wear and donate it to the trash can at the pump. I am gonna put the “slash s” here.
It is but not in the typical way. I feel like yelling at them at the same time. Like a child who did something despite the numerous warnings.
ah crap...i didnt think about my credit card. will just have to use a wipe on it.
it really depends on your age group or underlying conditions
If your 20 you probably dont need to wipe your card. If you are a papaw or nana..well then you might want to think about it
:-)
“
could potentially signal an outbreak before the testing catches up...”
Yeah, or it could signal nothing. It’s not “statistically significant”.
I think this will be much more helpful next week.
SK has 50M people. 41M urban. is 200K enough?
I have never seen a coffin in a Costco maybe it is in part of the store I dont go in
Thats funny!
Or maybe not... :(
I do like people who think well ahead.
To provide statistical accuracy? Yes. And I'm not claiming that there are no "unreported cases", just that there are not enough to significantly lower SK's CFR.
this one is pretty good..dont know if it is from a television show or if soemone made it:

BS! Use wipes or wear gloves!
And use the credit option on your debit card since it requires less buttons to press. If you have to sign on the electronic keypad, just use your pinky to add a small illegible signature.
