Get out of the way?

What exactly am I in the way of?

Yeah but then I become radioactive.

I was at the supermarket earlier this morning, and accidentally swallowed wrong. As a result, I coughed.

There was only one person in the same aisle as me. You would think I gave her the kiss of death.

Then why does my knowledge tell me everyone doesn’t agree with you?

“The Irish government has asked all pubs to close from midnight on Sunday until at least 29 March”

Maybe it is the apocalypse, after all.

There is not going to be a shortage of TP. Another created panic. Our TP is NOT manufactured in China.

If you have a really dumb boss, you might want to be radioactive for a week or two...then when the tests are readily available you can take a test, test negative, and everybody is friends again....

Actually you’re quite wrong.

Dreams don’t seem anything like reality.

The only problem is I take an ACE inhibitor.

That seems to a risk factor for some viral spread in the lungs. It is not known whether that applies to this virus but I would assume it does.

Not much difference.
Both viruses belong to the corona family.
Both have very low mortality rates for healthy adults.
Both have no real cure, only symptom suppressors available.
Both are extremely contagious.
Both require the same precautions (no hand shakes, wash hands)
A remedy is unlikely during your lifetime.

“I believe in careful thinking”

Well, you missed a step somewhere.

I saw a report that there are now over 3,000 reported cases of coronavirus in the US. With a population of 300,000,000 would that work out to be .001% or this population?

Try again another day or another store....also stores that have food ailes like Walgreens who have a cooler section and the dollar stores.

Large Cities like Dayton etc. and those who shop the Big Box Stores will go lean because that’s where people go to stock up.

Drug stores usually carry milk and many other food products.

My wife’s CVS had everything except TP and hand sanitizers.

My recommendation is to talk with your cardiologist. Maybe print out some articles on it, and tell him your concerns. He wants you alive - believe me!

covid-19 is going to help 95% of old farts by saving social security & Medicare for them. Old people have to die from something, especially if they have existing ongoing health issues. Dying from the virus is better than dying from many painful cancers which is a frequent cause of old farts deaths.
