“How is the banning the use of private vehicles going to help?”

Actually it will greatly increase the social distancing of the FluBros - they’re not going to walk to their socials, after all.

(and expect public transit to shut down also)

“Our best weapon is still containment.”

Any containment now will be regional, not individual.

Public Health is in the midst of Mitigation now, and regional containment is a tool in their belt.

And right now the public health officers are the most powerful people in the US.

Good copy. 95% of the milk cold cases were empty. At least there were some items left affording me an opportunity to leave with something to pour over cereal.

I meant to look for condensed canned milk, and powdered milk, but it slipped my mind once I had a modicum of shopping success.

Be good to your immune system FRiend.

Does that mean he has to give up whiskey?

Thank you for posting. I think if the pay is very good, they will get people to hire.

“Italy reporting 478 deaths just today. It’s happening.”

Still on track to pass China’s “official” death toll in a couple days.

Anybody still believe the China numbers?

Buying certain copper plumbing parts and solder, on my next trip into town.

“Go [grab food] the day before Trump releases the first round of cash. There will be NOTHING LEFT on the shelves afterwards.”

That is an EXCELLENT IDEA!

(FluBros, feel free to ignore this)

“Coronavirus may cause testicular damage, male infertility, research finds”

Where is the actual research?

If true

Seeing the research would be helpful.

Disappointing results from a study, looking at Lopinavir–Ritonavir for #COVID19 infection.

“In hospitalized adult patients with severe Covid-19, no benefit was observed with lopinavir–ritonavir treatment beyond standard care.”

“As we discussed earlier, you do _not_ want to stock up during the “gaps”—that is when the flubros will be celebrating victory and infecting themselves and everybody else.”

Well, as I see it, there will be two lifestyles for the next 2 or 3 years - the first one will be the lines we see at Costco, those are the FluBros. The second lifestyle will be when the FluBros retreat and start, once again, claiming it was all a big hoax, because the stores are able to build up their stock and infection rates have leveled off. So they’re sitting fat (maybe not as fat), dumb, and happy, in their little fantasy world - thinking that the shelves will ALWAYS stay full, just as they were a week ago.

...but then the next wave hits, and we’re back to heading towards another full lockdown - that’s when they’ll again come out in force.

So, the key is to get to the stores while the FluBros are ‘celebrating’ what they think is a ‘victory’ over the virus.

You can’t actually bargain, but sometimes if you are at an early stage of understanding, and you are offering something that he really wants you to offer that will get you where he wants you to be . . . deal!

Field report—my wife just came back from her routine weekly grocery shopping trip. I warned her some stuff might be out, so I asked her to “get creative—substitute”.

Missing in action—entire bread aisle, entire chicken section in the meat aisle, paper products aisle.

Everything else was fine.

Guess we will have to suffer and eat steak this week. :-)
