It is disgusting, that the lying, MSM isn’t even covering this, live.

Yet, they have all of their jackals there, to scream out nonsensical pap.

Travel restrictions don’t apply to air cargo, per acting HHS.

“What happens when the warehouses run out of stuff...?”

Acquaintance that works in the Walmart distribution system at the warehouse to warehouse level said the containers from China have pretty much stopped.

That means that the regional distribution centers that distribute to stores will stop receiving shipments shortly if not already.

And that means that some stuff will be out of stock for realsies, soon.

Yes, I see the women with their shopping carts going back home when I’m on my way to work in the morning. Some full of toilet paper, some with huge opaque plastic bags full of . . . probably toilet paper. A lot of people have caught on about getting there soon after the trucks arrive with the stuff.

While not being wise to keep a supply is a huge problem, the mass hysteria the media is causing it a bigger problem.

Now everyone, even some prior preppers, are trying to purchase every little thing they can get their hands on.

ALL because they FEAR. Not because of any shortage. Just FEAR of not being able to get it for one reason or another.

I researched it, and over 90 percent of bathroom tissue manufactured for the USA, and the supplies it takes to make it, is from right here in the USA.

That my friend, is something to be darn proud of!

How much food and perishables come from China?

You do understand those of us in the travel business, hospitality business and other auxiliary small travel businesses are dying on the vein out here.

Those of us that can handle virtual technology are gearing up to offer web events. And yes...we have to charge something for them...we need the money! We still have bills to pay.

THAT is great news!

I think the rush to purchase, is folks worrying that they won’t be able to get out, to shop. But, as others have said...ordering online will be a thing....as long as the support employees are there to stock/ship, etc.

Another Episcopal Church. Odds are it is related to an Egypt trip like those in Houston and NY. Now we wait to see how the congregation fares.

The entire discussion of testing is _very_ misleading imho.

In an epidemic scenario the purpose of testing at the very early stages is to trace contacts, test them, and quarantine all positives.

Once you reach community spread (too many to trace) you need to protect health care workers and critical infrastructure.

That means military quarantines, where you use the test to determine who can enter and who cannot.

If you are not going to quarantine health care workers and critical infrastructure, testing is irrelevant....

(rant off...)
