Our local Walmart was out of Toilet paper and low on paper towels. This is likely our last trip to the store for a month or so. We didn’t need any T. Paper anyway, but we did buy some Paper towels to replace what we used from our current stash.
Oh, gotcha. I did t see the whole conversation.

Chile quarantines 1,300 aboard two cruise ships
Modified: 14/03/2020 - 19:32 Santiago (AFP)
Chile has quarantined more than 1,300 people aboard two cruise ships after an elderly Briton aboard one of them tested positive for the coronavirus, the health ministry announced Saturday.
Both ships are cruising the Chilean fjords in Patagonia.
The 85-year-old man showed symptoms of the virus after getting off the Silver Explorer ship in the far southern port of Caleta Tortel, 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) from Santiago.
The man was later transferred to a hospital in the city of Coyhaique where he tested positive for the virus.
“The ship is in quarantine off the port of Castro. The British citizen is in good condition but has tested positive for coronavirus,” said Health Minister Jaime Manalich told a press conference.
The other ship, the Azmara Pursuit — with 665 passengers and nearly 400 crew — had earlier crossed into Chilean waters from the southern Argentine port of Ushuaia.
Manalich said it was currently near the port of Chacabuco after authorities banned it from landing passengers there, on grounds that it was carrying suspected cases of the coronavirus.

At some point they’ll cremate them. No mortician will want to handle them.
“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.”
Cool, I was hearing from somebody stating the material source was China. Glad to here the material is from the USA.
A friend of my (who is a trucker) took a picture of Trucks back up for a mile to pick up toilet paper from a P&G paper plant in Tunkhannock, PA. So they are trying to get the TP out to the stores. No need to Panic...

UK
People in Britain aged over 70 will be instructed soon by the government to stay in strict isolation for four months as part of a planned response to coronavirus, broadcaster ITV’s political editor said.
Robert Peston said the government was likely to enforce a “wartime-style” mobilisation effort in the next five to 20 days.
Other measures being planned include hotels and other building being used as temporary hospitals, privately-run hospitals being converted into emergency medical care centres and commissioning several companies to make respirators that can keep acutely ill victims alive.
