We are driving old vehicles and spent our own dollars to fill the pantry.
___________________________
As are we, but those pricey vehicles are not paid for. They are mortgaged for 7 years and those mortgages are just rolled over whenever they decide they need a new car.
I have heard of folks with 2 vehicles and $60k in car loan debt.
On the pantry give-a-ways, I heard from someone in another small town way north of me that some of those in line *said* they were picking up food for multiple families and drove off w/2 or more boxes, leaving nothing for those further back in line.
Hopefully they are mostly downwind. Otherwise you might want to tarp the side of your exposed house lol. Start sealing windows and doors.

Monday, March 30th 2020
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WPEC) The Holland America cruise ship with four dead passengers and more patients infected with the coronavirus is cleared to cross the Panama Canal, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
But whether it reaches Florida, remains to be seen. Gov. DeSantis told Fox News, We cannot afford to have people who are not even Floridians dumped into South Florida using up those valuable resources,” said DeSantis, according to the Sun-Sentinel. We view this as a big, big problem and we dont want to see people dumped in southern Florida right now.

FEMA sends refrigerated trucks to New York City to hold bodies

FEMA is sending refrigerated trucks to New York City to serve as temporary morgues as the death toll from the coronavirus grows.
There is a desperate need for morgue space in Queens in particular, FEMA regional administrator Thomas Von Essen said Monday. The borough has the most coronavirus cases in the city, and Elmhurst hospital has been swamped with gravely ill patients.
We are going to have an awful lot of folks that arent going to make it, Von Essen said at a press conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio, as they welcomed the hospital ship USNS Comfort to the city.
As of Monday morning, 790 people have died in the city from the coronavirus. There are 36,221 confirmed cases.

It is until control over markets, which have seen price manipulation for years, is lost. Then significant revaluations of everything, including the value of currency, in relation to real goods and services will occur.
Humans have never witnessed what may result if this occurs at this point in our history.
So much now depends upon such a myriad of specialized functions and external dependencies, it could prove existential to our complex way of life.
Just sayin'...

“Germany considering covid antibody certificates.”
I ordered an antibody test kit. Should be here later this week. Going to test the family.
What a cheeky statement !!
Tell us, top Chinese official, where are all the facemasks your pandas raped the world of? Sold to other nations at $2/pop?? Only one of the Chinese districts was shut down. Leaving a dozen others to produce masks. Yet they stole the world supply anyway.
And what is that basketball player doing buying face masks from China? Why give them a single red cent? Buy India.
Will they be armbands? Germans have experience in those things, you know?
Where are they coming from?
Shelter in place means do not leave your home county and no traveling to vacation homes outside of your home county (at least it does in Calif)

Entire Crew Of A Russian Nuclear Submarine Is In Quarantine After COVID-19 Exposure
Personnel from a second sub and a floating workshop are also in quarantine, underscoring the dangers the virus poses to naval forces worldwide.
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICKMARCH 30, 2020
THE WAR ZONE
RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
The entire crew of one of the Russian Navy’s eight Project 949A Oscar II class guided missile submarines is reportedly in quarantine over concerns they may have been exposed to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. This underscores the very serious implications that the rapidly expanding pandemic is almost certain to have on the readiness of military forces around the world, including the U.S. military, as time goes on, something the War Zone has already explored in detail.
B-port, an online Russian news outlet based in the northern port city of Murmansk, was first to report that the crew of the Oscar II class submarine Orel was in quarantine on Mar. 26, 2020. Russian Navy officials made this decision after learning that a civilian contractor who had visited the boat on official business had come into contact with another individual who tested positive for COVID-19

Oh, I agree.
Everything that has not yet changed, will. And pretty soon too.
