I’m not in PA (thank God) but I also know I ain’t gonna spend 2-3 weeks in isolation without the demon rum.
I picked up 4 bottles of local Kentucky bourbon yesterday.
From Muswell Hillbillies (arguably their best)

Are you folks who believe this not watching what's going on all over the world? Virtually EVERY SINGLE country in the world is doing the same exact thing. This VIRUS is real. It's not a plot. It's not harmless. It's not the flu.
The danger is that TOO many people will get VERY sick at the same time and crash medical systems...like what's happened in IRan and Italy.
Don't panic but geesh face reality and quit minimizing it or writing it off.
People in Pittsburgh will just go 30 miles west To the only non-affected state, West Virginia, and clear the shelves there.
Yup. The disease never has been the issue. It was merely the vehicle the MSM/Dems could use to stampede the herd.
So far only 3 counties that are already in heightened restrictions.
LOLOL!
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties only. But, nobody reads the article.
I actually liked this original, uncorrected statement better. It was more mysterious.🤔
“Don’t panic but geesh face reality and quit minimizing it or writing it off.”
^This^
yep
I don’t understand this one. It does not make any sense at all.
Think of it as a dress rehearsal for the election in November, when Trump wins again. What used to be considered strange behavior will become normalized.
I joked about this on Friday afternoon.
Everything I expected to do for the next month or so is shut down. The ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament have been canceled. The Players (golf) was canceled. The Masters is at least postponed. The ECAC Hockey tournament was canceled. The horse races in Kentucky I expected to attend in Kentucky in three weeks will be run run no spectators. My synagogue was closed. (First time someone in my family didn’t have the option to attend Shabbbat services since my family left Berlin in 1938.) The Metropolitan Opera is closed. While I was pissing and moaning about all this on Friday I wondered to folks whether they were going to close the Liquor Stores.
My club was open so I went there today. (I guess the Governor doesn’t know about this yet.) I watched horse races from around the country, all run without spectators. Not that I care about Aqueduct (racetrack in Queens, NY) anymore, it’s a complete dump now, mostly turned into an ersatz casino. But I noticed when they showed races from there, that there were LOTS of cars in the parking lot. I guess people can go to the casino but they must not be allowed to look at the horses.
INSANITY !

The whiskey cure works for anything and everything.
Yes. Americans. The same breed of people who told King George to stuff it. Won two world wars. Sent men to the men. Now cowering in fear from fever and chills, pissing their pants.
Not a pretty sight.
I was going to go up to NYC (where I’m from) this week but I heard rumors of closings, so I went to visit family in Charleston instead.
In Florida, where I live now, they have shut down all sorts of festivals, tournaments, gatherings of any kind...for, in my opinion, no good reason. Particularly since most of these were outdoor events where there is very little chance of getting anything except a hangover.
The Masters was closed to spectators, and we got an email from the city and county urging us to go and try to buy up the hamburgers and kegs the vendors had ordered but couldn’t use.
St Augustine cancelled three big festivals and they’re only going to reimburse the organizers for city fees. This is going to devastate local businesses and cultural organizations, and even some national ones. It’s totally insane.
