No, she was really upset...listening to the news too much, I guess.
50% ? buncha pikers, heck the wise latina guv in NM has limited shopping to 20% capacity.
Thanks. That makes sense as I’d heard a lot of folks were bugging out to their vacation homes. The locals complained they were wiping out the market shelves!
“I agree with you completely, except for the danger posed by this particular virus to a healthy, uncompromised person.”
I don’t see where we have any disagreement at all.
I am not trying to minimize the danger - the part that is real. I’m not trying to discourage an aggressive response, as long as it approached honestly, scientifically, and not bureaucratically.
We have control-happy bureaucrats fear mongering the hell out of this thing - they are lying to us “for our own good”. We need to take that out of the equation and react only to the part that is real.
yup that’s what’s happening here- folks are also coming from cities in other states and wiping out our stores too- we’ve seen a ton of out of state licenses up here- we do get them in the summer but hardly ever in winter months- the town was full of them in recent weeks- They can’t get items in their states so they came here and wiped us out- but now they can’t get them here either- because now the locals are panic buying because of that- so the out of staters aren’t showing up as much now- probably going to other small towns now-
Heard store clerks complaining of the out of staters bring the virus here- but who knows if they did or not- they coulda just had seasonal flu- but we are increasing in cases now- I suspect shopping is a major source of new infections- likely why places like NY city and other hotspots have so many cases- that and lots of city folks likely travel for their jobs, or vacations- (not so much the folks in smaller rural areas- lower income areas)- also i think places like NYC are tourist hotspots- that likely had a large impact on numbers of cases there-
They are sayign cases in NY are being traced ot europeans coming here- or people from here traveling there, then bringing it back- who knows -
I am sure that is 5he case, but, some libs lose common sense when they feel they have been wronged, i.e.; stores being closed as long as they get some kind of pay. Even though that would cause much bigger problems than this virus.
[[But the best store for me is the closest very small deli with chicken salad, slaw,]]
That’d be my daily stop lol- love chicken salad
Hmm, well not sure what it does, but I love the idea of it. Needs to have a less bland design though. The future is here.
Sounds cool. I definitely go to Walmart and have not seen any bots.
“While transmission is possible elsewhere theoretically, it isn’t being documented and it definitely would not happen in large or unmanageable numbers. Walking past an infected person is very unlikely to offer an opportunity to transmit the disease.
The point of these shutdowns was, I thought, to not overwhelm the health care system. That means you shut down things where a large outbreak could happen. Not things where only very minimal transmission could potentially happen.
This is very much like the 1980s AIDS scare now where people were thinking you could catch it from anywhere. The paranoia has to stop.”
I was telling my kids the same about the early days of AIDS - in that case, the purpose was funding. If everyone thought they could get it, then they gravy train would roll for vaccine/treatments - and it worked.
In this case, I think it’s more based on arrogance. We’ve been told all these ‘rules’ about catching colds, over hundreds of years, so they figure they already know everything. But they are IDIOTS, the people in charge. They find a few virons (if that, probably just RNA strands) on a doorknob after 17 days and conclude that not only is the virus still present, but it can attack, and if it attacks it will infect and possibly kill people. So we run around with bleach, shut down businesses for a week to ‘deep clean’ them when one person tests positive and now have people spraying bleach on their groceries.
Yea right, as I’ve been pointing out from the start - we had 10s of thousands of infected people from Asia and Italy flying here, unimpeded, for pretty much all of January and all of February. If it spread so easily, then literally EVERYONE in this country would have been infected by mid-March, if not much earlier. They weren’t, as testing shows that 90% of even sick people DO NOT have the virus, at least not yet. As to the 17-day doorknob and the deep cleaning due to it - how about shutting down the place for 24 hours if they find a case (if no symptoms) or 48 hours if symptoms - and leaving it at that. If people got sick from 17-day doorknobs, this virus would have burned through long ago.
Try gas stations.
Word.
thanks, good suggestion- if worse comes to worse, I’ll get it there- (but check the expiration dates on packages lol- j/k- they can’t sell outdated stuff anymore like they used to- too risky to their businesses)- we have a few gas station delis in the area, not sure if their deli departments are still open or not- i know some places have ‘curbside’ service for stuff like that (pharmacies, healthfood stores etc) so maybe they do too-
