Not any more. I just managed to find 300 N95 masks, got a year's worth of canned Chili con Carne and remembered to get the toilet paper before our stores start rationing it like they are doing in Hawaii.
ROTFLOL!
My impression is, the market is pointing out a problem.
My impression is the market is remembering the housing bubble and stampeding to avoid getting caught again. That is all. We had a 13 year high for building permits in January. Lots of good economy news out there. The market will bounce back after the tantrums and hysteria over this bug passes.
It’s definitely in the news and getting worse every day.

One answer is because it was yet another way to denounce President Trump to create the impression that he is unprepared and thus not fit to lead. After all it is an election year, and all other attempts to remove him have failed.
Too bad they are running down yet another parallel path as the paths previously taken. 8>)
Another answer is the conflicting reports out of China itself, and the inability to ascertain the truth.
Or a combination of both.
I'll go with C, with a heavy emphasis on A,& B, leading to C. 8>)
True, but at least a few of them were to counteract the one attempting to create hysteria.
Don’t forget the MERS, Ebola and Y2K panics.
They’re not rationing it in Hawaii, they just doubled the price. That took care of the problem.
Wonder if that is what the pope thought as he went to bed tonight? Or did he consult Vatican doctors?
Your impression is, the market is over-reacting.
My impression is, the market is pointing out a problem.
My impression is that FR has been well ahead of the curve on this one.
I think Live Thread 6, which is a continuation of one or two earlier series of live threads and really ought to be about Live Thread 25 or 30, has just made some break throughs.
FR does bring together a number of bright individuals with diverse experiences and information. When these folks are allowed to hash things out stuff happens.
If you don’t like it, go be charitable and pious on the religion forum (just kidding, every one on the religions forum knows that that is the one forum on which brotherly love is not permitted to be displayed).
Maybe posting a vanity in the NEWS forum will make you feel better?
Maybe the coronavirus got Drudge.
It’s the Y2K virus. AKA the Yellow Peril. LOL
Just wait when this forum is full of threads asking for surgical masks in two weeks.
Yup. This is the latest obsession. Overshadowing the LGBT transgendered obsession over the last several years.
You better make that two pallets of toilet paper, then. That Hormel stuff will kill ya quicker than the virus.
I have a feeling we will be donating it to the local food bank before it reaches its expiration date.
