Yes. In fact, we would be in WORSE shape on this if Hillary or any other Dem were in the WH - because for one, they would not have banned incoming travel from China.

C’Mon..let’s drop the “it’s all a Deep State/MSM/Dem/people from the planet Zoron” PLOT to “get Trump”. It’s obvious to almost any thinking person at this point that this is beyond real - and potentially the greatest national / worldwide disaster any of us will ever experience.

So sorry for your Son in law’s job loss.

Hoping the shipping will improve since people are still going to need “stuff” and can order most of it online...except not big stuff.

“Mr. President, please, please PLEASE use this “National Emergency” to send more troops to the border!!! Finish that wall”!!!

I think it’s likely that he does just that. I hope so.

Make sure you don’t stack it high enough so that it catches fire on your ceiling lights...

And since I’m on a roll, and you mention hand sanitizer....

....first, I think this will all start to fade by end of next week. I know America, I am an American, and yes sometimes we get bombarded and go a little nuts.

But we may not have the power of the elected elite and their appointees but we have the power of our numbers. In what I predict a short amount of time Americans will get bored with virus stories and Inside Edition might have to move on. We’re not going to stay inside our houses with our bored kids, some of us are going to demand our sports back, heck even our TV audiences. Or maybe something else big will happen and finally the media might have to move on.

I argue that in the end those of use across the fruity plains who carry this country on our backs are going to move on.

But hey, we all learned something from this. First, virus’ really are bad things and frankly until this thing came along I had no idea that over 6,000 people die annually from what is called the “common” flu, whatever that is. I think that’s the amount but whatever, it’s way more than 40, give me a break.

I had no idea the common flu was so bad and I am more knowledgeable because of it.

Second, the idea of quarantine when sick has merits and working at home could be the next big idea America concentrates on. There’s all kinds of possibilities there.

Next...I SEE THE MERITS OF HAND SANITIZER THAN I EVER DID BEFORE AND I AM ALL THE BETTER FOR IT.

I now carry a can of hand santizer with me everywhere and hey, how easy is it to wipe our hands once exposing them to all manner of germs.

And yeah, I realize how awful a REAL virus outbreak could be, although certainly not this one, believe what you will.

We got what we call Common Sense out here across the fruity plains where we carry this country on our back.

The elite do not have Common Sense cause all they have to do is shout FIRE in a crowded theater and use their power to manipulate us.

But we always figure it out.

“People have to calm the f down”.

That’s right. The worst part of a crisis can be frantic people who can’t keep their heads.

People don’t spend money in a recession, crashing stock market, etc. This is 2008 all over again complete now with a “shovel ready” fedzilla $50 billion bail out. The 20008 crash didn’t work out so well for the GOP. We’ll see how Trump handles this one.

This is worse than the Mid East oil crisis in the 70’s.

The great TP Raid of 2020...


The Wu Flu stampede is without a doubt one of the great manias in history. It will be studied for generations.

Then on January 3rd you have no House of Representatives and the Senate is 2/3rds the size it normally is. Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority leader and when Trump's term ends on January 20 a Democrat Senate President Pro Temp is the new president. Good plan. </sarcasm>

Some budding entrepreneur will step in to start a small home-based operation to deliver the goods to you...at a price.

Ain’t America great!

So true. Went to the grocery store this morning - and it was mobbed. NO tp, paper towels, or kleenex tissues. Veggies in the frozen section and canned were almost gone. I didn’t even look at the bottled water shelves.

All I saw were the mobs.

It’s going to get ugly soon...THAT is much more of a concern to me than this virus.

My fervent hope is that he will say the elections are being postponed.....now THAT would shake the Demonazi’s and their presstitute brethren up to the max.

Only a handful of states have zero confirmed cases: Idaho, Montana, West Virginia and Alabama. All others have from 1 to 457 cases.

Washington State (457), New York (325), California (198) and Massachusetts (108) have over 100 cases.

And...it wasn’t much fun.

I think I’ll just stay home. And paint near a stream with my dog.
