    That's not good. That's my local hospital. Lots of people freaking out around here. Big run on Costco yesterday and today. Crazy. 
    I work at Costco. The last few days have been crazy busy with people stocking up. We cannot keep up. I’m in Dallas but it’s throughout the company.

    I went out this afternoon and stocked up on some stuff. Just stuff like canned chicken noodle soup and vegetables. Wouldn’t hurt to have a supply in the case a situation actually arises where it’s really unsafe to leave the house. And if that doesn’t happen, then I’ll have some supply in the event of some future catastrophe. If none ever comes, I only wasted a hundred dollars.

    Don't for get the t.p.!  

    Hey, don't laugh.  I always keep extra t.p. on hand.  The weeds in our yard are too scratchy!
    I’d be lying if I said that I’ve never finished a round of golf minus one sock.

    Apparently some 50 year Old woman that was high risk...must have had lots of health issues 

    Coronavirus is going to disproportionately affect the elderly.

    Are we finally going to see that trickle down economics we were promised?
    If that’s the case we will end up with only Pete runnin for President...on either side :)

    not the entire district, just right around the White House. And the right side of the senate also. Interesting but hopefully not. We need them to shrink the CDC and DHHS more for the next outbreak.

    Why not just wish it on random folks you don’t like?  Those deemed undesirable?

    Fuck’s sake...

    So if someone gets sick with Corona in the US - would they have to pay for the treatment themselves? Or would the government take care of it with it being a disease with risk of being a pandemic? How does it work in this case?

    In fairness,  there's only a desert and 120 miles between the two.  

    Being a Yelper is just another similarity between Trump and Eric Cartman.  There's about 300 of them.

    When I went to a store on Thursday evening, I found that what my boss mentioned earlier that day was true. People freak out and already buy everything they can keep. Not only disinfectants and canned food, you couldn't even get toilet paper on Saturday.
    Jezuz, people are going crazy ...

    I'm not scared yet, but I have to admit that I'm already worried about my parents.
    However, this is the time to be grateful to live with this health insurance system in my country, and I honestly hope for all Americans that this time politics and people's attitudes will change so that there are finally big changes in your health insurance systems.

    As for Pearl Jam, I am already trying to be realistic and to give up my hope for the European tour. 

    Otherwise I will continue as usual and hope everything will be fine! 
    And then I will freak out if, contrary to expectations, Pearl Jam comes to Frankfurt in June!!! ;)

    More concerned about March and April dates.. Europe has time to calm down before summer.
