I still don’t understand why this virus makes people want to stock up on toilet paper? Do they think they’ll stop making it or something?😜😜The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

What does one have to do with the other? I’m sorry you’re in that boat, sucks for everyone who is. But why does that make it disingenuous to ask why are people raiding Costco of supplies? Ive never seen isles in Costco completely empty and sold out like I did this week. To buy shopping carts full of just toilet paper is freaking out. Buying pallets of bottle water when the tap water is fine is freaking out when you don’t need to.what dreams said:I find it a little disingenuous to ask the average person to chill out at Costco when Wall Street has sold off 40% of their retirement savings in just three weeks time. If I decide not to go to Denver now, it will be because I need to save my money. Jesus.0 -

If I decide not to go to Denver now, it will be because I need to save my money. Jesus.I agree to both points, Mace.What dreams, I too am sorry if your savings are taking a hit. So are mine and at my age, my prospects of building a bigger retirement portfolio are not great. I'm still working, but because I'm in retail, that may not be for long. But that does not give me the right nor the inclination to buy shit loads of toilet paper and bottled water. I'm not going to get caught up in that kind of hysteria. How long will that stuff last anyway? And then what? People are not thinking, they are reacting. And they are reacting in a typically predictable, senseless manner. We humans are creating our own undoing.I've seen this coming for decades. Somehow, I'd hoped it would not come down to this. I'd somehow hoped we would find a way to sensibly resolve our current difficult issues like we have done at times in the past. Maybe we still will find away out of this mess.

Yes. If your immune system is compromised or have any chronic lung issues this could be a very big deal. Both my father and mother are high risk, father has COPD and mother has Lupus that has damaged her lungs.cincybearcat said:
I’m no doctor, but I’ve read and listen to them. I do think that for the normal population this isn’t a huge deal other than the fear of the unknown. But for the at risk population it’s an enormously big dealGern Blansten said:I've talked with two different people this week....one is a lab technician and another a surgeon.
Both say that this virus is nothing to be real concerned about. The surgeon told me that there are likely hundreds of people that have had the virus and just considered it an upper respiratory cold.
Interesting perspectives. They are either correct or insane.
Stay safe, at least the big man is taking charge.

Unbelievable."Trump muses that he could’ve become a research scientist instead of president."Uhhh, yeah. And if I had wanted to, I coulda been a better guitar player than Jimi Hendrix. Riiiiiiiight.
Truly! Mind blowing it is. How the fuck did (at least some of) America get this way?

The man is a master of words. At least in terms of butchering the language. Did someone take an egg beater to his brains?

I'm not sure keeping score is helpful. I'm not saying, "Hey don't do that", but maybe consider that it serves only to drive up anxiety in others (and maybe that's just me because I am older, and I am more vulnerable that many and I don't want to miss out on turning 70, etc.) It's going to speared, the numbers will increase. I think we all know that. Regular reminders might not be very helpful.

I guess my point is that people may not have started to panic if Wall Street hadn't panicked first. Shit didn't start flying off the Costco shelves until the stock market tanked.brianlux said:mace1229 said:

Just to be clear, I have not panicked. I did go to WalMart to buy Lysol wipes to clean my students' desks at school because one of them gave me ringworm this past week, but that's it.
