I read an article that said because of the panic and JIT, local Walmart's couldn't reorder their normal way, due to shortages in the warehouses, and would just receive what was currently available in the warehouses.

@AVB-AMG, where are you in this chart?

@AVB-AMG You mean when Trump instituted the travel ban from China in January, and caught all types of shit from your buddies in Congress and the media.? Is it just like Obama calling H1N1 a national emergency 6 MONTHS later and after 1,000 people died? LIke CNN, WaPo and NYT? Where do you think Trump gets HIS information from? The tooth fairy? You should really consider NOT drinking and posting.

Think about it... What if you bought a container of masks or toilet paper in January? What could you get for them now? Maybe he's a capitalist!

This is why: ....."Gun sales are skyrocketing across the San Gabriel Valley as Asian Americans in the area fear they may be targeted because of their ethnicity amid rising fears about the spread of the coronavirus. David Liu, the owner of Arcadia Firearm & Safety, said his store has been very busy in recent weeks. Liu said he’s seen as many as 10 times more customers than usual come through the doors of his business. “Because of coronavirus, a lot of people start to worry,” he said. The area has a high concentration of Asian Americans, and Liu said many of his customers are afraid they may be targeted because of their ethnicity if a local outbreak of coronavirus occurs. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/03/10/san-gabriel-valley-gun-sales-soar-among-asian-americans-who-fear-coronavirus-related-attacks/

Add the NBA to your list, and the NCAA tournament March Madness and the NHL and NASCAR and NYC Broadway shows and all Live Nation concerts and Princess and Viking cruise lines and MLB pre season and MLS and......

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I just heard they were sending them home for 3 weeks, until the beginning of April.

I believe that too. I've seen some reports that the ramp up could continue another 10 weeks or more. Which makes me go hmmm, when I see some schools and businesses say their shutting down for the next week or two. What are they thinking (I know they're not)? In two weeks they think everything will be back to normal? Can you say "normalcy bias"?

Was just in my local Walmart, been shopping there for like 6-1/2 years. Decided to take a look at the toilet paper and cleaning aisles... I was shocked!! Never ever saw it anywhere close to this! Toilet paper- cleaned out. Paper towels- cleaned out. disinfectant cleaners - cleaned out. bleach - cleaned out. This is what crazy panic and hype does when it meets Just in Time inventory...

My point was based around the fact of people getting the false sense of security, since they received the vaccine, and think they are protected from it. The odds still are still against them. True, but many of these flavors are recurring each year, so many build up immunity over the years. It's rare that anyone wouldn't be exposed to any of them. Many people's natural immune system fights off the usual strains with minimal symptoms. If you're a "at risk" part of the population, it is. But, I have a issue accepting something with a 40% effective rate. Would you hire a contractor knowing he's only going to do 40% of the job. How about hiring a worker, knowing they will only complete 40% of the task you give them. Somehow, depending on the situation, Americans set the bar really low. With a effective rate of 40% and a fatality rate of 0.1%, I'll take my chances on catching the flu, versus taking a vaccine, and let my body do what's it's designed to do, and fight it off. That's a bigger issue than worrying about the flu vaccine. More people catch other diseases and die from medical errors in medical facilities than many other causes. The best health treatment is get personally healthly and stay out of those places.

I said it's been worse the past few years. Did you have a difficult time understanding that point? The point is, people get the vaccine, and get a false sense of security, then wonder why they catch the flu, when the stats show it's barely 40% effective the last 4 years. How long has the US pharma been manufacturing the flu vaccine? With 100% of uptake, you'd still have 60% catching it. Great herd immunity. You're better off letting your body build up immunity to the different strains, instead of relying on a vaccine which is less than 50% effective.

Why is that always true? Even if it's legitimate or not. Ahhhh, no... we don't need that type of help...

From the CDC, it's been worse the last few years:

@AVB-AMG You've suffered the TDS virus since the day he was elected. Does that include Dr. Anthony Fauci, who lowered the death rate down to 1% the other day? You know, where 99% who catch the Covid..... survive. Yet all you want to do is blame Trump. Did he, single handedly, create this virus?

I think it's time to change your diet...

Wonder if they will also get tested??? A TOP aide to the president of Brazil has tested positive for coronavirus just days meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The man who tested positive for COVID-19, Fabio Wajngarten, was pictured standing next to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday while at the Florida club. Wajngarten was pictured standing next to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday while at the Florida club. Bolsonaro has also been tested for the virus.

Yep, we're inside that window... I'm pissed... I had a really nice Suite booked on the aft of the ship with a huge balcony... This halt is really going to hit them in the pocketbook.

Why?? Just go outside for nature's TP:

...." February 26, 2020 10:01 am Chris Crawford – According to a Feb. 21 CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report,(www.cdc.gov) the current influenza vaccine has been 45% effective overall against 2019-2020 seasonal influenza A and B viruses. " Is that considered "pretty good"?

That's going to twist up a whole bunch of people's panties. Problem is, it's too late... the virus is already here.

Remember, even our seasonal flu vaccine is only 40% effective, and many who take it still get sick. And the flu vaccine has been developed and made for decades, and they still can't get it right. Look at the number of flu infections each year, even with the vaccine. So, I wouldn't put any large faith in a Covid vaccine.

Yes, those over 70 with underlining health conditions are at higher risk. That also goes for our seasonal flu and every other contagious disease. Which is why the number one way to prepare is to keep yourself in good health. A recent report the other day stated that 42% of Americans are Obese. They put themselves in harms way, and this is why they have all those other underlining health conditions. Also, regarding ages, the median age in China and the US is 38. The median age in Italy is 46. So, Italy has one of the oldest populations in the world, which would also make them more susceptible to Covid.

Those guys are great capitalists:

It basically is. The NIH lowered the death rate today from around 3% down to 1%, since they have more data. I would bet it will go actually lower, once they test more minor cases. So, if you have a 99% chance of survival, should life come to a stop NOW? Be careful what you wish for. Trump is coming out at 9PM tonight to make some sort of declaration.
