Toothpaste salt and franks red hot

They make a salt you put on toothpaste?

 

FYI - 2 parts rubbing alcohol + 1 part aloe vera gel = hand sanitizer.

CVS out of rubbing alcohol? Use Vodka.

 

well this took a disturbing turn

Sitrep...Manhattan is quite...feels like a friday summer afternoon quite...

Base building access control from a site i logged into..typical.load 5k to 5500....last two days 2850 2467 respectively ...

My wife reports all stores up towards rockaway..costco fully stocked...  

 

However, people just mostly buying bottled water and TP...   other much more needed items...just sitting on pallets.

 

Is that the one in Wharton or down by Hanover? 

I wouldn't want to waste the trip if it's empty. 

Just read where Shimano, fishin' reel manufacturer just pulled out of all upcoming event and fishing shows including the Bass Masters because of Covid19 threat to their employees and the general public.....

The official press release is as follows:

The Fred Hall Show at Long Beach, the Houston Fishing Show and Bassmaster Classic Expo are all times to celebrate and connect with the fishing community that we love. We share new products, best practices and most importantly, face time with our fans, retailers and passionate anglers from around the world.

After significant deliberation, Shimano has decided to not attend the these shows due to escalating concerns about the Coronavirus and any potential post-show quarantine for our team. The health and wellness of our employees and continuance of our business are our top priorities in this continually developing situation.

Went to my local Walmart. South Jersey. Definitely had that pre snow storm activity.  Half the water aisle was empty. Not a single container of Lysol wipes on the shelf.  Paper towels and TP were pretty bare. Zero hand sanitizer. Soaps half gone.  

Crazy considering this was noon on a Tuesday. Assuming they will restock it tonight. 

Typical Walmarts get three trucks a day.

Sure we are!  Stop watching CNN and MSNBC and you will be fine in no time!  Those who trust solely in the MSM and facebook for their news deserve to be in full panic mode!

Ahhh, I see.. then these pictures from Costco must just be Hollywood CGI, right?

No.....Just a bunch of liberals who rely on CNN, MSNBC and facebook and other MSM for their news! Look closely,  Not a single person in those pictures listens to Rush, Shawn, mark Levin or our President! They are the misinformed liberal lemmings and thus act stupidly!

Ummmmmm.....  sure?  I guess if that works foe you....

If you are blindly listening to others be it liberal or conservative,  you are no better than that which you are chiding.

 

There is ZERO wrong with being prepared or preparing, maybe IF more people WERE prepared, the images that seem to indicate panic, would not be.

Don't listen to Trump, listen to Fauci.

Don't listen to hannity, what a schill....Levin is better.

took mom to the somerdale wallyworld last night. looked normal'ish. it did however look like there was a run on bleach, disinfecting handwipes, and lysol. shelves empty in those sections. looked like there'd been a run on water. shelves half empty, when normally at this store they're overflowing into the isles. weirdly, i noticed that when we walked past the shoes, many empty isles there. not sure what that was about. i witnessed only one couple panic buying in the water isle. they were loading as many cases as they could fit into their cart. for that couple this may be a good thing, 'cause from the looks of them they shoulda quit the sugary drinks and other fattening stuff a long time ago.

Where were those Costco pictures taken?  Top one shows 'Tyre Center'.   I don't recall Costco using that spelling domestically.

Why does it matter? Does panic buying, no matter where's it's taking place, make a difference?

If the panic buying is in another freakin’ country? I’d say - Yes.

Really, so people panic differently in other countries from the same virus and fear?

Amazing.

If you don't know where they were taken, "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

If you do know, saying where the photos you posted were taken is also a perfectly acceptable answer.

If you do know, but don't want to tell us, that's odd...but enjoy keeping your little secret.

Absolutely they do.

Different cultures, different geographic locations, different infrastructure, different media, different emergency response capabilities, different healthcare systems and capabilities, just to name a few...

These factors all play into how a population will react when faced with a crisis.

The fact that you don’t understand that is frightening.

Sniper knows everything. At least in his own mind. Saying I don't know or I was mistaken is deeply threatening to his psyche. In case you haven't noticed. 

Having lived in HI for over a year, it’s literally another country. And could possibly be best set to isolate itself from the virus. Unfortunately they have a deep dependence on the ”mainland “    and a heavy Asian influence ( ergo they are watching the news in China, s Korea, Japan, etc)

soo I’m not rilly surprised by this.

That being said, stop fear mongering ffs. We are our own worst enemy, or at least, our Incontinence  members are.

You are truly sick if you want a pandemic to happen

That's correct, you're finally learning. At least I back up what I post with links, charts and data. You, on the other hand, back up your posts with... well, nothing....
