With that, the grocery stores have gone empty on not just TP but now bread, meat and, oddly, peanut butter.

Thankfully, must people don't have many skills anymore, so we were able to buy flour and yeast and will just make our own bread.

I couldn't agree more. If you are less than 50, you have a 0.2% chance of dying of this virus. By contrast, you have a 0.1% chance of dying by drowning in your lifetime.

What I am terrified of is the stupidity of other people. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it. I have no control. We are in the process of starting another depression, which is going to end up killing more people than the coronavirus will.

it's the g'damdest shite I've ever come close to seeing in the stupidity dept. across the spectrum during my 54.6 yrs.....nothing comes close to kowtowing to bs and mismanaging a nothingburger like this strain of corona....

when they start testing and begin to realize the mortality rate is less that the basic flu, it's game motherfucking over in the pushback from the masses.....

watch what happens in ~mo.

I'd like to see 'em arrest me if I owned a bar or restaurant.....

since I don't?! yeah, there ain' a dayum thingy we can do to combat it...
