Most likely a Florida thing. We are hoarders by nature. Think it is the Hurricane effect. Once we are in the 5 day cone of death a destruction we have to go out and buy all the water and bread we can get our hands on. I guess this is one reason the media stuff and people in general drive me crazy . Everything seems to have to be a disaster. Just last week USA Today headline "Chicago could see biggest snow of the season as winter storm targets Midwest, Northeast". Is 6" of snow in Chicago really worth that headline?
Once saw a guy returning at least 10 cases of water a few days after a Hurricane missed us. Had to buy all those cases of water, so no one else could get any. Customer service rep told me company policy is to pour them down the drain if they are returned. Store doesn't want the liability.

| Must be a Florida thing, or a Walmart thing. I have not seen news reports anything close to “we are all going to die”. And I just stopped at the grocery store, no signs at all of people buying up all the Lysol and Purell. I did buy a couple of the pump bottles of foaming hand soap we like, but the shelf was full. News reports have said wash your hands and that it’s good advice for seasonal flu as well, I don’t think that’s doomsday advice. I have not checked Walmart, maybe things are all crazy there (as usual). Actually I have to admit that I recently discovered the steaks from Walmart are actually pretty good, they were branded Tyson Fresh Meats.

It is already in the US 2. More people in the US will get it 3. More people in the US will die. Anything other than this is pure speculation at this point. We don't know anything about this virus. Most everything I hear or read about this virus starts off with the equivalent of "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE". But if you bother to listen or read the article, it always has "may" or "some experts". The current official incubation period is 2-14 days, but hey lets just report 14 days and base all our models on this and report it as the most likely scenario. We don't know how long it lives on surfaces. We don't know how it reacts to UV light. We don't know how it will do in warm/humid conditions. My opinion (just as valid as anyone else's), This virus has been in the states before the first reported case. People have had it and recovered thinking it was just the flu. Not everyone exposed is going to get it. Not everyone who gets it is going to need to be hospitalized. Not everyone who gets hospitalized will die. The media once again is doing us a huge dis-service. They are hyping this thing way out of proportion. Was at Wal-mart yesterday. Every can of Lysol or Lysol type of product was gone. Every package of disinfectant wipes were gone. Every bottle of any sized hand sanitizer, gone. Crazy. The closest reported "maybe" case is over 1300 miles away. God forbid we get a reported case in Florida, what will happen then? Going to start burning and looting? -- Best regards, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Technologies, Inc. www.Myakka.com ------ Sunday, March 1, 2020, 3:55:47 PM, you wrote:
