While i still consider the virus a minimal issue, if there is going to
be a response, it needs to be a full response. You wont often hear
this from me, but prickster is on point here. The federal
administration has met with the retailers to address the hoarding
issue, so that should resolve in the coming week. I personally think
they should limit domestic travel. If youre going to do something,
then do something, not a half measure. There is the added benefit of
bringing about the end of the flu season early

to stay home from bars, not to congregate in crowds,” he said.
"It’s unfortunate that many people didn’t take that seriously. The
time for persuasion and public appeals is over. The time for
action is here. This is not a joke. No one is immune to this. And
you have an obligation to act in the best interests of all the

Now the hoarding will really start.
Illinois just closed all restaurants and Bars until March 30.
People are going to starve.
Drive-through and Curbside Pickup can still operate.
So Can I still go grab my Little Caesars pizza since there's no
dining area? What about the Subway in the Gas Station....

get over 50, 60, or 70 that the statistics (that we have so
far) start to look scary. If you are a male, or a smoker, or
have other conditions like diabetes, COPD, and a few others
things will be worse.

We are working on contingencies, particularly in
continuity for our communities. Our staff is as protected
as can reasonably be. We have plans for dealing with
customers.
My home is as ready as reasonable. I even have a
quarantine (heated camper) if it comes to it to isolate my
babies from the inevitable flu rampage. I have resources
ready for my people, and some excess for others in need.
I still think this is not the end of the world the media
is trying to frenzy us with. I'm satisfied with our
government's response. The resilience of the average
American is unmatched, so the hiccups in response make it
more than manageable.

It may be that the workers get off around
4 or 5 and put pressure into the retail as
they all rush it. Maybe all we needed was
a weekend. Ammo is starting to get thin on
the shelves, but that's just because ammo
deliveries haven't changed volumes yet.
I'm heading to the grocery store here in a
bit, I heard they got fed up and started
limiting volume. It's sad when people are
so dumb that stock boys have to parent them

Things seem to have calmed down a bit
today... I didn't go to any grocery

I'd say there was roughly a quarter as
many people on there as on a typical
Saturday, and there was very little
traffic on the streets for a Saturday.
I think we must be too the point where
everybody is done hoarding toilet
paper and they all went home to
hide... or perhaps they just knew the
toilet paper was all gone everywhere...

It sucks that if this goes

I was also surprised at

I you have a
