What am I missing about this???

China shutting down is a clue about what could happen. The Chinese government doesnt give one damn about it's people compared to their economic dominance.

Due to supply chain disruption, some stores may run out of products by mid-April:

IIRC there has alreaady been panic buying clearing store shelves in the mid-west / west coast

And the trucks will come. Restocking will happen. Even if some things are out of stock, there will be plenty of things replenished.

Water supplies and electricity should be fine no matter what happens.

I loaded up on shelf stable proteins, grains, beans, just enough things that I wouldn’t have to go shopping for a few weeks if it came to that.

Can I ask you a question?

If you got coronavirus, how would you know?

Symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath.....just like normal old flu. Do you normally go to the doctor for a battalion of blood tests when you have the flu?

That's a real question, not just a poke of fun.

 

[vraiblonde]

And I'm trying to be patient because when humans act like hysterical animals at the direction of their masters, it makes me get that slightly sick feeling in my chest and throat, like panic mixed with nausea. I'm not afraid of whatever they're flipping out about; I'm afraid of them.

This like a never ending bad weather event. Rush out to empty the stores only to do it again when the next report comes.

 

[GWguy]

I'm not taking any chances. I've hermetically sealed the doors and windows. I bath in anti-bacterial gel. I even put a glob up my nose. Wiped down everything in the house with alcohol or clorox. Breathing with a scuba tank. Constantly monitor my vitals. I feel safe.


Oh damn. Out of milk......

I won’t know.

like I said, I’m not worried about my own health, I’m worried about a broad reaction like we’ve seen in other countries.

like I said, I’m not worried about my own health, I’m worried about a broad reaction like we’ve seen in other countries.

But how will we know? The symptoms are of the flu and every single winter is flu season, not to mention all the people who get the flu throughout the year. And the most at risk of catching it are...you guessed it...older people, young children, those with a compromised immune system, etc, etc. Just like the flu and every other ailment. And some people will die from the flu, just like people do every single year.

So are we to freak every time someone gets sick? How are we to tell coronavirus from the flu without a blood test? Should everyone have to be tested? Develop a new mandatory vaccine that everyone has to have?

How far do we want to go with this? So far coronavirus has killed fewer people than pretty much everything else people die from, and yet we are engaged in a major global freak out.

Do you have pets? Because I'm selling insurance so that if you die of coronavirus, I'll make sure your beloved Fluffy is taken care of.

All these questions that we don’t have answers to are why the markets are down 10% and hand sanitizer is sold out.

I don’t have pets, but I do have houseplants....I’ll take them outside with my last breath

 

[Gilligan]

My throat is scratchy....

:coughcough:

oh...great.

Irrational panic...as usual.

That.

That supports what Vrai is trying to say... the down turn is based on speculation... the sellout of hand sanitizer and mask are grasp of those "who don't know the future" trying to buy peace of mind.

This is soo cool where’d you get it?

 

[vraiblonde]

See, I don't think that's why. When was the last time the American public had all the answers and knew every single bug out there? Are we to believe that coronavirus is now the deadliest thing on the planet?

I don’t have pets, but I do have houseplants....I’ll take them outside with my last breath

To let them die in the cold and bad weather? I also offer houseplant insurance. Don't you want your plants to be taken care of when you keel over from coronavirus? Think of them shivering in the winter winds, their little chlorophyll molecules seizing up with pain....

 

[vraiblonde]

Because a deadly virus that kills everything in its path is going to be thwarted by hand sanitizer.....when it's been proven that hand sanitizer doesn't even kill them germs on your hands after you use the restroom.

But I do wish I were one of those people who are slick enough to come up with a scheme. Currently there are a bunch of people making a fortune off of designer masks for the hysterics. I saw one yesterday going for over $100.

Book store had these advertised.

Because of ****ing coronavirus my IRA lost almost $10,000 last month.

Knock it the **** off, you retarded bots. Do you not understand that I'm trying to make it so you dumbasses don't have to support me in my old age???

So Apparently China HAS BEEN LYING SINCE DECEMBER and Washington State has declared a State of Emergancy
