Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

18,000 pounds of toilet paper found in stolen truck

It's not known if this was an actual heist for "TP," but panic shopping of bathroom products has gone viral recently.

TP heist foiled. I believe the police will keep the TP safe in evidence lockup... Just in case.

I feel that the World is going to feel the same across the board. It is not the Chinese People in general, it is the Communist Regime that must be held accountable.

Not if you ask the American media. They are 100% hell bent on pinning this on Trump - if not the cause of the virus, then accusations of racism and xenophobia (because that's worked so well against him in the past). It's crazy to think that of all the important issues surrounding this virus, THAT is what the pundits think is above all else. It's funny, because just weeks ago, every major MSM network was calling it the "Chinese coronavirus" or the "Wuhan Virus". Now, they're all going back trying to scrub headlines of their own articles.. Here is NYT...

Now, they're even going back to Wikipedia to change history - removing SPANISH from Spanish Flu... It is so disingenuous, so blatantly deceptive, that anyone with any shred of integrity would call this out for what it is. But, unfortunately, when one is infected with level 6 TDS, anything goes so long as it makes Orange Man bad.

There's plenty of blame for everyone to share in, from lack of government readiness, to the media stoking the fear, on up to so many fat unhealthy at-risk Americans. But the blame-train has left the fuQin' station: it is long gone. It's time for All Americans to pitch-in and do their part to fix this. Together we can win this. Separate it's going to be a fuQuva lot harder. We need to treat this like WW2 and kick it's ass. Together.

In the briefing this morning by President Trump and the administration, I'm pretty sure I heard President Trump say possibly "100's of thousands" in regards to deaths. Did anyone else catch that? Hope I didn't catch that correctly.

Yes, this is likely. The more we isolate now the better the outcome. But a lot of people are going to die, several times the regular flu death toll nearly for sure.

How are you feeling? Any better these days?

Going on 16-days now and I'm still sick! It's freaky. I never get sick...or better stated when I I've gotten sick in the past I usually recover within 24 to 48 hours. I'm going on 16 days now...Mrs. Q's got it too. Upper respiratory congestion, runny nose, headache, lethargy, but no fever, and no sore throat. Yesterday (03/19/20), I called the NY State Covid-9 Hotline yesterday who asked me "have you been exposed to anyone with Covid-19?" I replied "HOW WOULD I KNOW UNLESS YOU TEST ME." They failed to ask me if I had any underlying health issues which might put me at risk. The lady I spoke with was very polite and very nice but the short answer was "our testing capability is so limited that we're only testing people who have been exposed and are at risk."

I'm back to work and fully functional but for all I know I'm one of those "mild" cases I've heard about and I've infected a bunch of folks. Who the fuQ knows and I'll probably never know because I can't get tested.

Now...just a few minutes ago...a co-worker told me that the NY State Governor was "shutting down NY State" starting Sunday; I guess that's what you gotta do when you can't test many people and you don't know how bad it is.

I have a good friend I spoke to today...he's rather isolated and he hadn't heard that the government was going to send everyone $1,200. His response: "Shit...doesn't $1,200.00 buy a shitload of test kits?"

Sending everyone $1,200 is just another moronic knee jerk gubermint idea. There are a lot of people still drawing a salary who have been furloughed. Do retired people get the money...what about non-citizens? I don't understand the logic of a cash giveaway.

Agree 110%. Use the fuQin' money to get more testing out to Americans.

Nice...I can't even deposit my paycheck today because the banks are closed.

I'm certain there is one, but I've never used it. I'll check it out but -- much like self check-out stations at Home Depot -- I always view such things as reasons to employ less Americans wrapped up in a "Save The Planet & Be Green!" ribbon.

Consider it a bribe. By giving some money to all, they'll be less likely to revolt when the mega bucks end up filling the trough for lobbyists and special interest groups. After seeing how many billions went to undeserving "shovel ready" jobs, wall street tycoons, and other non-essential things with the financial crisis, I shudder to think who really benefits from the TRILLIONS they're going to give away now.

That measly $1k for the pleebs is nothing more than placation. It is completely predictable and will only hasten the empire's ruin. This didn't used to bother me as much, or get me as angry, but now that I have kids, I'm furious.

I'm passing this along to everyone I know. Thanks brother.
