There was more.

I saw! He might not have brought the typical New Yorker voting pattern with him, but he sure brought the New Yorker attitude.

Well, he managed to meet the same fate, just waaaay faster.

CDC just recommended cancelling any gathering of 50 people or more scheduled for the next 8 weeks.

Agreed on all points.

If we hadn’t been running on so many years of almost free money and loose monetary policy, it would have a much bigger effect.

Good to know. Some of that will absolutely affect me. “Food for the emergency restocking of stores” is pretty much what I do. Edited to add: I say that, but I’ll be home Tuesday, it won’t matter to me until I head back out to work.

The state Atty General stepped in after Gov. Lee declared a state of emergency which activated the anti-price gouging measures. The stockpile is being “donated”. https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/status/1239238799273623554

Yep. Every one of those folks should consider themselves as a probable case of infection and head straight for a home based quarantine.

Good watch.

Praying for both of y’all.

I was initially on the “what’s the big deal” train like you. The more I read and the more I listened to folks that actually have years of background in the field of communicable disease and virology, the better my understanding became. Most of the other communicable diseases you’re comparing COVID-19 to are either low morbidity and moderate communicability, or low communicability and moderate morbidly. COVID-19 has a moderate morbidity and moderate (moving into high the more we learn) communicability. That a whole new ballgame by orders of magnitude. All of the other similar illnesses out there combined aren’t sending enough folks to the hospital to outstrip available resources like respirators and oxygen machines like this one is. For example, folks with diabetes generally have a lower immune system strength making them high risk for severe symptoms. Way more than they normally would with normal flu. So this is a big deal. I do agree there’s a lot of media induced panic going on, but it’s not all in everyone’s heads. It is a serious event and folks do need to take the advice of the folks at the CDC and WHO regarding reducing transmission. It isn’t just about us individually not getting sick, it’s also our moral responsibility to do what we can to not get others sick. Others who might not survive it like those of us that are younger or healthier might.

Guaranteed.

Unless we go on some sort of full lockdown, I would actually expect most stuff to be open and thankful for the business.

I’m hauling a reefer trailer so I’m generally hauling stuff to refill that meat counter or the pharmacy.

We’re (truck drivers) still out and about on the road, the stores are still getting restocked. So no need to sweat it too much right now.

The folks over at TFBtv just put out a video about the VEPR-12. Seems like it might be a better way to go if you’re getting into the game for that now.

Not 1700, 17000.

I did find something that gave me hope that it wasn’t that bad yet. In the middle of all this madness of people buying thousands of paper rolls "just in case", some people keep making right and wise decisions.

Thankfully, prosecutors did the right thing and dropped the case. It seems that there were some gotcha style issues with his permits, not surprising considering it’s New Jersey. I have to believe that the public notoriety and pressure went a long way towards attaining the outcome. https://www.newsweek.com/roosevelt-twyne-new-jersey-gun-laws-1491859
