some great holiday deals out there. If I didn't have a new born I'd be out to Barbados like a shot.
Rome is lovely, dead quiet too.

Safeway was a bit barmy. Pretty sure I was the only one shopping for actual food. As I put my stuff in the boot of my car I saw 4 trolleys come out with literally just toilet paper and water. With the exception of a 6 pack of Gateorade.

Just got an alert on my phone saying they're deploying the national guard in new York.
Media whips people into a frenzy over virus
National Guard is called in.
National Guard strongarms enraged citizens
Media reports on mistreatment.


Chaos! Death! Panic! Marshall Law!
OH MY FUCKING GAWD!!!

The media is loving the shitstorm they've created.

So does Charmin.

It's just a flu

If a new flu gets spread the exact same responses happen.


Oregon National Guard On Swine Flu Standby

State Officials Announce Ninth Possible H1N1 Flu Cases Reported In Louisiana | EMERGENCY.louisiana.gov

With more deadly outbreaks we've been more successful in stemming them early due to the high symptoms and early patient death preventing transmission. Virus fixed it for us. In the case of flu, known antivirals were Able to be positioned. in this case the fix is washing hands and not gathering. National guard is there to provide food and water instead of antivirals.

Joe gets very disappointed when he learns he can't kill all viruses by breathing in 180 degree sauna air...Seems that was his plan...would love to have seen him doing deep breathing the last few days with a cranked up sauna.

Joe had trouble grasping that 180 degree air would scorch his lungs...Doc told him that the air is barely over 100 when it hits the lungs.

My wife just went to a Starbucks and apparently they're not allowing anyone to use personal cups due to COVID-19 fears. lol

This is weird...this dude is saying that COVID-19 isn't really passed by contact like EVERYONE is saying. He claims its mostly passed by breathing in infected air. Now I'm totally confused. I want to believe this guy but it's going against what we've been told to date.
If it is contact it would have to be contact with an infected persons saliva or mucus, hence the hand washing etc.

I was under the impression that people typically put their fingers in all of their face orifices and then putting those same grubby fingers all over the subway rails, star rails, every door knob etc.

I still don't understand any of this TP stuff...like really, how will this help you with a bad chest cold?
I have like 20% of my last roll left and need to run to walmart for tp and other standard grocery needs. I'm gonna be pissed if there's no tp.
