It's actually one of the first things I thought of myself, and I'll be damned if I know why. Was it something drummed into us from a movie or emergency situations in the past? I started picking up extras in early Feb, along with boxes of tissue (which I've used as TP in a pinch) so that not a problem for me now. Water either, I have my Brita's and a stock pile of Bubbly which is just something I always have because I'm addicted.

Where do we get our respirators? If we manufacture them here we should just put in a big fat order for more to keep in reserve. If we don't, then that's something else to put on our to-do list.

In addition, I like the China system of a quick quarantine system / hospital annex. We should work on that because this will NOT be the last time this happens.

A family member offered me a gun today for my protection and I didn't know what to say. I've thought about it getting a gun before but I have no training and I doubt I can get any right now.

She's a hero, no doubt about it.

HAHAHA!

I laugh but I'm annoyed as well. I need to pick up some perishables (milk, lettuce, etc) for my 90 yr old parents at some point but I'm over 60 and shouldn't be going into crowds myself. Everyone is panic buying and the stores have stopped delivery and even in store pick up services. I'll give it a few more days and see if things calm down a bit but I think I'm just going to have to put on a mask and hope for the best.

If he EVER runs for office or becomes "political" again he needs to be run out of town

So many people I know were sick in late Jan/early Feb with "killer colds" as my friend described it. When I talked to her on the phone I encouraged her to go to the Dr and get antibiotics because she always ends up with bronchitis or something every time she gets the sniffles. She didn't, but the illness spread through her workplace. Everyone there is fairly young and travels a lot so though it could have actually been a "killer cold" that didn't kill anyone it also could have been something more. We'll never know.

Ya I've been running into one of my grocery stores during off hours every couple of days to grab produce. Nobody is usually there but me.

Probably some intern at Google said "I didn't know about this" and Kyle ran with it.

I don't know what kind of wedding Cenk goes to but I've never seen where where someone ends up in a hotel room with a rent-a-man and meth.

Dems always making excuses for each other, especially those who aren't white.

I don't get the socialize medicine/M4A/single payer argument at all. That would not help in a situation like COVID-19 or any other serious epidemic since the one hard and fast rule about that kind of system is long waits, limited equipment and fewer local facilities.

Hmmm..maybe, maybe not

The testing...what I want to know is why is it necessary test those who are not symptomatic since a neg test today can turn pos tomorrow and no way we are testing everyone daily.

Just limit it to people who have been in contact with a confirmed case on some sort of schedule? Just those with a fever and/or respiratory issues? We need guidelines as well as test kits

I hope Tom and Rita are ok, I'm the same age as him.

Whatever he says will be wrong, too much, not enough. It’s the go to move before even hearing what he has to say.

I'm just trying to think if I've ever actually heard about a real race hate crime in the last decade or so. Towards blacks I mean.

I just got back from Safeway and the shelves were stocked. I think it's just Costco and the discount stores.

Holy cow! He just jabbers on peppering the workers with questions without even stopping to take a breath or let anyone respond. I'm sure they are trying to find answers themselves since they don't personally service the planes.

Funny. But is "angry black woman" on the list of words we dare not say? Even if said about a woman who is black and angry?

Booze and twitter don't mix

That was the best part of IMDB!!

What? Who was hosting?

Does anyone else think these guys were just trying to crack the code to Trumps success? "I'm richer than Trump and if he could do I should be a shoe in!"

I stocked my pantry with some extras last week , including paper products, hand sanitizer, etc. I'm over 62 and don't like what I'm hearing but I don't have any underlying health issues either. I'm just washing my hands a lot because I work in a public building, and am being diligent about taking my Vit C, D and zinc.

All those women, talking out of their butts. They can't even pretend good anymore.
