There is a thing called viral load. It's how much infection you get the first time. Say you pick up a few viruses floating around. It will take about 60 hrs before you come down symptoms and your body has a chance to fight back.

Now if someone coughs and you're in the direct path of it. And you get a truck load of viruses. You may only have 4 hrs before you show symptoms. The virus will hit you harder because your body had less time to start fighting it.

Iran released people with sentences less than 5 years in length last month. They only kept the political prisoners and the hard core in.

JB fatass is about to have a presser. Rumor is he wants to shut down all non essential travel in and out of the state.

At which point will it become clear that all these gov imposed measures to contain or flatten the curve will result in a much worse longterm national and global situation (mass unemployment, decimated 401Ks, bankruptcy, foreclosures, increased violent crime...) than to just let this thing run it's natural course and be over sooner? I'm not suggesting one approach over the other... just expecting the pendulum to take a different course at some point when the pain starts to get real and widespread.

I was thinking about this too. Given the circumstances and the way different world governments are handling (or lack of) the situation, I'm thinking a recession is in the near future, which in turn yields to what you mentioned :ugh2:

But you and I have it easier than most, as we don't have property taxes on our cars nor state income tax :happydance:

Well, if from the very beginning, everybody (governments and citizens) were correctly informed and treated this with urgency, these government imposed measures wouldn’t have been needed.

Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan never reached the exploding/compounding stage because every citizen bought-in from the very beginning, nobody was complacent. Those countries kept the spread under control, and infected rate was kept at very small increment (linear curve, never reached exponential).

Other populations that exhibit ill-informed complacency are now paying the price. Many populations chose way of life and economy over taking preventive measures. Now, those populations must swing back to taking drastic measures just to preserve lives.

I read about the DDOS attack on HHS but they hadn't pinned the blame on anyone at that time. Link?

Unless the US gobmint takes draconian measure (eg, martial law), a lot of their efforts are in vain. There are too many bozos out there who, even when informed, will break quarantine and do other bone-headed things.

Yep. people are panic buying guns, now that there are no more TP to buy. A dude I work with called me yesterday to ask which handgun he should buy that has the least amount of recoil. I told him the .500 S&W :facepalm:.

From reading last night.

Amazon is on shaky ground. If you ordered anything from them. You might not get it. Their warehouses are getting empty. Nothing is coming in from China to restock the warehouses. Plus if 1 employee gets the virus there. The whole warehouse is shut down.

A lot of other companies that do on line sales are canceling orders. No stock, and or can't get the material to make the items.

Our freight ports are empty. No freighters waiting to be unloaded.

Good thing we aren't reliant on China for our food.

Went to the local Wal mart which isn't a Super Walmart. Picked up a few small things. The parking lot looked normal. Walked around inside. Looks normal. No TP, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. That's just about every store now. Walked over to the camping/RV stuff. There's RV TP on the shelf. :eek: People have over looked the RV stuff. :rofl2: The freezed dried camping food is gone.

The state owned liquor stores closed yesterday. Before they closed. There was a run on them. TV last night showed a lot of empty shelves in the one state store. Beer distributors are still open. The one pizza shop is looking for drivers. They don't have enough for the local delivery.

We are starting to import beef from Brazil. Livestock farmers are having trouble getting people for work because of this virus. Packers told the farmers to stay away because they don't have anyone to process the meat. :icon14: Farmers are behind in their planting because of flooding, frozen ground plus the virus.

Look for food prices to jump.

I ordered a box of commercial rolls of toilet paper from Home Depot. Suppose to be delivered tomorrow but my order still shows in process. Rusty, can you look into this for me, or better yet, maybe ask your boss (Brad) to look into it. :rofl2:

If it was coming to my store, no problem. I can't see what is going to another store. I'm limited. You have the SKU number? I can see if there is any available. It would be 1xxx xxx xxx.

I was just kidding about checking on it for me. They do show that it's not available on line anymore but it's too late for me to cancel my order. I hope that means that I got one before they ran out.

Can't answer that one. You may get after things die down, or they will cancel it.
