Corona Virus #4

I drove past a farm stand up in Aroostook County last week which had stacks of 5 pound bags of dried beans for sale. I thought about stopping but already have several pounds in the cupboard; as well as another 1/2 bushel or so which still needs to be shelled.

A day before that a store in the nearby village of Danforth apparently announced on FB that they had enough supplies on hand to stock the entire town for a year... two hours later they posted that they were sold out.

Why isn't the Red Cross or Civil Defense better equipped? Seems to be another New Orleans...

This not a 'natural disaster'.

This is excess press hype.

We are already in uncharted territory restricting gathers

Wait 'til the lawyers get cranked up with 'restraint of trade' suits.

the first thing you tell me is I'm foolish. ?? Hardly...
My primary doc is frankly not well informed btw...and I bet most aren't. We are unprepared for this.

It is too bad your doctor is not able to advise you. In hind sight, maybe you should have changed doctors long ago; but maybe some of the members here are doctors and will PM you.

BTW, every country is unprepared. Playing the blame game is not going to change what will happen. It is impossible to be prepared for every type of emergency so in spite of your fear, keep a measure of reality. I am high risk, but not as high as you are. There are things we can do to limit exposure but I suspect it is just a delaying action...hope I am wrong. Yes, it sucks but it is what it is.

Good luck and sorry about the "foolish" comment. I truly regret saying that.

I'm waiting to hear from an attorney about filing a suit.

It seems they're all busy rewriting wills for people who've heard about Covid-19 and know their days are numbered.

PM me to be sure you spell my name correctly on that, ok?

That's different. Most people I know go to JCPenny's for a suit. A few who are more affluent visit a tailor. I've never known anybody to get one from a lawyer. He must have listed it on CL?

^^^ Must be tough stuff if you have to file it.

Could someone please help me figure out how to ignore a member. This is the first time, after many years on many forums, I have concluded someone has so little to offer.

Thanks for you help.

I had to look but you simply click on the username; "view profile" then in the upper left hand corner click on "Add to ignore list".

I don't ignore. I read everyone's posts. Even those that I place less value on. Once in awhile they post something of value. And when they do I commend them for it.
