So how many of you have upped your emergency supplies? Wife and I did just that at costco earlier this week.

You don't normally keep supplies on hand?

Just got a case of ammo.

How do you cook that? In a stew? Or roast it?

It's too bad it takes headline grabbing sensationalism to wake people up...

...In a non reactionary world we are often subject to a herd mentality....

That's what's crashing the markets and clearing store shelves. It's causing an epidemic of stupidity.

We could probably do with a lot less 'headlines'.

I've heard of people broiling them over an open campfire. Generally you need lots of alcohol to make them palatable though.

I would think 'duck' would be in order.

If they eat the bullets for breakfast, they can shoot their mouths off all day....
Sounds like fun!

I have read that they are saying that face masks are not useful. But here is the thing when I see pictures of infectious disease teams they are all wearing face masks. May be a moot point anyway as the local newspaper says face masks of any sort are sold out here and i noticed they are mostly sold out on Amazon. As for the stock market. I thought it was pretty over heated before any of this pandemic stuff came along so a correction was likely anyway. Looks like face mask makers and hand sanitizer and vaccine makers could be plays.

Yes most drugs from what the author said.


more news- not sure if it has been posted?

US Navy has ordered All ships in the Pacific, which includes several thousand sailors and marines to self quarantine at sea for 2 weeks.

Thats a perfect move. The opportunity to start with a clean slate. Take it; almost FREE money! ... To be positive tho, testing is really needed as well to be sure that any of the low symptom type cases, like those being reported in youth, are not missed among the crew.

I'd like to see people grow up, not over react and stop posting tabloid 'sky is falling' hooey.

For once I agree with Diggin It . Morbidity (death) and mortality (illness) will vary dramatically from country to country. This is because public/private health infrastructure are so different. In addition, population patterns are also different (# people per mile, etc). There are many variables to consider. We will not know true morbidity/mortality as it applies to the US until it gets to the US. NEJM speculates the morbidity could be on par with other common viruses. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387. Stop reading the news and only look at CDC or a reputable medical journal website.
