Sunday school cancelled... and serviced suspended across the faith spectrum.

Drastic action such as Hunkering Down flattens the curve but even then what happens when too many healthcare workers are sequestered?

Close the door to China! We dont need them. All they send is flus and junk.

They send you junk because you aren’t willing to pay the price it would cost to manufacture locally.

You must live in extremely southern Maine on the shore. My best friend lives in Stockton Springs which is about halfway between Bangor and Bar Harbor and he still has snow on the ground. In fact, I'll be getting my infusion of Maine seed potatoes again this year from him. Great spuds and they keep very well in the root cellar along with carrots and all the canned stuff like you know what and spaghetti sauce and beets. Just had some for dinner, the red variety with Kielbasa and perogi's.

I bought a horse up in Stockton Springs about 10 years ago nice ride up there..

The FDA estimates that at least 80 percent of the active ingredients found in all of America's medicines come from abroad, primarily China.

You must not have gone up on a summer weekend when Route 1 gets clogged with tourists.
It is a nice area, just too congested for me. My sister lives just up the road in Winterport.

In Spain

In an echo of the far-reaching measures already imposed in Italy, people will be allowed to leave their homes only to buy food and medicine, commute to work, go to hospitals and banks, or take trips related to the care of the young and the elderly. Those rules will take effect Monday morning.

Smile, things could be worse.

Meanwhile no one mentions the Russian/Saudi oil war which cut oil prices by a third overnight.

If the government wants to step in, it can be done with ration cards.

Hoarding is a matter of perspective. I have 3 months of stuff. Always have it. Does that make me a horader or prepared?

I ran into the same mindset during the ammunition and reloading supply shortages.

I have no use for whiners and complainers. IMHO, they are the selfish and self-cerntered jerks. Living for the now...and not planning ahead.
