I had three cousins coming in to visit my father eariler this month. One from Florida, one from Jersey and one from New York. They all called and apologized but they thought it was wasn't a good idea of 3 people taking 5 different flights to get here to visit my 88 year old father. I was dissapointed as my father was looking forward to seeing them, but in hindsight, a good call.

Out to eat in on the outskirts of downtown Winston Salem last night. Went mexican, but the other two "nice" restaurants" were empty as well as the place we walked by.

Wife half jokingly said we had to stop at the liquor store on the way home and pick a couple of bottles because our two teens have the next two weeks off from school since the governor shut down the schools. Wife works from home, I'm thinking lucky for me I have to be in Charlotte all next week

Stopped at a grocery store on the way home to look at video selections at a redbox, and I couldn't help but want to see the toilet paper area. Can someone please explain to me why people are hoarding toilet paper? THIS is about the only thing I can think of...

Boston news just said that state run liquor stores near Philadelphia will close starting Tuesday, that will hit home for some ! In a week or so I should load up the truck and trailer and head down, should be able to make up the stock market losses !

Same we don't hoard but if being self reliant is hoarding then so be it. We have close to 6 months worth of supplies. Maybe a touch less. Only thing we lack is vegetables so that is my goal this test with our garden.

So right now, as people start to wake up to the possibility of lacking vegetables I am anticipating a run on seeds (unless it's happened already) and garden supplies.

I still haven't figured out why people need to buy so much ammunition to survive. You can only eat so many squirrels and rabbits. Maybe some people are bad shots and they use 15 bullets/shells to shoot one rabbit. Hopefully I won't have to eat too many opossums.

Just look at some of the posts on TBN. They don't need it to "survive". People buy 1,000's of rounds for every round used to get food. I try and fire a few rounds to ensure my aim is still good, but a box of 50 has lasted me a decade.

I don't consider myself a hoarder of ammo. ..I have numerous different pistols that all require different ammo..so I have probably 8-10 boxes for each caliber. More of the 22LR variety as I find that gets used more often.

Coronavirus is most contagious before, during first week of symptoms | Science News

This is a very informative article about good studies. It’s good to hear this isn’t as contagious after the first week and that it isn’t living in fecal matter. Both of those give hope that this virus has an end rather than ever living that some were reporting.
