We are closed for the next two weeks, but it might well carry on for the next two months or more with the speed with which circumstances are changing.

I hope a news reporter asks Trump if he has been tested yet, and how many test kits are available to the White House and Congress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyzzy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 6 hours ago, Pdoggg said: Major league baseball just suspended all operations MLB moved the start of the season (originally March 26) back two weeks and canceled spring training. But that might not help much. The PGA golf tour, the last sport still going?, is playing with no fans in attendance. But when one of them tests positive that will likely end also?

Bad luck SP. You'll just have to watch the traffic in soi pothole instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test series against the West Indies scheduled for June may also be cancelled. Sorry @Annat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Meanwhile in Florida, about 25 confirmed cases reported thus far. Preparing for the apparent worst to come, I went to the market to stock up on food and other essentials. At 10 am the market was packed. The anxiety and urgency was palpable. People where I live are beginning to panic. The market was out of powdered milk, toilet paper, hand sanitizer and many other items. Market workers were scrambling to restock the shelves. I filled two shopping carts and spent $350, mostly on meat and non-perishables like rice, beans and assorted canned goods. Probably an overreaction, but better to be safe than sorry, as they say. I’ll be going back tomorrow morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I went to local LIDL supermarket yesterday and today, but turned back when I saw the checkout queues. I've got enough food in to keep me going for a few days at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 UK Prime Minister Johnson has just cancelled elections for London Mayor and London Assembly, also local council elections around England which were due to be held on 7 May. They have been postponed for one year until May 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to another supermarket last night with a friend and we were lost for words. People were manic, tunnelvision, zero compassion for the next one, fighting over the last cartoons of milk, shoving shit they probably didn't need into their shopping carts. We bought ciggies and left. Fucking hoarders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bum gun fitted too bb, brought back from patts 7 or 8 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One story I hear is that younger people are being told toilet roll is the best for cleaning smartphones and that’s then circulating on social media. It’s a bloody frenzy out there in the supermarkets, our local one was out of pasta, eggs, sausages, snacks and biscuits besides toilet rolls, yet plenty of kitchen rolls, bread, pizzas and Indian, Chinese and Thai meals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have to turn to Freud for this. It's about the fear of excrements, anal ring piece shuts down when in fear, " so scared I shit myself" etc. Its all very anal :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a Walmart store, Target and then a different Walmart store yesterday. The second Walmart store I went to had a few four packs of generic Walmart TP. The generic TP is actually much better than I envisioned for a generic. There were about seven four packs and I bought one and left the rest for others (I was out). The rest disappeared in minutes. I also have a Thai style bum gun but don't always use it here. I'll mostly spare you the story about a previous setup I had that sprung a leak in my home bathroom that doesn't have a floor drain like the bathrooms in Thailand (I didn't see a swimming emoji here). So my new setup is something that isn't always hooked up but I can do so easily. It's all a bit crazy but when the US finally gets a decent amount of testing, and real results, hoarding will probably get worse. Some one told me in an emergency (or pseudo emergency) the first things that get sold out are TP, bottled water and batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
