    I just got back from a cruise to the Caribbean from Florida last Week.

    My wife came down with the flu and pneumonia shortly after we got back and went to her doctor yesterday. They immediately sent her to the ER at the hospital to be tested because we were out of the country last week. The nurse told her don't be surprised if the Doc is wearing a "space suit".

    He comes in with a cheap surgical mask on and tells her that she has the common flu and pneumonia. He also said what she has is actually worse and will kill more people than Corona this year. The media is totally over the top with this. I will take the ER docs word on this one.

    where the heck do you get that BS? Not being rude, but no this virus hasn't. It just happened at the freaking exotic animal food place. Someone got a bad Koala Kabob.

    The water plant I picked up at yesterday is banking off this hysteria.

    Someone indicated to me at the plant they have no stock inventory and that all of the orders in place will be loaded from product rolling directly off of the production line.

    I still don't get how or why a panic run on bottled water and toilet paper is connected to Coronavirus.

    Just going to be difficult for about 4 weeks. The economy will boom afterwards when the snowflakes figure out a case of bad sniffles won't kill you. Always something. Never let a good crisis go to waste kind of thing. Clear thinking people won't skip a beat. Wtf. Bunch of sissies will probably blame it on global warming before it's over with.

    I can actually, to some extent, understand the panic buy on those two items. After all it is what goes in one end and out the other. safe drinking water and the comfort to wipe one's own rear are needs everyone has these days. People are worried about things being out of stock or "rationed." I am guessing. So they want to be sure they've got drinking water and can wipe their bottoms.

    Either that or they've been watching that Amazon Alexa commercial and want to mummify their dead. :D

    i had a few errands to run this morning.

    my last errand was to a liquor store.

    i bought a 6 pack of Corona Lite. i really do like this beer

    as i walked up to the sales counter there was 2 other customers there, as well as the cashier.

    i happily said, "see, ain't skeered of no virus"....

    they laughed.

    i highly recommend drinking Corona beer, as this will actually give you germ fighting antibodies to fight the new virus..


    and if it doesn't, you'll be too drunk to care...lol
