COVID-19 Non Political Thread

I didn't say I had a problem with it either.

So, we agree that hoarding is not inherently bad? That is my excuse to my wife for not cleaning out the basement.

As long as you'd be willing to help a neighbor in need and aren't price gouging, I'm fine with it.

I should be so lucky to hoard something useful like toilet paper. Nah, I was just talking about the junk that I have in my basement.

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

what was your pre-Covid supply? if it was <6 months then....yes...you are a hoarder!

Haha. Yes, I have to admit I'm being a bit of a hoarder when it comes to toilet paper. I've never had a 6 month supply before. But now I don't have to stress about whether I'll be able to find toilet paper any time soon.

In my defense, I have always bought in bulk and kept an extra supply of anything that I can reasonably keep in stock. I just don't like running out of things.

It makes you prepared.

That, I am. I was thinking about hurricane season coming up too. That plus the virus would be a double whammy in terms of trying to get certain things.

[Kimmi]

but India, Iran, Brazil, Mexico, pakistan tho?

I'm just going by what I'm hearing. The consensus seems to be that UV rays plus people being outdoors will help slow the virus.

Little League season cancelled.

Ditto girls’ softball

That was a quick change in direction.

I thought they were getting ready to start playing? Why the sudden change?

[Kimmi]

I just read that a party goer from the Lake of the Ozarks pool party over Memorial Day weekend test positive for COVID-19. So, how many other people were infected at that party? And how many more people did those party goers infect?

This is the type of thing that concerns me with the reopening of states. While I believe most people will behave responsibly, it doesn't take many groups like this one to cause spikes in certain pockets across the country.

Must have gotten a lot of feedback from parents? Maybe they didn’t want to play if only half of the kids would be there? Maybe some coaches dropped out? IDK.

Haven’t told my son yet.

Well, fall ball will be here before you know it.

I've been planting a farm in my backyard -- I have a garden about 600 square feet -- raised an entire sunroom of veggie seeds since we went into hibernation... because I fear produce might become the new toilet paper.

Food production has never been an issue. Food processing and packaging, on the other hand...
