The HD bare shelf is funny until, like me, you're a contractor that needs some masks for actual dust protection. Checked my local hardware store and bare shelves there. Fucking doomsday coming, is there a list of shit that is going to be hard to get soon that everyone needs? I'll either stock up before it's gone or go all in and hoard to sell on E-Bay.

My parents (who are both in their mid 70s) have an Italian cruise scheduled this Spring. They're obviously slightly concerned they may have to cancel.

State Dept is asking people to reconsider traveling to Italy

It’s in Md

The cyber goth and rivet head crowd is really missing an opportunity here. I would totally be in if the respirators were functional.

All this talk about face masks, nobody taking about cheap disposable gloves.
You pump gas, you jump in your car touch the steering wheel 15 minutes later touch your face, boom. Not talking about now, but if it hits my town gloves when running chores seems better insurance than face mask.

Hey Fred, speaking of potential risks, has your sugarmomma curtailed you to one tinderhousewife per month down from 5 or is it still a free for all?

I hate using hand sanitizer a lot, but it’s more practical than using disposable gloves.

Trump, showing no understanding of Government hiring practices. As if ANY of the “good people” would want to work for the Trump administration...

Reported case of teacher/worker at local school in our town tested positive this afternoon. third case of unknown origin in U.S. School is shutting down. my kids are at school across town. Suppose I should have gotten toilet paper.

Also rumor is he's the janitor. healthy middle age male currently on full respirator with pneumonia at local hospital.

Oh great. I know somebody who lives in Md. who is cancelling their ski trip to Italy.

124 UC David med center workers on self-quarantine

Sounds like an alarmist hoax - I bet those 100+ workers in quarantine are only away from their jobs so that this can score political points in 2020.

You know, part of me wants to sympathize with Trump a little bit, since critics are using this entire coronavirus thing to lambast him again. But then you look at his appointment of pence and his general idiocy, and you wake yourself back up to reality.

Mods- I'll shut up about politics now. This thread is too good to wind up in polyass.

did you seriously just write that? who exactly do you think is going to score these points? they're being forced to self quarantine by the hospital to meet protocols (because they were exposed by not meeting protocols earlier).

besides, Trump can make them come back any time he wants

Apologies - I was being sarcastic. It was called it a “hoax” tonight at a rally. A certain news channel says this is all just “overblown alarm”. And apologies from hinting at politics in the padded room.
