Are people really expecting that stores will close and their taps will stop working and the power grid will shut down?

Italy ordered all stores except grocery stores and pharmacies be closed

But water and power aren't really gonna be an issue, this thing is bad but its not that bad

If you don't have fiber perhaps that's why you go through so much toilet paper.

The tp thing really makes me wonder how much I use. I usually get one of those big 24 packs from BJs, and just replace it when I get low. I have no idea how long that is. I have 8 rolls here by myself, and I often poop in work. But what if work closes? Dear lord, I’m going to have to jungle book it.

I tried to buy a respirator mask for a home improvement project I’m working on, but apparently every single hardware store is out of them. Just completely out. Of every kind of respirator.

:psyduck:

Thank god I saved the last one I bought, although I don’t know for sure if it’s technically made for what I’m doing (drilling into masonry and gardening).

Can hardware store safety masks even protect people from viruses?

Ah gently caress me not this again. Here in Australia we had people hoarding respiratory masks during the recent bushfires when the cities were being blanketed with smoke for weeks, all the chemists/drugstores and hardware stores were sold out for weeks.

You can suck a gently caress. I'm getting smashed if I'm staying home. My kid is out school, and.my household is some.strange, apparently still very weird dual income household(thanks, student loans), so we are probably gonna be tag teaming work, hoping neither of us get fired. I'm an auto technician though so I fully expect all our customers to stop coming in, and thus I get sent home.

Telecommunications are going to keep the economy running loving everyone is going to WFH that can. I work for a telecom. WFH is "encouraged but up to supervisors" right now. I suspect that once logistics are worked out it will become mandatory. People who need to go out for installs, line repairs, etc. are going to basically get gloves/mask/sanitizer and probably guidelines to minimize contact with customers.

You're a complete moron, I already told you the virus was forcibly administrated to a Chinese man in the woods by a pangolin wielding a pistol.
