Back in 19-clickety-clack, I had to judo-chop a chinaman named Chunking Charlie for a roll of TP. In conclusion, this would make me an excellent president. Free backrubs and a tender kiss behind the ear for everyone that votes for Important Joe."

Snowglobe of Doom posted:My local supermarket was completely sold out of onions and potatoes. Even those fancy expensive onions. Oh wow. Yeah, in Ottawa there's been a big dent in potatoes as well. Yesterday while I was at work, my boss once again asked me how much food I have at my place. She was not satisfied with my answer so she booted me out of the shop for an hour to go do some groceries. Tomorrow I have to go to a larger chain to get my meds and I really hope it's not a poo poo show. She also told me to stock up on pet food for my birds. Good call because there was only one bag of budgie food and I was getting low because one of the shitheads got inside the seed bag. Plant MONSTER. fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Mar 16, 2020 |

Are supply chains expected to be interrupted or delayed? I have enough to keep me & my wife properly fed and wiped for a couple weeks but if panicky shoppers are buying everything the stores will get for the foreseeable future I may have to join them.

I run a business with 4 employees, we're all young and in decent shape and work outdoors. Absolutely no health training whatsoever. Anybody think there'll be demand for scutwork type disinfection or cleaning in a hospital environment? In the US obviously  , for a good chunk of money hourly we'd all be willing to do it assuming we get training on all the PPE usage.

Too late. But I wouldn't worry. My local store got basically picked clean Saturday and this morning. The clerk said they tried to limit TP and flour o 2 per person but people became so agitated they decided to give up to protect themselves. However, this noon a new delivery had arrived and they had new TP, flour and everything else. You might not find the same selection of cold cuts such as truffle salami or other perishables but the basics should be there.

Whelp, despite making sure everyone in my office has a laptop so they can work from home, we're currently in "wait and see" mode. Even my supervisor thinks it's stupid, but he thinks we're not going to be allowed to work from home until the county forces us to close. So here's hoping no one gets it in the meantime! Also, STL has banned any gathering of 50+ people for the next eight weeks, so this show I was going to go to in April is out. Ticketmaster's not showing it as cancelled though, so I can't get my refund yet. Hope they update it soon so I'm not out the money when my boyfriend might be out of the job soon since he works in retail.

I'm currently estimating I've got about 4 weeks of "food," and with the emergency kits that could be stretched to 6, or 8 weeks. I was at the grocery store this morning because my roommate used up all the detergent, some weird things are still on the shelf, like dry soup kits, so I grabbed a couple of those. It's going to be a wild ride.

I advise going to a local shelter and adopting a few dogs. Best case they will provide companionship and distraction during these trying times. Worst case... hey, free meat.

All within about 36 hours from him deciding he needed medical treatment, he was gone. Far as I know they didn't test for COVID-19 as he was someone with a chronic lung condition. He has been cremated, no tests can be run. Tomorrow he would have turned 77.

I'm the idiot in the office who can work remotely but comes in anyway because they hate their family. There are quite a few of these in my office right now. "My wife and kids won't leave me alone" is a pretty piss poor excuse for not being socially responsible.

Here in Australia they've instituted a compulsory 14 day self-quarantine for anyone coming into the country and have granted the cops special powers to check up on people and arrest anyone who doesn't comply. They can also be fined up to $20,000 for not complying. https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/victorian-coronavirus-cases-spike-as-police-get-new-arrest-powers-20200316-p54ao2.html The government's chief medical officers also released a statement saying that the best case scenario for Australia is that only 50,000 will die from COVID-19, although it'll probably be twice as high and the worst case scenario is 150,000 deaths. https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/australia-prepares-for-50-000-to-150-000-coronavirus-deaths-20200316-p54amn.html

The only reason there's a trucker shortage is the government still thinks having weed in your system should disqualify you from getting a CDL. That's an easy fix, and they could put a lot of laid-off restaurant workers right to work!

You just know illegal states would be pulling over trucks looking for that vape pen.
