Whelp China didn't say they were kicking out reporters for reporting about COVID so that could not possibly be the reason! People are always honest. Governments are always honest. Hahahahaha.

most citrus fruits, apples, pears, can last a couple weeks easy if you keep them in the fridge. carrots and potatoes last a long time.

Is it time to buy 25-50 lbs of rice/beans/chickpeas? I don't want to starve if we get hit by food shortages due to crops going unpicked. Possibly, I'm panicking.

I did 6 stores yesterday (including drug store for my dads script and hard ware store so he can fix a hot water heater). I haven’t gone out in ten days, and won’t need to for another 10, but I was running low on meat and veggies and milk. I wore a n95 mask, gloves and glasses. When I got home I stripped, wiped everything down and took a shower.

The only downside of overpreparing here is you might get to eat a lot of cheap, healthy meals over the next couple of years for no good reason. Being prepared to satisfy your basic needs is not panic. poverty goat fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Ms Bee, we’re going to have to let you go. No, this has nothing to do with the sexual harassment claim you filed against your boss. It’s for poor performance, the timing is purely coincidental.

the amount of retarded poo poo coming out of the White House has really rocketed to a new high speed, so much that I missed ol Kushners comment how the national stockpile is “ours, not for the states”. Then they go and change the website which said the exact opposite lol they really are 100% going to hang the states out to dry

Oh I'm well aware it's already happening, but it's a lot harder when everyone is quarantine. Think about the type of person who blames "chiner" on killing his grandma getting out of a 3 month isolation. It's going to be way worse then what we're already seeing.

There's also limits at the supermarkets on what you can buy so it's not like I can really stock up on tinned stuff without making multiple trips (which doesn't help the problem of not going out a lot) - and the freezer is the same situation as the fridge.

Wizard Master posted:How do you guys feel about a possible backlash (economic and politcal sanctions, amongst other things) against China for causing this? **this is an opinion piece, feel free to disagree or offer counter-scenarios if you are interested, I am not saying this is exactly what is going to happen** From way back, but I can totally see some places having massive backlash against China on a grass-roots level, but not at the top. After this is over China is going to be like a shopaholic hoarder with their paycheque in hand at a going out of business sale. They're going to buy up anything they see as a strategic investment, and they will do it at a steal with little to no push-back. They're going to be making bank on the medical supplies they are selling and likely their citizen surveillance systems that is (actually) really good at tracking and helping to manage stuff like Covid. A lot of companies and countries are going to welcome Chinese investment with open arms and put down anyone in their power who tries to push against it because all they care about are their share prices. Places where you see Covid hitting really hard (Central/South America) where there are literally bodies piling up in the street are likely to have a very large portion of the populace who will (once they can gather again) protest the Chinese presence in their countries and further Chinese investment because they equate the passing of their parents/grandparents/friends/ext. with China. Those protests (likely) will be put down hard by their leadership, because they're the only people in their respective nations who benefit from Chinese money anyway. Right now the west is talking about "Made in America/Canada/France/etc." but that will never happen because there is more money to be made this fiscal quarter if we remain in China, and like in the developing world, the people on top make more money this way, so LOL if you think things will change. As for political sanctions? See above. As long as the 0.005%-ers are still making bank, they will fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo. As soon as this is over (if ever) every politician will start being bombarded with "how are you going to fix the economy?" questions, and locking China out with political/economic sanctions isn't going to help. The instant Covid is over it's going to be forgotten and everyone is going to be screaming about their investments and home prices and forget why this situation was allowed to spiral out of control in the first place.

What's fun is if a vaccine isn't forthcoming next year all these countries that responded overwhelmingly and pushed their curves back down well ahead of herd immunity will eventually be stuck going back to work and n a world where covid is still a thing without antibodies, basically diving back in to this spring

Akuma posted:I guess this is the part I'd not considered. I have a family of four in a small rented apartment, we couldn't store more than a week's worth of fruit and vegetables in the fridge unless that's all we had in there, and it still wouldn't be much more. All things I hadn't considered. Sorry if I was overly harsh. I just assume everyone is and idiot or a troll or both these days. That being said, and as others mentioned more eloquently, there are alternatives to fresh stuff that you might have grown accustomed to.

How are the supply chains for coal and natural gas looking during this pandemic? Since that's where over 60% of our electricity comes from.

The point of flattening the curve is to only prevent big spikes that overwhelm the healthcare system. Only a few countries like South Korea and Taiwan are trying to go for full suppression.

Every time someone so much as questions the CCP's reporting you chime in with "I'm not saying I agree with or believe everything they are saying, but..." and then you post all kinds of ridiculous anecdotal arguments basically saying the opposite.
