I found this pearl of wisdom on the ninnynet: China has lead gray skies on a sunny day. Everybody has a compromised respiratory system. The disease kills there because of their environment.
If that I true, cities and coal mining regions will have a problem here.

Unless there is an epidemic of the raging shits, there will be the same amount of TP after this all blows over as there was before. It'll just be stored in everyone's closets until they can burn through it all. Store shelves will remain overfull of TP until such time, and its market price will probably drop.
This has been an interesting read. We're having friends over tonight for corned beef and soda bread. I have zero concerns.

Small groups, no concerns indeed.

Ohio’s four casinos and seven racinos must shut down or keep the total number of people in the buildings, including employees, under 100, as part of the state’s effort to contain spread of coronavirus, the state ordered Friday.

What was so great about TP anyway?
Ever tried a damp paper towel? it's fantastic.
Throw it away, little trash can with a lid on it so it seals, No different than diapers. You didn't hear that from me.
Or maybe I'm doing it wrong. I tried one of those japanese toilets with the water spray, which has been so hyped lately, well, that didn't do the job. Just spread it around. Then the TP once wet, just comes apart. Just didn't work at all. Am I doing it wrong? missing something, I certainly hope so otherwise the current ass wiping technology is poor stupid system.
I think I will use some denatured alcohol to mix up a bottle of hand sanitizer.
Close enough?
My hands get dosed with cutting fluids, fuels, solvents and oil so often it's not going to be any different than usual. I never really knew Alky killing viruses was a "real thing" but I looked it up and it actually seems legit.
70% Ethanol in a spray bottle. healthy AND enjoyable.
OK I can do that. not so bad at all.
Why talk about it and do nothing? Get action |

I've got a spray wand on the side of my toilet. I use toilet paper to wipe the water off.

here is some interesting info on survival rates for certain cancers, compare America to our nearest socialist healthcare neighbor, Canada...

of course America also has four times the number of mri machines per capita as Canada too. 9 verses 39 mri machines per million people.
Now why should you force socialised medicine on me when the cancer survival rate is so much lower in an other wise simular nation with socialized medicine?
the long wait times for procedures in socialised medicine nations is also known to be a big problem.

The MMAC has all non-essential personnel, both FTEs and contractors, on Work From Home status until further notice. A friend of mine, who has been an FTE there for over 10 years, told me the directive came down from DC over a week ago that all FAA offices in DC and outward were to start WFH protocols immediately.
People need to start being smart about this. Unfortunately, the Governor of Oklahoma doesn't fall into that category.

Nothing from Indiana, but I don’t think I’ll be going to any restaurants or bars or casinos if the state’s to the east and west think it’s a good idea.

Dude. It is not a matter of the news or radio. Rather that I prefer my private health plan. And importantly I am not pushing on anyone to buy it. There are some who want a socialist system for healthcare which gives the same identical service regardless how much or little a member pays for coverage. I say fine do it but leave me out of that plan , don't force me into it. let me keep what works for me.
What is so difficult about that? To do otherwise is totalitarian’ authoritarian and socialist.

That is horseshit. Lots of people do not have health insurance because the welfare system will pay for it. Here in the USA no hospital can refuse any person that needs immediate medical care reguardless of their ability to pay.
The community I live in can not turn off the water services of any residential home that has children living in it no matter how far they are behind on payment.

So when you need a double bypass and can't pay for it you go to the emergency room and they will give it to you? Which emergency room will treat cancer?
There's health care and then there is health care.
What health care plan of yours will go around the country and inject cancer found in your body into lab rats? Then the lab will study the rats so that when your cancer comes back it can be cured. I know families who have done this. It happens.
