Sorry........I don't get the Toilet Paper been Sold Out .....WTF it's not Diarrhea.........lol View attachment 5129
But if you're planning on locking down and staying in doors for a long time....you're gonna needs lots of toilet paper.
And this is why they are now in image control mode. But I agree with you in that both sides are making this political......although I'm strongly against Trump and Co. several years ago of having slashed the budgets of the agencies that deal with stuff like this. And all the while, the Pres. believes himself to be better and more informed than the people whose job this actually is and who are qualified to speak about it and assist in forming policy on it. All of this just makes me think. This whole thing (our present government) is going to get really bad before either it snaps back the other way and slowly fixes itself or it goes completely off the rails and I dread to even think what happens after that. Big Money has taken over and too many on both sides of the aisle have lost any and all sense of morality due to the large "campaign donations" - wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.
I wouldn't pay attention to what the Dems have to say, it sucks that it has to get political. It's all about containing it, while at the same time to not create a panic. I think most of the groundwork will be more from state and local governments. All the federal politicians care about are the results on Nov/2020.
The new James Bond movie which was highly anticipated for an April release is now being pushed for November, (amid Covid-19 fears). That sucks.
This is moving so fast, over 95k worldwide now, another dead in Wash State, and now one in California.
Italy closes all their schools and prohibits soccer fans from attending games. If this happened in N.America, it would be really huge.
We just had the Arnold Fitness Classic (Schwarzenegger's fitness and bodybuilding event) here in Columbus partially cancelled. It's still going on for participants but no spectators. That and participants from certain regions of the world with high virus rates are being excluded at this time. Going to be a huge loss in money for the city and businesses nearby.
You have the NHL and NBA playoffs in April, no telling how things will get by then. California has declared a state of emergency.
Trump was on Hannity last night and said he had a "huntch" the mortality rate was lower than 1%. Much lower than the actual experts 3.4%. You can't make this shit up.
I can totally envision all of this dickhead's advisers lining up every day and asking him to please stop saying stuff out loud....and yet he continues to do so. I'm still laughing at the time he said the weather heating up will kill the virus. First case got reported here in Tennessee and I believe it's in Davidson county where I am. The travel and hospitality industry in places like Nashville here are gonna take some punishment from this. And it comes on the back of a tornado that just ripped it's way through town...so people are really on high alert here.
The travel indstry will get pumelled, I can't imagine too many people that would want to go on a cruise considering all the problems there's been lately. They just might step in and have a ban on all cruises. The airlines will also see a beating, if not already. The psychological anxiety will be the biggest killer of all. Everyone paranoid when they see someone coughing. People will be afraid of letting strangers into their home to do any repairs, life insurance, realtors, any type of sales.
Fits in perfectly with his "reactionary" way of looking at EVERYTHING. He wants - needs - so desperately for the coronoavirus to just go away that it's almost as if he's trying to will it into non-existence by saying we'll be down to zero cases soon or the warm weather will kill it or the rate is far lower than that what the panicky media is reporting.
I've heard stories of gop constituents calling their local congressmans office spouting off trump talking points. It's all a hoax started by the dems to make the president look bad.
An Asian-American man born in new york, he's never been to Asia in his life. He's on the subway yesterday minding his own business when a black man starts spraying him with lysol saying that he has the coronavirus.
