Coronavirus II

[Hatin Since 87]

No doubt. In my AO spreadable margarine (Country Crock, etc) tubs are nonexistent. All you can SOMETIMES find are sticks of vegetable oil spread.(Imperial, Blue Bonnet, et al) . Friday AM there was nothing but butter based products in my Walmart. Saturday AM at the Meijer up the street there was a shipment of Imperial that had arrived. As I approached the case, an older lady in front of me grabbed 10 boxes of it and put them in her cart. 40 sticks of "butter" for one family. Really? That was probably 1/4 of what was on the shelf for one person.Even if it were for a large family, I have a hard time believing this was a reasonable purchase for one week.

If she wasn’t wearing a face mask you could do what they did in the video r45 posted. Drag her out of the store and take the butter for yourself... under the guise of public safety, of course.

We’re all in this together? Really? If that were really true, there would be toilet paper on the shelves. That there’s not toilet paper on the shelves just shows we’re in this for ourselves.

I think there's a logical reason for why there isn't TP on the shelves.

Nobody is using commercial TP. Seriously, the stuff in the dispensers at schools, restaurants, etc. isn't being used, but people aren't using any less, so there really is an increase in demand on the Charmin, etc.

I would guess that something like 40% or more of the TP used in this country is used in commercial buildings, and that's not happening anymore, so there's a real need for more of the household stuff.

Ok so now I’m lost on what to call it... is “Moo Goo Gai Pandemic” acceptable?

OK, those are funny.

I've got some Steramine(?) coming Monday, but I'm going to need to get a spray bottle, and remember to save a gallon milk jug to mix batches.

Awesome. It's good stuff.

Mine should be here Monday also. I already have a Windex spray bottle that only had a ounce or two in it emptied and rinsed out. The Storage one gallon jug is a Heinz White Vinegar jug that I bought to use descaling my coffee maker.

Make sure you rinse out that milk jug really good, milk can leave a film on the inside even after a good rinse.

I have to do it.....

HELLOOOOOOOOOO...ooooo..oooo..ooo..oo..o

It was margarine. Not butter. Margarine is a plasticized hydrocarbon.

Butter comes from cows, not dinosaurs.

Yep. Kids used to use the bathroom at school for 7 hours a day, and working people used the bathroom at work for 8-9 hours a day. So instead of using home TP for 16 hours a day, they are now using it 24 hours a day, a 50% increase. The struggle is real (unless you are like me and have enough stockpiled that you don't have to buy it at the store right now.)

But the major voices who continue using it are racist.

Mainline people on both sides of the isle have dropped it, including President Trump.

So now I'm racist?

IHME says indiana peaked three days ago. not flattened the curve. peaked.

Because of y'all on here, I have 2 bottles coming this week.

Can us "essential" workers get a vacation?




I've seen people on FB post that essential workers should get "hazardous pay".
Ummm, we are. It's our paycheck when others aren't getting one.

Also, while we have something around a dozen cases of Whuhan here, there have been no deaths.
But we just had our first (and hopefully only) death from one of the usual causes. Fall from a height.

What about countries that don't use TP? They should have excess?

Just rub dirt on it.
Unless you're military. Then take a Motrin, and change your socks.

My mistake.
According to this, we've had our first death from Wuhan.
Unless they're counting the 20 foot fall as a death from Wuhan.

Just found out, there was a death from a fall
And a death from Wuhan.
Both in the same week.

It would have been easier, quicker, nicer, to just give that dude a surgical mask.Problem solved.

If you're pooping 24 hours a day, you should probably see a doctor. Maybe think about some Kaopectate or Immodium too.

That was in Philadelphia Sylvain. The city that prides itself on having thrown snowballs at Santa Claus.

Safety isn't the point. The point is compliance. Compliance with authority, not even the rules.

All the more reason to turn this thing back on. It’s much bigger than TP, we have huge amounts of food that was headed towards restaurants, caterers, entertainment events that’s literally being dumped in landfills while shelves in supermarkets are bare and being rationed
