Honest, honey, I was just a bit peckish. I didn't recognize the irony. Sure, it cost a lot but the food is so good.

I did not know.  How are you holding up?

Are you extreme isolating?

My girl, as I write this,  is on the front lines testing people for coronavirus.   

I doubt we can both avoid getting it so we're hoping receiving minimum virus particles at time of infection will make for a mild case.

I set up a "triage unit" in the garage with carpet and mood lighting where she can drive in, shed her clothes, disinfect her hands and face (only parts exposed) and run inside for a shower.     

Then we clean her car, shoes, doorknobs on the house, and wash her clothes.   

Then we clean again.

I originally had a gastrointestinal issue in late january from using our wellwater for brushing my teeth when part of our system (the UV light chamber) was malfunctioning.   

I'm 57 and it presented just like a heart attack at 4:00 am so we went in.   
My left arm bicep was cramping but that was probably from the extreme raking and sweeping I did the day before. 
I actually passed out during receiving and knew it was coming as the tingling started in fingers and feet before progressing until my entire body was tingling except my chest......which still hurt.   

When tunnel vision started in, I used same process pilots use to keep from gLoc and my vision opened back up but after 9 or 10 times, I laid down on the floor with my knees up and got one more full field of vision before the darkness came.   Luckily, I had empty bowels and bladder and woke up in a chair.     

They told me I was mumbling and playing air guitar before I fully regained consciousness.
 
They kept me for 2 days of tests and observation while I did all the tests with treadmill and such with imaging and two types of radioactive isotopes.........one injected and one oral.
 
I figured they would recommend stents or a bypass since I exist on bacon, captain crunch, and oreos but they said my arteries looked great and there was zero indication of heart muscle damage.

I tested negative for the flu and they released me.   

Started  feeling only marginally better for about a day at home until I presented classic flu symptoms.     It hit hard and I spent two weeks in bed.    I felt the very beginnings of lung issues just as I recovered but not enough to show up when listening with a stethoscope.   It went away in 2 days but I coughed up stuff for 2 weeks after.   

I'm hoping my coronavirus case will feel much the same or less severe and am already gargling mouthwash and such but I haven't yet convinced my girl that I need shots of whiskey as a preventative measure.

It was hard enough to convince her that we may need guns until I found a cheap broken gun in her lingerie drawer and fixed it up.    As of yesterday, she wants more guns.....LOL.

I also got a large cylinder of oxygen "for my welder" and surgical tubing but it's really there in case either of us run into low O2 levels in our blood before we can secure professional medical help.   
We won't let it give us a false sense of security but rather use it to deal with what would probably be a long wait for treatment.    The plan is to do our waiting in the car with the cylinder while we wait for a text from the hospital that treatment is available though we might have to wait longer at home...........hence the cylinder.

I huffed it like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet a few days ago and no bad tastes or negative effects other than pretty intense drying so work out a way to combat that.   
If you guys have any ideas.....let me know.

Guns.  Lot's of guns.

That is my largest fear:  that the government will land on the one perfect spot where there is not even one asset left that isn't going down.

The government cronies who are being given stupefying mountains of free cash will do great, though.

Yeah.  You know that 500bn they are trying to get through today?

But the language drafted by Senate Republicans also allows Mnuchin to withhold the names of the companies that receive federal money and how much they get for up to six months if he so decides.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/23/democrats-slush-fund-republican-rescue-package-143565

I'm OK with throwing some money around to get us through this, but I want every penny of the peoples money accounted for from the second it goes out the Treasury door.  I want a full account of who and what and when.

Throwing around 500bn in secret is a recipe for Crony Capitalism.

a couple of weeks ago, i bought prepackaged 40 lbs of beef and chicken,  wife was not happy.  but it was 5 bucks a lb. next day on impulse i bought 10 lbs of rice and beans. got a bunch of sopas. and canned vegetables.  wife was surprised, i prefer fresh vegetables and fruit.  not joking next day people made a run for the stores. now me i buy food for 1 week. but 300 bucks and i have enough food for over a month.

You terrible horrible hoarder.  How dare you provision a months worth of food for your family.  You should only buy enough for your next meal and keep going back to the store daily so the slackers who didn't bother to take this seriously until it was too late can get their late night munchies without inconvenience. Think of the greater Socialist Collective of weak stupid people!

You sir, are a dangerous arse!!!!

About what I'd expect from a Vapor Rub smoking crack-head.

[FLS]

China has reported 21 million fewer cell phone users in the past 3 months. In China cell phones are required for everyday life which also lets the government track you.

That does not mean they actually had 21 million deaths from the Chinese virus but it seems like a reasonable explanation.

[OldNitro]

China is also claiming to be "100% Back to Work".. Yeah uhhuh..

When China industries were cookin, before the Kung Flu, their
Powerplants were pukin out huge heat plumes and nasty exhaust clouds..
When they shut down, that stopped, it could be seen on IR scans from Orbit..

I haven't seen any of those satellite IR scans showing they are running again..
And there is internal Chinese media, risking their lives, to expose that even with
the lights and power on, factory floors are empty of workers.. Also reporting a
second wave of infections starting to show up..

And remember, Chicom party have been lying about this all along.. Sooo????

Do you have to pay extra if you want them to serve the food off their body

Those who suffer most from the mindless hoarding are probably some older people who do not have enough strength to carry all that stuff (like 10 packs of toilet paper), are on a budget and are also part of the virus risk group.

Reticulous hoarders should not forget condoms, so there would be less chance of them multiplying.

That's why you shouldn't dk around and wait until there are only a couple of lifeboats on the Titanic.  There will be a lot of panic with people trying to get in those while some of the first ones launched half empty.

I got my supplies two weeks before the panic hit.  I paid attention and saw it coming.  Over the course of a week I built up ~3 months supplies. The shelves were still full when I stopped.  I convinced my family to get stocked up a week before the panic hit.  The shelves were still full when they stopped.

I've told friends and family for a month to start getting stocked up for a long isolation and rough transition period.  Friends laughed at me so I just shrugged.  Family laughed at me but I pounded on them until they finally listened.  The people who are clawing their eyes out for those last lifeboats too late,  are not my close blood-relations.  I can't help them.  Not everyone will be saved.  Don't let them take you with them.

And there is a difference between stocking up for your needs for 3 months and buying ridiculous amounts of toilet paper to re-sale on Amazon. 

Anyone who had taken prudent steps to prepare before the panic started will ride it out fine until things settle down.  Those who were too clueless or laughing that this was all a media hoax?

So I think they're not going to like this news getting reported and they'll tell us it was all 2nd phones being cancelled.

They'd like to control everything but that never works. China is too big for central control, the officials who initially covered up the virus were in Wuhan, if we can believe the report.

The Chinese CFR on their official figures is 4%. If half of China was infected with a CFR of 4% that's 28,000,000. That's probably  high since the mild cases are unlikely to get reported.

Those two fine specimens look like they could miss a meal or two.  And I'm not sure full-sugar Mountain Dew is the smartest choice in emergency provisions.

The majority of my provisions?  Meat, salt, and water.  And water comes out of the faucet.  My only vice I still have?  Two cups of black coffee in the morning, but frankly if I ran out I would just break that habit rather than go to the store.  I don't drink soda or alcohol any more, don't eat cookies, don't eat avocado toast.  I got 3 6-roll packs of toilet paper.  That's a 3 month supply for me.  Not 10 packs.  Three.  That's pretty much it other than extra toothpaste and deo.  A checst freezer in my apt full of animal flesh and I'm good for a long spell.

People are going to need to harden the f up a little.

400 deaths in the last 6 days.
