I wonder how many are sick and how many don't want to get it and bring it to their families? If this picks up it could escalate quickly.

Yeah, no idea, but it's quite a bit higher than normal.

The stimulus pkg is 2 trillion. Earlier last week fed announced 4 trillion in loans

I read that there might be a provision in there that if you make a loan to keep a business afloat and retain your employees, the loan would become a grant. I dont know if that language made it through though.

I, for one, am praying it did

We've actually started to eat pick up because I don't want to entirely run out of food. We cooked at home tonight, but some specific ingredients are still a bit difficult to find.

I allowed myself to go a bit hoarder-nuts late last week. A local grocer was advertising briskets(Choice, meh) for 1.69/lb. My nearby store had none and would have none, and they have been out of chicken and pork as well. On my way to work I stopped at a Tom Thumb and begged the butcher for 2 briskets. I didn't even care how they looked, I'm usually picky. So I got briskets, and they had chicken so I bought 2 packs of chicken breasts and 1 of thighs. On the way home, the wife tells me the local Costco has TP, so I set out over there, wait outside to get in, no TP, no paper towels, etc. But I picked up 2 packs of boneless pork butts for a total of 4 butts(hehe). I would normally not buy boneless, but then again, these ain't normal times. It'll smoke up the same. So we're good on meat for over a month now. About that tp though.....

On the TP we have, I have enacted a strict 3 sheet per wipe rule. If anyone is suspected of using more than 3 sheets, the roll will be removed from the bathroom and 3 sheets per wipe will be handed under the door.

You can do 1 wipe per sheet by using 2 sheets at a time. No, I'm not teaching anyone! ?

I found this tool handy. According to my current stock for a family of 5, we have enough for a 53 day quarantine.

Need something for zombies.

The best defense against zombies is to stick with people who all run slower than you do.

 

[superchuck500]

Well, I suppose it's good to know we're not the only ones.

Or to cover yourself in zombie guts like TWD.

Here we go again. Their 100 case mark day was on 03/14. Let's see how this works out for them; surely things will magically be different this time, right? Right?

I wish I could give you more than 1 Like for that link. You just helped me prove to the other 3 people in this house that there's a method and reason for my 3-sheets-per-wipe madness.

And Brazil is cooling rather than warming.
