Nerm Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I feel ok about food supply. My car is about empty on gas though, I should probably get that filled today. Loss of power or water for an extended period would be rough though. I'm a fat guy with apnea, it has been a long time since I have even attempted to sleep without a CPAP. I wonder what Darth Vader uses for a power source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started thinking about it Thurs, and today was the first day. I figure if people start going ballistic and utilities start getting shut off, we have enough water and non perishables to make it 6-8 weeks Water filter and bleach on deck for that. Drove by costco to see what they were out of. Cleaning supplies, water, and chicken. 5 minutes ago, dfitzo53 said: We are already running dangerously low on Fruit by the Foot, which everybody in the house but me loves.

Ev cars bro, never have to worry about gas again. If the virus causes power loss, it’s over. Edited March 15, 2020 by CousinsCowgirl84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a very red area. The parking lots everywhere are still full. people take their queues from people they admire or believe in It is not shocking to me that, as a personal observation, people that tended to (or still do) think this is not a big deal also tend to support/listen to people that downplayed things. Like trump supporters given how he’s spoken about it. even on Friday he couldn’t help but make a ridiculously dumb comment that is subliminal in its effect - “we should have 5 millions years available by the end of the month, but we won’t need that many” Sparing over politics while having a beer or passing time on the internet is fun and can be frustrating. finding yourself in conversation with those people right now just produces a feeling of helplessness and just sucks any hope out of you. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point they are looking at that as too easy not to spend a few bucks with such a high reward on investment. Was reading an article about how they are running troll farms from Africa to make it harder to trace its them, they are playing chess and telling Trump to play checkers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yeah. I could see us needing a month of mandatory shutdown. I don't see mass loss of electricity and water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard him on CNN late last week saying that because kids don't get sick from the virus, there's no reason to close the schools. No one said to him that kids can still carry the virus. Then they go home and pass the virus around to mom and dad or - worse - grandma and grandpa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I’ve only used the ‘sad’ emoji maybe one or two times before this thread started. Now almost every post deserves one. This stuff is just devastating and the impact hasn’t even started yet. Think I’ll take a break for a while and go for a walk. We all need to pace ourselves. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those people are going to die at this rate, I havent been able to absorb what that means because I dont know what it looks like yet and honestly dont want that to happen. I'm never a fan of people proving themselves wrong with their lives, but natural selection is not an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 At least my daughter works in a food store. I can give her my debit card so she can pick up groceries for me. I have about a month of food in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
