Today I went to Walmart to buy some liquid decongestant.
They were sold out out account of the corona virus panic. Same with other medicines and toilet paper. I wish more people would calm down and think logically. I wish I had bought stock with companies who sell toilet paper. :-) I am really enjoying the cheap gas prices. Andy |

Andy It's happening here now with some items too. Supermarkets and Walmart are out of TP, wipes, spray disinfectant. But plenty of food of just about all kinds, including some that you'd think could be out, like canned soups. |

Maybe this is preparing us for socialist Bernie Biden's toilet paper rationing program? |

Andy I was in Wal-Mart yesterday, this one was out of toilet paper in the usual section, but they hadn't gotten to the RV department yet. I don't use much of the stuff, having a toilet-seat bidet. Gas is $2 here. Maybe that $79 fillup will stay just a memory (from about 2007). -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night." Philip K.

Ooooo! That's brutal! But true. Read the article that mikey posted about the Philadelphia parade. After his initial failure to prevent the epidemic from exploding, Wilmer Krusen had attempted to address the crisis, largely in vain. He asked the U.S. army to stop drafting local doctors, appropriated funds to hire more medical workers, mobilized the sanitation department to clean the city, and perhaps most important, clear bodies from the street. It was too little too late. On a single October day, 759 people died in the city and more than 12,000 Philadelphians would die in a matter of weeks. Important line: But it will also be a good moment to remember the damaging costs of shortsighted medical decisions shaped by politics during a pandemic that was more deadly than war. |

They were out of TP and sanitizers of all types but I didn't notice anything else in short supply. |

They open at 6, I don't think you'd see many people in there at that hour prior to this. No fresh meat, no TP, just a few huge $17 paper towel bundles, no sanitizing anything, dry pasta mostly gone. Rest of the store was pretty much OK. Some supermarkets here just announced they are limiting the number of people allowed in at one time, that's a good idea. |
