Dont be the jerk who empties the shelves, but, yes, get some TP. And some paper towels, laundry detergent, soap, coffee, food with a moderate shelf life, etc. Folks need to be prepared to be quarantined for a bit. Will it happen? Who knows. But this is where the “I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it” adage applies. Yeah, like a pack. But don't let that be the first thing you sprint for when you get to Costco. Or like you see in a ton of videos online, the only thing you buy. Edited March 12, 2020 by PapaShogun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to go there and not get political. Hence, tread lightly. What? If we can't discuss the impacts that the health system being good or bad has on the spread of the virus then there's nothing to post but statistics and body counts, that's asinine.

It's ridiculous, I have like 7 rolls left in the house and need some. I don't need 3 years' worth, I just need to get through like 3 months. A 24-48 pack would suffice. Thankfully I got a roll of 12 to tie me over. I can't believe I have to have this conversation but it's a reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think societally here. Normally, supply and demand works. Don't need something, don't use it. In this case, it doesn't. We want people using the healthcare system just shy of capacity because the more people get treated, the fewer deaths we'll have. I guess the reason i'm saying what i'm saying, is because if millions are infected it's going to overrun the health care system if everyone runs to their family doctor. Which, most people don't have one, so good luck getting an appointment. In which case they'll go to urgent care or the ER. I agree, use it up to capacity. I'm more concerned about the capacity issue, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Spain's first death was on March 2nd, today alone they had 31 deaths. Death is a lagging indicator with Covid-19. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
