Now Vitamin C was completely empty at my Walmart. Completely empty. My Walgreens had 4 things of it left. I bought one chewable type and one pill type. I don’t feel bad for that because normally I buy it in bulk and I would have purchased probably 8 of each. Hopefully this lasts at my regular pace until supply chains can catch up. I have some Vitamin D for you if you need some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes US tricky is that we are such a large country, with no borders between regions, and different places will have peaks at different times. It may be hard to resume life as normal in say NYC after things get under control there in May if a place like Florida is just peaking. Would we quarantine off the hotspots that lag behind, could we open up normal air travel and international borders? But we'll have to see what other hotspots develop. Hopefully everything is trending down by May. We'll see. You'll have peaks across the country and different time, we've just been told it'll be six months in the UK before things return to 'normal' - peak two or three weeks away.

Blahstoise Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 We've had 460 deaths in the last two days, all but 17 have had underlying health conditions and those who didn't were 59+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just out of concern for him personally, but if he were to get sick and pass, it would also be an unprecedented time for an election of a new pope. The church politics surrounding that, and how it would be done, would be interesting to say the least. Let's hope we don't get there. I cant even imagine how people would react to that and he's not in the best health with his lungs. Theyve really gotta keep him protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and tbh given 6 months from now is late September and we might be headed towards another huge seasonal wave, I dont think things will truly be 'normal' until maybe 12 months from now My hope is the most extreme measures like shelter in place, shutting down restaurants, and closed borders will be lifted in 1.5-2 months and we'll keep the less oppressive measures like no large gatherings, cruise ships, and precautions for the elderly longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked man runs into street, bites woman to death. First confirmed zombie case. It’s all over. India? Tamil Nadu? Man, stuff like that happens on a random Tuesday afternoon, pandemic or not.

Although to be fair I think that was their projection if no steps were taken to slow it down. Edited March 29, 2020 by rob_shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbuff Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 This is all surreal. The people still gathering in crowds need to be prosecuted, just a disposable act. I feel bad going to the grocery store to pick up food and people are out having parties. It really is disgusting. For the first time in my life as a 26 year old i don’t have a job and am not going to school. I’m going crazy. Collecting unemployment is brand new to me, and apparently we are getting an extra 600$ a week? Is that retro to when i was furloughed or how does that work? If anyone knows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
