Its been crazy here too , Im an essential employee so Im working still and try to grocery shop after work . I have plenty of toilet paper and paper towels thankfully as there is none in the stores when I have been there . No ground beef , fresh chicken or pork , canned good are thin too . Plenty of Seafood type stuff , but I cant afford that stuff . If people would just buy what they need there would be plenty for everyone .

That's the problem John, people buy a month or even up to 6 months worth of goods. That means somebody else has to do without. It's a "me" society. I'm going to worry about me and to hell with everybody else.

Take care of yourself John, be safe.

Hey Tony, it's okay to come back to MI now. Bars are closed but liquor stores and marijuana shops are open!

Nah, I think that I will stay down here in the middle of no where. I see very few humans, and that is the way I like it.

Good idea.
The virus does not like heat and hi humidity.

Not sure that's true. They hope it's true and dies out in the summer like the flu. Don't think they know that yet.

I am thankful to have a job still. But, I really despise people. I am exposed daily, not wearing a mask. I washed my hands and used common sense before it was trendy. Lots of conflicting information out there, and the media is really trying to sell the doom and gloom.

And when I do post conflicting info from what the bullshit MSM does, the idiots become all riled up. It is astounding how closed minded some of those asshole are.

As an example, the headline from The Flint Journal, the local newspaper in Flint, has a headline that says "Ruben Burkes, former UAW leader dies from virus". Only when you actually read the article, it states that he "might" have had the virus. He was 86 years old with multiple health issues. Most just read the headline and believe it. When the paper is questioned about it, they do not respond. They rely heavily on the AP for thier major stories, so the are well versed at spreading lies and bullshit.

You can argue about the virus all you want but the doom and gloom part is real. This country and half the rest of the world is closed. Whether the virus is real or is as bad as they say or not, the economic impact is going to be devastating. How many people will be without a job when this is over? How many businesses will be closed for good? I think more people will suffer from that than the virus itself.

I own my cars, my home and have a pretty steady and secure income so in that sense we should be fine. I think you're in the same situation Tony but 3/4's of this country are not. They'll be trying to recover from this for years. Maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am, guess we'll see.
