Damn... even Tom Hanks got Covid-19

He isn't an idiot.  Its excessive buy not unrealistic.  If he had a disability buggy he might be at high risk of infection.  Hope he stocked well up on tins too.
So should you.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Even if you're not at high risk, stocking up on essentials so that you can stay home as much as possible is the recommended course of action.  The less exposure you have to other people, the lower your risk of infection is.

Still, 240 rolls seems excessive.

One 24 pack should have held him for a month.  Meanwhile, the rest of us have no more than 2 weeks because of his hoarding.  He is causing harm to the nation as a whole and has genuine reason for shame.

OK, now for some humor.

Has anyone noticed there is an outbreak of bad spelling online, specifically between 'horde' and 'hoard'?  As in

The hoards have picked the stores clean like locusts!  They shouldn't be hording TP like that!

I really hate autocorrupt.

There was a joke I heard somewhere...

Redneck face mask: Coffee filter and duct tape.

So, who's making the giant MegaMek game when we all get quarantined?  :D

[rebs]

Nah, once everyone has the Curse of Galedon, there's no point in a silly quarantine...

Solaris Grand Championship, starting with best-of-three matches for seeding/placement.

This is where all the hand sanitizer has gone

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Oh yeah, that guy.

Good candidate for having his inventory confiscated and distributed to hospitals.

[Liam's Ghost]

Some guy came into the local office depot back when the panic started and dropped almost five hundred dollars on the spot to clean them out of hand sanitizer. We figure it's even odds he was either planning on reselling them like this ****** or was off a ship and was taking them back to his home country.

A 24-pack would last me a year (if it's the MegaRoll).

One of my friends just looked at someone asking what would they do if they didn't get toilet paper.

Deadpan: "You have a shower, right?"

[Hellraiser]

You called him an idiot right?

I'm going to go with, YES, he's an idiot.

I heard Amazon has shut down some royal Douche bags that went & bought up pallets of T-Paper & then were trying to sell it on Amazon/Facebook/Ebay, etc etc, at a massive Profit.

Everyone needs to relax.

The flu isn't creating a shortage,  hording is what is creating the shortage,  using Hand Sanitizer 3x as often for safety doesn't mean you need 20x as much of it in your cupboards.



Someone was telling me about a fight they read about on facebook that occurred because someone tried to steal a box of baby wipes out of the cart of a women that had a new born & toddler with her.
1.  WHO DOES THAT????
2.  Do people think that baby wipes & Clorox wipes are the same thing??

I actually took the opportunity to install two bidet wands in the house. Planned on it before all of this, but now it just seems like a good idea.

[RABIDFOX50]

Everyone panic buying TP now knows what it felt like for those of us who were looking for .22LR ammunition a few years ago.  :D

[mikecj]

Yup, business as usual for us as the school district sends the kids home on Wednesday.

My wife is thinking she'll lose her mind.

The rest of us are dusting off the DSCA manuals.

[Tymers Realm]

And...   ::: sigh :::

My GF got the confirmation of cancellation of the remaining event. And it'll take maybe a month for her to get her booth fee back.

Now don't get me wrong, I fully get and understand the whys for everything going on. I agree to err on the side of caution and public health & safety. It just sucks in the short term. I think she had some $300+ tied up in booth fees for those four events. And for a really small business she has, that's a lot of money.

All county schools are closed, so I will be teaching by internet for two weeks.

[CrossfirePilot]

Schools in MN here closed for 2 weeks.  walked down to the local store to see the place going nuts.  wtf people?!?!  Who wants to bet that 99% of the people who ran down and hoarded a bunch of cleaning supplies never get around to using them to clean?  Was kinda the same around my house here. Wife was obsessing (still is) watching every news report she could get on it, and constantly asking me "aren't you worried? I'm worried." I finally pointed out that if she was so worried about it, our house would be more spotless than a hospital operating room.  I know with me down playing all of this, I am probably going to be the person that gets it, and then I will be hearing from my death bed "yeah see you should have been more serious about it, perhaps if you would have listened to another 3 dozen news reports you wouldn't be here"

I guess the lucky thing about my job is that I come in contact with very few people. Except those people I do come in contact with (hotel workers, airport personnel), come in contact with lots of other people.  Maybe I should just sleep in my plane, live off jerky and granola, and only use self serve pumps...

Same. I have a full day inservice tomorrow about how they’re going to try to do live instruction over our decrepit network (totally not going to be a disaster). Apparently the maximum concern for the safety of students doesn’t extend to us  :))

[Daryk]

Eh, those are just extra protein...  ^-^

[CrossfirePilot]

I was just joking with my wife, I am constantly getting Survival Food spam emails.  Now I wonder if I log into any of those sites, how back ordered are they going to be?

[Daryk]

More than they expected, less than they deserve...  ^-^
