    I'm dying to be sent home from work, lol.

    Well, not dying.

    But I would not be pissed if I got mildly sick, tested positive for COVID-19 and had to quarrantine for 14 days. I have so many things I'd love to do at home, and I just scored a huge stash of yarn from a thrift store, so my creative juices are flowing and I just want to crochet crochet crochet.

    And go outside and plant things. Or at least weed the planting areas to prepare for planting, lol.

    TP is made in the USA. We might run out of many other things, but 'Murca will always be able to wipe our butts.

    Of course, unless those companies send their employees home. Then we're in trouble.

    (I should go grab those yellow pages that I just dumped in recycle in case we have to go really old school!)

    I am afraid there is no toilet paper to be had around my area.

    Also, my husband was up all night fixing things for work after massive 3000 plus orders for paper products, they had to pull the items from offline before too many orders came in they couldn't fill, pretty sure that already happened tho, not all the orders will be filled. People who think they scored some TP will be disappointed it is not coming!

    my genius son came up with what he feels is a sure way to get some more money for college. He heard they are paying people $7,000 to be injected with a weaker version of corona and his words "I'm young healthy and in good shape I'll be fine" :emoji_rolling_eyes:

    His dad shut that down fast...dumb ass

    There is 5 grocery stores in my area and every one of them is out of all sanitary products (female products included) and is pleading with the public via social media/news outlets to stop buying it all. Our local Sams sold out of 15 pallets of toilet paper in 3 hours.. (friend of mine works there). The home stores like lowes/home depot had a few items but I heard last night they were out too.



    What sucks is I usually do my shopping on the weekend so I'm guessing it's going to be me basically salvaging what others have missed.

    Good thing I'm an avid Fallout player I guess.

    Meanwhile, in the store down the street from me:

    Walmart and Costco (and probably Target by now) are sold out. But smaller grocery stores are still stocked and putting it on sale, lol.

    So why don't these places ration? Limit how many people can buy? They're not helpless. That part I don't get. Costco got a shipment here and rationed so it would last longer. Still sold out fast but a bunch of people got toilet paper.

    I agree, they need to say you can only get one package or something...or so many rolls. I went thru all three of my bathrooms, we have 15 rolls for four people. Hope we are okay for a while cause amazon is showing they won't have TP til April now, YIKES! lol

    That’s what worries me most about this whole thing, not the virus itself. Are the people who didn’t panic-buy like us going be totally screwed when we just try to get a standard amount? From the local Facebook groups, it sounds like the grocery stores have been a madhouse. :emoji_confused:

    Sams actually had a two-pack limit.....

    The police got called so much they had to station three officers there because people were stealing from other people's carts.
    Also, old ladies were getting jumped in the parking lot... a lot of people here are going full riot and acting like idiots. I understand being worried but knocking down people and stealing is a bit much. Plus people were going in one by one from a household and getting the limit so...it didn't ultimately help toooo much.

    Grocery stores I can't comment on because I think they are just selling it and not caring.

    I'm really kinda worried about the aftermath and the quantity of bankruptcies that will come happen after it's over as people miss work and bills pile up and what not.
