Hudini...from your unique perspective, thoughts on the new Chinese corona virus (Page 49/146)

Well things are improving here daily. My airline announced the 40 days unpaid leave has been reduced to 15 days. We are at 75 flights a day and growing.

I remember buying one of those 30 day buckets of food for emergencies. It's mostly dry stuff like pasta and freeze dried soup like in a MRE. I received grief and eye rolls until very recently when the advice to stock up food for two weeks was given. I'm so trying not to act smug.

Currently receiving texts from our school district concerning the virus asking students and students that have family with flu like symptoms to stay home. A link to the district was provided.

They really are telling us here to stock up on food, medicines, and necessities. Might be a good time to at least prepare for a few things.

It's getting irritating to me.

I've got a mild chronic cough, and now every time I do somebody is giving me the evil eye.

Don't imagine it will be long before they are in my face over it.

I picked up some meats yesterday and the store here is fully stocked. Same next town over. Guess mass panic and stupidity is a big city thing.

Stocking up on bread? Yes, I want to eat that after 3 weeks

I think this means the Aussie are scared shitless of the virus.

Our society seems to have become so sissified... everybody needs to be canceled, shamed, protested, fired or scared of the next flu. Life happens, when its your time.. its your time.

I've given up worrying about next week/month/year.. and have started worrying about today for the last few years as I get older.

Well, that could be the reason they are running out of toilet paper.

There's always a silver lining/ a bright side to everything somewhere.

A global run on TP...
this means fewer trees.
A win for me.

Actually, paper production results in more trees, not less. A fact that is ignored by most of the Gretanistas.
