Official Coronavirus Non-Political Thread: Facts and Updates ⛑

I am running out of TP. 2 rolls left. No TP in any store for over a month now. Where do I go from here?

You could order online…I am sure there are still stores that have a few bulks left.

From an anonymous UPS delivery driver… 5 types of customers since the “rona”:

  1. Steve: He has been waiting for this moment his whole life. He has been drinking boilermakers since 10:00 am in his recliner and his AR is within arms reach. He has 6 months provisions in the basement and a bug out bag due west buried in the woods. Steve demands a handshake as I give him his package. He’s sizing me up as I deliver his ammo. Steve will survive this, and he will kill you if he needs to.

  2. Brad: He is standing at his window wearing skinny jeans and a Patagonia t-shirt. He is mad because there were no organic tomatoes at Whole Foods today. He points at the ground where he has taped a 6 ft no go zone line from his porch. I leave his case of Fuji water, organic granola bites, and his new “Bernie Bro” hat at the tape. Brad will not survive. Steve will probably eat him.

  3. Nancy: She has sprayed everything with Thieves oil. Bought all the Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, meat, and bread from the local grocery chain. She has quarantined her kids and sprays them with a mixture of thieves, lavender, & mint essential oils daily. She has posted every link known to man about “The Rona” on her social media. She will spray you if you break the 6 ft rule. I will leave her yet another case of toilet paper. She will last longer than Brad, but not Steve.

  4. Karen: She has called everybody and read them the latest news on “The Rona”. She asked for the manager at Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, McDonalds, Chi-Fil-A, and Vons all before noon demanding more toilet paper. Karen’s kids are currently faking “The Rona” to avoid her. I’m delivering “Hello kitchen” to her. Karen will not survive longer than Brad.

  5. Mary: Is sitting in the swing watching her kids have a water balloon fight in the front yard as she is on her fourth glass of wine. She went to the store and bought 2 cases of pop tarts, 6 boxes of cereal, 8 bags of pizza rolls, And a 6 roll pack of toilet paper. There is a playlist of Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Post Malone playing in the background. I’m bringing her second shipment of 15 bottles of wine in 3 days. Mary will survive and marry Steve. Together they will repopulate the earth.

May God have mercy on us all.

So we’re all supposed to depend on Mary and Steve? Mary is an idiot who just sits around daydreaming and drinking wine, then she panics and runs out and buys junk food. And Steve is some paranoid weirdo with an itchy trigger finger. Their kids are going to be autistic retards.

And so will be all the world’s population after the pandemic. Autistic retards are going to inherit the Earth. Envy towards the ones who didn’t survive will be a predominant sentiment among the next generations for at least several centuries, same as it was in the Early Middle ages.

Someone should offer a version with an instantaneous water warmer.

I think there are versions you can control temp settings

Numbers from Vietnam (country I was born). Not as bad as I first thought it would be.

Thanks for keeping the thread on track!

It was never part of this thread…this is the kind of shit that happens when people abuse their discretion.

I thought it would have been somewhat higher, because many of the Asian countries still have wet markets. And W.H.O. wants them to shutdown.

No. It’s what happens when you make Corona-related threads without paying attention to the official threads that have been identified and the guidelines associated with those threads.

But who knows if the information is accurate? Nothing coming out of Asian counties can be relied on as being accurate, at best just an estimate.

More to your point the numbers are lower because those countries reacted quickly when this outbreak occured! HK being a good example of how they managed this crisis.

So there are a limited number of approved thread titles into which all Corona related news must be crammed regardless of relevance to the OP?

What if the current participants complain to moderators that their thread is being derailed?

There is not a limited number. There is a specific number. There is also an open general if your post does not neatly fit within one of the pre-defined categories that have been approved by moderators. If you were not aware, the media has dedicated an extensive amount of coverage to the Coronavirus situation. Without some structure, the entire board would be nothing but Coronavirus threads - which is not helpful to anyone.

I recommend that you not only familiarize yourself with these official threads but that you also familiarize yourself with the rules of this site. I’m not going to communicate with you further about this in this thread as to avoid derailment.
