Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Paying $10-15 for an 8 pound bag of the stuff sold by Fresh Step (Clorox) doesn't do much for my disposition. It's 1/16 to 1/8 inch particles, and over a dollar a pound seems absurd, but I have no idea what bulk prices actually run.

That seems a bargain to me, although I have not dealt with Silica gel. Just molecular sieve and activated alumina.

Illinois gov clearly has no knowledge of economics and banking.

Governor Pritzker orders all restaurants and bars closed for two weeks beginning Monday wow because of 93 cases such an epidemic better close groocery stores next - oh wait, there isnt nothing in them anyway

I can walk to his house from mine. You want me to pick anything up for you?

You could trade probiotics for hand sanitizer and Captain crunch.

Yes. More people die from the flu, car wrecks, heart disease, cancer, and many other things. Do we ever close the country down for any of those things?

A shutdown would probably be really effective for car wrecks. Gun shot wounds, knifings, etc are tough to call; they might actually go up in most places ... Chicago who knows.

“Governor Pritzker says he tried to get people to self-police, but he can no longer wait for that to happen.”

Italy and France literally did the same thing but kept open pharmacies and grocery store. And as for “93 cases” 1 person in South Korea infected 1,000 so I bet the infection rate is higher. Thus the health and welfare is more important.

Trump never said it was a hoax. I don’t get how the English language can elude you but it apparently has, or at least the understanding of it. Did Trump shutting down travel from China save lives or not? I’m guessing you’re referring to the supposed disbandment of more bureaucrats in 2018. But here’s the thing. We acted quickly once this thing was discovered so there’s no guarantee having those people would have made one bit of difference. It’s all speculation. So how else has this admin failed specifically?

Trump said all Mexicans are rapists, all white supremacists were "good people", and that coronavirus was a hoax. Don't you watch CNN or MSNBC?

Talk about seeing what you want to see.

I was simply correcting his attempt to politicize something in favor of socialism, when the example was actually philosophically conservative. Have fun going where ever you’re going though...

Sacrificing profit for the common good is philosophically conservative?
Maybe I'm more conservative than I thought.

Your belief is one never has been arrested?

Italy and France literally did the same thing but kept open pharmacies and grocery store. And as for “93 cases” 1 person in South Korea infected 1,000 - no proof of that at all - the common cold can do that

Bought all that stuff almost 3 weeks ago.

So you bought 2 weeks worth of supplies 3 weeks ago? I know a guy that might be able to get you some tp.

It has been here for months you damn ignoramuses.

No skin off my butt if they test someone who isn't sick.

If you pay taxes, I think you are paying for "free testing". Even for those who don't, deficit spending isn't likely improving their life in a meaningful way - all that free giving isn't without a cost.
