Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

And my tennis club closed. Wtf. One of my last chances at normalcy. Is tennis not the ultimate social distancing game?

You in an apartment building?

Welp.... Our refrigerator went out this morning so we went to Home Depot this afternoon to get a new one and guess what? They are sold out. Damn hoarders

Oh ,and you can’t order one because they are assembled in the US and they are shut down

Craig's list out is...

No, it's not. Socialism and Capitalism are on the same continuum. I've stated this is a failure of capitalism in relation to public health.

Is it a failure if it wasnt designed/intended to do the "failure"?

 

[BeecherVol]

I wouldn't be happy, but I guess it's worth it considering the alternative.

We had just finished a forced remodel/gutting of our kitchen and bathroom due to a leak.

Rolled the fridge back in and 2 days later it goes down.

It is what it is.

If you want to fly in April or early May, Spirit has a ton of $18 flights to most everywhere.

I bought all of my fall football/basketball flights the other day (hello, Madison!) at rock-bottom prices, as well as some trips to see buddies over the next few months, but I can’t say with any confidence that any of them will come to fruition.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

This is good.

Gas is a $1.78 by my house. Any way I could buy a bunch now and be good for like a year?!

Washington State has got the National Guard in place and is already assigning “essential personnel” car stickers. Looks like they’re getting ready to lock it down.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Anybody think this beats 911 as the most significant national event in your lifetime? I think for me it is. I’m 41 for reference.

Maybe but you have to look at who you’re dealing with. These are liberal cesspools where people think laws and rules don’t apply to them and they can just do whatever they want.

You didn't ask a question.

Sorry I was short but I was doing about 5 things. If I’m accurately stating your position, the reason I called red herring on your first statement is that imo, it went something like this.
You: We could use central planning like China.
Me: central planning sucks and has killed a lot of people.
You: When we vote, we are voting to be centrally planned. (red herring)
You: Trump voters are anti-gov types. (I called red herring and non - sequitor on this because if the act of voting is an endorsement of central planning (which is gov) how can Trump voters be anti-gov? According to the logic Trump voters can’t be anti - gov because the fact that they vote is an endorsement of central planning.

It’s definitely a surreal experience.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

I trust the licka sto clerk more than I trust the government.

Only if they give me their employee discount, if not, they are dead to me.

That is one F'ed Up question. The cause and outcome are the same.

It’s weird to watch how the different governors are reacting to it . Northram here in Virginia said , since was in the 80s today he encourages people to get out , he also lifted the licenses for restaurants that sell beer and wine so they can sell them to go now .

Wish they would do that here. It's 80 and humid but everything is closed...indoor eating....bars...the beach.

I think the government overreach we will see come out of this will be on par with that that resulted from 9/11.

Dry Ice will help until you can find one.

 

[RavinDave]

I've been off since last Friday. They have 2 others they wouldn't clear to come back. Oc health is so overloaded they haven't called me back to clear me for sat and Sunday. ICU short to begin with, now they are shorter.

I hope you get cleared soon. We need you.

29, and there’s no question that this is the biggest upheaval I’ve ever experienced. I fully recognize that it’s hard to grasp the magnitude of things when you’re a kid, but 9/11 wasn’t nearly as impactful for my family/community at the time as this ordeal has been.

I have a working one in an unrented house. How far from Mid Tn are you?

At least we could go places during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

A working dry ice? It always works until it evaporates.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Sold out of those too.They have the ones on the floor but Depot doesn’t sell those.

I purchase a lot of appliances for my business and my home Depot doesn't stock any full size refrigerators. Everything is special order.

It will far surpass 9/11 and they will never forget what we have allowed them to do.
