Huaco Kid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I've been in the wilderness. And remote villages. And a poor, barely-functional, biker. TP is a luxury. No more; no less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy tom Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't know how long this hoarding will last but I'm sure we'll run out next week. Lots of soap and wash cloths will ensue. The water and sewage bills will be our demise. tom. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 The whole thing seems to me irrational. Today went out for lunch with my wife and daughter to a mom-and-pop Southern-style breakfast/lunch cafe. A couple there and another at the counter. In comes another customer, sits down, coughs a couple of times and says, "I'm sorry. Wrong time". Everybody had a good laugh. It's insane out there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out only, including bars. Laundromats closed. barber shops closed. All public access to govt buildings closed. Elective surgery cancelled. Only emergency procedures allowed for medical or dental. It's a zoo. I'm hanging out at home. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just announced here that you should only use public transportation if you have to. Isn't the only reason people use public transportation? I've never taken a bus because I wanted to. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the time when the absolute ignorance of local governments will show you their total lack of intelligence. I'm curious about the time when someone says this is over, everyone comes out of hiding and the next wave of virus goes through them. It's like testing for the virus and then walking away. How long before you should test the same people again for the same virus. The only ones that need testing only once are the people that have the virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was reminded the other day, this week, of the time when I got to replace my first golf bag (1993?). I was moving stuff from that bag to the new one and when I reached deep inside on the side of the handle, stuck there was a building plan for an installation, in Cyrillic. To this day I can't say with certainty how it got there. That's how ridiculous this whole thing feels to me. It all feels like a really bad Schrödinger's cat puzzle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPQer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Too few variables for an accurate prediction. I have ~27 rolls. Had them for years, will last for years more. I don't use them because I have the bidet attachment. But I must admit, sometimes paper has its place for an itch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Just before the panic hit a couple of weeks ago I bought the biggest package the store had of Generic brand 1000 sheet rolls. It cost ten bucks. I think it was 12 rolls and I usually buy the 6 roll package but they were out of those. I live alone and no woman in the house so it lasts me a long time. I asked a friend of mine recently how he and his wife were doing with the TP situation and he said they got a bidet about 6 months ago that both washes (with warm water) and dries your orifice or orifices.

Ricordo Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Perhaps we should name the virus---president xi's virus. You know, because communists will be communists. Or perhaps---The Toilet Paper virus... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might lean more towards President Xi's toilet paper, after he is potentially responsible for it's demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricordo Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Finally! Some semblance of rationality. "In an op-ed for The New York Times published Friday, David L. Katz, the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, suggests that “our fight against coronavirus” may end up being “worse than the disease.” By taking an “at war” approach to fighting COVID-19 — widespread shutdowns and isolation of the entire population — rather than a “surgical strike” approach focusing on the truly vulnerable, Katz argues, we have set ourselves on the path to “uncontained viral contagion and monumental collateral damage to our society and economy. “We routinely differentiate between two kinds of military action: the inevitable carnage and collateral damage of diffuse hostilities, and the precision of a ‘surgical strike,’ methodically targeted to the sources of our particular peril. The latter, when executed well, minimizes resources and unintended consequences alike,” Katz begins. The same dichotomy applies here, Katz argues. “This can be open war, with all the fallout that portends, or it could be something more surgical. The United States and much of the world so far have gone in for the former,” he states. “I write now with a sense of urgency to make sure we consider the surgical approach, while there is still time,” he warns..." https://www.dailywire.com/news/prevention-expert-data-suggests-our-fight-against-coronavirus-may-be-worse-than-the-disease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
