Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

I think something else that needs to be remembered is you can test positive for the virus for something like two weeks after symptoms so just because you get a "new case" you have no idea how far along in the illness they are. When the big numbers start coming in it is because they are finding cases, not that the virus spread that much in the past 24 hours.

Im sure it was a medical doctors direction to check temps of people. Why it bothered you is puzzling.

I apologize if comes across as bothering me. It’s the image it portrays. That checking a temp will tell if have the coronavirus. At least that is what most of the population will think. Do airports still check temps? Asking because I know they were but did not know if they were still doing it. A question to ask. Let’s say the Brazilian president knew he had the coronavirus but told no one in our WH. He comes they check his temp and no temp. Yet we all know he has it. What would be the reaction to that? Same if is Trump does have it but does not tell his administration he has it. I am only saying checking temp is not a sure sign of someone having it or not having it.
 
I believe the president and vp should be kept away from people. Do everything by video. Reason due to their ages and their positions. Not to cause panic but to guaranteed we keep a chain of command. Younger administration I would not worry about.
 
Spent 550 on groceries today, 250 at Sams and 300 at Wally word. Entirely food, heavy meats, frozen veg and non perishables. I do have 8 cases of MREs and 4 cases water in the enduring stockpile, that is kept no matter what, and a ~8k munition supply. The MREs, H2O and Ammo are kept regardless, just prepared in that regard for whatever presents and to sustain if needed for 30 days.
 
I don't get the panic buying at the grocery stores. They will keep those, doctor's offices, and pharmacies open. Maybe shut down everything else.
 
Full disclosure, I wore nitrile gloves on both trips, different pair, sitting on a case of 1K, I kept an N95 in my pocket but did not break it out. I only have about 100 masks which I stocked in January.

Meals. Refused. by Ethiopians. The chili Mac, beef with bbq sauce, chili with beans, and southwest style beef with black beans was pretty good. The caveat is Tabasco. Put that $hit on anything and it makes it edible.

It's not necessarily panic buying as much as it is wanting to be prepared. There may come a time in the next few weeks when no one wants to go anywhere.

Just seems selfish to me to horde stuff like that during this.
 
When do you guys think we may peak with the virus? I think we're still gonna be in this for another month or two, are there any articles that have any information on this?

How long can grocery stores continue to stock and be drained only to be stocked again?

Well Italy is at least 14 days ahead of us and they are not predicted to peak for another 2-3 weeks.....then you got to factor in how many more people we have, really though the there will be several peaks the key is to spread them out over enough time to prevent what is happening in Italy from happening here, realistically though I would think at least through May.
