Getting supplies

[antelopedundee]

There was a News show on saying Charmin TP was made in China and may not be available in the near future. That morphed into just “toilet paper” and they’re off to the races!
Somebody ought to start the rumor that Owning a gun reduces the risk of catching the virus! That will change things!

So if the Guvmint owns your guns it means less Guvmint folks to get CV. Don't give them sumbitches any ideas.

They said the virus is doubling every 6-7 days. If that's the case initially is doesn't look like much to worry about. But things snowball as time goes on. If this started with 1 person and each gave it to 2 people, and each of them gave it to 2, and so on, the 1st 10 weeks doesn't look like much, the 2nd 10 weeks looks serious and by the 3rd 10 week period, the numbers are in excess of the populations of the United States, Canada, and Mexico combined.

Who is: "They", and when did "They" start counting? Given the latest outbreak was discovered almost 3 months ago in Dec. 2019, I find your numbers highly suspect, as the world's 8 billion people would have been wiped out over a month ago, using the progression you present.

Since we are out of n95 masks and chem suits I guess this is the next logical choice:

I just hope all the idiots that don't get how serious this is stay the hell home and not pass it around during their incubation period . Internet tough guys,until they get the first symptom and then the it's all about them .

Boy, you're a little testy today Mr. Whipple, did you run out of Charmin?

My wife sent me to Costco today to get some toilet paper (which we actually need SOON!), but there was none to be found. Didn't want to waste the trip so I bought a 48 pack of beer, big bag of pistachios and the large pack of Costco hotdogs, should be good for awhile. Ha!

Have you ever ran out?
My brother visited on vacation several years ago. My wife went to work early so no one else left in the house. We both woke up with the Norwalk virus, thank you BurgerKing, (Projectile spraying from both ends every few minutes for hours and praying for an easy death). I first went to the bathroom and guess what, NO TOILET PAPER!!!, none in the house. No paper towels, newspapers or anything. O.M.G. What now? Had to improvise. We each used wash cloths until they ran out, then used a personal wash cloth and rinsed them out. By that time it was just hot water. Funny looking back on it now! Glad it only lasted 1 day.

Of course it goes without saying that the majority of people we share this planet with do not even have access to toilet paper. Wonder how they survive.

You forgot the roasted Chicken?

I only eat chicken cooked on my Big Green Eggs.

Here are some suggestions for preventing being infected. Please note the methods are inexpensive and easily sourced at your local dry cleaner supply house and Walmart's.

Yes. Until the hot dogs and beer kick in. You still don't have TP

I just got back from our local Wally World. Plenty of TP so I grabbed a 24 pack.
I guess I’m a hoarder?!!? I bought some cocoa powder too! My wife is gonna make me a birthday cake if I last till next week. Angel food cake with chocolate whip cream icing cures the virus!......or so I assume!

Only if you rub cake icing over your entire body.........I think I read that on the internet......LOL

I think that story included a couple Mexican hookers. I haven’t heard how it ended tho.

Happily!

Wellllllllll....there are many rumors connected to the story. But I heard it was legendary.

DAMNIT! I just heard I can not use Makers Mark to ward off the virus. I am a sitting duck now.

I can recommend a couple places in the world that I've been. You get gather your own data.

That's why I went with a liter of Jameson's.

I heard some Iranians tried illegal Moonshine. It didn’t go well for them. I think it only works with bath tub gin but you have to be in the bathtub.
