All those people snatching everything from the shelves are just being prudent...

Last week at local Wal-Mart. Saw 2 young men load their cart full of hot dog buns. 2nd cart had an almost full load of weiners.
Also, there was a run on Buttermilk?
didn't see any mustard getting included.

I wonder if he's the guy who wrote this rant.

I went and read the drivel that was linked to,
what a whinny little crybaby.
Oh poor me the whole world is against me and the it's the presidents fault.

With the local COVID-19 patient news tonight I just when out and unplugged our Nissan Leaf and kissed her good night on the plug in lid for saving me from those dirty gas pumps.

Yeah, but did she give you the same thrill as licking a 9V battery?

I also read it. The bloke hates his job, everyone else is screwed up, and it it Mr. Trump's fault. His main complaint being he is not getting full pay for sitting at home while contributing nothing. (The bloke did not meet the age 60 eligibility to receive that, which he glossed over.)

We have a national emergency at hand. So we should be supportive of each other to help deal with it, and get through it. Not like him.

I hadn't noticed the 'eight weeks' before. This gives us some idea what to expect.

"Governor Newsom wrote. "In some parts of California, our case rate is doubling every four days. we have community acquired transmission in 23 counties with an increase of 44 community acquired infections in 24 hours. We project that roughly 56 percent of our population 25.5 million people will be infected with the virus over an eight week period."

He is trying to scare people into staying home unless they absolutely need to go out. Not a bad idea for the senseless that continue to act like nothing is wrong.

You still have to touch the first one to do what you recommend. Why not just use gloves on the pump youæ±*e going to use?

No, you just drizzle gas all over everything at the pump including the key pads and your hands. Yeah, that's the ticket......
