Corona Virus #5

[California]

'Panic' buying may be partly thoughtless but consider this:

We are being asked to shelter in place, don't go out, for weeks and if you believe some of the news, the need for this may go on for months.

So stockpiling many weeks of nonperishable goods isn't necessarily foolish.

I agree.

But 'many weeks' doesn't mean shopping carts full, unless you have a family of twenty.

The 24 rolls I bought in January, long before any of this got going, should last 4 months or more. I won't be in need of more until May sometime.

I agree.

X2 . . . but I believe most of us were well prepared before this all started . . .

So no wife or daughters in your household?

Interesting read... sorry if it has been posted previously.

Chloroquine Known as Effective Against Coronavirus Since 25

The guy from the FDA was very cautious with his opinion about chloroquine. He said there has to be a bunch of testing before they approve it.

We're moving up from normal just-in-time 2 weeks supply of stuff to maybe four weeks, nothing drastic. I expect supply lines will gradually catch up after that sudden stripping of everything out of the stores all at once.

Wife just came back from the store. Hardly anyone there.
