We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

If you do, my advice would be to shop at the local neighborhood markets. Smart and Final, Walmart etc are all stocked with food, but you won't find toilet paper.

I was actually born and raised in Oceanside. My sister still lives up there but i havent been to North County in a year or two.

At least here in KC the TP panic seems to have died down a bit or I’ve just been really lucky. Last couple of times I shopped about 1/3 of shelf slots were empty but the rest were fully stocked. Enough selection you didn't need to grab prison quality toilet paper

There is little point in engaging Discuss in conversation, he will just be endlessly negative about everything and will only agree with the fact that the world is ending and we will all die a prolonged painful death.

I went golfing twice already. I can go on the trails with my bike. Go to super market. Lots of things you can still do.

The only thing I miss is sports. That is it. States that open up too early are risking this being a larger outbreak than it needs to be potentially ruining the Chiefs and NFL opening in the fall.

Laughable.

"Negative" is just you coping with the realistic situation that we're severely fucked right now as a country. But go ahead being delusional bro.

Yep.

What I am about to say will probably be the most despicable thing in this thread, but there’s a lot of truth.

I am going to remove all emotion.


It’s everywhere, and will kill off many elderly people. There are several economical benefits. Money will be passed on and spent by younger people, Medicare and Social Security will have a great load relieved from them.

The economy is going to have a massive boost simply due to the movement of somewhat previously stagnant money. A lot of property that old people have sat on will be sold.

It’s like the burning of a forest. It sucks, but it will grow back stronger than before.


I love my parents, and I don’t want their money. I want them around as long as possible.

Well think about how bad the Great Depression was and extrapolate it to the current time.

And then add in the Russian mantra of "and then, things got worse."

And there you go. That's what we're looking at.

Aldi in Simi Valley has been reliable lately on TP, somewhat reliable on Paper Towels. Might be worth the trip. Try to go early, hoopleheads seem to clean it out as the day progresses. This is the one off of Tapo Canyon/Cochran. I haven't been out to the one off of Madera and the 118 for awhile. Oh, and there are limits (usually 1)

I don't think there will be sports this year and we all should start preparing ourselves for that unfortunately.
