Here's my takes on toilet paper and generators.

1. People of certain religions or mindsets or philosophies or have a Great Depression legacy in their family memory have an inclination to bulk up needed supplies for times of hardship. Well, here comes SARS version 3, this time much more well-armed, and 14-day (or more) quarantines seem like a real possibility. What are you gonna run out of in 14 days? Toilet paper is at the top of the list. Stock up!

2. Generators. People start thinking about survivalist times, even if this one isn't it. It's not necessarily that they think they'll need a generator in a week, but this reminds them that they don't have one. Buy it while we're thinking of it.

3. People are stupid. Just calm down, buy normal stuff, put down "generator" as a reminder a few months from now when the prices will be back down, don't sell your stocks in a bear market, and there'll be plenty for everyone.

End of Days', (2008) written by late Sylvia Brown...

"In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely,"

Multiple confirmed cases at my university, it's spreading as well, impossible to quarantene everyone without checks, not sure what's going to happen. I ain't scared of this virus though, it's a glorified cold everyone.

For you it is. You're young. I'm assuming you have no underlying health issues. It's your thinking about this, going about your business with that attitude that is spreading it to others.

Keep your exposed self home.

For a moment I thought you were quoting the actual film End of Days? Anyone remember that from back in the day? No ... just me?

There is a press briefing going on about Corona at the White House, I'm of course getting the important things out of it.

Like this, is it me or does Mike Pence seem like an annoyed History teacher? No complaints though, I love history.

Just found out that Mike Pence actually studied history and has a degree in it from Hanover College,

couldn't make it up.

No closing there- just sanitizing!!

Safety at state liquor stores
The state’s liquor commission said it has stepped up cleaning of the dozens of New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets.{div}Employees have been instructed to clean often-touched surfaces like door handles and touch screens on an hourly basis. The commission is providing employees with gloves and hand sanitizer and is stocking sanitizing wipes near the carriages

Pubs and restaurants are all closed here, they said it was just for two weeks or thereabouts but I can see it being extended, over one hundred thousand people have lost their jobs because of the closures.
