Kinda sounds like they're underreacting then, doesn't it?

No they are just stupid. They freak out and buy toilet paper of all things but can't follow directions.

Panic response is an overreaction.

Again the PDGA is right to cancel events due to the current state of the country. My point is that a lot of it could have been avoided.

It's been and will continue to be an example of how bad Americans are about dealing with any kind of problem that forces them to use their brains.

The toilet paper thing is for sure an over reaction. Please explain what that's all about?

I don't know about the TP, I've had to take enough "emergency" poops in my life that I'm not worried about it.. You find a way to wipe.

It's just a great example of mass panic and hoarding, likely the tip of the iceberg too. Reminds me of a T/F question that hung me up on a safety exam and I failed out of the module and had to get the instructor to reset it:

Safety is common sense T/F?

Answer is False because not everyone has common sense. !?!

Twofold. 1, people worried about being stuck at home for a long period of time if they get forcibly or voluntarily quarantined. 2, trying to limit how often they go out in public in the spirit of #flattenthecurve. Both logical reasons I think, but one Costco package of TP lasts us a month at least so idk why people are hoarding many of them. Food will be a problem long before then.

#1 is for 2 weeks.
#2 is not logical when it comes to TP, imo
It's the hoarding that baffles me.

We either gorge ourselves or deny the reality of situations. We operate in extremes.

I'm really glad that the PDGA canceled the pro tour for the foreseeable future. My grandparents live 10 minutes away from Paul McBeth. If he caught the coronavirus because the PDGA didn't cancel any events and brought it back to my grandparents community I would be very upset. I would strongly consider pursuing legal action against Paul McBeth and the PDGA if my grandparents ended up getting the virus

What I'm hearing in the retail biz is that there are lots of rumors spreading of Chinese production being shut down (exaggerated!), and once the concern hits a certain tipping point, basic instinct (and game theory) tells everyone to go top up while they still can. This is in addition to concerns about being quarantined, of course.

I can also speak to the problem being everybody getting the same idea to buy a "responsible" amount of TP, rather than big time hoarders (who are certainly real and causing trouble, but are a small minority).

Lol dude i want what you're smoking too

I'm just having a tantrum lol. It's the right thing to do.

See I get the hoarding, Im on an island close enough to the big islands but pretty far if the ferries get shut down. I remember when a ferry rammed the terminal and took it out for about a month, no cars left and food came in via a barge. If there's just regular winter/permanent residents we will run out of food in a week with 2000 people.

I'm kinda thinking I should go to town and load up on chicken feed, dog food and groceries just in case I need to weather a month. Nothing stupid but a big bag of rice and beans would put me at ease.

Looks like the possibility of asymptomatic transmission is a greater risk than first believed, which is the conclusion the transmission spread has been pointing in all along. My Rheumo warned me of asymptomatic spread via children on Monday.

Following story published within last hour.

This is the part that I think a lot of people are missing when they argue for a commonsense approach. It seems that we can be contagious if we've been exposed, but are asymptomatic. In other words, healthy people with no symptoms can infect others before they even realize they have the virus. So, if someone finds out they are sick, and THEN they quarantine themselves, they've probably already exposed a bunch of other people over the preceding five days, or whatever. At least that's my understanding. So, that seems to be why the social distancing aspect is so important.

Lol. This is a really dumb take.

 

[ohtobediscing]

For the two of us in my house :

20 rolls of tp (should last a month)
Fridge/freezer and small deep freeze loaded and should last a month
A month of dry and wet food for the kitties
4000 dvds and 400gigs of music, restrung all my guitars
Short on herbal essence, though

Now to lay in a month's worth of liquor.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Time it takes between exposure and onset of symptoms:

Cold (rhinovirus):1-3 days
Fku (influenza): about 1-4 days
Covid 19 (SARS-CoV-2): not really well known at this point but seems to take about 5-12 days before symptoms appear.

More time to expose others before people even realize realize they're sick + highy transmittable is what makes this a nasty bug to take down.

I didn't provide sources for two reasons:
1) I encourage you to do a little digging and find out for yourself.
2) I'm on my phone and adding links is a pain.

The first time I heard that I should stock up on TP was in the context that all of the raw materials were going to be diverted to make masks so there was going to be global shortage of TP.

P&G has their HQs here in Cincy, they better not let their home town run out.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

The reason there's no TP is everyone realizes how full of crap people get when they panic... they're ust planning for the inevitable.

Cheap bastard that I am, I buy big family size packs of TP and paper towels when they're on sale cuz it simply costs less that way. Since I live alone, they last me months... unless my avatar gets carried away.:\

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

I got accused of stocking up for Covid last night, I'm infamous in the meat dept already... But it was frozen pizzas on sale yesterday so I bought 6 or 7.. I think my honey loves me more than pizza, but some nights I'm not sure. Don't need flowers, just a pepperoni deluxe special.
