What I really took from that was: - Were gonna bleed our nation dry spending money on the medical Industry which has already bled me dry for the rest of my life. Maybe we could get rid of NASA, that’ll save some coin. -As an avid hunter I picked up some good knowledge on CWD and brainworm. |

Yeah as many questions as there were answers there but I just thought it was a good conversation and they covered a lot of interesting topics. I've gotten to the end of the internet and ended up watching canal boats again to put me to sleep last night! |

Thanks for the shout out to ALL small business Tim, We appreciate it. As for me, I think we'll be ok because I just got an email from an attorney in Nigeria this morning and apparently I have a long lost relative that has died and left me 20 Million. Gotta go...... |

Getting bad here too.. I’m in the burbs of London first to go was all the bog roll and pasta then all the beer and wine, now all food in the supermarkets, they cannot re stock faster enough, looking like we are heading for a shut down, staying at home maybe as long 12 weeks.. we have seen queues in the USA too some at gun stores…
As we understand it for some its like a light flu but if your older or have a condition or smoke it can bring on pneumonia fast, hence the need for ventilators to help people recover. Good Luck Guys and stay well. |

I’ve been swimming and skiing in White Lake, NC since 1959 with no obvious side effects, so hoping I can survive these uncharted days😎

Interesting about the beer and wine. Our stores have plenty of beer and wine but are very low on food and no paper products. I went to Sportman's Warehouse just to see the gun situation. All the ammo is gone except for the less popular calibers and there was a line at the gun counter with most of the displays empty. Also I bought gas yesterday and was surprised to see how cheap it was, $1.85 for regular. |

Fuel is an interesting double edged sword right now. Cheap at the pumps, gas should be below $2 everywhere. But the price war is another thing suppressing the economy at the same time as the mayhem. I'll take the cheap fuel for now, gives all of us some relief for the time being.

My wife was able to order some TP on Amazon, and it shipped. I'm pretty sure TP won't be a long term problem, there are other things in the supply chain that will become more difficult as we move forward.
Can't find any alcohol wipes, sanitizer, etc. Pretty simple stuff to manufacture, amazing supply hasn't caught up yet. Hadn't looked for bleach, curious to see if there is any next time I'm at the store. |

We've been able to get everything except TP. I tried five stores looking for some the other day. All the usual stores....SOLD OUT, and not getting any for two weeks. I thought, hmm, desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm gonna try the lumber company. SCORE!! Got two cases. Shout out to Menard's. I didn't try HD, but, I don't think they normally carry groceries and household products.

If your desperate for TP check the RV stores. Not exactly soft but it works.

I'm guessing most here have seen the distillery in PA that shifted over to making sanitizer, and others are doing it. Here in NH several very small distilleries are being contacted to see if they can do it. The guy in PA said the mix is easy and simple, the hard part is needing a source of very high proof alcohol, and he had that so shifted production over. Some good people are figuring out creative ways to help out. |

I read that California deemed pot stores to be essential business. Creative decision making. Or maybe the decision maker needed some.

Pete.... I didn't remember ever seeing that kind of stuff at HD.Now I know. But, I did get over to HD this evening before the gov'ner shuts us down tomorrow. How are things going up in the Northwoods? Same craziness as the big city?

Dave,
The TP is in the cleaning section. We had about 4 pallets of it in the overhead and brought it down when we heard of the "crisis"! So far the farthest north it's come is Wausau but that's getting close. The Depot has been busy with customers buying project supplies that they are finally finding time to do. Open store hours are reduced so we can take extra cleaning steps. . |

For you Floridians I heard through the rumor mill that Thursday possibly Friday depending on where your at we are going to be required to stay home. Got this from a neighbor who has got the infected count correct before the county or state releases it ....

-Miami area I believe already is/or will be lock down Friday.
-Hillsborough county can’t make their mind up whether they’re going lockdown Friday. They’re changing they’re minds like my wife changing outfits before we do family pictures. -Orange county starts 11pm Thursday for a full lockdown. Unfortunately I’m 112’ inside Orange County. Those are all I’m aware of presently. Our Governor Ron DeSantis has really gained my support amongst all this. Before I felt like he was flying u dear the radar and just serving his term. But past two weeks he’s decisions I felt were the best and most lucid by thinking a lockdown was counterproductive. I fled to Homosassa in Citrus County last week thinking if I was gonna be on lockdown I’d rather be at my camper with my Skiff behind me on the water. Citrus County might go full lockdown but at this point I suspect they’ll only do as governor says. |

Miami is rumored to shutdown Thursday, us on Friday. They are the ones, as usual causing the problems. Last week they were coming down and buying up supplies. Now that the ramps hotels and parks are closed things are available for us. The governor is impressive. Lot better than our Illinois buffoon who is more interested in pointing fingers.

Yea bars were closed then but depending on their licence some that had food were open at half capacity. Then during the week they said by Sunday close all hotels. If you had a long term rental you could stay but when it expires,say at the end of the month it could not be renewed. Now since Sunday anything that's open is carry out. So far only 3 cases we'll see in a few what the update is. How's it going by you?

Gary, sounds like Orlando had same measures as you but been that way for over a week now. The big hotels completely closed including the one at the airport. Best decision I made was to come to the forgotten coast. Orlando was chaotic and no groceries or supplies. Homosassa area things are limited but definitely available. I finished my last job up Saturday and turned down the only job I had lined up at the same time. I figure I’ll be here until a reason calls me back to Orlando, if it’s a year from now that’s fine.
