Too much plastic on the planet already. Mine are bio-degradable and reusable.  Great for wrapping those fish guts or dead skwirrels in before mailing. ;)

Besides, I am already marketing one, you were scooped yday.

My wife sent me these photos from Target yesterday.

Walmart and ALDI was devoid of Tylenol and Advil, too. WTH would ya run out and buy that???!?!  Reminds me of when Hostess went down the tubes some years back, and everyone ran out and bought Twinkies, cupcakes, the fruit pies, etc. Saw them on E-bay for hundreds of dollars!!!  :bonk:  :rotflmao:

So he was sick for 2 weeks before he went to a Dr.  Imagine all of the people he has spread that too already.  We have lost the battle here in safe MN.  Get out of the metro area.  That must be close to RH.

All infected people should immediately go to Rochester.  Lots of caring people there that would take you in.

You real funny guy!!!  :taz: Don't you have a well you have to drill or something?! Head north! Lotsa ice and cold air there that kills the virus! A few places might even have real tap water up there to spray! You could maybe get a plate of smomed ribs or a smoothie too! :rotflmao:

I'm not worried about it.  Never been on a cruise and never will.  I don't like it when your on a big ship with lot's of people.  I don't like to fly also.  I don't even have a passport.  It's a virus and it will pass like all the other one's.  The next time it show's up they will have a shot ready for it and med's to get rid of it.  I worry more about getting the flu but there is no panic about that.  Thousands die each year from the flu.  Death rate for this is very low.  Wash my hands and live my life.  good luck.

If people spent a lot more time out in the fresh air, I think that would make a big difference. I hate crowds and such too, RH. Never been to Mall of America, and never will be. Although I love flying, hate places like airports that are crowded with people standing in line. State Fair is insane. That's why I even do my grocery shopping on early weekday mornings, or later at nite.

EBay bans sales of masks and hand sanitizer in response to coronavirus price gouging



EBay, trying to crack down on price gougers taking advantage of coronavirus fears, has banned the sales of face masks and hand sanitizer on its site.

The online marketplace told sellers Thursday that it's rejecting listings for N95 and N100 masks, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes and that it is working to remove listings with inflated prices.

It's also removing listings whose titles or descriptions misuse the terms "coronavirus," "COVID-19" or "2019nCoV."

"EBay is taking significant measures to block or quickly remove items on our marketplace that make false health claims," spokesperson Ashley Settle said in a statement. "We are making every effort to ensure that anyone who sells on our platform follows local laws and EBay policies."

The move came the day after California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency - a declaration that helps the state prepare for the spread of the coronavirus and includes restrictions on raising prices of consumer goods.

"Californians shouldn't have to worry about being cheated while dealing with the effects of coronavirus," state Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said in a consumer alert. "Our state's price gouging law protects people impacted by an emergency from illegal price gouging on medical supplies, food, gas, and other essential supplies."

Before EBay's announcement, a 20-pack of Gerson 1730 face masks was available for as much as $148, while a pack of five 2.5-ounce Germ-X hand sanitizer bottles cost $500, CNBC reported. (By comparison, two 30-ounce bottles of Germ-X were offered online by Walmart for less than $8 on Friday.) The EBay listings have since been removed.

Other companies with online marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart have also struggled to manage price gouging from third-party sellers as the coronavirus spreads and panic swells.

Newsom called out Amazon in a tweet Tuesday.

"Seriously, @amazon? These prices are absurd," he wrote, attaching a screenshot of a small bottle of Purell hand sanitizer priced at $79.80 and a 24-pack of Purell at $400 offered by third parties on the site.

Amazon said price gouging is a clear violation of its policies, and noted that it is illegal in some areas - including California. A company representative said it had recently blocked or removed tens of thousands of coronavirus-related listings with inflated prices.

"We are disappointed that bad actors are attempting to artificially raise prices on basic need products during a global health crisis," the Amazon representative said.

Newsom gave Amazon credit for swiftly tackling the issue in a news conference Wednesday.

Online sellers have generally struggled to regulate listings by third-party vendors. A bipartisan group of House lawmakers urged Amazon and EBay executives to crack down on third-party vendors selling fake, stolen or unsafe goods more broadly, and on Monday, members of the House Judiciary Committee introduced a bipartisan bill that increases liability exposure for companies that risk consumers' health or safety.

I hope the scumbags end up with cases of hand sanitizer and have to give it away for Christmas presents for 20 years since noone would buy it at those prices.

guess this corona stuff has hit closer to home then i thought. :doofus: :doah: i'm supposed to go to Hagar City tomorrow. just got off the phone with the plant manager and he said i wasnt allowed in the plant. i though WTF now????? just the way he said it. this particular meeting is a rather important one as they want to go from the current 3 8 hour shifts, to 2 10 hour shifts.

anyway, he said because i go to several faculities, and the fact that there are 2 cases of the corona in prescott there not allowing any corporate travel, outside venders in the plant.

so i guess its a conference call!!!!!!!!!!!!
