Mayo found 0 cases in first batch from their new testing lab...  90 tests, no positives.   So good news.

And Dotch, did you see the news item about the two brothers in Tennessee that drove around hitting the stores in all the little towns and buying up thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer that they were then selling on Amazon?   Then Amazon cracked down and ebay cracked down so they are sitting there with like 17000 bottles and no way to sell them.

Saw that. Hope they're stuck with it. Or wind up donating it to someplace that really needs it. Terds! :confused:

I think folks need to get out in the open air and take some walks, drives, etc thru woods, trails, whatever. Clears the head, and it's virus free. My neighbor who moved up to a condo in Mpls, , was telling me how depressed he is, really bad. But, said he hasn't been out of his little condo in 2 weeks becuz of the Corona thing, not supposed too....been holed up watching back to back Netflix movies and eating TV dinners. Told him THAT's why he's depressed, ya gotta get out! "no, we're supposed to avoid all contact"....THAT's why he's so depressed!
Use common sense, and get outside and enjoy! What's gonna happen is gonna happen!

Shopping never fails to put me in a foul mood.
Since the warden is laid up I had to buy some things today. First stop was Kwik Trip. Gassed up the Impala for tomorrow, got some milk, eggs, bread and butter there, so far so good.
Then came the dreaded grocery store where I saw the hoarders in person for the first time. As I was walking to the entrance I was greeted by a thirty something year old specimen . She was beaming and hollered at me "They got some toilet paper!" Her cart was half full of it
I smiled, secretly wishing I had a soldering iron to stick up her arse. Lots of shelves were bare but I got what I needed and headed home. My faith in humanity has reached an all time low.

As you know my Mom and Dad moved into a real nice adult living thing.  They are in lockdown.  Not to leave the facility or have anyone come in.  It is connected to an assisted care facility so Mom likes to walk over there and talk to people who are under more care and talk to them.  So Evelyn who is a belligerent person was walking through the main area with gloves on so they asked why she had gloves on.  She said they can't tell me what to do so I just went to the grocery store.  NOW they closed off the assisted care facility so there is no access to it in case she brought a virus in.  Bummed my Mom out and they are all mad at Evelyn now.  One dumbass wrecks it for all!!!

That sux Barry. Common sense, decency and courtesy have suddenly gone out the window. I really don't even want to go to the grocery store anymore afters some of the foolishness I've seen and heard about.   :sad:

Yup, this all sucks...
My parents sold their house here and went to Arizona for the winter. They will be coming back some time in April, and we will be moving them into senior apartments. They sold their trailer in Arizona, so this will be the last winter for them to travel there. I hope the timing works out well for them, but I get to do all the work of moving their crap around.  :banghead:

I popped in to see Mom using all precautions. Limited it to a 15 mn visit, with no contact. Felt bad about that... but she understand. Her worry was "You take care of YOURSELF, don't worry about me" ...That got me all choked up.   :undecided:

Had to stop in Walfart for some med supplies....and same thing there. People hauling out multiple cases of stuff. No TP, paper towels.....same as before. Not one pizza. Empty boxes in cooler. Decimated canned goods aisle. They bring it on themselves.
Someone needs to boot them as a store square in the azz. They're just making it worse for people that really need stuff. MY buddy in the cities really chewed me out for going out! "You are NOT to be in public gatherings! "You're gonna make it worse and spread it to everyone!" He's holed up for the last 2 weeks watching streaming TV 24/7 and eating microwave dinners. I told him he's gonna die a psychotic emaciated wreck if he don't get outside and get some fresh air, real food, and see people. You just can't hole up like that!
Don't think we'll be talking anytime soon... :rolleyes:

I just don't understand why these stores don't put LIMITS on stuff! Everyone needs it, for chrissakes, we're all the same, and you know it's gonna sell anyway! That's the stuff that leads to the "Black market" effect and price increase hoarding! As Glenn would say,   :tut:  !!
