DDemuth Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Folks, There is a rationale for these actions, whether you may agree or not. Google "flatten the curve". Briefly, by buying time preventing the expansion of this illness, one increases the chances that the healthcare system will not become overburdened with patients needing critical care. The model acknowledges that inconvenience and lifestyle disruptions will occur, but the alternative could be much worse. That said, does anybody know where I can score some TP???

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 I guess for once in our lives, Dan and I actually got ahead of the toilet paper stampede. We went to BJ's just before I had my knee surgery and stocked up on all things paper. We actually got Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper AND beer AND water. Those items have long since been picked clean so I'm thrilled that we went early. #theupsidetohavingkneesurgery. Mrs. RoyalMoyal, SpeedNoodles, Shari3 and 4 others 7 Quote

Just left today, got some TP from BJ's due to the fact that I live in a house with four women and there are only two rolls of TP left! Needless to say they have restrictions and you are only able to purchase 2 packs per person and I was grateful just to get one. Costco was sold completely out of TP, wipes, disinfectant, water, and paper towels! I was there not long after they opened and got in and out without any issues, I had a friend that went several hours after I did and he stated that they actually had a line going halfway around BJ's in order to pick up TP! This whole thing is absolutely crazy! We have a few cases of the virus here in VA but it is not that serious as of yet (knock on wood). Quote

Vancity Cruiser Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 The government of Canada saw this thread and said 'hold my beer'. They have banned all cruise ships until July. This means no Alaskan cruises as even round trip out of Seattle would require a foreign port of call per maritime law. Quote
