Funny because it's true.

 

If this were much worse they would need that ammo I am afraid. Like I said before, people are getting into fights over toilet paper in stores already for something with a 1-3% mortality rate. If that rate jumped to 25-50% people would be raiding other peoples homes for supplies right now. While some totally right off the possibility of having to protect themselves against those things, my opinion is that people are stupid and selfish and given enough fear it would come to that in days ... and we are seeing a tiny taste of that now. I am not raiding ammo stores, but I also am glad I have some just in case :P

It will not come to that under the current thing I am pretty certain, but if this thing mutated and people got the idea it would become much more dangerous, the crazies would be crazier and the rest of us would be looking to hole up and protect ourselves. Keep in mind that home invasion robberies are becoming more common even in GOOD times. People are nuts to say the least.

 

It is the rare pathogen that produces a mortality rate of 25-50% because at those rates, the pathogen quickly runs out of available hosts.

 

We have a local restaurant that is offering two rolls of TP with a takeout meal.

Not a real good advertisement of what their food will do to you!

 

^^^ Mexican?

 

Rick's been grocery shopping twice since this began, no TP in the store, but we're still OK..

Anyway, while he was gone, the phone rang. Rick was on the other end of the line asking me if I knew where the police station was in the town in which the grocery store is located. He told me he had an "altercation" in the grocery store and needed to be bailed out. Well, my heart just sank. One thought was "I'm not picking you up until I shower and put on makeup!" I was a mess, I had been cleaning. I think I asked him " Are you f___ kidding me?" Of course he started laughing......Nice guy.

BTW,my first thought was that he must have done something really stupid while driving the S since he took the snow tires off a while ago, but I forgot that he had taken my Jeep to the store.

 

Funny guy. He's lucky you didn't take a frying pan to his noggin when he got home.

Oh, wait. We don't do that sort of thing any more, do we. Probably for the best.

 

I was catching up on local goings on at the post office yesterday and evidently we have had quite a few battles at our local general store over t.p.The owner of the store is limiting how much you can buy and one couple still tried to buy every roll. The manager of the store told him he couldn't buy every single roll and the guy started yelling I'm a second homeowner here I support your economy you are just limiting me because I'm from New York, then someone else in the store who was local got into the mix. The locals versus second homeowner issue seems to be escalating. Then my friend told me the local gun store sold ALL their ammunition. Great.

 

Just ordered a couple dozen rolls from Amazon. Not a brand I am familiar with but advertised as "silky soft" and strong, and has good reviews. I mean, why not? If we don't use it in the coming month or two I will donate it to a local NGO.
