Prudence or Panic?

Oh yes, you mean those folks that were gonna re-sell at the big profit? I got a big chuckle when some of those folks were trying to return baskets full of TP to Cosco and they wouldn't accept it. :>) There's a moral to that story.

Keep it. For sure that is one item that will eventually get used up.

As long as the roof of the shed where the excess TP is stored doesn't spring a leak!

 

[bikerbillone]

Good one, MtnSpyder, and of course, if the store does not take the TP back then the only course of action is for the hoarder is to hoard the TP. End of my story.

Don't you all just love Karma? :roflblack: :roflblack:

There is a person in MO that tried to snarf up all the hand sanitizer he could get his hands on. He thought he was going to get $70 per bottle.

He was issued a cease and desist order and is now stuck with it.

I think he gave away a bunch to the Fire Fighters and the what was left got seized by the Government.

If true then :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: ......... Personally I think what was worse was how all the Mainstream media ( not Fox news ) was trashing the " My Pillow " guy, for His religious comments when He was at a recent White House public briefing ( for being thanked for His Donation of MASKS ).... I am aware of His life story as a recovering DRUG Addict, who proclaims religion saved His life ....... just my prospective on that ...... stay safe .... Mike hyea:

Not gonna comment on mr pillow guy as it is a waste of time.:barf: not fit for off topic Spyderlovers either. Jmo

I am pretty sure he was forced to give away or the feds were going to confiscate it all.

According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System, total U.S. deaths for the month of March 2020 are 15% LESS than the average of the past 4 years.

We can speculate as to why. But those are the hard numbers. 34,000 fewer deaths in the month of March than the 4 year average.

Boise EMTs are reporting as many ambulance runs in a day as they used to do per shift. Police are reporting fewer auto accidents. The stay at home order is having some interesting effects aside from slowing the Covid-19 virus spread.

I just saw a report on the R0 communicability factor being much higher than previously reported. IT was first estimated around the mid 2's, not their claiming it's in the mid 5 range. Which may mean it is far more widespread, and therefore less lethal than projected. Pure speculation of course. But I still have to avoid it like the plague :yikes:because of health issues.

I agree. But when I went to the CDC site (copy/paste DC’s National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System), it shows influenza and pneumonia only. I'm not quite sure what BajaRon was getting at, and don't want to assume. I do have an assumption though, but don't want to say.

My last quote was for all causes. Not just illnesses. If that is what you are referring to.

Can you link me to it? I can only get to what I mentioned above.

I am having trouble finding the exact report that I took my posted information from. There are probably thousands of links on Google pertaining to the subject. But this one is very close. I hope it is good enough. If you discover that the information is not correct. Let me know and I will amend my post. Unfortunately, it seems that these days, everyone has an agenda, an ax to grind, and they don't mind stretching the truth, or even fabricating it, to achieve their goals. That is not where I want to be.

I don't know if the figures are accurate or not, but it is not hard to understand how that could be correct. Almost any deaths now of a person with the virus are attributed to the virus. If they have the virus and died of a heart attack, it was the virus. With that in mind, all the deaths attributed to other factors in previous years are not any more numerous, but are now being attributed to the virus. Most of the population is staying home. Automobile accidents, teen driving accidents, many other causes of death in previous years would naturally be down for this year. People are not out there, drinking and driving, speeding, or engaging in other risky behaviors. They are staying home.

Almost every toe tag says covid-19 no matter what the cause if death. Sad!!

Funny you should mention this. Apparently the number of general flu related deaths are down by quite a bit this year. Again, there are a number of variables that might contribute to the lower numbers. But the accusation is that people passing away from the regular flu are being counted as Corona Virus victims. Not that this is necessarily due to any attempt to purposefully skew the numbers. But attributed it to lazy, inaccurate reporting.

I wonder if we will ever know what actually is happening.
