I went to the store to pick up some stuff. A lady was wearing a mask and pushing keys on they debit card reader with a alcohol wipe. She then tells me to back up when I am literally 6 and a half feat away from her standing on the little circle I am suppose too. So me being a Smart Ass Sailor told her paranoid ass I am stand on the blue circle. Idiot. These are the people who did all the panic buying these morons.

How many perishables do you expect to be dumped in the bin from the panic buying?

A Shit Ton. Because some people literally have no common sense. Oh they have a Masters Degree in a field. But those same people run around like chickens with their heads cut off getting tons of shit they can't eat our will go bad. While the guy who never went to college an works as a plumber gets the canned beans and rice. This Corona mess is putting a spotlight on the people in society who really smart and really dumb.

A Masters Degree in feminism or something

Real intelligence is in the capacity for self awareness and critical thinking

What a goddamned waste. It ticks me off more than normal.

What's the possibility of a hunger crisis like Italy?

@Scottty how bad is it when this happens? A prelude to a bigger unrest and then worst case of civil war?

Likely just look at how Italian society is breaking down in front of our eyes.
Very humbling and shocking.

A good overview on why modeling COVID-19 is hard, why the models are so variable, and why a lot of the reporting going on should be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Some good news.

So, aside from the dumb-ass who didn't do what they were told, they've found an effective treatment? Great news!

Holy Fuck... 192,00 Masks!!!

Just FYI... the CNN article just states he hoarded pallets worth of medical supplies to price gouge health care workers desperate to buy them.

There's nothing about the Israeli government or Mossad or somesuch diverting and hoarding supplies that the Trump Administration shipped to New York State.

Why would there be a connection? Some sort of operation by a friendly government's intelligence service to pointlessly complicate American response to the virus makes zero sense.

In Nigeria? That country is already in a smouldering civil war between it's Islamic north and Christian south. Boko Haram are bad news. But I'm no expert on the matter.

Here in South Africa, a long way off from Nigeria, we've had some reports of heavy-handed actions by police, but breaking the curfew without good reason would get you a hefty fine, not a bullet.
