I suspected this would be the case last night. Trump's speech + the NBA player + Tom Hanks brought home the reality to a lot of people who were too busy watching that stupid Costumed Singer show to pay attention to what's happening in the world.

Much of conventional wisdom about the 1918 flu probably isn't true. It turns out that the flu itself wasn't the only killer. Bayer was pushing aspirin as an effective treatment to doctors and since they had no other options, they gladly treated it with aspirin. Except, the dosage was about a half a handful every 3 hours. It was massively too much and led to many victims succumbing to aspirin toxicity who might otherwise have survived. There's no telling how many deaths resulted, but the symptoms written about to describe the final stages of flu are actually classic aspirin toxicity symptoms. BTW, the aspirin manufacturers (not just Bayer) got rich and it helped establish aspirin as a "go to" medicine in the 20th century for all manner of aches and pains. There have been a few articles about this in recent years. Here's one of them:

Not sure if srs but what do you mean “game over?”. Almost all viruses mutate naturally due to the nature of, well, viruses. It’s the lifespan. It doesn’t mean the virus will become deadlier.

Indeed, could also become weaker. Viruses are weird as fck.

But imagine if these measures are in place every year now, lol would still be game over.

The idea of stocking up on rice/pasta/canned food/dry food/freezer meals etc is so gross to me.
So if your in a quarantined area and/or become sick yourself. How long will your fresh fruit, veg, eggs, bread, etc. be good? Its pretty unlikely you can buy more then a 2 weeks supply at a time. You wake up tomorrow and there are 20+ confirmed cases in your immediate area and its been placed on lock down. Are you good to go for the next month or so?



Its not about what you enjoy eating. Its about the reality of sitting put for an extended period of time and being able to eat something/sustain yourself.


To be fair as a single female you could probably get 30 days worth of stuff for under $100.00. Even if you buy all that stuff and this all passes and you want to get rid of it. You can donate it to a charity for poor people/local kitchen/diner that feeds the homeless or something like that.

Plus states are calling for State of Emergency. I think that's what triggered this craziness here. My son works at a grocery store and said Tues night everything was totally normal.

Thankfully the store had bags of Broccoli Normandy. Not my fave but better than no veggies. Also got a huge pork loin and a big thing of ground beef. Last weekend I was preparing for my trip and cooked a weeks worth of chicken to freeze, so I should be good to go for at least 2 weeks on meat when it shouldn't be so crazy.

I take aspirin daily so this piqued my interest. Loled at the amount people were taking; 8 - 31 grams per day is just insane.

As someone living and working here...I'd say cancel those travel plans. You have a big mix here between people YOLO'ing sick on public transport and poors buying out toilet paper and soap, and then companies also telling their staff to work from home (but staff going out for dinner anyway).

It'll get a lot worse here before it gets better.

A week ago, you would’ve had an excellent point. I made it myself many times.

But the way this has spread And the panic that it seems to have caused worldwide is far different from those other instances. Things are happening that did not happen with those other cases.
