Coronavirus, comprehensive and updates discussion

Well, time to put some faith in this President and to start saying a few extra prayers for this country and its citizens.

Ditto.

The rationale behind that is that IF their city/county is hit hard with coronoa, having stocks of toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, etc., on hand will prevent them from having to go out when the virus is more widespread and putting them more at risk. It will enable them to isolate themselves and their families if necessary. 

We now have 3 cases in my county -- toilet paper, hand sanitizer, hand soap, bleach, alcohol, cold medicine, aspirin, ramen (sp?) noodles, soups, water, etc., are scarce.  I've never seen shelves so bare, even during hurricane season.

I know that, but at our local Kroger the TP was completely out, but there was plenty of canned food, soups, frozen foods and pretty much everything else.

I just think the focus on toilet paper is bizarre!

[musiclady]

Oh, but you can bet your sweet bippy that the DEMS will find a way to convey this idea through the MSM, late night shows, etc.

Probably will.....  the media has gone from slanted to despicable.

So why can't a single crazy person doing warp 9+ in a Starship take out an entire planet by ramming it? That amount of mass going that speed has to be a planet killer. So inventing anything that can go warp speed is death to that civilization... Be it a navigation error or on purpose it will be destroyed...

Because hitting atmosphere at warp 9 would likely turn the ship into plasma.
Big scorch mark, relatively small crater.

Kinda like hitting water doing 60MPH, it just isn't soft any more.

The atmosphere and planet would be essentially one. The energy has to go somewhere. Bright flash, not much left other than an expanding plasma cloud..

I think we need to experiment with that.

If you are talking warp drive-manipulating space/time-then a starship going at any warp and hitting a planet would completely annihilate everything. Because ya'll didn't take into account that the antimatter engine would lose containment and boom, everyone dies.

Now if you are talking about hyperdrive then you are in a different "reality" and could fly "through" anything because that thing doesn't exist where you are.

In fact you can not even buy TP at Amazon right now.  My wife suggested a bidet for one our bathrooms a few years ago.  Wish I had listened.

There's also FTL Drives that "jump" from place to place so they aren't anywhere while jumping. Or something like that... So they're not planet killers like warp drive.

Ban warp drive. Do it for the planets.

[bigheadfred]

Get one of these things.



Or drill a hole through your bathroom wall and run a garden hose in.

We've had em in our house for years. TMI

A jump drive is more like teleportation. As in quantum mechanics. Entanglement. Locality. Nonlocality. Bell's Theorem, etc.

Somehow you have to convince yourself you are at point B and no longer at point A.

If this doesn't explain anything you are in good company. Because NO ONE understands quantum mechanics/physics.

I asked one of the Walmart employees if they were going to restock the TP and he said... "We've been restocking.  As soon as a truck comes in we stock the shelves and then it's all gone.".   Time for the manager to put limits on certain items, apparently.   It ain't rocket science.

So I just came home, placed an online order for TP and few other items and will pick it up on Monday.  Problem solved.

Check Ebay and find out who is hording all the toilet paper.

A$$hole$, of course!

Hand sanitizer is scarce.  Alcohol is scarce.  The next best thing is Vodka!

May I suggest

FWIW, I have the flu. My wife, daughter, and grandson are recovering. My son is just coming down with it.

I took the wife to the doc last Saturday morning. She told him I was sick, too. He doubled up on the meds, which he stocks. 2 Z-packs and doubled up on the amoxicillin.

I gave my share of the meds to my daughter.

Total cost of the doc visit and meds was $44.00

[Hoodat]

May I suggest

Only 30 ml per shot?  A real shot should be 45 ml (1½ oz).  These guys are wimps.

MUST be IV and not IM...

Personally I hope that Trump gets tested. Also, poltics aside, I hope that Biden and Sanders don't get it.

IF This is true, horrible... and it's similar to Iran. People here know for the most part, we need to clamp down on our economic relationship with China but elsewhere it's different.

Many Italians in Northern Italy sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese from Wuhan/Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct Wuhan flights. Result: Northern Italy is Europe’s hotspot for Wuhan Coronavirus
