It's hard sometimes not to interject in threads the circumstances surrounding our experiences with Covid-19. This is the actual name of the virus, so I prefer to use that. So I thought perhaps a thread of its own might be a good idea. I felt a little guilty posting my supermarket photo in the Darling Amp thread (only a little ).
I'll repost here. If memory serves, in one episode of M*A*S*H I think it was Hawkeye Pierce who said (while clutching toilet paper during a bugout) "When fear is near I want you here".
This is at our local Superstore, which for reference is like a massive Albertsons or Safeway, except not as nice and there's no booze. My second stop at Walmart had the same result. A staffer at Walmart confided "I heard Save-On-Foods got a delivery at 8 this morning". Off I went and scored the last 24 pack in the store there. Tales of Costco going thru skids of the stuff are making the rounds.
I think we're learning from the experiences overseas, and particularly Washington State. My wife and daughter have cancelled their weekend trip to Banff, which is as close to an international destination as we have here. That was something I encouraged. Besides, its bloody cold this weekend so outdoor activities would be limited. On a national level, our Prime Minister's wife tested positive for the virus, so federal funds won't be far behind.
I liken the onset of Covid-19 to a tsunami - there's footage out there (Phillipines ? Japan ?) which shows this low, kind of unimpressive wave approaching which hits the beach and just keeps coming and coming, taking cars and structures with it. It doesn't look much to start with, but the damage can end up being severe.
So there you go Havenites. Here's the place for discussing the event that is going to affect us all in one way or another.
