2020 CoronaVirus Outbreak - That began in Wuhan, China and is spreading

[GravitySucks]

I am still bewildered by the run on toilet paper during this crisis. 

I drove to town this morning to shop at a small country store here in the sticks to grab a few things that I need for when I head back home where my cupboard is bare. 

I was surprised to find paper towels.  They had cheap ones for 2 packs for $10.  I opted for a multipack of the Bounty quicker picker uppers. I proceeded to browse like a turkey vulture looking over the carcas of what was once a fairly small, but well stocked store.

As I backtracked they had place about 10 packages of TOILET PAPER on the shelves!!!!!   Now I use about 3 sheets per squat so the 3 rolls I have back home will probably last until Christmas if I was by myself but I am currently staying with my girlfriend so I don’t even know if the 3 rolls in my bathroom still exist.  The price was the same as the cheap paper towels. 2 for $10. So of course I want the deal so I grab 2 packs and scurry along to weave around the few other shoppers. Before I reached the vegetable aisle I was intercepted by a stock boy that informed me I could only buy 1.  I explained the advertisement that stated they were 2 for $10.  I told him he could have one back if they took down the sign.  The stock boy runs up front and discusses it with the powers that be.  He returned to tell me they would honor the sale price but I could only have one.  Since I really didn’t need 24 rolls of toilet paper, I let him have one of the packs and went to check out. 

Well to my surprise, Vanessa, the more than slightly overweight disgruntled checker outer has some type of problem with the customer before me. Not sure what is was about because I was experiencing bliss on the discovery of TOILET PAPER and was wondering if I should gift wrap it for the aforementioned girlfriend.

As she began ringing up my items she said “You need to pick one.”  I was baffled.  No clue what she was talking about.  “You can only purchase one paper product.”  In no mood for an altercation that would wind me up being questioned by one of her cousins or uncles in the county jail, of course I picked the TOILET PAPER.  But only because I still have 6 rolls of Bounty picker uppers in my camp in my woods that I can take home.  I did offer my bewilderment as to understanding limited purchases of a single type of item but utter disbelief that I couldn’t buy a package of TOILET PAPER and a package of Bounty quicker picker uppers in the Great State of TEXAS!!!

Unbelievable.  And this is in a county that has no reported cases of the Kung Flu. Not only that but none of the counties that border it have a reported case.  Did you know there are 254 counties in Texas?  Big state. We used to be a Republic. I loaded the items into my truck and resisted the urge to return to the store to buy a package of Bounty quicker picker uppers in the 10 items or less aisle.

Anyways. Crazy times.

For comic relief I watched CNN just now because they're fake news is so funny. They showed empty Central Park and told us to be concerned that there's no sunbathers. The temperature in NYC right now is 6C or 43F. CNN delivers the laughs!

At the height of the panic, at least then, of 10 or so days back, my local Trader Joe's was also limiting one paper item per purchase.   It seems to make no sense.  But I'm figuring that after the shit paper is depleted, the facial tissues would deplete as an alternative to butt wipe.  Paper towels as an absolute last resort. At least, that's how I'm figuring it.  Quien sabes?

I thought NYC had erected an emergency hospital in Central park?  No video of that?

Don't laugh, I've been to places where people carry small clay water jugs with their left hand and touch everything else only with their right
