It should have been this way for awhile. I also don't know why, along with all these rules being passed down, that there weren't also rules enforced about having X number of people in the store, etc.. I haven't been shopping for a few days so maybe it's better, but I thought it was bonkers to have a bunch of people jammed in a store passing stuff to each other while they were loading up their carts too much.
If you (or anyone you know) can reliably call market bottoms, please let me know. I’d like to hire you to my team.
I had friends fly back from Costa Rica yesterday. Not one single coronavirus question was asked of them. Not one
Agree, this why the ignore feature exists. The guy will post his smiles, but nobody will see them. He will be an audience of one. That’s how to send him a message: everyone ignore him.
Mostly just responding that it appears to me shutting down everything except non-essentials makes sense. That is going to really hurt people economically but so will overwhelming hospitals, deaths, etc. At some point, people aren't going to conduct any business anyway if the healthcare system collapses and everyone is scared of getting sick.
Good point. That’s what the empties are for?Hope everyone brings a bucket in case they need a restroom.
IMHO, there are still a lot of stockholders holding on to the "it's like the flu", the "death count is low", and the "we should just let it run and let a significant portion of the older population die" mindsets. In fact, I think the vast majority of people who are holding on to those mindsets do so because of their portfolios. And those mindsets dominated the New York City area, causing leadership there to act to slow.
@Terminalxylem Company converted to producing 10,000 masks a day for sale to hospitals.https://www.news-journalonline.com/business/20200320/coronavirus-crisis-spurs-ormond-firm-to-make-face-masks-as-shortage-grows
At the Sams where my daughter works, it has gone to one of everything max. She said people are just nasty and mean and she goes home crying. There is no reason why they haven’t gone to a self-scan of everything and taken cashiers out of the mix. Receipt checks at the door like they do now will catch the dishonest people.
I agree with this wholeheartedly...the way the market was/is priced is based on a world that no longer exists. Don’t know what type of world that exists on the other side of this, but it will be very different. The journey for the world and humanity has just begun and I suspect we’ll be on it for a good while. I’d just assume sit on the sidelines financially.
Are these really effective? It seems they hardly look in the cart. I could put 10 extra things in there and they wouldn't know it. FWIW, I don't do this, but I feel I could easily get away with it if I were a dishonest person.
We are running out of masks as well. Also told to reuse our mask for the entire day unless you are right at the surgical field. Also running out of disinfectant wipes for the tables etc after surgery. They have rounded up all the wipes in the operating room and are going to be using them to wipe down the papr hoods to reuse. We’ve gone back to using basically soap and water to wipe things down.
Thankfully I’m not having to interact with the healthcare professionals that are undoubtedly the heroes of this battle, but I do think these grocery/supply store and chain employees are unsung heroes in their own right. They have to battle the panic of others in real time all while battling the attempt to curtail virus spread through enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols AND worrying about their own family and self.
Already happening here in Maine. Nurse at works husband is doing 14 on 14 off. Not allowed to leave. All the guys are living together. He can’t go home on his 14 off cause she’s considered high risk in the healthcare field.
That’s why the cdc guidelines now state you need two negative tests 24 hours apart.
Update. Even though she is quarantined her boyfriend is still going to work. In a ####### call center.CR69 said:Sister in law has a co-worker test positive. Our are unfortunately hasn’t really accepted that this is happening but I believe this is our first confirmed case of community spread so I imagine that will change quickly. We haven’t seen her in over a month so we’re good but she has been around my in-laws and my wife’s grandparents. We haven’t seen them in about the same time but they all have health problems
I also noticed people aren't keeping distance. I went to Sam's where a huge cluster formed at the door where the employee was checking receipts. I told the manager it isn't really a good idea.Just got back from my normal Saturday morning grocery run
Crowd was normal for sat morning
Only thing I noticed very low was OJ, bread and some canned goods
Only thing I saw a limit posted on was cases of water...limit 2
Only heard one person cough and pretty much ran away with my cart before I even realized what I was doing.

Me to my parents: sorry, not bringing the kiddo over for a while. You guys are in the high-risk category and I’m not willing to be the cause of anything bad
This is interesting to me that a hospital would send this out. Maybe they have a different source, but this data matches up with the study out of china, kind of.
No ... he’s using the “likes” function to drop smilies. Ignore function doesn’t catch those.
