And the dominoes keep falling. The NHL has now suspended all activities.

I'm hoarding ammo. Does that count?

I kinda wish I'd hoarded. I might have a week's worth left. :unsure

I have about 15k rounds of .223 now. Is that enough? Me thinks not.
You’re hoping for the mass hysteria at the beginning of Obama’s presidency that drove .223 up to around a dollar a round, aren’t you?

Mebbe. :unsure

In all seriousness, that's when I accumulated about half that 15k.

From what I've seen the transmission and mortality rates are much higher and what they're doing now is basically trying to stem the tide to take pressure off the healthcare infrastructure, which is the main reason for the panic on a macro-level as far as I can tell.

The panic and hysteria on a micro-level is seemingly a combination of social media and people generally being panic monkeys.

Keep in mind that the world has had decades to tease out responses to the flu and if the flu as we know it was something brand new that popped on the stage tomorrow we'd probably be seeing something similar.

Great job, Katie Porter.

Healthcare in this country is a joke. It's an absolute joke.

Good on her for ensuring that every American is eligible to receive treatment for this regardless of their social or economic status.
