    You telling me couldn't find anything to replenish the bathroom with. Calling an office supplier tomorrow. Full disclosure, went through free trials for Hulu and Amazon Prime along with the Netflix and slept through most of them, but I miss my sports fix. Can't tell when Sunday rolls around.

    Don't need to replenish the bathroom yet but when I do the 7.00am queue will solve the problem, us oldies are allowed to get in ahead of everyone, now where did I leave that alarm clock?

    If they have restocked.

    They restock overnight but by 8.30 all that has gone, I'll have to brave the early morn when the eggs run out, but no problem I'm well stocked at the moment. The logistics of this is a nightmare, double and trebble the demand across the entire nation. There are large numbers of older people in these country towns

    Went to the 24/7 Walmart the other day and many shelves were being restocked but the toilet paper dudes were not one of them. CHEEEZ!

    trouble is you are looking for cheap toilet paper . Go find a health food store that sells recycled paper products for double the price that you pay at Walmart . They have supply .

    No, That isn't it, nothing is cheap anymore, no supermarket specials, if anything prices have increased my regular shop cost more last week but even health food shops are low on supply, logistics is a bltch

    Yup, the real problem is suppliers can't meet demand, and stuff waiting on stuff from China may not be a good strategy for sure.

    Yes This will prove that sourcing from China is not a good idea, should be an uptick on locally made

    You are both correct on that one. One good thing that can come out of this episode is a refusal to depend on "Made in China" products.

    Patriots owner Robert Kraft just sent his private jet to China to bring back N95 masks. Thank God for rich guys with private jets!

    Maybe he can drop a box off at the USS Roosevelt docked in Guam while he's at it. They need them.

    apparently, it has become mandatory in some parts of the world to load a tracking app on your phone, what did I tell you at the beginning of this OP, before long all business will be done using the phone and not long after that the mark of the beast

    That's always been true in some countries and cultures Clete, and often the population is the last to know these things have occurred. Even the so called democracies fail to send out a bulletin that they're seeking such records from the companies that you have given permission to keep them, as an agreement for service, pretty standard stuff really, so it's not like the mark of the beast hasn't always been present, even though wholly unnoticed or ignored.

    oh the beast has always been present just now and then he shows his face

    Early March the TR in the middle of the outbreak had shore leave in Vietnam. That is where the sailors on the ship got infected . It spread like wildfire through the ship until now over 200 sailors were infected . Then the bozo commander panicked ;went around chain of command and published a letter he had sent to Navy leadership and ended up telling the world about the readiness of the flag ship on the fleet that is deployed in a critical part of the word . The commander was correctly relieved of command . He's lucky he doesn't face court martial . The crew gave him a heroes send off yesterday .

    Yeah, better if nobody but the brass knew about this warship being infected, but if cruise ships are breeding grounds, then why wouldn't warships be the same? I mean geez, NOT expecting everybody everywhere not to be infected is stupid niavite in the first place. Of course conservatives like to make fall guys and fall back on the rules and chain of command crap, especially when it comes to making that chain of command look stupid, or incompetent.

    You think the dufus at the top of the chain was even briefed when it happened? Go ahead make excuses but but aren't you curious about the real chain of events and not just the spin?

    I'll go by the Navy's version Captain Cozier showed poor judgement BEFORE he sent the letter . He knew the virus was in Vietnam and still gave his ship liberty which brought the virus on board .

    Afterward he completely ignored the chain of command and copied more than 20 people over unsecured communications He did NOT speak to his direct superior, carrier strike group commander Rear Adm. Stuart Baker, about his concerns before sending the memo, despite Baker living on the TR within feet of Crozier. By all appearance he went public before following the Navy rules . Like I said ,he's lucky there is no court martial .

    He is finished in the military and will never see another promotion or meaningful assignment. He should retire now and apply to MSNBC and CNN for a job. I am sure he would be a welcome contributor to Rachel Madcow's show. .
