Coronavirus is definitely having an impact on business!
-
Im good on meat, whole hog, 1/4 beef and 3 deer in the freezer all processed and ready to cook
-
this surge is good for business now but when people are stocked up and staying at home everything will come to a grinding halt !

Austin I heard that local stores were essentially out of meat and completely out of toilet paper last weekend. The restaurant around the corner mentioned that a customer stole all of the toilet paper from their bathroom cabinet. That would explain the huge increase in business for us. I’m feeling very grateful working in a place that will also feed me. I’m picking up a rack of ribs today just in case. With all of the bars closing and limited restaurant service in Washington state I’d imagine that we will continue selling at a high rate this week. Hopefully our suppliers can still ‘meat’ our demand but I have a feeling all of their customers will be stocking up as well.
These are strange times we are living in.
Joe Hell Hey Joe we went to an old stand but since Smart Food Service is having such a hard time. Restaurant Depot, got to have a business license to shop there, which we just happen to. My boys went there Sunday, lots of meat and most of everything else. They found pork loin for $1.30 lb. Don’t know if they have one in Walla Walla or maybe the Tri Cities, you might check them out if you can use the license from the shop

Someone in my wife’s MBA group works for Cargill and I was talking to him yesterday, so they are going nuts with stores buying so much beef and restaurants trying to return huge amounts. He said without the returns from restaurants there might be a shortage.

As long as trucks keep rolling, there will be a steady supply of beef. It’s the people who don’t have freezer’s full of meat who are going to be in trouble if this continues.

Joe Hell How many confirmed cases are there in your town? Wichita has a few. I really hope everyone is being smart about this. Don’t go panic-buy a bunch of stuff BUT if you have some extra sure cure hold on to that stuff and start thinking about making some cured food products for long term storage!

Jonathon I think there has only been one confirmed case admitted to our hospital but he wasn’t from Walla Walla. The man could potentially have exposed many people as he works at a casino about 40 minutes from here and also attended a youth basketball game where he collapsed and paramedics were called. He was then taken to our local hospital.

Joe Hell I think that’s what scaring people the most, the fact that 1 person can infect so many people before they are symptomatic. I told my older neighbor yesterday that if she needs anything at all to call me and I will take care of it but if it’s like food or meds or something she needs I will drop it off on her doorstep, I told her no more face to face contact for while which sucks cause my dogs LOVE this lady and she lives alone so I don’t think she gets to see a lot of people.
It seems like if you aren’t over 70 or don’t have a pre-existing condition it is just slightly worse than the regular flu.

The wife and I have granddaughters who insist that we stay at home and call them if we want something we are more lucky than some Jonathon it is good of you to look out for your neighbor

Jonathon after a morning rush it’s almost a ghost town. We are the only business open for a few blocks. This street would normally be almost impossible to find a parking spot

Starting to look similar around here. Not quite that bad though. Wi just shuttered all bars and restaurants late yesterday afternoon. We are only delivering off premise accounts. Office staff has been sent home with their computers to work from there. Strange times. -
Joe Hell my friend who is an ICU nurse in Seattle posted this a little bit ago, “I’m putting out a call to anyone who has N95 masks or PPE they’re willing to part with. Our hospitals are critically low.” You better just head for the hills!

I’m glad I usually over cook, have a vacuum sealing system, & have both a full fridge & freezer in the garage. Give me 10# of dried beans & with the 25# of rice we’ve got we should be able to last over 6 months. Just have to worry about fuel for the outdoor cooking tools.

macsinsac I did see Kosmos Q yesterday post a video saying that charcoal was going to be the next thing people were going to start hoarding after toilet paper, he said he was getting calls wanting to know if they had charcoal. I’d probably take it with a grain of salt, as its probably more of a marketing ploy in my mind, because I have seen tons of charcoal in the stores I have been in.

Tex_77 I saw a guy at Home Depot the other day with an overloaded shopping cart of Royal Oak. Hoarding was my first thought. Yesterday there was a lady at the grocery store with what looked like all of the yogurt and english muffins the store had in-stock.

Joe Hell My nurse friend there says you better be washing your hands like your life depends on it! Says you need to sanitize everything, so maybe you need to pick up some everclear and try to sanitize yourself from the inside out. The local distillery here in town announced that they have begun to produce hand sanitizer in-lieu of spirits and will be giving it out to the community for free next week sometime.
