      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!

        Tex_77 It’s becoming worrisome. It will be an especially hard hit to the restaurant/hospitality industry. We will be donating as much as possible to keep people fed. This is bad.

          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.

                  Tex_77 By default I wash my hands at least 50 times a day at the butcher shop and we have been disinfecting every handle, surface, furniture at both the shop and insurance office several times per day.

                    One of the myths I was just reading dealt with the masks. Only the people who have the virus and the medical folks who are dealing with this on the front lines should have them. So quit hoarding these.

                    Everclear? Good luck finding it. Received 55cs this week and promptly left the warehouse. Still on back order.

                    We have a local craft distiller trying to get to us a straight high content alcohol right now.

                          PapaSop Hoarding isn’t helping anyone that I can see…although based on my liquor collection at home it would be easy to accuse me of such. Many delivery services in the area are now including a free roll of toilet paper with orders. There is a store in Pendleton giving tp away with Cannabis sales. lol.

                            Just grabbed some sale items including some beers that went on sale from the stores recent flier that comes in the paper. This is just a normal thing I do. Saved $57. Did see a lot of empty shelf space and some carts loaded up but… Being just a house of one I don’t need to over buy.

                              PapaSop I’m in the same boat. I generally only buy what I can carry. I dropped off a large bag of prepared meats (ribs, steak and sausages) to the grandparents today to help them get by. They joked that they’ve been on quarantine for the last 20 years so it’s been a breeze so far. Local Albertson’s and Safeway stores have implemented a senior citizen shopping time of 7-9 each morning. My grandpa said he’s never seen so many old people. lol.

                                  Tex_77 pellets, wood splits, lump charcoal, & propane are the fuels I use for my outdoor cooking. I know I can get everything put the propane on line.

                                    craigrice Hopefully that is when the inspection business (Residential & Commercial) will pick up again. We have lost 10 jobs that we basically had in the hand as of today (during the last month or so). It is insane as we are here to help & ready to go for the most part. Still fairly busy, but hate to see them bail or postpone due to fear & uncertainty. Dave

                                      what I see is a lull in everything till people start using up what they panic bought and boredom /cabin fever sets in then I expect everything slowly get back to normal
