What have/ will we learn from this pandemic and our reactions to it.

[f6john]

I have only been out a few times since the craziness set in but I have observed some unusual behavior to say the least. Feel free to add your thoughts on what is happening to our society and our government.

When in panic mode Americans eat a lot of hamburger, chicken, bread, milk, and eggs.

They also know that siting around eating, they are eventually going to crap a lot.

To summarize when you panic all you do is eat and $hit.

I failed to check the condom section so the jury is still out on that.

The college age kids are going to have their fun, screw the boomers. This is totally media related as I have no first hand interaction with that age group recently.


One constant - Trump haters still hate Trump. Trump supporters still support Trump.

        Talked with my ridin friend J T and he related something that took place in West Plains Mo. yesterday. Two women supposedly got into a cat fight-imagination here-over something one or the other had grabbed first and the other one wanted.   After talking with J T and for my own reasons instead of Just my .380 one of the other .40 cals will now be with me. Lady I know told me she is now doing something she only used to do at her early start at micky ds-carrying again. NO-she no longer wurx at micky ds. I believe I M H O the craziness is only Just gittin started. Really do NOT care to shoot someone over petty chit but should it come down to me or them-imagination here Again! Could this chit be part of the pestilence talked about in The Christian Bible?   RIDE SAFE

Yeah, I was pleased with Cuomo’s remarks but had not heard Omar’s but they are politicians so they haven’t sprouted wings yet either.

       Just got off the phone with my local Mom and Pop gun shop. All I can tell you is his rock solid normal suppliers are All Mostly on back order. And I do Mean ALL of his normal suppliers. Ammo new and used weapons and repair parts. Guessin iffin ya ain't got it Now you WILL play heck gittin it. 
        Also called my V A Clinic in West Plains Mo. as I have my annual physical fast approaching and according to Nice Lady I conversed with At This point in time my appointment still stands. Should things change they Will notify me. The truly miserable downside I foresee is I will NOT be able to go into one of my favorite resturants for breakfast! 
         Is all this crapola becoming Our new-sigh-normal?  RIDE SAFE.

Was visiting my son and DIL in Memphis the last few days.   He's a Para-Medic, she's a heart specialist nurse (don't remember her exact title).   Regardless, both see a lot of medical stuff and are exposed (potentially) to patients having the Coronavirus.   Both had some interesting and scary stories to tell.

Regardless, my son got called in on his day off to cover for another para-medic at a different station.   Since he was not going to his normal station, he didn't have his normal stash of food at the assigned station and didn't have time to go get anything to eat for his lunch or dinner.   Mom and I volunteered to get him what he wanted and drop if off at the station he was going to work at.

We went to a Krogers and a Wally World and in both cases, the shelves were virtually empty for the most part.   We got him food but, it was not something he or I would have wanted.   People are going nuts is all I'm going to say.   The supply chain is doing it's best to keep up.   I can only imagine how long some folks will be using toilet paper they bought during this pandemic.

Some or a lot of this country think they deserve or want, instant gratitude, I am an American I am privileged. They have not a clue about anything but me, me first. The virus could be very bad, but it has gotten blown way out of proportion. Just do what is asked about keeping yourself safe and healthy. That is common cense, which is uncommon. Just think what it would be like if there has been no electric utilities for two weeks and no one knowing when it will be back on. There could be and has been  more difficult times then now.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.  Electricity and all.  There have been, and will again be more difficult times than now.

Yes, I prep. Have for many years.  Not to a huge extent, but I don't want to rely.

I've had the recent opportunity to hear from 7 or 8 nurses, each says this is being blown out of proportion. I guess time will tell.

I guess it depends were you live. Nurses in metro areas with populations of 1 million plus may feel differently.
