Well, Indiana is the next state to implement carry out or delivery only for bars and restaurants.

WA did that yesterday too. Not sure yet what that's gonna look like.

IA.  We've been wary of eating out the past week or so.  Just hoping the grocery stores can keep up with the consumer demands...bizarre to see so many aisles empty.  Definitely aware of my privilege right now.

Maryland announced it this morning. All restaurants closed by 1700 today. Take out/delivery is still okay.

I think the Indiana grocery stores were hit really hard Friday/Saturday due to a bunch of school closings announced on Friday.  I, unfortunately, went shopping all three days (Friday through Sunday).  Friday early morning was a mad house/shelves empty/general hysteria.  Saturday, things were calming down, still some empty shelves, but workers were working hard to restock where they could.  Sunday, more shelves were stocked (lots of perishables veggies were out, but no potatoes at all), and some canned goods were out.  People seem to not like kidney beans in Indiana (a shame, but good for me).  I think the next couple days the supply chain will continue for food goods pretty normal, and you can only stock your fridge to the wall limits, but there will be a lack of some dry goods.

Well damn, the DNR wants the raccoon for testing.  Says it's likely canine distemper.  So much for dinner.

and dont you have deer that stumble across your property?

Yes, lots.  Thirteen of them Saturday morning.  I'm not a poacher, but if this turns into the apocalypse at least we have an option before resorting to cannibalism.

Same here in northern CA. LITERALLY ALL the pasta and canned beans 'n chili were gone, as well as the entire ramen aisle (<-- not a high end store). I mostly needed fresh veggies and those were fully stocked. The apocalypse future will be high in sodium.

if there isnt anything to buy you got to do what you go to do to eat (& its not like there is a shortage of deer on the planet)  

But I cant decide if in the future world I want to be Negan, Rick, or Daryl?

We keep a pretty well-stocked pantry and had anticipated Thursday night that things would get bad.  We grabbed provisions (within reason) from our tiny grocery store from down the street, then did a grocery pickup at Meijer Saturday AM.  They were out of some items, but we still managed to get some pasta, meats, and canned goods.  We stocked up last night again from the little grocery store after hearing the CDC would expand their guidelines - all bread, meat, and eggs were wiped out, but we were still able to get canned/frozen goods.  We also were able to get some potatoes though supplies were dwindling.  Since we keep a pretty well-stocked pantry already, it was more about shoring up our resources in case it gets worse (again, within reason. I don't understand the toilet paper or bottled water hysteria buying, and I'm certainly not going to take too many resources from others in need).

I was talking about the stock market and the virus stuff today with a co-worker.  He mentioned that he might buy another gun.  I just...is that really the correct reaction?

Buying another gun is never an incorrect response.

When my daughter was born, it was time to buy another gun.

I'm about to have a son, time to buy anther gun.

Global pandemic? Time to buy another gun.

Boyfriend noted yesterday that stocks in gun companies were doing well. Slightly surprised he didn't buy one. Maybe if he didnt just get a roof rack and a kayak...

 

[Road Guy]

Is there a hedge fund for Kroger, Costco, Sams and Cabela's?

I was told there were lots of "Subaru types" at the Cabela's this past weekend in line to buy a firearm   Long Lines - I did go out a month ago and bought enough boxes for my family to hold our own in the event the blue bellies try and get us out of our houses, but nothing too crazy...

Welp.  Guess I don't have to worry about finding a new gym anytime soon:

"Marion County restaurants, bars, gyms and other venues are set to close by Tuesday morning, according to Mayor Joe Hogsett.  Hogsett issued an executive order declaring a local disaster emergency in Marion County. He also activated a watch-level travel advisory, which means only essential travel—such as to and from work, emergencies, or  travel to purchase groceries and pick-up prescriptions or food—is recommended.

In addition, Hogsett prohibited gatherings of 50 people or more and closed bars, nightclubs, movie theaters, gyms and entertainment venues effective at 8 a.m. Tuesday.  Bars and restaurants that do serve food will be prohibited from serving dine-in customers but can offer food via carryout, delivery and drive-thru."

I might go to my current gym one last time tonight, to say good bye/good luck, but then I might start jogging after work instead of gyming it.

I wish I had some extra money to invest right now.

 

[Tiger15]

I've never heard a "gun person" say that it's not a good time to buy a gun or ammo. Can't speak for other regions, but in the south that's pretty much the standard response to any & every event.

My gym just sent an email saying they're closed for the next 2 weeks.  I doubt I'll want to go after that.  Maybe I should just cancel it for the summer and save some money!
