I must have missed that. What do you mean "for the children"?

I wish that prick had stayed at Ohio State instead of returning to College Park.

I am doing as North Beach. I have been building the supply up gradually. If we get quarantined for 2 weeks we simply did not have the resources so I got some provisions. After seeing what is happening in Italy it dawned on me that we need to be prepared for a possible lock down that could last more than 2 weeks. I figured the stores will be open for food on some limited basis but the liquor stores may close, so I hoarded there big time.

Yeah, likewise. Only now I am drinking more.

I don't like the math. Cases and Deaths are both growing at a algorithmic rate, meaning the increase in cases isn't solely due to more testing. Instead there is a stubborn fatality rate that is increasing in-line with the spread. The virus is speeding up and the next 7 days are going to be telling.

good news so far, hogan appears to consider them essential businesses.

Car dealerships, clothing stores, performing arts companies, salons, and schools are among the many nonessential activities ordered to shut down by the governor. Restaurants will be allowed to continue carry-out and delivery business, and liquor stores will remain open.

No way liquor stores will close. A substantial percentage of the population has some level of alcohol dependency. There would legit be looting and people ODing on rubbing alcohol.

And the downside would be?

Define "substantial".

Actually Gov. Wolfe of Pennsylvania ordered all liquor stores, bars, wineries and beer distributors to close last week. That lasted about four days.

Yeah PA's action is what led me to load up at the liquor stores. Of course I'm drinking more as I'm so bored so maybe that's not working all that well.

I tell you what, I have remained pretty unconcerned about getting this. The odds are very long and we are taking the appropriate precautions but we had to shop and we had to have some contact with others. But after reading the accounts of some of the survivors this is horrific condition so I'm staying put for a while longer.

Yeah, I'm not out as much as I was, and since leaving office last year that being "out and about" really contracted. Part of that is the weather.

Let's face it, people still have to get groceries, still have to go to the drug store, still have to, if spending time doing "stuff" at the house, go to the hardware so they're going out.

As far as your drinking more goes:
