People are able to have someone deliver it to you.
It seems more like people had a false assumption that this virus causes diarrhea which it doesn't.

There were a lot of people hoarding TP for years (4-10 48 roll packs).
Going to the grocery here in a bit. Interested to see how ham people have been going on the TP here in Louisville.
At the press conference this came from, the status was given as not fucked... yet. The entire point of these rather extreme measures is that the amount of ICU beds are limited, so we need to keep maximum simultaneous ICU patients below that at all costs.
That comes both with retooling the health care system on the fly to be emergency procedures and corona virus treatment ONLY, for a while, and by slowing the infection down. So if you have a heart attack or cancer, or similar time senstive emergencies, you're getting treatment. If whatever you have can wait, it will wait. They expect about 4000 ICU cases in Denmark from this by the time it's over. We do not have 4000 ICU beds at the same time. Hence the extreme measures.
Seems all Europe is going into lockdown. Here in Czech Republic we can't travel out at all. Only if you have permanent work in different country and commute there daily.
Nobody needs that much toilet paper. I have been using the same role for two weeks and it's not even remotely close to being done. I am thorough and also use baby wipes. These individuals are actually insane and or wasteful.
Even just for myself, I would buy maybe 2-3 extra single rolls tops. What people are doing is preventing care for those that need it. Grab a pack and be done with it. If your family is wasteful tell them to cut that shit out.
Dropped by an Aldi in Chicago and it was pretty chill in there. Plenty of TP on the shelves as well. I've seen some grocery stores busier than others around the city, but it appears that as far as food goes, the shelve's are still completely stacked everywhere I've gone this week.
would you guys say its safe to go out and pick up some chipotle and bring it back home? not sure how the virus is effecting the food business really.
How in the world are we still getting questions like this? Just use your own judgement no need to signal how little concern you have in this thread.
Utterly bonkers. Even if you're able to go, the borders might get closed and you may not be able to get back home.
went to three stores today and TP was picked fucking clean. There's a limit too, so you just know people are hitting up multiple stores and hoarding that way.
assholes.
assholes.
My theory is that TP just comes in such large packages it's just easier to notice it missing when shopping. So a few people buy a little more than usual then it's easy to see that quantity missing which causes more and more to get bought.
Went to Costco for groceries before it gets nuts. Got the regular stuff and looked around, they were totally out of TP, soup, rice, disinfectants, and cough syrup. They had lots and lots of water though.
It was about twice as busy as it normally is, but surprisingly organized.

It shouldn't even be your choice at that point if decision makers get their act together
People need to stop thinking of risk taking as crazy or brave. It's selfish.
Dow's political career is f**ked. Local City officials warned/complained that this could happen.
Concern? His destination has coronavirus, where he is coming from has coronavirus.
I don't know where you live but where I live going to the restaurant may be the only option cause the only things left in all the stores nearby are cake, cookies and candy
Sorry I should clarify. I know people are afraid to eat out at Chinese restaurants and stuff and it's affecting the business negatively in that aspect. I just mean moreso the health side of things.
The more i think about it the more logical it seems to me now that most western governments are probably aligning themselves with each other's strategy to handle this since you can see most are now adopting the same measures. They are fully aware that the eventual contamination rate of most of their populations can no longer be contained and have said as much publicly basically. It is now about slowing this thing down until the vaccine is here while trying to mitigate the death rate as efficiently as possible. Sadly though i also feel like abandoning testing is not the way to handle this, because if you do that, you totally give up what little "control" you had to objectify and observe the rate of the spread and are basically just letting things run their course. Honestly, we dropped the ball on this thing worldwide... and we saw it coming months ahead too.
What do you mean? Chipotle is realtively healthy..like if you get the bowl.
No one is eating anywhere, all restaurants are down.
Then the answer is obvious; there's no reason to ask the question.
If you don't give a shit that you, and by extension anyone you come into contact with directly or indirectly, could get the virus, then have a blast. If you want to do the socially responsible thing, then stay home. No one here can say "oh well by my calculations there's a 0.458% chance you could get it and there's a 0.074% chance you could give it to someone else". If you live in a exponentially infected country and you're doing anything that has any sort of social interaction at this point you are putting yourself and others at risk, period.

I have 8 rolls of TP for 4 people, I felt guilty buying it yesterday like people would look at me like an asshole but I was running out anyways
New York is taking similar anti-closure measures. It's going to bite us in the ass. Hoping Cuomo flip flops over the weekend.
Cooking food kill this virus (and most others). However the virus still has many factors to get to you and the food after cooking. The store counter, the drink cups, any touch screens, the wrapping paper, the packaging, the money you uses, the buttons on card machine, all that stuff can be an issue. However, if you trusted your store to be hygienic in the past, then still trust them now.
Why didn't they give him a gps ankle monitor? Seriously we figured some of this shit out a long time ago. Why were these early cases where officials ask people to self quarantine aren't monitored through these devices? The US response to this has been a complete joke.
State of emergency is being declared tomorrow so further details will come then, but one of the measures that are enforced during any such state is limiting the movement of people and vehicles so it isn't looking particularly good.
After the press conference, Danish TV had some commentary on this, because of course they did.
One of them, a medical professional, said that there's only really one number that matters for this plan: How many people are going to need hospital treatment?
If you get the virus, but can stay home and feel mildly awful for a couple of weeks, you're essentially handled from a government point of view. Stay isolated, don't infect others, and you'll handle things on your own. So economically and from a medical point of view the number of mild infections is mostly irrelevant. The important bit is that if you show cold or flu symptoms, you STAY HOME. If it's actually corona or not doesn't really matter unless you need a hospital now. Stay away, get better.
And for what it was worth, he was actually quite optimistic about the whole thing now. We're doing the right things, if we actively try to reduce infections, retool the hospitals to handle more of them, and slow everything down, we'll beat it. Not without deaths, unfortunately, but with as few as possible.
Well...I guess food delivery. But robots aren't there yet for service.
Yeah I read about that. My flight out of Spain is actually tomorrow back home. I really don't want to get stuck here so I'm wondering if I should somehow skip away tonight (rent a car or something).
And they were warned, the City tried to get a court order to delay the facility because of security concerns. Guess what, it bit Dow in the arse.

You're not wrong, i can kinda see this as the most pragmatic approach now that it's already spreading all over basically. Just a damn shame that we KNOW it could have been prevented from spreading as much with a more drastic approach when there was still time for that.
Anyway, i am worried about the number of people that are actually in between a mild and a severe case if you get what i mean? There may be tons of people that have never felt this sick before and how are they supposed to be able to judge whether this is still mild or actually severe without a doctor assisting them? Somehow i feel like the line here isn't as cut and dry as the government assumes it is or am i way off base here and you actually know right away that you gotta go to the hospital/ that your life is on the line? Also, you can feel like you can handle it at first, then when it gets worse, how do you know whether to just "push through" until you get better or that you're putting your life at stake by not escalating it?
