The distance doesn't really matter as much as the amount of people coming and going from high risk countries, and without looking, I got to believe Hawaii does not lead the US in that category.
Yeah, I had the same experience, regular supermarkets seems to be business as usual, costco is getting slammed.
Dear God...Reports coming in that Iranians set fire to the ward where they’re housing COVID19 patients.

Keep in mind that by the time it becomes very apparent that you need to stock up, it will be very apparent to everyone else as well.
WHAT IN THE FUCK!? WHY!?!Reports coming in that Iranians set fire to the ward where they’re housing COVID19 patients.

This is terrible. I hope that such occurrences won't occur more often as that is just counter-productive.Reports coming in that Iranians set fire to the ward where they’re housing COVID19 patients.

The irony here is that nobody is wearing a mask and they're actually increasing their exposure to all viruses by all shopping at the same time.
They prob thibk they are killing the virus by killing everyone exposed in there >_> Unreasonable and dumb mob mentality, especially with no cure in sight.
It was said during the corona virus press conference that the government would investigate people who do this (US).
Hospitals and doctors buy them wholesale, right? Maybe the feds need to step in and just have the supply redirected away from grocery stores and towards hospitals and doctors offices. Maybe it's already happening.
I have friends there. They mainly just stayed in the house for last 6 weeks.
Doesn't seem like stores are getting restocked on those too often so maybe.

Probably posted many pages ago.I didn't see this get posted:
Wash. state sees 1st virus death in US, declares emergency
The governor of Washington declared a state of emergency Saturday after a man died there of COVID-19, the first such reported death in the United States. More than 50 people in a nursing facility are sick and being tested for the virus.
A tweet on page 87. Oh well probably good to bring it to attention again anyway.
I know that currently people are more likely to get influenza as there is a lot more of it out there. What I'm asking is (not just you but the era collective) - is there some measurement/data for how infectious one virus is versus another given the same vectors/conditions of exposure to the virus. For example, if exposed to someone coughing - which one are we likely to get? If we are exposed to the same surface and touch it and then touch our eyes (or whatever), which are we more likely to get? Basically how infectious are they relative to each other. While establishing mortality data for covid-19 still seems to be variable (with a bunch of unknowns) and current estimates ranging from .2% to like 3% we at least have a wide but acknowledged range.
Masks don’t really do anything though but freak everyone else out.
They only protect you for a short time, anyway. Your breath is wet, and it wears down any protection you have within 20-30 minutes. It's better for using if you're the one who is sick and want to help other people, but it's not a big factor.
Same here, even the employees there feel its excessive. My gf on the other hand is buying into all of it. I'm pretty annoyed by now and tell her not to worry.
Here is one measure:

Our local Menards (home improvement store) has pushed them for years. They literally have them in main aisles on display. I used them in Tokyo last year and they were nice. My wife was at a hotel in Iowa last night and her room had one. She loved how it was heated. I might have sold her on one.
Isn't keeping you from touching your mouth and nose still valuable, though?
Was gonna pick some up since we have a newborn so that handwashing is easier for our oldest. Apparently grocery store had 8 cases of them come in today and immediately sold out.
So the terrorists win?
Sure, but that's only one factor. Can still be coughed on, sneezed on. That's why it's equally as important for people who are sick, even minimally, to wear them. You can control yourself, but you can't control other people who have problems with disease hygiene.
People just don’t buy supplies with massive hysteria going on, they empty supermarkets and buy more than they actually need. Think for a moment, will ya?
Not if it makes you complacent.

So I can't pick my nose, use qtips or drink my shower water. Life won't be worth living.
