FiretrUCKING Corona! Plans gone awry.

I was all packed up and ready to go. I got a message from my Quaker girlfriend. Our event in Atlanta has been canceled due to the Coronavirus. Heck, Darn, Blast, and other words to that effect! A good old fashion Quaker style thrashing is on the horizon viz ZOOM!

Should I buy the train ticket to Philadelphia for April? My plan was to take the train to Philadephia, attend the conference for three days, take the Greyhound to Washington D.C. for two days, stay in a hostel which usually has lots of foreign travellers, hike to Capitol Hill and lobby with our Senators and Congress. I am part of the vulnerable population that should be avoiding crowds. Oh, joy! I don't want to isolate and be wrapped in cotton just to feel safe.

So I went to the grocery store tonight, no toilet paper and the price of bleach has been jacked up. Hoarding paper products and other essentials are not within my financial realities.

My has been working in Florida at the State Fair. The State Fair has been cancelled. He is on his way back to West Virginia. He is currently recovering from the financial devastation of a bad relationship and depending on this job to get back on his feet.

We are at an economic standstill and the flakes want to blame Trump. This world has survived, the black plague, yellow fever, smallpox, various strains of flu, ebola, ad infinitum, and now this Corona Virus.

I was told that Irish Whiskey would help kick the Corona Virus. I am a teetotaler. Perhaps if I touch of the hem of my inebriated neighbor's garment, I might be saved

The insanity of this PANIC is what is more dangerous than the corona virus. Why aren't we hearing about the people dying from complications of the regular flu and other diseases that kill thousands every year? Have you noticed that we no longer seem to hear about all the people that are killed by gunshots or automobiles?
As one politician once said, "Never let a crisis go to waste." Sure, it is a dangerous disease for a portion of our population, but to shut down the whole economy for it is kind of ridiculous.
As for the toilet paper "shortage", if it hadn't been reported all over the place about one area, I don't think everywhere would have a "shortage". BTW, our local store still had well stocked shelves of TP and Lysol disinfectant cleaning supplies. Guess the folks in this area have a bit of common sense.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

On a recent note from my daughter in Hong Kong, they have already been thru the toilet paper shortage thing and she assures me, the toilet paper will be back,,, lol Hong Kong has their situation under control, surely the US can do the same. Come on people, let's not panic over sanitizer and handsoap.
