20200303: Coronavirus Ground Reports

This is a thread for reporting your ACTUAL PERSONAL ground reports – what you are SEEING and HEARING about the coronavirus, and your THOUGHTS in relation to those things.

I’ll go first.


I was at the FLYOVER GROCERY STORE today.

These are the things I observed….

People are using the wipes on the cart handles without any self-consciousness.

Stock on freshly baked bread seemed lower than normal.

Easter candy is already out on display.

The number of people seemed normal.

Crowd behavior seemed normal.

Overall vitamin stock was FULL.

Vitamin C was dented but no items were empty – down to 2 or 3 bottles left on the shelf for some of the “economy size” items, so Vitamin C is definitely getting hit, but not OUT.

No other vitamins or supplements seemed affected.

Note that there are no COVID-19 patients in said city or region.

Orange juice stock looked normal.

All other stock looked normal.

Clorox Wipes have been placed on display at the end of the CANNED FOOD AISLE.

Wipes in the display were moving but not briskly enough to set off any alarms.

Canned food stocks are NORMAL.

Specials on mac-and-cheese, energy bars, tuna, and other “short term normie prepper” foods.

No grocery carts seemed to be of a “prepper” nature.

No panic behavior by cars or people.


So that’s it – pretty uneventful.

What say you?

Dear KAG: 20200303 Open Thread

Welcome to the 15 minute, standing meeting Tuesday Daily thread. After searching for an hour for something inspiring, I decided on something memorable. Really the ashtray and cigarette on the Steinway make the video.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

From the Psalm 4, one of today’s antiphons:

When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer. [3] O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying? [4] Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him. [5] Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

[6] Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things? [7] The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart. [8] By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied. [9] In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: [10] For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
