C19 fear. does anyone have an explanation why people are hoarding water? this is a utility in the US which won't run dry. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 7, 11:38 15
- This isn't plague that wiped out over half of the world population, and while it is harsh on vulnerable/elderly, most all kids and working population -- nm - should be fine Mar 7, 13:05

  - Exactly! Heh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 12:27 1
    - And bacon's point about sanitization works for areas with a wealth of water ... but lots of the us doesn't fit that bill -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 12:29
- Key word there is "run"; I think it's fuelled by fear that things will stop running. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 12:07
- My annual public service announcement. Eight drops of bleach, into 1 gallon of water for 1 hour makes it safe to drink. - Bacon Mar 7, 11:52 9
  - Gotta follow these directions as precisely as the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. - Max Mar 7, 14:12
  - That helps with bacteria and maybe viruses, which is good, but doesn't help with other contaminants. Right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 11:54 7
    - Correct, if it has motor oil or pesticides bleach won't help. -- nm - Bacon Mar 7, 11:55 6
      - I was thinking lead or hexavalent chromium -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 11:56 5

If you’re Bruce Arians, would you make a short-term run at Tom Brady? - Will Hunting Mar 7, 10:57 10
- I'd make a long term run at Teddy. - ML Mar 7, 12:20
- It's not entirely crazy. And I'd want to make a run at Brady if I was in the Buccaneers front office. - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 11:18 1
  - Oh, Jameis would be shot into a cannon the moment Brady signed. I’d draft a QB to be the next guy. - Will Hunting Mar 7, 12:08
- Makes sense to me -- nm - budice Mar 7, 11:09
- he needs a strong front line and some receivers....heeeeyyyyy -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 11:02
- Since Brady looks totally done, no. -- nm - David Mar 7, 11:00 4
  - I’m mostly with you but I’m not 100 percent because that NE receiver corps was dogshit without Gronk. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 11:01 3
    - He looked done the previous year, too. I'm pretty sure Belichick knows it, but he's got the same problem SF had with Montana. - David Mar 7, 11:11 2
      - Iirc Montana had a serious injury and Steve Young had stepped in for awhile... - zeitgeist Mar 7, 11:23 1
        
        Young was an MVP when Montana was hurt. SF already had the best type of plan in place, just Montana was beloved. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 12:10

  - For the rest of Canada, yes, but not victoria. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 10:12
NYT: Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency in New York on Saturday as the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the state rose to 76 -- (link) - budice Mar 7, 10:00 3

  - Was it a Hasidic community? -- nm - Tim Mar 7, 12:55

- Necessary because of this -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 7, 08:44 7
  - America first! -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:23
  - This could be the explanation. Trump may still own stock in 2 companies that are developing Covid-19 tests. Remember when the administration told us - jnine Mar 7, 09:02 3
    - Because of course he does. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 10:38
    - Capitalism above all -- nm - JackDawson Mar 7, 09:12 1
      - I have realized a while back that Trump does indeed think of himself as "America". Whenever he says America, hear it as "me" and suddenly he is honest -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:31
  - Yeah, blaming the CDC when it's the administration tied their hands is unfair. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 08:52
  - yeesh -- nm - mud Mar 7, 08:46
Is someone setting up an ST March Madness pool? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 08:19 1

Hmmm...do I want to get up at 6am to go to Premier League Fan Fest in Philly next month... -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 7, 08:08 3

  - Right? - znufrii Mar 7, 09:14 1
    - 🙂 well and the Robbies. - JD Mar 7, 09:30

Sorry ty and RC but a good open letter to Aaron Schock -- (link) - JackDawson Mar 7, 07:35 3

  - No one is suggesting you do otherwise ! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 7, 08:19
- Yeah, doesn’t quite stick the landing but this is good. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 08:01

    - with or without -- nm - mud Mar 7, 07:50
"The moment I knew" -- (link) - mud Mar 7, 07:25
The store is busier than a usual Saturday morning. So we are all spreading whatever. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 07:24 4
- Yeah, but think of the bright side: You might end up being featured in a CDC study or a medical journal. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 08:16
- I'm sure taco bell is safe. right? -- nm - amanda Mar 7, 07:40 2
  - Taco Bell is the cure. Flushes the virus out of the system with diarrhea and kills anything left behind. -- nm - Bacon Mar 7, 07:48 1
    - Cheesy Gordita Colonic? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 10:05
Jax update: Halfway done and still alive. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 7, 06:53 2

Pixar has a June film too. This is an off cycle film. - spamlet Mar 7, 06:48 7
- I thought it was terrific. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 7, 07:09 4
  - I just thought it was (spoilers, I guess) - spamlet Mar 7, 10:35
  - It looks like a really entertaining film, and I think they were aiming for spring break views. But that's rapidly evaporating. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 08:26 2
    - Yeah, movie theaters are in for a tough time. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 7, 08:44 1
      - Movie productions, too, most likely. Sam Neill is in Morocco right now for (presumably) Jurassic Park, Cruise fled Italy, Keanu is probably in SF... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 08:59
- And how you couldn’t have seen ads for Onward I have no idea. -- nm - spamlet Mar 7, 06:48 1
  - Maybe they saw adds but missed the Pixar element? -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:25
Meanwhile, over in the Mo. Valley Conference, seeds 1, 2, and 3 all lost in the conference tournament quarterfinals. - Bardi Gras Mar 7, 06:25 2

I'm heading to Costco this afternoon -- partly 'cause I need stuff, partly out of morbid curiosity. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 06:20
Well I’d say now it’s definitely time to panic. -- (link) - mafic Mar 7, 05:17 4
- And it’s not like CoronaVirus has a GI component. -- nm - Dano Mar 7, 05:45
- I heard on the radio a local newspaper was including blank pages, you know, in case of emergency. - zunk, man of means by no means Mar 7, 05:43 2
  - And I guess any port in a storm, but newsprint? Eeek. -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 06:11 1
    - Guess you didn't grow up where I did. Last year's phone book or the Aussie equivalent of the Sears Catalog :) - Meg Mar 7, 10:07
"Don't test for Corona, we don't want the cases to go up and make us look bad." *Corona inevitably spreads, because they don't know who has it* - Reagen Mar 7, 04:45 3
- And then the initial spike overwhelms the healthcare system and half a million people die -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 08:24
- “Don’t let those people on the boat in or we’ll have double the cases.” -- nm - mafic Mar 7, 05:17
- It was a perfect call. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 04:55
Sad local news here. Police think they found the remains of this adorable 15-mo old girl who hasn’t been seen since December but only reported - Will Hunting Mar 7, 04:42 2
- I’m so sad. I expected this outcome but was hoping to be proven wrong. -- nm - kelly Mar 7, 05:49 1
  - Yeah. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 7, 05:55
