Multitask Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 YEs, I agree... I understand the want to make sure you have all you need... but don't hoard!! I know that the stores will get new stock, so I'll wait... but because of the hoarding, most will do the same of those that would not normally...

Viking Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Got a couple in Vancouver, British Columbia who have made over 100K buying cleaning supplies at four different Costco stores and overpriced reselling on Amazon, since this Virus became commonplace. That is what - for us - a matter of maybe four weeks. Amazon has cut them off. They say, they had to make the extra money to keep their children in "private school". I walked into Walmart yesterday for milk and bread, to find they had none and had signs up limiting both to one per customer. This requires that people go to Walmart more often, which sort of negates social distancing. When things get stupid, they go downhill in a hurry.

Zalvern Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I haven't chimed in much since I bought myself a new vehicle to enjoy again: A 2020 Mazda 6 Signature sedan. Awesome sedan for the price, and found the pros outweigh the cons. The 2.5T Skyactiv-G motor is really neat in design, and transmission better than what Ford did for the 2.0T or 2.3T even. I ultimately bought it because I do not support Ford's notion to cut sedans anymore and their neglect on them for the price they ask. So I went with a new underdog: Mazda. Still able to use FORScan which is a great plus and huge bang for buck in regards to interior and features. Now to be more on topic: The quarantine effort doesn't mean one can't go outside, rather just don't go mingling around other people so much. The main annoyance is all the hoarders who think human extinction is coming, and the scalpers who buy just to take advantage of supply and demand with get rich quick schemes. Hand sanitizer isn't that great, and many people are wearing face masks for illogical reasons when in public. It's going to take more work and steps of proper hand washing and awareness to come out ahead. No cheat codes or lazy ways here to keep precautions simple. Wash your hands when entering a store. Wash your hands when leaving a store. Turn off facets and open doors with the paper towels used to dry your hands before pitching it. If no paper towels (as some have automatic hand dryers) then while your hands are sudded with soap, to clean up the facet knobs a bit, and then finish a complete hand wash. If someone is coughing down an aisle with an item you need, just turn around and go elsewhere for it. Wash after coming home from driving your car. Remind yourself subconsciously to not touch your body entryways (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, genitals and any potential cuts on your skin) unless you have cleaned your hands prior. This isn't excessive germaphobe advice either, as it isn't creating extra effort that shows diminishing returns, just a few more seconds when practiced in reality. It's good to practice this against all forms of viral and bacterial infection, not just COVID-19 too. That is all there is to it. Take more seconds out of life to wash up properly, and avoid congested areas with a wide variety of people being kept close. It's all the numb skulls who blow this off and contact the virus easily by being rebellious, ignorant, or selfish that ruin it for the rest of us. Bestowing common sense for the average human is always going to be the greatest challenge. The virus is a serious concern, but more so because of how people continue to act. Even as this comes to pass, those who didn't practice proper hygiene awareness still won't learn much in the process if they revert back to old ways. This would be far more scary if the virus could infect by consumption of food and water, remain continuously airborne at great distances, or transmission from animals and plants. But the common man has power to take control of this, and results will show the more people who become properly aware and respect it. I work in the healthcare field (although there are some slackers in the industry, so don't be fooled thinking all of them are wise about hygiene), but in one of the more better areas while keeping active income no matter how much gets shut down. Thank goodness I got out of the ER scene years ago, or I would be more on edge admittedly just because of all the unknown craziness that walks in those front doors. May you all be safe, and stay wise out there! Edited March 27, 2020 by Zalvern R2D2, Robert Iggy Cerami and DeeCee 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
