The REALLY BAD part is that we needed to be at 85% like Connecticut and some European countries - and we needed it that high by about May in order for the US to have repelled the Delta variant. Children's DEATHS are spiking upwards and some hospitals are FULL of CV patients. Unless you can rewind the clock to April and hypnotize the unvaccinated into accepting REALITY, we are at a REALLY BAD time with respect to CV. And hoarding will make everything worse!

I don't know where you get your facts, but as of yesterday, Connecticut is only at 63.9% full vaccinated...

And not a single country in Europe is even close to that number, either. The highest is in the mid-upper 60% range...

Please cite where there are hospitals "full of Covid patients"... I'll wait...

Yea, OK. Where do these "facts" come from? When did he say that? He died 2 years ago well before Covid-19. The only "true" part is that the FDA DID say that test was not good.

You are aware that there were other covid viruses before covid-19, aren;'t you?

Thank you, but the specific comment that was posted and replied to and attributed to Mullis who died 2 years ago was not factual and likely obtained from Facebook or other social media.

In order to protect myself and my family, I have purchased a deep freezer which is inside my garage and filled with meats. I have stocked-up on everyday items, I have a 180 day supply of required medication and my spare bedroom is filled with everything I will need to survive the next commodity shortage. You may think that I am hoarding, but I am preemptively protecting and providing for my family if the need should arise. I hope that nothing will happen, but just in case, I hope you guys are also taking precautions for the next round of "POSSIBLE" shortages. Be Safe and proactive.

Have you considered investing in toilet paper futures?

May need to invest in face masks as well. The news this morning was interesting about school districts requiring masks.

First of all, any district mandating masks in schools is violating an executive order by the governor of Florida banning such mandates, which carries with it force of law. Personally, I disagree with that order, but it is the law, so if I were the governor I would have those school boards arrested and let them contemplate their contempt for the law from a jail cell.

That being said, and I'll admit to a bit of hyperbole here, this was the gestalt from the school supervisors that were interviewed:

Aug. 2020: Masks are the best thing since sliced bread. We should all go to the church of the holy mask and bow to the altar and thank the mask god for providing them

Today: Masks aren't much of a defense, but they must do something, so we'll mandate them anyway

Aug. 2022: ????????

And all this from the government that assured us our children were safe under their desks during a nuclear attack.

If only flip-flopping were a sport and betting was allowed..........

Our daughter's in London. I agree with these figures and agree with Two Bills as usual.

She couldn't get second shot until most got first...............

They both got Astra-Zeneca.

Just my opinion, but this is a normal reaction to feeling scared and anxious. In order to feel in control, hoarding supplies makes one feel like they have done something and have overcome a envisioned danger. As many others have pointed out, there are new dangers (no electricity, target for theft, etc.) that introduce new anxiety where ones life is reduced to reacting to perceived concerns. Not a healthy way to live.

Its prudent to have non-perishable food as we all saw with hurricane Katrina, but if one has stockpiled more than a month or so of consumables, I think it is more of a mental health concern than that of being over prepared.

When cowboys wanted a "shot" of whiskey they paid by giving a bullet. Now we know the whole story.

I believe the difference is my number included those 12 and older. Yours was 18 and older...

And yes, I realize I posted the same link twice. I'll try to find the correct one I found earlier...
