    I purchase bulk as well, and have no issue with that, if it's your normal purchase amount.  Quit fuc&ing with me (LOL), you any everyone else knows the people I was directing that to.  I had someone in on Saturday with a car stuffed with TP and I told them what I thought.

    The thing is that eventually all these people will have bought up enough to last them years and I suspect they will quit buying.

    Will the bottom drop out of the market then? Will the lack of sales put the toilet paper industry on the rocks?

    Same with hand sanitizer.

    Real Absinthe is not readily available in the States...

    About the time Moulin Rouge (the movie) came out I was able to buy some from Europe in a plain brown wrapper.

    Boy that stuff can clear out the sinuses.

    Never saw the green fairy.

    I've always wanted one of these to fiddle with.

    I prefer it not be in restored shape so I can restore it.

    I may be to late in life to find one of these since radio stations quit using them a long time ago.

    If I had a choice it would be belt drive.

     

    I am a machinist and even though I am retired I have still kept a couple of manual machines to do hobby stuff with. (It's really hard giving up working metal).

    Fixed income etc so it wants to be a cheap thing.

    I have a couple of KLF-10s that I bought new to barter with if you want to barter.

    I currently have a Rek-O-Kut belt drive with a regular size platter that I haven't gotten totally done,  but I have always thought a 16" platter would be something.

     

    Got one?

    Well when your grandkids show up with RSV pneumonia and need critical care and can’t get that because the hospital pediatric ICU is filled with sick old people then  you will have your own personal validation. I sincerely hope that does not happen to you.......  but that is happening right now in Italy. We can be the country that ‘slows’ the spread of this virus or the country that allows the virus to plow it healthcare systems under. It is not the deaths, it is how many deathly ill people can we care for at one time.

    Death panels for the elderly ?

    Surprised he didn't recommend McDonalds......want fries with that test?

    It wasn't just a recommendation.

    He had the CEOs of all the big box store chains there in the Rose Garden and each got their turn to step up to the microphone and say their piece.

    This is a national effort.

    You mean like pneumonia? How many elderly die from that each year? What details and what proof of your premise about never before and unparalleled danger and the rest is there on this? Lots of people deathly ill and what as a percentage of population do you consider lots? There was a time when something like the Bubonic Plague would run it's course with horrible consequences and no way top stop it but today these things can be fought. Italy has an older average population than any other European country.    Elderly are by nature less resistant to ALL disease so of course they will die more often from these types of things and that is the nature of life itself. There is a far greater percentage of older people who die each year than young people and there is nothing that will ever change that. I hear 6:00 news channels speaking and not the reality that is reflected by cold hard statistics. Calm down and quit watching and believing the TV set.

     

      Reading an article just now that states 4/5 of all the deaths in the EU are among those who are over 65. So yes based on that you could easily say 4/5 of all resultant Wuhan flu deaths will be in that same group and it will not change. That same group will die of something far more often because that is just life. I am 67 so I am now in that group but I am not going to let some hyped up thing scare me to death.

     

      If it were young and the children dying the most darned right I would pay far more attention than old people. The young have not lived long enough to become old where each and every one of us, if we make it that far and most do, will unavoidably die. No cure for age. "perfect killing machine for the elderly" is media BS. Age is the perfect killing machine of the elderly.

     

    Check out stats on The Spanish Flu.
