The other night my wife, not the biggest fan of guns, starts talking about “what if’s” and asks me how many rounds of ammo I have and I tell her that “I have ~ 750 rounds for my AR.” She asks “is that enough?” If 750 rounds of 556 isn’t enough, all the toilet paper in the world isn’t going to make things any better.

That's funny and pretty true to how the media is handling this

IMHO this is being blown out of proportion. Tens of thousands of people die from the flu every year all over the world.

The weather is warming up and if we run out of skid paper we can go outside and use a hose. A friend and I just finished butchering a steer so meat won't be an issue have plenty of bourbon, cigars. and ammo. At least gas is cheap first time it's been below $2/gal in a long time.

The problem is this virus is spreading rapidly. The medical profession’s concern is an overwhelming number of people needing treatment but not enough beds and or staff to treat the sick. We say that can’t happen but it already has in Italy.

Covid 19 is not the same as the flu.

Look at it this way: there is an effective vaccine for the flue and there are treatments that reduce the effects of the flue and still, as you said, tens of thousands of people die every year. There is no vaccine for Covid 19 and there are no effective treatments for Covid 19. And a Covid 19 vaccine won’t be available anytime soon.

In spite of vaccines and treatments the flue is a killer, imagine how much worse the numbers would be if there were not vaccines and treatment. If anyone wants to get a sense of what can happen here one only needs to take a look at what’s going on in Italy where treating Covid 19 is consuming virtually all of the country’s medical services.

I was thinking this morning (hey - it could happen)

My daughter called and was on her way to the Southern Tier to visit a friend outside of Belmont, and was going stop at a Angus beef farm. Meat shelves are empty here too, might explain the need for TP.

Her friend told her the hording hasn't been bad there - practical country folks, (I do miss living in a town that says "welcome to" it on both sides of the sign)

So she was going to stop in the little store and try to get us some paper towels for the puppy's house breaking -

but - what I got to thinking was - maybe hoping is a better word - as all these hoarding nit wits fill their garages and basements with more TP and paper towels than they will use in a decade - Maybe- just maybe - the paper companies will have to cut more pulp due to demand and thereby create more habitat for Grouse and woodcock

so - I have changed my attitude on this- I went to the store yesterday - saw the empty shelves and bad tempers - and thought the idiots should be quarantined for mental reasons -

today - I'm telling everyone - the world will end unless you rent a climate controlled storage unit and FILL it with paper products - they are soft - so just cram them in there
BUY BUY BUY

Things could be worse!! We could all be stuck using this Russian TP I got in Russia and Mongolia that is as thin and abrasive as it looks.
