Jesus the panicking in this thread is ridiculous. It's not going to be the end of the world. You won't have to take up arms and learn how to hunt game and fish. The Spanish flu in 1918 had a death rate of 2.5% and affected over a 1/3 of the population, and yet here we are, and most people probably never even heard of the Spanish flu outbreak (especially before this virus came to be).

This virus will be less deadly than that one, (as a percentage anyway) well under 1% once testing catches up to all the cases. And many cases will never show up because people already recovered without showing symptoms. Hopefully a test will show who has already recovered and thus has relative immunity, so that some of those people can help others, especially the elderly, and we know how many are left at risk.

Yes. This is what I’m hoping for also.

That sucks. It seems like it was originally just third party sellers.

I can live without the latest Blu-ray releases for right now, priorities, priorities!
wish I could order on Amazon Fresh though, still days later and no windows open, and probably will never be, I'm finished with trying, got to go to the grocery store.

I thought it was as well, and they haven't released a new statement yet that I'm aware of. I think the wording used in the initial 'press release' was pretty confusing.

what's wrong going out for a walk? just don't get near anyone - some douche exercising/jogging yesterday practically plowed me down (f***er) when I went out for an afternoon walk.

There's a big difference between shipping being suspended for FBA sellers and Amazon's items arriving late because of supply issues.

that one douchenozzle (spring breaker) featured last night on NBC Nightly News stating he didn't have a care in the world or even of the coronavirus raised the ire of a lot of social media folk - talk about selfish and stupid.

I wonder how many of those people just never bothered taking their lights down, and just haven't turned them on since Christmas.

Although the data represents March 17th numbers, still an interesting chart to put pandemics in perspective. Of course COVID-19 is ongoing...

There are times when doing too much is literally TOO MUCH. "A virus that has nothing to do with bowel movements? BUY ALL THE TOILET PAPER". People are so dumb.

I'm not taking it seriously? My god, I'm on the front line of this thing so don't lecture me. You can sit at home. I cannot. The infrastructure of this country doesn't maintain itself! Or maybe you don't want things like power, water or phone and internet service, let alone hospital care or even groceries? If we want this to end sooner rather than later and not also destroy other peoples lives through job, savings loss, etc. then hard decisions have to be made. A lack of immunity only means more will die later while others lose their livelihoods and suffer that way. I doubt they want to work until they're 95 because some idiot in China thought bioweapons were a good thing to develop.

No one likes the general that ordered their son to take that hill and he died, but you can't win a war by sticking your head in the sand. Cowards during war time used to be imprisoned or worse. Now they're coddled and given time outs. I'm seeing a hell of a lot of spineless people on here panicking when nothing has happened to them beyond not being able to buy toilet paper this week because idiots who don't know Corona from dysentery are hoarding it all.

You can call that baloney all you want, but it's the absolute truth. People should be using their time at home to do something more useful than shaking their legs in fear, IMO. Check on your neighbors. Start a neighborhood watch. Hell, say a prayer to whatever god you believe in. Any of that is more helpful than whining at people keeping your country running for you.

That sounds like it might be unrelated. They should have already had their launch shipments in for that before the warehouse shipment announcement and some people are reporting that it has shipped. So it could be that Nintendo couldn't meet demand due to the Switch cartridge shortages that have been delaying physical Switch games.

Well, I can tell you that the Prime order I placed yesterday won't be here until Saturday-Monday. So shipping is slow as well.

Same. 4 to 5 days for most Prime orders now.

ronboster · 03-19-2020, 02:48 PM

In case it hasn't been mentioned, products like disinfectants are taking a priority for prime order shipments vs the phone case I ordered yesterday, that won't arrive till Monday. I completely understand and am fine with that.

Almost all of our company is being furloughed for the next 60 days without pay.
The few people who are left to work will have their hours cut drastically. Could be longer than 60 days, but I hope not. The city declared a state of emergency yesterday They can call for a curfew and rationing of gasoline if they need to.

Scottishguy · 03-19-2020, 02:54 PM

Managed to get myself into Sainsburys here at 7am due to my own disabilities for some bits and pieces. Sainsbury's being a supermarket chain here in Britain, they took action starting today to only allow the elderly, disabled and vulnerable in for the first hour.

The elderly people despite having an hour moved in very hurriedly, though buying of course in a normal fashion. It seemed evident to me from how they moved about the store some probably hadn't been eating properly in days. I was nearly in tears guy's, struggling to hold it in.

What some people have done on this island is f**king disgusting! Where is your civic duty? Where is the Britain that endured aganist the Nazis?

Officials Say: Gun background checks double in Colorado amid coronavirus crisis. Preppers, housewives and ranchers are among those seeking firearms.
