A couple weeks ago, the virus was a hoax.
Then, there was a task force.
Now, DOLTUS calls a national emergency.
So, the hoax is a national emergency?
Hmmmm.

I was in a Food Lion yesterday and they still had a lot of TP. It's one of my go to places before snow hurricanes etc. Dollar General stores too but they have a few items of a lot of things not massive numbers of each.

Stay Safe!

Maybe you save three or four bucks getting stuff in person at Costco but that's an hour or two of your time plus exposure to craziness and potentially the virus.
If you can afford it, do yourself a favour and shop online.

I get you. I'm not looking for logic, either. Just sharpening talking points for some I I know who think the covid thing is overblown. And, I'd guess a majority of those voted for "it". Just wanted a needle to use if they blather about it again.

(11,648 posts)Fox went from blaming the Democrats for inventing a crisis to take down the president to blaming the Democrats for not doing enough in this national emergency in a nanosecond.

If you really wanted this to spread you wouldn't be prepared to test people.
Mitch McConnel throws his hands up and goes home in a national emergency.

They must feel rapturous.
