OK, Let Me Get This Straight

[ProfessorGAC]

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.

1. I think you nailed it

[Laelth]

21. +1 n/t

2. I heard that you have to be tested to go into a Walmart or Target

I will not be surprised if something like that starts going around

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Probably So

[rickford66]

6. Just your head examined

8. 😆

12. Went to target yesterday afternoon. No testing, store jammed. No TP or Paper towels.

Our county has not been hit hard yet, only one case, a biker from NY here for bike week. Maybe doing the testing in harder hit areas.

14. Let you in on a little tip I've discovered

Chain grocery stores in poorer areas of town often have what you are looking for.

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.

[Fla Dem]

17. Thanks for the tip. I actually didn't go for TP or PT. Went for a couple of non-essential items.

But once I walked in saw the lines of people checking out, I left without without purchasing. Rarely are there long lines in my Target. Did take a walk down to the paper goods aisle to checkout the situation and saw the empty shelves.

Stay Safe!

18. Makes sense. Poor folks can't afford to hoard.

Just enough to get by, usually.

[underpants]

19. Right. Exactly.

[meadowlander]

25. Also a lot of stores deliver.

They can source stock from across the chain of stores and you don't have to wait in line. You might need to wait another day or two but I haven't even had to do that where I live.

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.

4. If you are looking for logic, don't

You will just make your head hurt.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Too Late

Already hurts. Starting early November 2016!
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.

[imanamerican63]

7. Everything is a hoax!

[NellieStarbuck]

9. And of course he'll never cop to having been wrong

about any of it at any point and will disavow his prior comments.

[marble falls]

10. 2/3's there, Prof - the hoax in the WH is the real emergency!

[dmr]

15. Amen to that! -- The HOAX in the WH is the REAL emergency!

Isolate him to the nearest jail cell.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Well...

...I sure can't argue with that!

[gibraltar72]

11. Was he lying then or is he lying now?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Of course.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Pretty much how Trump handles anything...

[Brainfodder]

22. Fox News World vs. Real World?

[central scrutinizer]

23. With no sense of hypocrisy

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.

[njhoneybadger]

26. Something fucked up is going here. This doesn't make sense even for tRump.

If you really wanted this to spread you would call it a hoax.
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.

[randr]

27. His minions have only heard the hoax part

The rest they ignore at all of our endangerment. They will continue to get and spread the virus as they dance humanity off the edge of a cliff.
They must feel rapturous.
