I agree. I check my provincial website daily to keep informed and am more diligent about hand washing etc. It's risky to be complacent about it, but I'm not rushing out to spend hundreds of dollars on TP like some fools are. Have you heard about this? People are actually stockpiling toilet paper. Because the one thing you don't want to be without in the event of a flu apocalypse is toilet paper! It's ridiculous. Panic purchasing is becoming more of a virus that covid-19.
panic is a real thing

Well, I suppose if you have lots of money and you just buy it when it's on sale and you have storage space, it could become very valuable when everyone else runs out, but nah, I'm not into it. :)

I'm not into it either. And some of these folks who may be buying low to sell high will likely just end up with a years supply of toilet paper.

I do have a very slight amount of conscience, but if I have make money off people, I don't want to take from those desperate for toilet paper.

Right? Taking advantage of people of people can only bring bad Karma. I think of the douche-bags on Amazon trying to sell Purel for $100.00 a bottle and it just makes me cringe.

Your neighbour is a pepper?! Cool.
Love that TV program. Doomsday Preppers
Not sure if it's funny or sad. Until it's the end of the world and I'm dead and that Prepper lives out his extra few months he earned in a tomb he built.

I'll be OK. I live near Hagerstown. And I'm pretty sure my neighbor's preparations will see me through until I get there.

Forget those creeps. Drop me a line and I'll hook you up for half that much.

Is it really a recession? I think recessions are more to do with economic factors than medical situations. :)

lmao You're the one I referenced in my quotes. Specifically, you said, "Both D.J. and TSX surging now! Recession is likely over.".
