What I was saying is that I've never seen the world shut down over a human virus in my life. But yes, I'm only 28 so I've had significantly less life experience than others.Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 3:38 pm Your life? Try my life,almost double your age. We've had many illnesses and diseases that wiped out many people in a short period of time in the past including the Spanish flu in 1918,which apparently killed 50-100 million which I find difficult to wrap my head around. But did they shut everything down back then like they are now ? I don't know.

Just though I'd check in and make sure we're all healthy. There may be a run on toilet paper and canned goods, but not seeds. I started my garden yesterday (in the greenhouse). Unbelievable weather, -3 at night 14 during the day.

Re: March 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
9/11 was up there in it's uncertainty level for awhile life changed but got back to normal. This is a different war a health one. Again life will get back to normal eventually we'll have a better knowledge of what to do should this happen again in the future. The spanish flu I'm not sure what was done back then.

While this is a serious issue at home and abroad, the level of frenzy I see everywhere is not warranted. For example, Buying excessive amounts of toilet paper is not going to help anyone hoard off the virus or any other type of flu.

Re: March 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
This weather has been a blessing for sure. I have a family member in retail and they said the warehouses are full of TP, it's just that enough cannot be delivered fast enough as many companies only have a few delivery days per week and the HOARDING continues. So this shortage is a direct result of greedy people. selfish people and hoarders and profiteers. That needs to stop and the best posts on social media are the public shaming of these types.

Re: March 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
how are you feeling today? Dont know your age but I've assumed relatively young? Not to assume its covid 19, but a lot of us going to get it at some point so might as well be now. Gain immunity hopefully. Look after yourself and feel better soon!

Re: March 2020 Forecasts and Discussions
The spanish flu was about the same, but I dont think they had ventilators or anything. Unfortunately it bears a major resemblance. I wonder what people hoarded back thenSardisbcwx wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 8:45 pm 9/11 was up there in it's uncertainty level for awhile life changed but got back to normal.

Reached 17.8c in south Sardis just incredible, was able to find milk @ Shoppers out here in south Sardis. Save On had only skim yuck! and that silk almond. Got a couple of those but then found 3% after, limit 1 per customer. Feels like a Sunday or holiday by evening with everything closing early.
