What's that??? Gatorade powder? Looks like, I just put a 76oz canister in my Amazon cart, one time purchase, $10.99.
I wouldn't say that picking up a small supply of non-perishables is overreacting, just being prudent. If supply lines go to shit, I don't wanna be the one wiping my ass with pine cones, literally and figuratively speaking.Y'all don't think ya' might be overreacting just a wee bit?
Kinda' like trying to guide an errant asteroid to kill the fly buzzing around your sandwich?
Another funny one, hand sanitizer is 99% sold out on Amazon. It's all either back-ordered, or marked up to nutty degrees.Latest news -
Company wide email about this virus from Risk Management/Safety Department sent out this morning.
As I said a few days ago, I was able to get surgical masks from a well know pharmacy chain. Yesterday after work, went to the same store, all out. Went to 2 other stores from the same chain. No go. All out.
Amazon is threatening to remove any seller that would mark up the face masks too high on its site.
Went to Sam's Club (no Costco here) after that and pick up a pack of 40 bottles of water (16.9 oz each) and the stock was running low.
Get ready folks. It will be a bumpy ride.
Just in case you missed it: minimum effective mask is N95. "Surgical masks" won't cut it, unfortunately.As I said a few days ago, I was able to get surgical masks from a well know pharmacy chain.

N95s went out of stock most places quite a while ago.
Svnla, where are you located?I know but N95 masks are harder to find than a virgin at the Kardashian compound.
why the run on bottled water? Is covid19 supposed threaten municipal water supply? Even if it does... I would think boiling it should be enough to kill any virus

More likely that most people already have some dried goods on hand, but don't generally have bottled water as they don't generally foresee the need for it. When it looks like shit's about to hit the fan, you take stock of what you need, and if you need water, water's what you get.Because people are dumb?
I for one have this thing called a faucet which dispense's water which while it may not taste great is safe to drink and almost certainly will continue to flow.
I don't even think about stocking up on bottle water because I always have 3-4 cases at the house. For $3 for 40 bottles, why not?Stocking up on bottled water prior to a hurricane for example which has a decent chance of actually having an effect on water supply makes sense.
This is more like the semi-panic you see in every grocery store when a 3-inch snowfall is incoming.
I was just trying to understand the stock piling. I can see it in some places...I mean, if stores close, etc...Deep South of the US. Graduated from Red Neck R Uz University with sucka lum sum designation.

Just a very cheap insurance policy. Nobody should be expecting Armageddon but it's more for the stuff you didn't plan for.I was just trying to understand the stock piling. I can see it in some places...I mean, if stores close, etc...
as far as covid19 goes: From the choice of aspirin,ibuprofen,tylenol what is most effective to giving some relief from fever,discomfort associated with the flu like symptoms?

I carry around drink tumbler but sometimes bottle water is just easier. I can respect people who don't buy bottle water for environmental reasons.I can think of any number of reasons to avoid buying bottled water but to each his own. I have a high quality ceramic filter myself and mostly use a refillable glass bottle.

Oh, to be clear, I didn't buy the bottled water to be drinking it normally. It's literally just there for if something happens to my electricity for an extended period of time (well water). I usually just have a bottle I fill up out of the tap.Yeah that my main reason along with cost ... even if cheap its still a lot more expensive then filtered. Don't get me wrong I do buy bottles once in awhile myself.
