Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I will have to be brave and venture out soon.

I must build a duck house. Things being as they are I need to go cheap/free. My feed store is 8 blocks from me. I am going to seek out pallets from their south side stacks. Their pallets are at least uniform at 40x48.
I have some (hopefully enough) random pieces of thin plywood. I hope to use it for the floor. I also have plenty of leftover metal roofing.
I do not have ANY 2x4's.

Haven't heard an update yet, it was 219 yesterday. I think they will announce more after their meeting this afternoon. My kid scared me this morning, said his chest was hurting, turns out it was just gas LOL. I was ready to hunt for the thermometer.
He asked if he had the corna. Poor thing.

There are lots of comments on the web about Covid-19, some right out on the lunatic fringe and some a bit more balanced. I liked this offering.

I dunno Shad. In the US it's the millennials that are getting sick according to statistics I saw. Interesting take on it all though.

I wonder how much of this craziness is because of the way China responded. We didn't see this so much with SARS or MERS. I feel like the media is a rabid dog on this as well, creating hysteria.

If you have a HD near you, they should be delivering still. You can order online and have it delivered or pick it up. Good luck.

I have some relatives that live in the city about an hour away that told me multiple times when visiting, “y’all know they sale eggs at the store?” Well they called me this weekend panicking about stores have no eggs can they buy some from us.....

I do. It is just across the street from the feed store. I cannot justify the cost of delivering. The 2x4's are just inside the door so.....hold my breath?
I will look at the pick it up option.

I know they do that's why I am trying them now. My meat dug eggs are still in the bator though
