What chaps me about this whole situation is that for the past several days the damn news media has been telling people to "stock up". Because of this there have been runs on various items at almost all stores.

We DON'T NEED TO STOCK UP!!!. Just purchase what you normally do and there will be plenty to go around.

@11:48 sounds like they waited too long to stock up. There were 100 people in line at the Pearl Walmart at 6:00 AM when they opened. I got mine. If you haven't got yours you are dumb and deserve what happens to you. What sort of irresponsible parent doesn't prep for their kids?

The supply chain is going to be seriously disrupted. The factories in China are closed. The factories in the USA and Canada will be closed this week. Kroger and Walmart will be closed or employees wont show up for their shift. This is real. People are dying. Wait until both Tater and Trump test positive.

I was pretty ticked off to see the empty shelves at the Kroger this weekend. What the hell, people? Oh well, at least I can grab a bunch of JFP papers to use once I run out of toilet paper.

We'll never know exactly when this thing started because there is no test to see who has had it and recovered. My guess is it started late this fall (Nov-Dec) in this country and started making headlines in Jan-Feb when the Chinese finally admitted it existed there.

almost missed my Red Beans said...

Why the hell is there a run on water? Yesterday at Walmart they pulled a pallet of water out and there was almost a fight as the natives swarmed and began pushing and shoving and the pallet emptied in less than a minute. Today there was no water except Smartwater at $3 a bottle. One dude emptied the shelf and bought 4 1/2 cases (84 bottles). Turn the damn tap on. They put out four bags of dried red beans and this lady snagged them all and turned to me and said she had never cooked red beans and asked if I knew how. She graciously let me have one bag in exchange for showing there was a recipe on the bag. It's Monday and I do red beans and rice every other week and this bitch was about to deprive me of my Supper. Yeah, I'm from New Orleans.

Water, seriously? Legal papers, seriously?

Morons!

Those who hoard toilet paper will wipe for those who have guns.

I've got some old Sears catalogs stored somewhere. The MS Link and JFP may have to suffice as well.

This is Mississippi. Everyone has guns. Some of us just don't broadcast 24/7 to compensate for other shortcomings.

The fear of not having enough is powerful indeed. I read an article by some psychologists who discussed the tendency to control our feelings through large, bulk purchases. Considering society as a whole has been running at just below crises level long before COVID-19, it's a wonder people aren't shooting each other for cutting in line at gas stations.

On another note, I wonder where the vaxxers will stand when a vaccine comes out for this one? Will they bend, or will they double-down? Will the fact that it's their own health on the line, rather than their children's, change anything? Or will they get vaccinated, but not have their children vaccinated, and rationalize it away with the self-righteous belief that they are putting their children's health first?

There will never be a vaccine for Covid-19. This strain has proven able to reinfect until it kills you. It is unnatural. That characteristic makes it clear that this is an engineered bioweapon behind the capabilities of China.

No need to fight over water. Boil your water and place a lemon in it to alkaline it if necessary. It will more than likely be better than the expensive bottles you’re fighting over!

Prepping = Having this stuff well before a disaster hits.

"Standing in line at Walmart at 6AM" = Panic hysteria purchasing. You and your family don't need 2 years worth of TP. Period.

Wait isn't this a hoax perpetrated by the Media and Democrats. Why is this happening in Mississippi? We overwhelmly believe the president.who's buying all this toilet paper?

Anonymous said...

12:15: You are nuts. No reason to panic buy. Kroger's stock did better than most today. They will make money off this crisis. Kroger will not close. Oh, and your guns and Amendment II will not prevent C-19.

12:53 p.m., wild speculation about the virus starting in the US. Clearly first identified in Wuhan, an inland Chinese city, and you guess that it originated in the US? Based on what, Chinese propaganda? Bizzare. If it originated in the US, why on earth would it be in China as an epidemic before showing up in the US. There is zero evidence that it originated in the US.

Kremlin Gremlin said...

No, I'm Mr. Wiffle, like the gun Elmer Fudd hunts deer with. You must be thinking of that toilet paper guy on TV, you wascally wabbit.

@ 6:08

I didn't say it originated in the US and if you're naive enough to believe the Chinese info you really have problems. I contend it started in China in early to mid fall and didn't take long to get here afterwards. Learn to read before you post.

Congratulations, 12:15. You got yours and you are now part of the problem.

Let me let you into a little secret.
Get some Tamaflu. It make the Flu less severe.
It should work on C-19.
You can thank me later.

Live Science

In hospitals, doctors and nurses are sometimes treating COVID-19 patients with the antiviral drug oseltamivir, or Tamiflu, which seems to suppress the virus' reproduction in at least some cases. This is somewhat surprising, Michigan Tech virologist Ebenezer Tumban told Live Science, as Tamiflu was designed to target an enzyme on the influenza virus, not on coronaviruses. The National Institutes of Health has begun a clinical trial at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to test the antiviral remdesivir for COVID-19, the agency announced Feb. 25. In China, doctors are also testing an array of other antivirals originally designed to treat Ebola and HIV, Nature Biotechnology reported.

Come November 1 we'll look up at all the trees, early morn, and know where all the T.P. went. Then there'll be a run on butane stick-lighters.

@2:34 You are incorrect. Doctors have said once you recover you have immunity, likely for at least a year and possibly for the rest of your life. Do some research.

Holy crap there are some real idiots on here

11:42, I don't know what "doctors" you are referring to, but here's some actual research for you:

Kingfish is really letting be the world see that it doesn't take a virus to make you a special person.

Memeing "Wuhan" virus isn't going to change the fact that this bioweapon is beyond the PRC's capabilities and that the Iranian elite (who were the target) have only strengthened their grip on their nation.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
