patriot 7,197 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 With the pandemic raging, I wanted to take a minute to tell all my bros on S-12 to hang in there and don't let the fake news get you down. We'll get this licked. Stay safe. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patriot 7,197 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I just got my 2nd and final shingles vaccine today. I'll be sick as a dog in 2 days, but I won't have to worry about shingles. I'll probably take a couple days off work so I don't scare the hell out of them being sick. Not contagious, just my body rteacting to the vaccine like last time. I went to the grocer's today to pick up a couple things. Nothing big. I keep a good bit on hand. Shelves were pretty empty. I saw some dumbass woman with a bunch of boxes of cold medicine at the checkout. WTF does she thing that is going to do? Ya can't fix stupid. The good part is all the light traffic and not many cops watching the roads. The highways are moving fast around here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 One thing this has, I hope, shown this country is that you can't depend on a hostile communist regime for many of the essential items a country needs to thrive and survive. China is not our friend and the faster we divest ourselves from dependence on them the better. Praying for all here and our country. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeaky 135 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I hope nations gather to make China pay for their recklessness, and make them "lose face" somehow. I also hope this hasn't been some sort of trial balloon, and the Chicoms will release something worse after having seen how well corona affected the world. If so, I bet their thinking is "what's a few thousand lives when we have at least a billion people?" I hope this wasn't an attempt at some sort of biological version of Pearl Harbor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 China should be billed for this. The ENTIRE cost for the ENTIRE world, and FORCED to pay, no matter how many generations it takes. One way to force them to pay would be to subtract it from any loans they've made to countries infected by their runaway bio-weapon. ...as a penalty enact a 100% embargo on all goods leaving China. Let 'em dry up and blow away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I don't know what to say. Really. All these people hoarding should have their asses kicked. Literally. This shit is just unreal. Yes, China should be held accountable for this shit. Just as with the other shit sandwich viruses that came from them. But they will not. China's grasp is far too powerful. Now, as for the US, we CAN come away from this with our economic heads out of our asses IF we learn to start cutting reliance on them. We shall see. But I believe to many Politicians as well as Business's have deep pockets with them. AND I hope the media gets it in their ass for all of these maniacal and relentless BS reporting they are doing. Stay safe, stay smart and this too shall pass. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I work retail at a supply store, also an "essential business." It's been pandelerium for the past week! Every single day of the last seven we have FAR exceeded sales from last year's Black Friday. My days haven't changed at all- go to work, go to the store. We did get a pick up order from a restaurant we would normally eat-in, still good food. I do make sure to wash my hands thoroughly before heading home, at least. I certainly don't want my 80-yr-old Mom to catch it somehow. Her health is generally good, but we share a house now because she has had some issues in the past. I also carry far more regularly than I used to, and have my lil' Shockwave in the car now, too. I wish there was some kind of speed-loader for it, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Nemo 883 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Still able to get filters for my mask around here. I'm running a P100 rated for acid vapor. Entertainment business is tits-up. Snagged the last 3 boxes of auto match, and the buckshot and AR/AK are gone. Glad I put up 4500 in 5.56 strippers when I did. AK's and S-12's are on hot standby. Repacked the freezer while everyone was fighting over toilet paper and bottled water. Won't be too bad if this goes six months, but will need resupply if it goes longer. Don't want to hit the bunker if I can help it. Most of the stocks are holding pretty good as they're in foods and paper, so we have money. Mom is so glad I'm at home with her right now! She'd be real scared if she was alone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patriot 7,197 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think we've had quite enough of Chinese curses for awhile. All counrties affected by this escaped Chinese bioweapon known as Covid 19 need to tally up the total cost of this pandemic as close as they can and subtract it from any loans they have with China, as well as use it pay off any money owed to them for goods and/or services, then bill them for the balance, payable immediately. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Photoguy 202 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I agree with the notion about East Germany, but we still don’t have physical barriers up between states...yet. The continuing closures of anything...well, fun or freedom-related for the little guys while watching the political elite still enjoy gathering and doing whatever it is that they do is chaffing my ass ever more so with each passing day, but we’re still here. The panic-buying and hoarding situation took me somewhat off-guard due to its suddenness, but it is what it is. The price gouging is also unreal. A local gun shop here in Janesville was selling a Springfield Armory Hellcat w/ OSP cutout for $750! MSRP for this is right around $550. I just found a bunch of ammo at a Fleet Farm over in Delavan, but I’m sure the reseller-minded hoarder fucks will have that picked clean soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Wife sent me out for milk because she needs it to take some of her medication. Got to the local store before 8:00 am and a 2 block line was evident. Got in line and a person from New York City told me to get 6 ft away from him. The funny thing was he was only 3 ft away from the guy in front of him. I told him NO! just to give him a moment of helplessness. I then told him I will give you your space but you need to get a grip. If you are that fearful about getting sick, you should not be here in line. Beaches, Bars ,Food ect all closed.. The Snow birds are not happy . As for me, I have everything with the exception of Case lube which is coming in a few days. I will tumble some 556 today. and do a little painting on the house. You all be well, keep your cool and (Act do not react) . Home is away the best place to be , because that is where the wife gives me clear direction.
