    Not a school but the below is an indicator of the reach:

    "As much as my grandparents loved creating the whisky that became Maker’s Mark®, they also loved welcoming visitors to our historic distillery to show them around.

    That’s why what I’m about to say represents one of the toughest decisions we’ve had to make down here at Star Hill Farm. Due to ongoing concerns about public health and safety created by COVID-19, we think it’s in everyone’s best interest to temporarily suspend distillery visits by the general public. So we’ll be closing to visitors on Monday, March 16 until further notice - although rest assured, we’ll still be making your whisky. Just without an audience."
    For you MM drinkers it sounds like in the near-term the supply chain is solid.

    A little panicked at the moment. She had interactions this week with a few of physicians they have tested. They haven't named names yet. The hospital said they will give them more info as soon as they are allowed to. 

    Fortunately we are "young" and healthy if we have it. Just have to be laid up in the house for a while.

    Charity event we support cancelled our drive tonight. 

    We supply backpacks of food for children to take home for their families on weekends.

    Been doing this a couple years. Understand the logic, but still hate it.

    Earlier in the thread I posted a chart of some data that showed the mortality rate for those under <30 was essentially zero. What we didn't know was how many folks in that data had actually been tested. This chart shows that in South Korea (where they have been testing thousands of people per day) that the young adult crowd is massively infected but feeling fine and thus spreading the virus to everybody else.

    My buddy who lives in Berlin said it’s crazy at the stores as well. Everyone is expecting a full quarantine.

    If you run out of TP, don't panic.  Start saving empty tubes  =)

    It's Friday so what the heck. Don't laugh though 

    Found myself stranded with empty roll in the w/r, fortunately someone was home and bailed me out. That got me thinking what if I was home alone and literally caught with my pants down s 

    My life hack:
    Well, where there's a will there's a way, unroll the tube and scrunch to soften it...

    You must be a millennial. There was a time when everyone washed dirty cloth diapers. 
    We did that: rinse first, soak in disinfectant then 90 C wash.

    Not a millennial, From what I’ve seen you are maybe 10 years older than me. Regardless I wouldn’t wanna wash nor smell the kinda filth an adult bbq eating male would wipe off onto multiple socks. So I bought a couple 30 packs of TP while they were still available. The way I figure it will get used no matter what so spending $20 on TP for 3 months worth is a small risk/reward I’m willing to take rather than wiping my a$$ with basketball socks

    I stopped in Aldi and people were everywhere. Carts completely full of food. Which is not very common for most people who frequent Aldi. Pepole were grabbing eggs off the cart as the employee was trying to restock them. I've never seen one so busy. I grabbed my 3/12 packs of carbonated water for my wifes Grandma and checked up out of there. 

    I almost went home and gave my deep freeze a hug and a kiss.

    As Americans it’s strange not to have well stocked grocery stores for sure. Being in Florida I’ve seen the hurricane panic buying of bread, water, gas and non perishables but I don’t think I’ve seen meat departments sold out of chicken but I did today. No TP at Publix or Target near me the couple times we went. We saw a Walmart truck on the road today and my wife said I bet there is toilet paper on that truck, looked like a lioness with a gazelle in her sights
