My neighborhood grocery store was nearly out of milk and frozen pizzas. The TP aisle was decimated, like the zombie apocalypse had diarrhea. Bizarrely, the fresh mushrooms and bulk potatoes were completely gone. Everything else was fully stocked, and employees were stocking shelves while I was there. 

I went at 7:30am today. Was crazy.  No TP. I fully expect things will continue to get worse before they get better.  Good luck out there!

Headphones always help me in crowds. 

“We have a nice selection of elderly people in our small neighborhood, so I’ve stocked up on rice, beans, pasta, farro, a variety of Aisian noodles, canned vegetables, shelf milk, coconut milk, butter, frozen vegetables, lots of flatbread in the freezer, etc.”

Paper towels down the toilet bowl is a bona fide recipe for disaster. I thought about this the other day and it occurred to me that maybe if it comes down to paper towel etc I need a diaper genie for disposal of things that CANNOT go down the toilet.

I tried to go to the grocery store after work on Wednesday, because I actually needed things. This grocery store is pretty much always busy but 7pm on a weekday is usually safe. It was so busy I couldn’t find a spot and I refused to go in because I’d definitely have a panic attack in those crowds.

From the pic:  Looks like some of it you eat, some you drink.

You’re really not sure why? Just take a rough estimate on how many Americans you think even have the remotest, faintest idea of what RNA is and why it matters in this conversation.

Gotta love how conservatives act like Europe is just some sort of moneyless hellhole where companies like Bayer don’t exist.

Do the Trumps or DeVos’ have interests in any of the abovementioned companies? 

I had to get a genetic test to rule out a genetic disorder as the cause of irregular test results. My insurance company didn’t want to pay LabCorp and it would have cost me nearly $20,000 for the rarely given test. After months of me and my Dr. arguing with my insurance company that it was necessary — the insurance…

The other bottleneck is sample collection. In metro Atlanta, home of the CDC, local hospital systems have been warning community physicians all week not to send patients to them for coronavirus testing. They’re only testing admitted, possibly critically ill, patients and their own employees. Most physician offices are…

I, a white man, had been told at different times by Quest Diagnostics that I was pregnant and that I should get tested for sickle cell.

Gotta love how conservatives act like Europe is just some sort of moneyless hellhole where companies like Bayer don’t exist. 

Dude has the emotional range of a fucking 2x4. It’s like someone took the Maximilian robot from The Black Hole, drew a face on it, and told it to try and do interviews.

““Frankly, we’re the world leader in infectious diseases.””

Yeah, he’s about to be right, but not in the way that he thinks. 

Conspicuously absent from anything Trump or Pence has said is this:

My hope is that Bernie uses the debate to try and come to some sort of unifying “gentleman’s agreement” with Biden involving progressive policy concessions that will placate his rabid followers. Anything else at this point would be idiotic, because barring some sort of black swan event, the math is just not on his…

Indeed. Put aside the 30-year congressional career with zero to show for it (unless you are super into naming post offices). Put aside that he has twice now run for the nomination of a party he refuses to join (which you may not mind, but as a lifelong Democrat, I find this asshole’s superiority complex on this point p…

Thank you!! I have said before I love Bernie’s ideas but I can’t stand the messenger. I loved Elizabeth Warren’s campaign. She said the exact things Bernie stands for but she knew it wasn’t her time this election cycle. And certainly she was right to acknowledge the role sexism played and the bad treatment she got at…
