Fact-check, snopes are also left wing biased. None of these are reliable sources of truth. To some, some news are conspiracy and to some they are the truth. Unless one is awake, they always think odd theory is conspiracy. Everybody is free to express what they believe and none should be prohibited.

Where I live, people buy bottled water to drink all the time in their homes. It is ridiculous. They think that they will be quarantined and need to have bottled water since they "can't" drink tap water.

I wonder if it will make it even harder to reach targeted agents?
On the other hand, it may lead to higher bonuses as some shoppers decide to stay home.

I never understood why people don't just invest in a Reverse Osmosis system, even if they're renting, they can still temporarily install one for no more than $150 on a good sale.

I love Spam! I like it in the morning with eggs and for lunch as "chopped Spam salad" (with mayonnaise and chopped pickles), even for dinner as a "Spamburger" cooked on the grill.@walesmaven wrote:
For the first time since I was "student poor" there is canned Spam in my "staples" cupboard. Glad that they now have a lower sodium option.

I just had a MSC cancel several of my upcoming shops due to COVID-19. So, it has now officially affected me personally.
I do not recall this level of panic and hysteria during any of the previous viral outbreaks like SARS, MERS, Bird-flu, Swine-flu, Zika, Ebola, H1N1, etc. Makes one wonder. My prediction is this virus dies out with the coming warmer weather in the Northern Hemisphere and will be a non-event by May/June... That should give the medical folks time to develop a vaccine, more effective test-kits, etc before the 2020 flu/cold/corona season this coming fall.

Your prediction disagrees with folks with PhD's in subjects like virology...

Humans have been dealing with pandemics for tens of thousands of years. Global travel has accelerated the spread, but modern medicine has become the equalizer.
