I was disgusted since I could not get the Charmin with a red bear on the package, I had to opt for a blue bear. It was a real zoo. Shopping took ten minutes, check out an hour.

The CDC is only now revealing that it is already so widely distributed across the USA that we are on our own. Once it really gets going and you get sick, the medical system will be overwhelmed.

A pandemic like this will strongly depress both Chinese supply and US travel demand in an economy already struggling to handle a mountain of unpayable fiat currency obligations, thanks to our Fed.
