I can’t seem to buy toilet paper from Costco because coronavirus freaks bought it all

I attempted to order from Costco delivery via online app but there’s no replacement available.

Boulder county Costco it's out

That's what you get for following the lame stream media and STILL believe this is a nothing burger...

As a carnivore who poops once a day, a roll lasts me a year, easy. And I have enough 70% isopropyl alcohol to last a year also (0.5L)

I have bags of leaves that I was not able to put on the curb for the final yard waste pickup in November. I am considering keeping those leaves after the pickups start again in April. That's my backup for toilet paper shortages.

Just go to all the portoparties where they are knocking down the old mountain homes for mcmansions and steal the roles u stupedo.

Exactly. I put my Costco order for 64 rolls of TP on Saturday morning. It was delayed a few days, but I got it delivered without mingling with the asymptomatic spreading masses at Costco chaos. Yes, there are cases here in the wild. Surprised it is sold out online. Actually, I'm not.

I’m not on there much. I maybe watch for 10min daily and then change the channel to espn. Don’t like hearing about coronavirus and stock market worries all day

The way COVID-19 is spreading makes no sense for something that sickens everyone it hits. It's sprinkled around dozens of US cities now, 2 or 3 cases in each one. In Colorado there's 3 in Summit County, 2 in Denver, 3 in Douglas County and 1 in El Paso County.

Unless these two or three people per city are traveling around a crazy amount, sitting next to each other on planes, trains and buses, they shouldn't be the only ones getting diagnosed. It should be spreading more quickly within the cities themselves than to other cities.

This is more evidence that probably a lot of people are infected but don't get sick enough to seek a diagnosis.

Of the 3,491 deaths so far, 2,959 - all but about 500 - have still been in the original Hubei province. That's the only place where it sort of got out of control, though even there it sickened only about 1 out of every 1000 people (66,000 cases, 60 million population). The elephant in the room question is what is different about its contagion there as opposed to elsewhere? I think either a large proportion of the population was infected but never diagnosed, or most of the cases there were caught from the contaminated food rather than other people.

Why do you only post irrelevant conspiracies? The affects of the virus largely come from disturbances in infrastructure, which pose the same potential problem irrespective of these sophistries. Do you intend these as anti-jokes? Have you linked your login to a ML bot writing almost human words optimized for clickbait?

With my BioBidet, I never have this problem anymore. And I get a nice, warm washing that leaves me feeling much cleaner.

Try Amazon, bro.

My wife and I went to Costco on Wednesday for our usual monthly stock up of various items. The store was full of people with carts overloaded with toilet paper and bottled water. It was nuts. What do all those people think is going to happen with Covid-19? Worst case, it's just going to be like a bad influenza season.

Tell me more!

I was thinking of getting one of these after injuring my arm and as an alternative to TP due to shortages and to avoid clogging my septic tank.

Prior to Friday or so, testing was only done IF the person had traveled outside the country. It's a standard protocol for lots of diseases. However, if I understood Friday's press conference, it can now be done on request by the doctor.

There are probably thousands or even tens of thousands of people unknowingly walking around with Covid 19. Their symptoms are too mild to even go to a doctor.

The initial study by WHO out of China found that the risk was heavily towards the 60+, preexisting severe illness (COPD, etc), and smokers.

I think the net result in the US will be fewer overall deaths this winter as people take steps to prevent Covid 19 are also preventing the flu, which kills about 100-200 PER DAY in the US alone.

Now I was able to buy toilet paper from Kroger/King Soopers (instead of Costco) but delivery app says no hand sanitizer available and no replacement options to pick from so my shopper can’t get any for me.

See, now, the smart ppl are buying anti-viral kleenex instead of toilet paper

I haven't seen this much panic with people since 9-11, but that was short term once people realized that World War 3 wasn't going to happen. With this coronavirus people are in a paranoid state just about everywhere...insane! I think once this virus burns out with Spring right around the corner with warmer temperatures and longer days, people who overstocked on items like it was the end of the world are going to look pretty foolish.

I think the biggest problem is just the unknown. So people take precautions because of the unknown.

The Spanish Flu fatality rate was 2-3% Thats what folks are scared about. If, big if, the fatality rate of COVID-19 stays in that range and spreads across the globe like the Spanish Flu then thats a serious problem.

Right now its still early and there are a lot of unknowns and it makes sense to take precautions.

But yes....people are really stupid and dont math good. :)

The fatality rate of the elderly population is quite alarming though.
