I have a bidet so yeah we use almost no TP, but just for fun I checked and Lowes was sold out of those too.

still tho TP works as backup Kleenex, and there was none of that left. no cold medicine, no water, nothing. I have a well with a filter, bidet, and I live in the country with chickens that lay eggs, 2 chest freezers full of beef and venison, and a pantry full of enough dry good to ride out a 3 month quarantine. as well as a root cellar with all of last years harvest canned up in salsa, pickles, relish, etc. and enough guns to hold off anyone god forbid it gets to that.

but if I was a city slicker without a bidet id be running for TP in a 48 pack as well.

last year I was a "cooky prepper lite guy", now I have people saying I was smart lol.

Democrats are such pussies!

49% of the Democrats polled were 54 & under, 51% were 55 & older versus 60% of registered voters being 54 & under and 40% being 55 & older. That has to skew the results substantially.

The National Security Council tweeted just before midnight: “Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE. There is no national lockdown. @CDCgov has and will continue to post the latest guidance on #COVID19.”

The NSC tweet was related to the hacking and the release of disinformation, according to one of the people. The government realized Sunday that there had been a cyber intrusion and false information was circulating.

China, Russia or Iran, whoever wanted to cause a ruckus. Though according to the reports, it wasn't really noticeable. So I guess it went from a turtle's pace to a snail's pace.

Thanks for digging through the data. That's an important observation.

One thing I find interesting is that Conservatives tend to value the trait of obedience more than Liberals. However, I suppose this also strongly depends on the source of the commands or recommendations.
