    I'm lucky, we can work from home with no real problems (as long as the network holds up). I truly feel for the people whose work must be done at work, because a lot of them have young children and cannot afford to lose income. What do they do when the schools and daycares close? I hope they have strong nuclear family or community bonds.

    They’ll be out there with un-zeroed rifles and no training. It’ll be glorious.

    I just try to shoot pistol and AR weekly and would like to be able to continue that practice without having to dip into my “oh shit” ammo. I make a large number of smaller ammo purchases, interspersed by several bulk ones, over the course of the year generally

    North Carolina is up to 23 confirmed cases, where the handful of others pending testing results.

    Meanwhile my email is burning up from work, and I have pissed off a few people, I told them I have not been called back in, and it's the weekend, and this is my time.

    Panic buying ammo right now is the stupidest thing I could possibly imagine. If you have disposable income you should be investing it to take advantage of this terrible market. I don’t think you can shoot at the virus.

    I just wish we could we could go like 4-5 years, just once, without a goddam crisis of some sort in this country.

    Schools are closed here and I have a strong nuclear family but I am not exposing my parents right now so I will not be asking them to watch my kid. More just working from home and having Disney+ running all day. Screen time recommendations are going out the window for a while.

    I feel really bad for people who can’t work from home and have kids, that’s going to be incredibly painful for them and the repercussions will be felt throughout the economy. So many people live paycheck to paycheck and those are the ones who don’t have jobs where they can work from home or they work in the service industry which is going to be crushed by this. Next, people aren’t going to be able to pay their rent/mortgage so who’s going to get the bailout? People are going to riot if it’s just the banks again. You’ll see a surge in Bernies popularity even though he basically won’t have a shot at the presidency. How Trump responds will make or break his re-election bid, nothing else matters anymore.

    Chainsaws have been wiped out at a local shop in the last week too.

    Jeez I just checked SG ammo a few days ago and everything was in stock. Now everything is all bought up. I placed an order for 200 rds of the few remaining 300 blk they had. It was the only caliber I am short on. My local store has no toilet paper and no bleach. Why the hell arepeople hoarding bleach? People have gone nuts around here.
