CoronitaParticipant[quote=sdduuuude]Today’s Home Depot report:
Arrived about 9 am to pick up a few small things. There was a line of people waiting to go into the store.
One of the employees said they were letting 100 people into the store at a time. As one person left, they let one in. Another employee said it was 150. I’m not sure which. I asked if the city was making them do this or the corporation. They said it was a corporate decision.
I waited about 15 minutes to get into the store. There was no line at the cashier.[/quote]
If you’re going to Home Depot each day, could I ask you to pick me up a pipe wrench? Lol. I’m kidding. I do need a pipe wrench, but I’m too scared to go to the store because I know the moment I step foot in any home improvement, tool, or auto store, I’m going to want to stay there for awhile to browse. So I just paid the $6 shipping and ordered stuff from Harbor Freight.
CoronitaParticipantSorry to hear that. I wish the best for them and a speedy recovery.

I don’t think anyone ever changed the differential fluid for the past 26 years and 153k miles. It came out almost black.

Also took out the headliner from my other car to replace the sagging fabric on it. Have to figure out a way to remove all that glue/adhesive.CoronitaParticipant[quote=SDNative2]With today’s rally and press conference, Trump just sealed his re-election. Discuss.[/quote]
Mmm… I don’t know. Biden is looking more and more presidential.
Also, I think what we saw today in the markets is a dead cat bounce. Long term, probably not a big deal either way. Short term, gonna be pretty choppy.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo]What a big @ss stimulus package for the flu.[/quote]
See, this is why I changed my handle. I wish the stimulus package was for me. I could use 2 trillion, lol.

Densely populated areas that primarily use public transportation seem to be hot spots.
A lot of places in south america use “chloroquine”.
SoCal did not need these drastic measures IMO and we should stop them now.[/quote]
DeSantis is taking a lot of heat for his lighter approach.

We are not NYC
The majority of people do not jump on a bus/subway etc.. with 30-50 people on it everyday[/quote]Time will tell. CA and WA first in, first out. Not much you can do except trying to avoid getting sick at the same time everyone else is. And when you do get sick, be as prepared with what you need
CoronitaParticipantCoronitaParticipantMarch 24, 2020 at 9:34 AM in reply to: What did you do with your remain-at-home corona virus day? #815939CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte]Made a quick in-n-out trip to Home Depot Saturday to get supplies for my projects. parking lot was totally packed, but amazingly people found a way to keep distance at the store…it was almost like we had invisible shields around us.
Been working on those projects all weekend…they came together very nicely. I bet my backyard will look the best its ever looked this summer.
I’m trying to get everything I need now cuz I’m not going to want to be anywhere near a store for the next few weeks.
We tried remote ordering groceries from Ralphs. The shopper was very nice…we ordered about 60 items (a normal trip for us) and she kept calling via cell to tell me what was there and what wasn’t so we could substitute. What I didn’t know at the time was it was all tied in through Instacart and they put up roadblocks between the shopper and me for texting…that’s why she had to call.
In the end, I’m not sure it reduced my exposure much because she was touching everything I would have touched and brought them to us in reusable bags that we had to return to her. It cost me $10 delivery plus tip and the only exposure it probably saved me was the airborne exposure of the others in the store…if CV was on any of the items I was just as exposed as if would have went myself.[/quote]

March 24, 2020 at 9:32 AM in reply to: What did you do with your remain-at-home corona virus day? #815903CoronitaParticipant.. Finished 6 oil changes. 4 Germans ,2 mazdas, 3 4 cylinder, 2 6 cylinder, 1 8 cylinder turbo. 30 quarts of oil…Also spent about $350 filling up all the cars with gas. lol.
CoronitaParticipantSo here’s a question. Do you think our government should provide a moratorium on mortgages during this virus or not?
If so, how is this different than back during the housing crisis of 2009 many piggs were saying we should just let people lose their homes who can’t make mortgage payments?
Personally, imho this time is different in that many people could not “prevent” this thing from happening and it wasn’t an issue about moral hazard. So if that’s the case, I don’t anticipate a sudden wave of panic selling, except maybe in places where the recovery would take longer than average.
That, our everyone sues China. They have money :).
