    I'm trying to wrap my mind around the toilet paper hysteria...espcially when people walk right past other essentials if you were stuck in your house for 14 days...

    Do they not have soap and showers? Gets you cleaner than paper anyway. Buy water, food, fever reducers, disinfectant, hell creature comforts before the TP. Fighting over toilet paper is insane.

    Yeah that makes NO SENSE. Why in the hell are people buying up toilet paper? Honestly even things like Lysol and hand sanitizer are useless if you're staying home (soap and water and actually washing are FAR more effective), but at least those make a LITTLE bit of sense. Toilet paper makes no sense. If people were buying up chicken noodle soup or something I'd understand it. Even stocking up on food in general (because going shopping when you are sick really sucks and can lengthen the illness) makes sense. Toilet paper just makes no logical sense.

    There are photos going around of people panic buying TP/tissue wipes yet almost full shelves of hand soap/sanitizer and disinfectants. lol

    Let me get this straight...

    In a press conference with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Monday evening, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters that the House version of a new coronavirus bill could be released this week, although it is unlikely it will be able to pass until after the upcoming congressional recess.


    After criticizing Trump for his lack of response to the virus they feel their recess is more important than passing this bill?

    She's so fucking stupid.

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/corona...?autoPlay=true Just saw this. An arcade owner in The U.K filled up grab machines with TP and what looks like hand sanitizer. :P

    Maybe not get your information from Fox News? because in your article they never said that their statements, they need to wait for the cost estimates from the CBO. Even in your own article their statements says that they are willing to stay the recess if necessary to get the vote done. First stop getting your news from Fox second learn to read.

    Senate and House also go on recess at the same time.

    It would be great if Trumpists should stop spreading conspiracy theories about the Virus that fuel xenophobia as well as Trump himself calling the severity of the Virus a Democratic Hoax among other things.

    The failure of the education system in many places is to blame for people not understanding germ theory and conflating this whole issue.

    The media fear mongering is what is doing it, Trump is retarded if he cannot see that media/social media is the single biggest problem with this whole situation.
