MN69Grande 203 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 I've come up with the following plan to deal with the Corona Virus. I'm telling my wife we need to practice 'social distancing' and I'll be in the garage for the next 6 weeks. I've stock piled all the major supplies of shop towels, pumice soap, and beer (probably Dos Equis). I've moved the big screen into the garage for news updates and old Chevy Chase films. And she should be on the look out for emergency supplies that will be marked Summit Racing, Jegs, CJ Pony Parts, and NPD. With a little luck and some time the car and I will get through this pandemic with some decent upgrades completed. I'll let you all know how it goes. 1 1 Caseyrhe and RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Sounds good. Social distancing also includes ear plugs to minimize the chance of hearing whining. 3 RPM, Caseyrhe and mustangstofear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stangman69 17 Report post Posted March 19, 2020 I wondered if anyone else was worried about the response to this silliness. Folks around here are acting like its an outbreak of Ebola and people are dying in the streets. Zombie apocalypse has arrived. Except for toilet paper we're prepared. Who'd have though TP would be a hot commodity? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmal 225 Report post Posted March 20, 2020 Does it seam a little sus to anyone else that 5 people get the flu and the Corona is immediately identified and that it came from eating bats, then a city of 11 million people are immediately quarantined. A big reaction for an unknown flu with symptoms not much different from every other flu. How much money is there to be made from rushing a vaccine to the market without the normal clinical trials knowing that every country in the world will buy as much as you can provide. Just saying. Not to mention the devastation to the rest of the worlds economies. Who would benefit from that. Just saying. With companies failing over this, they are a cheap purchase for the Chinese. Looks all a little to much of a coincidence to me. 1 stangman69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
