Apparently someone took your advice on orange juice because all I could find today was store brand high pulp variety.

But they can now return to work after 5 days. Shortages will be short lived. Because once this one burns out, we may not see another variant


That's the good news. Virus contagions often end with a highly contagious strain that is weak.

Thanks to the people who have taken the shot and spreading this shite like wildfire.

Maybe they shouldn’t do everything the government tells them.

Man I wish you were correct but there are reports that China is locking down cities of 12million people in central China and people are starving and dying with hemorrhaging in their eyes and face and these lockdowns are just 300- 500 miles away.from Beijing and a month away from Olympics.

The board was correct about the chlorine shortage for my pool. I stocked up early and missed the crunch.

Rubbish. There's a new variant in France now, and from what I hear, it's a real humdinger


I heard it strips citizenship.

This is 100 percent happening . I work for a large specialty pharmacy and with my company following the mandate we can’t keep up . Patients that are very sick and can’t miss doses are breaking my heart . I want to help them and I do what I can. I’m so angry that I can’t get them what they need and some are ending up in hospital. If we were able to get their meds to them in a timely manner , they would be ok.

If you haven't been building at least a rudimentary emergency stash over the course of the last two years, you're gonna be hurting at some point.

A few canned good items, a pack of bottled water, pack of TP, box of ammo, etc, during each trip to the grocery store during a two year period adds up. Rotate your stock and nothing ever goes bad. I'll probably add 10-12 items during the weekly run tomorrow as a matter of fact.

Months ago the checkout lady at Publix Al said that they most likely will have shortages on things you would not expect like toothbrushes and toothpaste
They won't notice.

Theyve already said it is Delta

The Shenzhen Health Commission on Friday night said the infections were of the Delta variant

Also, a new variant in France was discovered in Dec, with no hospitalizations or deaths and infected 12 people since then

The WHO's Dr. Abdi Mahamud said that the IHU variant "has been on our radar" during a news conference this week but says it hasn't been much of a threat.

I’m in the dialysis industry. We are not currently out of product, but running over a week behind for critical supplies. Supply chain and labor shortages are to blame. It’s a very precarious situation as some clinics are day to day on necessary items. One more hiccup could costs lives.

WTF! Are you sure about this, Lv? Is there another more lethal Variant? No way the Olympics happen if this is true.
