I dare not venture to "The Costco" as I would then be required to take a bath in acid or something to remove the possibility of a virus being on me. I may venture Ollies Discount Outlet later since nobody went there even BEFORE the virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All flu like symptoms but no one who went to the doctor had the flu. It RIPPED through one of my classes (like over 50% got sick....so 12 out of 24 at least.) I pitched a huge fit to HR because 1. I don't want sick people in my class infecting me and everyone else and 2. Because hourly employees can only miss one day out of a 30 day training cycle or they are up for termination. They #### really hit the fan when I sent HR the CDC guidelines for working when you have flu like symptoms with fever. I was told to basically "stay in your lane." Retrospect is always interesting. Needless to say, my thought since this whole thing hit the news has been that it was already here back then and just wasn't fully mutated. But I'm not a scientist....I'm just a drummer who can actually count to potato. we had one roll thru the area in January...one school district reported 25% absenteeism a day for a week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it was 8:30 when I carried out the few items bought. My usual place has a meat counter that is only place to get fresh meat. Also no take a number so everyone mobbed at the counter so they don’t lose their place. Saw a pic of my backup place and seniors mobbed at front door waiting for it to open. At a place I hardly go to but not crowded... and only single rolls of Woodys wood chip toilet paper and no clorox or other wipes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ollie’s started in my home area.... great when Ollie was alive as his ads had the funniest stories how he got the stuff. When Cabbage Patch kids were hot Ollie got a bunch from a store that caught fire. Story was a/c pumped the smoke into the toy area. “If you don’t mind wrapping that smells smoky, the dolls are ok”.

I think a problem with that is you really have to try the office chair first before buying. Some look comfortable but aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
