This face mask speculative hoarding is paying dividends.

Meanwhile in "cursed by terrible socialists" democratic Colombia, where everyone with a job has a reasonably priced healthcare plan.. same as any other day even though suspected cases in the hospital... all quite relaxed.

I was just at the pharmacy and bought a whole bunch of stuff recommended by the doctor as we have a guest who has a lung disease and nebuliser machine, fluids, oxygen cylinder, hypodermics and needles.. saline IVs.. all no prescription needed. He suggested I get this as well should the hospital be inaccessible and night time (cost just USD $3.43 at today's rate).

It is understandable why people panic when their lives are like rats in a slowly sinking cage. Remarkable to see how it can be so much better.

Injectable lidocaine? I guess that will help when the flu causes one to have to amputate after it takes a limb due to gangrene. :-)

Yes, very useful in the zombie apocalypse! Lidocaine with epinephrine to counteract one of the other meds if needed. Like being in ER. 2 mikes of Lidocaine stat! I am trained in putting in an IV etc of course.

I should have asked if he had a bottle of Ketamin, if the internet went down that would give me something to look at.. Dang.

Anyhoo, enjoy it up there with all the panicky gun owners and the freedom.

Yep, 6'6" 294 pounds, ~12 % body fat. But my brain is only a bit larger than others so the normal amount of special K will do.

Don't forget to pick up many cases of cheep Corona beer while they are on sale, because they contain the virus, according to stupid *insert any race of human here*.

Corona is horse piss anyway. Modelo, Tecate, and Dos Equis are much better.

There were so many damn carts, I couldn't even steer my way around. They were out of toilet papers and many other essential items. And this was Tuesday afternoon. Completely surreal. Never seen anything like it before.

My wife sent me this pic from supermarket a few hours ago (we are in Australia)...

Did some online research and social media provided the answer
