I'll be heading to Smith's on Flamingo and Forte Apache in LV in the morning for the 60+ shopping from 7am to 8am.
I'll take my phone and take some pics.
Not sure what to expect, last time I was there on Monday they had a good stock of everything except toilet paper and sanitizer.

Perhaps you shouldn't listen to jackasses.

Hawaii Institutes Mandatory 14-Day in-Home quarantine for anyone arriving from Outside the State
Hawaii airports will begin mandating a 14-day quarantine for both residents and visitors coming to the islands, according to Lt. Gov. Josh Green.

Green told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser today that the Airports Division of the state Department of Transportation is working up a plan to “only allow individuals to come in who will have to home quarantine for 14 days,” with the exception of essential and health care workers.
“This is something now that can no longer be denied. We have to have a plan that is stricter than we have especially when we see the number of sick individuals in Italy,” Green said, adding that the policy should extend at least until April 30. “As the health care coordinator on this matter, we have to be safe for our kupuna. Anything short of that would be negligent.”

Green added that the situation is “evolving faster than any crisis we’ve ever seen.”
“Because we are cognizant of what’s happening in other states and other nations it has become evident the only way to flatten the curve and slow down the illness is to be absolutely uncompromising,” he said. “From a tourism standpoint we were already expecting virtually no one to come to the state of Hawaii. We cannot tolerate people flying in on cheap tickets and positively infecting our kupuna.”

Hawaii health officials’ official coronavirus count for the islands rose to 26 today, but they say the state has not seen widespread community transmissions so far.

I went to the Asian market down the street to get some ginger and garlic.

I'm eating it anyway.

Both my daughters lost their jobs in the last 2 days.

Pet grooming department shut down 4 hours after she left work today, may still work in the store selling dog food, know more tomorrow.

The older one was informed yesterday 2 hours before work the bar/restaurant is now down as a nonessential breeding ground.

Governor's orders.

I've seen rough times before but this takes the cake. The other times were just recessions. This thing is forced shutdowns to slow a disease.

Nothing you can do about it.

I just love the uncertainty of living out a Stephen King science fiction novel. Maybe a Coke machine will start shooting cans at me tomorrow.

Remember when people joked about preppers?.....not so much any more

First moose is awesome! Always comes back when you respect his ways is one of the morals.
I wish they taught the constellations using Mikmaq and Abenaki, way better than Greek lore.

They do a little bit in the lower grades.

I live in a small community with a lot of "summer homes" Today I noticed an out of state suv pulling an empty flat screen box out of the back to recycle at the dump. I instantly realized these people are fleeing the cities.
We had our first confirmed case in my county this evening. Sure enough, from a town very close with a high amount of those "summer homes" oh well, it was bound to get here sometime.

Same thing down this way. They're closing up the borders too.
And a couple days ago, we started locking the camp. We havent locked the doors since I was teenager and even then, it was only done to keep my menacing brothers from throwing keg partys - not that it ever worked.
The camp road is long and theres always that chance of someone breaking down or going thru the ice so we've always left it unlocked while securing anything of value thru other means.

I know this sounds odd to some...but felt surreal driving away.

Isn’t that part of the city still only a few years old? Probably still a lot of empty homes in those communities, you’ll probably be good to go

I'm watching Gandhi......looking for my inner strength.

Pregnant women are also allowed in. Some other claims will also be honored. Are they really preggers? Your jokes are welcome.

It doesn't specify cis women. I identify as a pregnant woman when I need to get into stores. This gender fluidity thing may be alright after all...

My gf manages a mortuary, lol. Looks like I won’t be seeing her for a little while.

And a family friend got it, and recovered.

And 18 more months of this shit, half the population could be infected by then, and then they'll need 175 million doses of a vaccine yet to be developed ASAP to save the rest of the population.

And politicians were more worried about selling stock early to avoid losses.

21st century America at it's finest.

My friends use to laugh at me for buying in bulk and keeping double sometimes triple of everything. Now they're standing in line with the masses while I'm at home grilling a steak. We made a liquor run the other day which was the only thing we were short on. Got plenty of liquor in the pantry. All is good. And the thing is, I'm not a prepper. I just like having things I need on hand. I stock up going into winter and draw it down over the summer. Been doing it for years. Here in Portland the city shuts down if there is an inch of snow. I never thought my stash would come in handy for something like this. It was in case we got snowed in, had an ice or wind storm, etc...

I know people that don't really cook and eat all their meals out. They might have a jar of mayonnaise in their refrigerator and that's about it. They have no staples and one guy I know just got layed off, has no money in the bank, maxed out credit cards, and no food. I've been telling him for years to keep something for an emergency but like so many Americans he just spent his money as fast as it came in. Blowing it on electronics, the latest Iphone, and all kinds of other things that he didn't need but wanted. I lived like that in my twenties but this guy is in his mid forties, doesn't own a home, no retirement, no nothing. And he's not alone. Too many Americans are stretched beyond their means. Just because you can get another credit card doesn't mean you should. I know a couple with over $50,000 in credit card debt. They have no equity in their house they've been living in for almost twenty years because they've pulled it all out and spent it on trips to Hawaii and Las Vegas. Complete idiots. But that's America. You're free to be stupid.
