Hmmm,that was a concern of mine also here in VA but got confirmation today that all State parks would be open, actually just got off the phone. Lol

Ridiculous. Too much panic going on.

At least the Florida government is keeping you up to date and cares about you. Can't really say the same about the Feds...

Twomed, I live right between two Va State Parks. Staunton River, and Occoneechee. If you like I will take a ride through either and send you a couple of pics of the open areas. We currently have no documented cases within 50 miles of here. But, of course that is subject to change. I even bought 4 4 packs of TP a couple of hours ago from a South Boston Va store called "Supply Line" just to have some spares. The insanity is coming here, but at the moment it's not horrible.

But it is ok to go to a crowded place to vote today in Florida?

Can't post the picks but:

A picture of Indiana Jones (first movie) but rather than trying to take the golden skull, he's trying to a roll of TP.

Internet store checkout - How did you want to pay?
Buttons for Visa, MasterCard, Amex or Toilet Paper

Someone said that after they stocked up on TP, their cat went out and bought 26 boxes of kitty litter.

Brinks truck outside Walmart, delivering TP.

Best was some guy in Kroger today near Houston. "This is almost as bad as a hurricane."

I thought toilet paper jokes would be popular by now. I have not seen any......yet.

Article on CNN today claiming toilet paper manufacturers are in uncharted territory with enormous spike in demand.

Consumers are walking right past hand sanitizer and consumables to satisfy their gluttony for toilet paper.

Next will be looting.

There are a couple of substitutes for TP: One's either a shower head on the end of a long hose, and the other is a bidet.

Our RV even has a 2nd shower head on the end of a short hose mounted on the wall right beside the toilet in the shower/toilet area. Good old Winnebago must have been thinking way, way ahead when they built our rig many years ago. :B

x2. Yeah, that's a bit much. I'm sitting in a CA state park where it's beautiful, very few people here, and quiet. Praying we don't suffer the same panic.

This part of CA is pretty much Mexico, so life is going on as per normal. Truck stop open and fully functional, even with a couple restaurants.

I had a dentist appt cancelled because the office has been ordered closed for 2 weeks. A dentist office is one of the most sanitary places there is.

Normally I would agree with you, But, dw is going to her daughters place tomorrow for three days to care for a grand daughter, and her daughter is pretty typical as a millenianal college employee. So I dont EVER expect her to have more than 3 days worth of ANYTHING.
It's just something about the age. I'm sending it with her.

Shove everyone home or into private RV parks. Not responsible behavior. How many hundreds or thousands will be on the road, moving around that would have stayed put?
