Russian bombers near the Alaska border is not new. I was there a year ago working in the Arctic and it happened then. US jets scrambled from Alaska for intercept.

I think the panic of this virus has gone to the extreme. Nobody panics about the 30,000 plus deaths every year, in the US, caused by automobiles. This thing has been going for what, 3 months or so, and has killed worldwide a yearly violence toll of Chicago? And we intentionally expose ourselves to automobiles!

No one seems to panic about this figure every year either.

How about we quit panicking and killing our economy. Take measures to protect against the spread of course, but quit making everyone believe that they are going to die if they get this.

And buy kleenex not TP. Went to Albertsons last night and picked up some groceries. TP was on my list. When I got to the TP isle there were two ladies standing in front of mostly empty shelves. The one was telling the other that her daughter could not get any in Denver and was coming up and for her to pack some suitcases full. She said she had been to most stores in town (100K people) and there was none anywhere. Right next to the TP section was the kleenex section. It was about 3/4 full. I ended up buying a six pack of off brand. Maybe people are thinking of those Venezuela stories
