[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The milk at my store has a sell by date of late April due to ultra Pasteurization. So just buy extra. That's what I did. [/quote]

I did the same thing.[/quote]

You are all buying a couple extra half-gallons of milk just in case there is a signal to the city to stay home for a while, or for your social group to "self quarantine", for whatever reason (a parent at soccer practice or a coworker is positive), or if at some point there are so many cases confirmed in DC that that you don't feel comfortable going out shopping so often. When is that likely to happen? Next week? in three weeks? In a month? Regardless, what happens late April? Late April shit will so likely be worse, dude, not better. You'd have said May or June or July, I'd have stayed quiet, but we don't know.

It's more and more obvious that every day going by, there are (exponentially) more untested (and possibly barely symptomatic) cases walking around you at the supermarket, and slowly, as the cherry blossoms bloom, you'll also be surrounded by sick sounding people telling you "oh, it's just allergies," which it very well could be. By the time we're testing at full speed, we will have so many cases that it won't be long until DOH just decides to only test cases they need to admit to the hospital, and they'll send everyone else home to self-quarantine.

What I'm trying to describe is a situation where you'd so much rather not have a pre-planned need to go to the supermarket late April, much like on an ordinary weekend you'd rather not leave the house on Friday at 7pm, after getting out of your work clothes and into your slippers, to go pick up soy sauce for the stir fry you want to make.[/quote]

It will die out in warm weather. Mark my words[/quote]

How "warm"?  Isn't it warm in Southern CA?
