This is what most shoppers don't realize, or aren't thinking about. Coming in and cleaning out the stores is not the way to go. People think that stores are replenished, with everything, fully, every night -- that they receive constant deliveries of things. This is not true.

Typically, merchandise replenishment, and the timeliness of it, is based on the rate of sales of that item. So, if people would just do their regular, weekly (or every-other-week) shopping, the stores, and manufacturers, could manage this supply-and-demand crisis. But when people come in and clean out, every day, it can take a store, literally, a week or more, per day, to recover with regard to that item. Some allowance and margin for error/change is built in with fast-moving consumable items like toilet paper and food (as compared to, say, office supplies or toys), of course, and manufacturers account for that and produce more of it than those other types of items. But there are still limits, and cleaning the stores out on an everyday basis actually sets the whole concept of shelf availability way back.

To wit: We had a sizeable delivery of toilet paper three days ago that took us almost three hours to hand out, a pack at a time, to customers who lined up for them. But yesterday, after having been cleaned out each of the next two days, too, we had only a small amount delivered that was gone after 15 or so customers.

I am hopeful that, in a couple of days, people will start to realize that, "You know what? I have what I need, for some time to come," and calm down and stop this madness. Stores literally cannot get stocked at this point.

Well said. My wife is the HR person for 5 WalMart logistics centres in our city. As long as trucks are driving there will be no shortage of supplies in stores.

TigerVols can probably explain it better, Ragu, but while at Tennessee, Dooley was asked at a presser about staph infections. I don't remember the particulars but Dooley proceeded to talk about proper hygiene and things devolved into the bizarre.

In addition, I don't know if Dooley has ever used the term "rocket surgery" but I would not be surprised.

Exactly; Vols regularly had too few or too many players on the field, but at least they never had athlete's foot.

Rolling Stones Postpone North American Tour Dates Due to Coronavirus Worries

Fuck that squared. Same reporter also wrote that NCL cruise salespeople lied about CV, and how Amazon told workers at one facility with a CV employee to use more hand sanitizer.

As a diehard Parrothead, I'm on the youngish side at 52. If the coronavirus doesn't get a lot of his audience, then playing those dates in Texas in June damn sure will.

I'm 48. I actually have tickets to see the Margaritaville Broadway show in May. I hope that doesn't get axed.
Of course, being opportunistic, one of the tour dates close to me got changed to something I can make, so my wheels started turning.
