Not to mention all the irrigation that gets runs, repairs. one small part of this could end your idea of a bread basket waiting for you at the store. I am from a farming family, the are acting like business as usual, but I don't think they understand. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72597490 If we can break the reinfection cycle it goes away. Govt. not serious yet but when they shut shit down for two weeks it will get better. Don't stress out, not the end. :) . Don't be silly 2 weeks lock down will do little to nothing and deaths will continue to jump upwards due to the incubation period and the kill ration will also increase because new cases won't get the use of ventilators. Thing is here that everyone in jobs can claim to be "essential works" including the pen pushers working for the council because the definition of the term is so wide so it's only half a lock down when it comes. You also don't get that this virus is being used as a cover story for a financial collapse that was coming anyway because share prices were not related in anyway to profits and were just over priced gambling chips and bailouts just flooded the casino with more money, nothing for main street. |

She said all they are doing is eating, lol. i guess building up some reserve might not be a bad idea. Plant a garden, raise some chickens (layers and broilers), find a farmer you can get some freezer beef, bet a HUGE feezer, generator and some fuel just incase the power goes out. good idea. just to clarify, i meant ft reserves. i already have a lot of storeable food on hand. . .

When doom comes the best place to have extra energy stored is on your body itself. But you seriously need to excercise to stay toned and fit under the layer of fat. Burn at LEAST 1000 calories a day. But eat 2000 calories. You stay fit..and get a good layer of insulating fat to keep you fed and warm when winter comes. And KEEP IN MIND...the coronadoom will be PEAKING right about the start of next winter. And THATS when things will get SERIOUSLY DOOMY. Ice preserves virus...it will blow around in snowstorms...be whipped up into the atmosphere... Sne spread EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. And it will STAY ALIVE FOR MONTHS... AND DOOM WILL FALL.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72022675 United States 03/22/2020 10:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The USA produces so much food and can actually produce a lot more than it does. Imported stuff will be the concern and of course hoarding will lead to some shortages in the stores. The processors are already wrestling with how much to ramp up- they are more afraid of boom/bust once everyone has so much they won't spend as much and demand falls off a cliff. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75615507 Man you are way off. Whit the crops lost last year due to flooding we dont have any reserves of grain. There will be a huge problem if this happens again.

User ID: 76010295 United States 03/22/2020 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think there is plenty of food. The problem is some people are not letting it get delivered. I heard someone say their walmart is loaded with toilet paper & other stuff but they were told not to stock the shelves. Quoting: Half Past Midnight Ok... so help me with this. Let’s say a canner produces 100,000 cans of green beans one day, 100,000 cans of corn the next,... 5 different types of fan vegetables a week for 500,000 cans a week. They have 3 months stock between their warehouses and the wholesalers and distributors and stores. 6,000,000 cans in the supply line. Then corona hits... in a matter of weeks all their stock in the pipeline is sold and demand is still twice what they can produce. This would seem to make sense given that the stores are unable to restock can goods quickly. Reasonable? So they need to increase production to at least 1 million cans a week just to meet demand... forget about the pipeline. Do you have enough commodities - green beans, kidney beans, corn, etc.. No.. not in February. You have to find some on the open market out of South America or god knows where. Those farms are unlikely to have excess produce. Besides, their country may be having runs on food too. Where am I wrong... seriously. How can these canneries catch up on production until the crops start coming in later this year? Same goes for cattle. They are not created by a vending machine.. they have to be birthed and raised and fattened up. Chickens - quicker growth period bust still in months. I am not buying into the argument that there is plenty of food on the way.. I don’t think they have it. At the very least - prices goin’ way up. Not one of you know it all glpers could answer this question. You just want to argue about useless shit. Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |
