FWIW; Gahanna, Ohio grocery report:

Had to go grocery shopping this AM, was out of milk and bread. Went to Hunter's Ridge Kroger, got milk and a few other things; but they had ZERO bread. Their available toilet paper was really cheap too; it felt like all air and no paper. So I passed on it. Then I went to Aldi (Hamilton Rd. between Morse and 161), arrived at Aldi just before they opened, waiting at the door some other lady commented that she hopes there won't be a fight like there was at Kroger. I asked her what Kroger was that, she said the one north of here in New Albany. I commented that everything was peaceful at the Hunter's Ridge Kroger earlier this AM; however, they had no bread whatsoever. Aldi basically had everything including all types of bread, etc. They had some toilet paper with real solid rolls. I bought a couple packages. They did have a posted limit of 2 on toilet paper and a limit of 4 on canned items.

FWIW; Gahanna, Ohio grocery report 2.0

It has been almost 2 weeks since I went anywhere and I'm out of milk again. I ventured out to Aldi (Hamilton Rd. between Morse and 161) again. They pretty much had everything I wanted so I ended up contributing almost $90 to the local economy. Now I did notice that they were out of toilet paper; however, I wasn't out and hadn't planned on buying any anyway. They still had a limit of 4 on some canned items. They did have a sign by the door that indicted they are open 8:30 to 9:30 AM Tuesday and Thursday for seniors (i.e. and high risk people). More good news was that the store wasn't crowded and there wasn't much traffic on Hamilton Rd. either.

Brings back memories of my Spring 1970 quarter at Ohio State. That was the quarter when the campus was closed a couple weeks due to Vietnam protests (i.e. basically riots). When classes resumed we had the option to take any class pass/fail. I was taking 4 five hour classes. I was getting an A in one, a B in one, and a C in the other two. I took the 2 C class pass /fail and had a 3.5 for the quarter. It was my highest GPA for any quarter in my 5 years there, engineering was a 5 year program back then.

You didn't buy those things at the Wuhan Market did you?

4 things you must eat in Wuhan, China

SPICY LOBSTER AND CRAYFISH
Bali Lobster is practically an institution in Wuhan. You have to take a number and stand in line to get into this eatery, because the queues are phenomenally long.

But trust me, these crustaceans are worth the wait! The lobsters and crayfish are coated in the familiar chilli-peppercorn mixture that will leave your senses in a state of total wakefulness.

The seafood is plump and fresh, with lots of meat and the redolent flavours of the peppercorns infused between joints and crevices.

If you would like to take the spice level down a notch, try the garlic crayfish, where the seafood is slathered in a creamy garlic sauce that is delicious and not spicy at all.

Mili, I've been on this board going on 13 years. In all that time I can't recall you once utilizing a degree of tact, sarcasm and a dash of humor to the art of being an asshole. You always, and I really mean always without hyperbole, just skip the fun parts in favor of the belligerent style.

When did the US start ramping up the amounts of tests done? Watching the video, it appears the surge start around 18-19 March. New York has almost half the amount of cases in the US (53,520 of 125,161 cases, as of this morning). That, coupled with the increased amount of testing could play as much a part in the recent surge as how contagious the virus is.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/n...rus-map-of-the-us-latest-cases-state-by-state

Taking stats from the linked article, New York has 834 deaths, compared with 1360 deaths for the other 49 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The three other places with the most deaths are New Jersey (next to NYC), Washington state (had a large number of deaths in a nursing home), and Louisiana (Nawlins). Those four places alone account for 1300 of 2194, or almost 60%, of the deaths in the US, and 42 of 50 states have less than 50 deaths.

I don't think there's any question the increased testing is a factor.

There are over 12,000 more confirmed cases just today, nearly a 10% increase from yesterday and the day isn't close to over.
