If you run out of Kleenex you can use the Motzah.

Tsujita was packed last night until well past midnight.
It felt like they wiped down the tables with aggressive cleaner, but they sure didn’t with the menus, condiments, etc.
If I die I die.
I was in the same situation and was down to my last roll yesterday. I went to 5 stores before I finally found some small packages in a local liquor store. My neighbor found some @ 7-11.

A message from Devin Nunes:
… if you’re healthy, you and your family, it’s a great time to go out and go to a local restaurant, likely you can get in easy. Let’s not hurt the working people in this country that are relying on wages and tips to keep their small business going… Don’t just run to the grocery store and buy $4,000 of food. Go to your local pub.
When he’s the only person saying “go out,” clearly it’s time not to.

While I don’t dispute the general premise that RNA viruses in general mutate frequently (I helped with some the initial benchtop elucidation of another RNA virus called HIV back in the last millennium, and admittedly that was a lentivirus, not coronavirus), the data coming out from the 500 or so complete genomes completed thus far to date on this particular pandemic coronavirus shows that mutationally, it’s quite a snail compared to the other RNA viruses out there. But sample analyses from Italy and Spain are still likely being under-reported.
At this time, I am not sure the investigators can reach any truly objective and actionable conclusions on mutational potential until more epidemiologic and benchtop collaborative work can be done.

the cdc has recommended that for the next 8 weeks (!) all gatherings of 50 or more be cancelled.
soon only some members of food forums will be holding out against social distancing, like soldiers refusing to believe the war is over (except in reverse).
