COVID-19 - Ancients Central - Caronavirus Posts Here!!!

In all this mess I'm most mystified by the run on TP. If you're at all concerned you really should look into getting a bidet attachment. I spent like $30 on Amazon and maybe 5-10 minutes attaching it a few years back and it paid for itself in no time. Someday we'll all look on TP as a thing barbarians used to use

Freeze your eggs for scrambled eggs.... break and scramble then, put in freezer container, freeze.

 

Weird to hear all this. Last was at the store on Thurs a.m., around 5-6 am. Busier than it should be but they had most everything. Soaps, cleaning supplies, paper products stripped though. I probably will be shocked when I next go, maybe in a day or so.

 

Freezer space is limited...

Then you have the real crazies going out and buying dedicated freezers for $800 to they can stash even more frozen goods.

And when the power goes out, thar she blows...

 

I think the Japanese already do. I can't blame them.

 

Since we haven’t had a coin photo for a while, just though I would update my profile pic and share:


Yea, the toilet paper thing is weird. My cool went on early spring break, and I’ll be spending this week training to do online instruction. I’m personally not conc Renee, but my wife is (she has respiratory issues) so we’ve done our panic buying. No toilet paper, and little bread and pasta available. Luckily we were already well stocked on both.

 

It seems to me to be a bit incongruous hording bread, eggs , AND toilet paper. Both bread and eggs are rather constipating. So what's the urgent need of so much toilet paper????

 

LOL

 

Norway chiming in here. Life has pretty much come to a grinding halt. Air traffic stopped, all ports closed. Schools closed. Dentists, haidressers, restaurants, universities...well, you get it. No one in, no one out.



I work in health-care, specifically a home for the mentaly and physically disabled. Since we live in a rather remote area the virus hasn't struck here yet and about half the province has gone into a state of self-imposed semi-quarantine to keep it that way. But I fear the day the virus will reach us, not so much for my own sake but for our the sake of our clients. If ever there was a vulnerable group, it's them and they are also the sort of people who for various reasons also make for great spreaders of the virus.

We're still good on toilet paper, though...so you're welcome

I should really post a coin of Asklepios here but I don't have one. If you do, please post it. I'll post this one instead, just for fun. I won it in an auction yesterday. Picture from seller's website.

Lydia, Kroisos. 561-546 BC. Siglos. 5.04 gr, 17mm. Sardis.

(According to the auctioneers website, that is. But he's often lackadaisical in his attributions. I'm not 100% sure it's not an early Achaemenid, but it's difficult to tell in this condition)

 

Just wait till everything rots and people feel bad about throwing it away, since they spent their entire paycheck on expired milk, eggs and bread

 

Thanks for getting this thread back on track!!

 

Asklepios, we need you!


THRACE, Pautalia. Caracalla

Obv: AYT K M AY CEY ANTΩNEINOC; Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right

Thanks, TIF ;-) That's the coin I was looking for!

 

That's a very nice example @Ignoramus Maximus

 

Thank you, Bing.
I somehow hope it's struck under Virus the Great...

 

Social distancing is hard but it works......

 

I still have to go to work, and there are some hotheads there, but fortunately we do also have a couple of very short people.

 

Woke up this morning and still don't have the virus.

But this Maurice Tiberius has a bad case of coin virus:

 

I've just heard on TV from medical sources in Italy that a professional team from the Netherlands have succeeded in elaborating an antidote against the Virus COVID. They said they need sometime to undertake experiments of tests with animals prior to implementation on human patients. Hope it's the beginning...
