Heard that almost every car crossing the border into US had three to four packages of toilet paper in there cars. Bad enough tourists take advantage of the citizens and economic living, but must their supplies be pillaged. I understand that a select few give us a bad name in Puerto Penasco but I think some respect needs to be shown when your in another country.
You would think they would see how small this place is and how limited supplies are. We don't have 100 plus stores to shop when something is out. They were packing their cart at Super Ley with toilet paper and bleach. They got a call and their friends were at Sam's Club trying to do the same, but they were out of toilet paper. This was on Saturday. When I had shopped on Wednesday the stores had plenty of toilet paper and napkins. I thought wow I am glad we don't have all the crazy hoarders here, but they let them in. Maybe they need to close the border or let them know now we don't have toilet paper so they stop coming...lol

The Walmart, WinCo, fry's any store you think of in AZ, shelves are bare. The stores are unprepared for the stock up. I went to local fry's by me at 430 am waited in a line for the store to open and the TP was gone in under 5 min. Stores are letting 3 paper products per house hold. Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, soap, cleaning products, can goods, dry goods are being sold out. You cant even get the thing online all sold out. Medication is flying off the shelves.
Schools are shut down, no sports games playing, Disney world shut down. People are stocking up because if you get the virus you need to stay in for 14 day so you don't pass it along.
I'm waiting for Mexico to close the borders to US.

Please no for closing the border now as we are coming down this Friday the 20th. After we get through then they can shut the gates. Selfish statement on my part, no disrespect to others. Wouldn’t that be the shit....having to call your employer and say “hey, can’t get home by no fault of mine!!” Extended vacation is on the horizon. Lock that gate for a month, 2 months, don’t care, would love it.

That’s exactly what we thought until you start to realize when the shelves go bare in a town of 55,000 they don’t get restocked as fast. Closest distribution hub is Hermosillo 5 hours away. On Top of it all you have hoarders buying up supplies and taking it across the border. How ironic 99% of the time its exactly opposite with tourists smuggling product into Mexico.

You are correct with the re-stocking levels not nearly as fast as in the U.S., but if that gate is closed there is no taking anything across. Come on boarder closing....I’m kidding. Thank you Cheddar for the reply.
It is one thing to buy to last you 2 to 4 weeks its another to buy to hoard and to make a profit. You can't tell me everyone ran out of toilet paper, napkins, bleach etc. all at the same time and needed to restock.

Read the national news this morning when I woke up per usual. There is a guy in Tennessee that has 17,000 bottles of Purrell and can't get rid of them now after Ebay and Amazon closed his online stores. The best part, we all get angry at this guy for practicing capitalism, being a middleman and driving price up when the health insurance industry operates in the same manner! LOL
Sounds like old Mexican joe has got SM syndrome ,I must have really hot a nerve with the old boy
Steve, I can't understand you. Not sure what that means. I appreciate the compliment though. I've never had a super fan before! Well, I did have HAPPY until they life banned him. I'll know if you're a true super fan when you start sending me private emails...

Hey Joe. I too read that article on yahoo this morning. He will be able to sell the goods locally through offer up, craigslist, Facebook, Walmart parking lot, etc. Might take a little time, but he will be ok And make a profit. And you’re right on the money about the health industry. About a week ago I read an article, I think on Reddit, that a person had a family member in the hospital and the patient was charged $5 for, wait for it.....one cough drop. He had the pics of the said cough drop and the bill. Un-f’n-believable.

Yea it did say that but obviously much harder because it limits his sales to the local area and pick up only vs opening up the entire market of the US through web based sales. I've been trying to sell some auto parts for a couple of weeks now on Offerup and EVERYONE is complete FLAKES!!! Offerup message: Is the item still available? My IMMEDIATE response: Yes.... 5 minutues, 35 minutes, 35 days NO RESPONSE! lol
No joke, Banner Wound Clinic on 10th st and Willetta sent me a package of tape and gauze that I did NOT require or ask for in an office visit to have some paperwork filled out for my employer a couple of years ago. They charged me $220!!! I swear to god. This shit couldn't have cost more than $26 if you went to Wally World and bought it yourself. I'm not exaggerating.
I would think that has to be illegal. I mean at no point did they ask me if I needed anything or told me that this would be coming. I was there for something unrelated to needing medical supplies. Also got billed by the doctor for that appointment, $445. So yea. Pretty hot!

Your the one that keeps bringing me up . Not a fan , just an observer .
Well shut the front door!!! When I read that Rocky Point had no problem with supplies of paper products, I was ready to trade Marybna 1 box of books for a six pack of TP. All shelves are empty here in Green Valley. Maybe I will ask The Old wise one (Snorin God, GV Jack). What happened? He sure has been quiet lately. A little wisdom please.
I was in Sam's Club on Fri afternoon and they still had a lot of TP, but I did see more than a few carts with 3-4 big packs of TP.
I bought one 40 pack of TP and a 8 pack of paper towels for my Cholla place.
I ended up taking the TP back to Phx after my wife told me she couldn't find any TP at 4 different stores in Phx.
I got a comment from the US border agent as I was crossing that there were many cars with TP packed in them.
Hopefully the stores in Penasco limit sales to 1 pack per person and gets this under control so the locals can buy some.

With news reports like this, if true, toilet paper may be the least of your worries :
read the above article...this was quoted in it....
“Because I consider it is more a collective hysteria than any other thing. In Mexico we have a culture of a little bit more of hygiene that helps us to limit this kind of transmissions,” he said.
The numbers should start increasing soon in Mexico....Just think about Semana Santa and Easter coming up
update on the article of the brothers who bought all the hand sanitizers....They donated it due to the backlash and death threats to them and their family. I read it on people mag site. Hopefully the link works if you want to read it and was also on msn.

Arizona ranked #1 for toilet paper hoarding....the sad part is they keep doing it and calling people laughing and planning the next store to go to.
I was told that over the weekend someone pulled the ultimate toilet paper and sanitizer heist at UMC Hospital in Tucson from all of the first floor. They must be so proud of themselves....
thought I'd chime in - stores in Tempe have no TP. I haven't been to them all, nor are we in dire need, but stores are crazy around here. This morning we drove by Costco at 9:45am - 15 minutes before they open, and the line was 1/2 way around the store. Crazy. No meat in butcher shop at Safeway at 6:15am, and of course, no TP or paper plates, paper towels, etc. Time to pack the RV and head for the hills. Glad we voted early.

Never seen anything like this. After Monday morning seeing the stock market down 10% before noon and the president's press conference I told my girlfriend we needed to try and get a few things. The two grocery stores we went to were pretty much out of everything useful in the central/north phoenix area. Absolutely crazy.
If you want tp or can or dry foods be in line at 5am at frys, they open at 6am. Hit the tp first that's where everyone runs to first. Walmart don't even bother they are the worst. They must not know to order big!
I saw a post that Costco's in Phx area are doing a controlled opening when the doors open, not the mad rush you would
expect.
TP is now located near the front of stores with a 1 pack per sale. Other items are available but many are limited.
As the test kit's become available the cases in the US will definitely surge.
We lost the ability to minimize the new cases in the US, 2-3 weeks ago when the Gov't didn't shut everything down.
I'm reading the 100K people who got off cruise ships last week in the US were only minimally screened.
Next week is could be interesting. (9200 cases in US with 120 deaths on Wed. 3-18 4pm)
Well at least the powers to be in the US have woken up to the fact this is real.
Think of this as the circle of life - the thinning of the herd. It is affecting the older and sickly. It is time to stop this stupid panic and start to be rational. And before you start to criticize my statement-- I am a health care provider

My wife and I went to that same store on Monday at 10:00 AM, we parked the car, walked a few feet and froze! We saw a scene from a sci-fi/apocalyptic movie: we turned around, walked to the area where the carts are supposed to be parked, leaned against the metal bars to enjoy the "movie". It took us a few minute to realize that it wasn't a dream, we saw the same thing you saw! Then we just started laughing, turned around and headed to Trader Joe's. Luckily, I always buy extra stuff. We didn't buy any toilet paper and we don't plan on buying any for the next few months; I have always minimized my trips to Costco to save time and I always have a few months’ supply of everything. Costco also helped: many times I can’t find the items I need and this game made me realize a long time ago that I need to buy for today and save a few items for tomorrow. AntMan!

Some of the Millennial generation are referring to the CV-19 virus as the Boomer Remover. In today's world
there are many older and or sickly people who who wouldn't be alive if not for today's modern world of medicine.
Keep them alive or let nature take it's way? It's a moral dilemma not many are willing to deal with.

We got off one on Sunday - no screening at all and none in the two airports we went through!

Absolutely ridiculous that anyone could have that mentality. That is how disconnected we are to each other in this society. I'm going to be 36 in July. These are my generations parents. The fact that an MD as stated above just described THINNING OUT THE HERD is disgusting. Don't you take an ethical obligation to do everything you can for a patient or for the health of the general population? It sickens me to think that I'm included in the millennial title by 2 years (1982 is when it started) but some of these kids they're interviewing in Florida make me sick. Fucking idiots. One was from Ohio (GO BUCKS) and Wisconsin. A lot of white trash/hicks in those two states. Who do you think they were listening to before they made this decision to ignore all medical advice? Everyone today is an expert at everything. In terms of self preservation. Do you think the United States of America would jeopardize financial ruin and collapse of the country if it wasn't completely necessary to take these measures? I'm not an expert and a rational person can only make rational, educated decisions with all the information considered. Right now, I wasn't taking this too seriously until Monday morning. Before Monday I had already voluntarily taken the step to not go to the gym and general perform logical safe practice as you would for any sterile environment. After Monday and paying attention to the market news I knew this was much more serious than previously anticipated. At this time I can only know what I know. If you don't read you are a low information person. I have all the credible and verifiable information at my disposal. What the prudent thing to do is to NOT ignore the recommendation of medical professionals. How can anyone know if this is overkill? How could you know if this wasn't enough? To say one or the other right now is impossible. Be rational. Read. Don't ignore professional advice. Buy time until DATA is reviewed and strategy is changed. There is already enough data suggesting the virus was spreading through healthy individuals for a month or so before first confirmed cases. The minute I saw Donald Trump look like his father came back from the dead, like the world just ended I knew this was serious. The carnival barker just realized the tent collapsed.

These numbers will sky rocket as more testing takes place. How can you really know what the true number of infections are when less than 1% of the population has been tested? Secondly, how can you re-open market places, arenas, retail until you test and rule out individuals in order to re-open the country. I don't see how you can reopen if you don't test. That would make the closing of everything futile.

So because you're a health care provider we should not criticize your statement? Objectivity decides if your statement is garbage. It has decided. I don't think you'll agree with the decision however.
Just want to be clear on your point. You're advocating we let people die because they're old? What age is the cutoff for the death squad?
This is the percent of the population that has been tested in AZ.
330 is what % of 5000000 = 0.01%
5 million people was the approximate number for the metro phoenix area. 330 is the total number of tests performed in the entire state according to this page on abc15.com.

and you're an MD?

Very Smart doing what your doing.
I just seen on the news this morning, a woman in the health care service had her daughter tested for the virus and is waiting over 9 days for results to come back she has quarantined her daughter and her husband is still leaving the house going to work.
What's wrong with this picture.
