Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

[Mike CHS]

I ran into a completely unexpected side affect from the Covid-19 chaos going on. For a lot of years, I start my base garden from the oldest Seed Vault that I buy from an online company that deals with that type of thing along with survival type foods and gear. Even better than their variety and quality is their price for the volume of seeds you get. The seeds are well sealed and packaged. Anyway, I have my seeds started inside under lights and my routine is that once I do that, I get online and order another Seed Vault and will either plant or broadcast the seeds in the field.

To my surprise, they were sold out and not taking any new orders. Out of curiosity I looked at several other vendors that I have used and saw the same thing. Either out of stock or not taking new orders but finally got on Baker Creed and they do have their seed vault available so I went ahead and ordered it.

Some of the major suppliers like Johnnys are only filling orders for farmers at this time.

Don't even think about buying 9mm, .223 or 5.56 mm ammo at a decent price.

I have enough ammo in all our calibers but I'm sure you're right. A couple of years ago I ran across a killer buy on a case of .223 ammo at a gun show and picked it up. Of course I then had to buy a .223 rifle since that was something I didn't have.

I love it! Prime example of the tail wagging the dog.

I've got over 4000 rounds of 9mm and considering the indoor range I go to is closed, I think I'm good too.

I hope that rifle you bought was actually a 5.56 and not a .223?

We spoke to a friend today, she works in hospital supply sales. She talks to hospitals all over the country. She definitely thinks this virus will be around for a long time and as states open up, we will be hit with another wave. Something to think about.

This is a very good article on what it takes to get a vaccine to market.

My father is a top virologist who believes the coronavirus vaccines won't be ready for distribution until 2021 — here's why

"SARS-CoV2 vaccines will not be realistically available for another 12-18 months. And even then, we must be lucky every step of the way."

Oh @Baymule , you're sounding like my husband.

Personally I think you, he, and your friend are/is right.

In many areas, we have flattened the curve. Slowing down the cases does not mean that it is gone. As states open back up, the virus is going to come roaring back. I also think there will be an even greater run on food and essentials. Might be good idea to haunt the grocery stores and get stocked up on the things you need. I am mostly there. Just need some damned toilet paper! What a bunch of butt wipes for taking it all!!

We went through our garden seed today so we can share if it comes to that.
