Hey, if you need toilet paper and can't find any in your city, get online and search "commercial toil paper suppliers." I just bought a case of 2 ply, 400 sheets per roll for $34. There are 96 rolls in a case. Shipping is extra but it is still much cheaper than the grocery store and available. We will have enough to last to next year.

I have been unable to find any here for 5 weeks now. I am honestly tired of going store to store and seeing empty shelves.

Im in the hotel biz so i know tp. You bought the cheapest 2 ply you could find huh? Lol $45-50 is where you wanna be if you want decent quality vs cost

Ok hold on a cotton picking minute here. They shut down the economy for a virus with a 97% recovery rate....but didnt factor in the thousands and thousands that didnt get tested and recovered and youre at a recovery rate over 99%. Then go and read this bullshit! Cdc is making hospitals report the death as a c19 death even if they werent tested and it appears they MAY have died from c19.

This is not ok. They are doing this in NY. In one county the county is reported 149 deaths but the state said 375. Wtf is wrong with these people.

“They were arrested for two counts of grand theft, two counts of possession of stolen property and two counts of felony drug possession, according to a department news release. The trio also faces four counts of misdemeanor drug violations and “felony looting during a state of emergency.”

In the vehicle was a considerable amount of retail merchandise valued at over $3,000 including baby formula, diapers, bottled water, cosmetics, and perishable food items.”

baby formula, diapers, water bottles and perishable food items = necessities



it has begun on a small scale for now. it’s going to get a lot worse from here on out

That hasn't even begun, yet. Wait until misunderstood, having a bad day, inner city young people forage for their necessities.


So.... is there like some kind of tax i can pay to make all this go away or does that only work with climate change?

I am a cheap skate.........it drives my wife nuts. We got to the grocery store and we get the generic 1 ply. So yea, I bought the cheapest I could find. When I was in the hospitality industry we always used the big jumbo rolls that lock into a dispenser. Hard to steal and hard to toss them in a toilet and fuck it up. They do have some 500 and 1000 sheet 2 ply for $40+ but you are just getting more sheets per roll, not better quality. 2 ply will be luxury for us, I figure why pay more for paper I am going to wipe my ass with and flush down the toilet.:)

Once when I was married, I was accused for the same...Cheap!....However, I always found that when I did succumb to my ex-wife's badgering to get the softer tissue (way more expensive), all it did was stick to my azz...I would have an enormous amount of "nat" bread stuck in my butt by the end of the day...Yet, the el cheapo would wipe clean as a whistle!!!!

1. Started my shift with 7 patients. 2 passed before the end of my shift.

2. Day 2 of reusing our cleaned and sterilized n95 mask.

3. The ultraviolet light that was once used to sterilize and disinfect rooms that were cleaned is no more.

4. More retesting thinking false positives and false negatives.

5. The hospital is low on oxygen so there are oxygen trucks scattered around the hospital.

6. Back to the 7 patients for 1 RN. this is extremely difficult. I was with one patient age 91 for well over 1 hour. I had to feed, clean, change bedding, clean the room. Just went a take off the PPE, he asked me for water. I suited back up, gave him water and then his roomate had a bowel movement while in bed. So the process started all over again. Wearing an n95 mask in a hot room.


Post a friend made on another board:


After working long days and long hours straight , i finally get a chance to write, I dont know where to start, nor am i a good writer. But i just had to tell my sentiment, coz maybe someone out there would listen.

not a single day that pass in the ER, that we (MD RN RT TECH) need to intubate someone. Its not the physical or mental work that we do everyday, that drains me, coz we are trained to handle and take care of this kind of situation and patients everyday. But hearing the life of each person we intubate, is what puts me on my one last leg.

I had a wife crying of a 28 yr old healthy male
with a 2 mo old baby, Begging to keep her husband alive. A retired MD veteran with copd telling me prior intubation, i don’t want to die yet, i had to blow my cake, my 70th birthday its coming up, i think they preparing a big party for me. A 58 yr old female with cancer telling me that her daughter doesn’t know that shes in the hospital asking if she can see her before intubation because she might not see her alive again. And all i can say is I’m sorry, These are just a few of each person’s story and it hurts everytime. Coz im human.

Everyday in my car, i have to stay still for 30 minutes to decompress and pray, to help this patients to get through this and go home alive, To give us, all the frontliners the strength, courage, strong mind and keep us safe to continue to do what we have to do, to help, scientists to discover a vaccine/ medication to stop this virus, to give us the proper PPE so we wont be running around the department looking for stuff we need, and to go home safe to our family, not scared, hoping not to contract the virus, coz my 6 yr and 4 yr are waiting for me. I hope this dust will all settle soon.

To everyone i had worked with, my high salute to everyone, its always an honor to work with u guys, ur dedication and perseverance are undying.
So if social distancing, washing hands, staying home is the key to stop the spread of this COVID19. PLEASE do

Patients are dying alone in many cases. There are exceptions made for some....but most are alone because death comes quick. Families, if they want, can see their departed after we do Post Mortem Care. No guest allowed other wise.

Another post made by a friend


Sigh, escorting family to see their loved one who passed away bc of this damn virus is gut wrenching and so sad to see. This thing isn't a joke, stay at home for your family, your friends, for everyone. If not being able to go out, or toilet paper is your current concerns, consider yourself lucky.
