    I stopped drinking. It weakens your immune system. I've got enough going on without that.

    Why not? You want people to starve instead? It's like you've never heard of risk balancing... or you're trolling...

    Pubs are shut, but supermarkets are still selling cheap booze so who knows? I rarely drink these days anyway, so the lockdown isn't impacting me .
    I doubt the minimum price per unit in Scotland makes much difference to consumption either

    nah buy an AR-15!

    Gun dealers say sales are up as LA and other cities classify stores as 'essential' | Daily Mail Online

    US gun dealers say sales are exploding as Americans arm themselves with 'shotguns, handguns and AR-15s' amid panic over the coronavirus and Los Angeles and other cities classify stores as 'essential'

    • US gun sellers say sales are way up as Americans rush to protect themselves from a possible coronavirus panic
    • Buyers are purchasing guns and ammunition in the event they have to defend themselves from people who become desperate and unpredictable
    • One seller says 'a lot of people are buying shotguns, handguns, AR-15 (semi-automatic rifles), everything,' and that she is now open seven days a week
    • Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva also has allowed the stores to stay open, after the county's attorney classified them as 'essential'
    • San Diego's Sheriff Bill Gore also allowed the shops to remain open, saying they provide a 'valuable public service'
    • According to data from the FBI, just over 5.5 million background checks were conducted in January and February combined
    • Such checks generally rise in an election year, as they did in 2016. But this past January and February have outpaced 2016 by nearly 350,000
