that's not inflation, that's gouging. fine line. since I shop off a list (online) I am watching my total tick up incrementally. I'm up $30+ incrementally since I looked back to September for the same basic list. going to be an interesting ride.

Being in the medical field I anticipated how this Covid thing would play out and stocked up when kn95s first became available and continued to reorder each time good new resulted in price drops so I’m good for about another year, maybe more

I seriously tried to tell people all along to get them but no one wanted to or could afford the $1 —1.50 that the used to cost.

I know two people who went through the surgery. It took a few years but they each gained back 100 lbs -+ Now there heath is worse and they are more ashamed of themselves for placing themselves in this situation so they never mention their struggle. They just ignore it.

Grocery prices are going to get much worse if the drought in the west continues also shortages of some items. I noticed when I made my order yesterday, many items were listed as possibly unavailable. Climate change is real and this is only the beginning.

More like PRICE GOUGING, which is illegal but no one does anything about it.

There are still over 125 ships awaiting docking and unloading at Long Beach. They have them spaced all down the coast to he Mexican Border.

I can see them from my driveway. there are at least six directly offshore down here and they are all the way up and down the coast. and if you're really geeky, you can go to shipfinder.com and look at who's where pretty much all over the globe.

that's not inflation, that is price gouging - par for the course with this pandemic. Oh, BTW did you know that Melatonin can PREVENT most all deaths from COVID? According to a medical report I read this morning

Hold up! Katsolo, you can see water from your driveway? And not just your pool!? 😁 Cost of everything is so much higher... I personally especially see the rise in meat and produce impacting my family.

I can see the Pacific Ocean from my driveway and I can see Tijuana, Mexico from the middle of my street.

but I live more than a mile from the beach, it's a good distance for me to be. keeps the saltwater corrosion at bay

I order my KN95 masks from “Bona Fide Masks”, specifically the “Black Powecom ® KN95 Respirator Face Mask - Ear Loop - 10 masks per pack - Made to the NEW GB2626-2019 Standard with Better Breathability”. I went to directly to the CDC website where they have been verified by them as being real and followed a link from there to their site. The masks used to ship from China but now they’ve gotten US distribution and ship from NY. I pay about 17.00 for 20 masks. I hope this helps.

OSHA has cancelled the EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATION for these masks that are manufactured outside of the USA, not because there is anything wrong with the legitimate ones, but because we can apparently manufacture enough of our own. Do your homework, it seemly will be more difficult to tell the good ones from the bogus ones because we won’t have a number to reference on the OSHA website. Read the reviews.

Shea daddy— Melatonin does not prevent death. It is on a list of substances. ( along with LISTERINE, vit D, Zinc, the diuretic called Aldactone, and a host of others) that have been talked about which have properties and mechanisms of action, that may be worth trying for prevention and or treatment of COVID. THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET YET.. you have to do the literature search for recommended doses and the explanation for how these meds might be helpful.
