Not to be a harbinger of doom – but my prediction is that Home Depot and others will start to ramp up sales deals as their overall sales start to fall because of the impact of COVID-19. “Non-essential stores and businesses” are being shut down in many locales – and those shut downs will likely continue and become more widespread as the disease spreads. My local HD – once a 24 hour operation – has cut hours in half – and may be forced to shut entirely.
Hopefully none of us we will part of grim death statistics – but rather will all be part of that group able to come back stronger than ever.
Jim Felt
Yes. To all of what you’ve said.
Plus wash your hands waay too much and don’t touch your face.
And be lucky if you live in a state where science is both believed and acted upon by your leaders and not “hunches”.
fred
This is not going to be the end of the world of mankind in it. But it will have profound impacts on our thoughts and how we live our lives for some time to come – at least until memories fade and/or we become too stupid to have learned from the mistakes of the past. All indications are that this will continue to ramp up for several months – with the examples of NY State and Washington State spreading. Let’s hope that the British models – citing death counts as his as 2.2 million in the US – will prove to be way out of line with reality. But we are on a curve (line on log paper) that seems to surpass what’s been happening in Italy. Also lets pray that our local state and federal governmental leaders are up to and step-up to the challenges and tasks ahead – and/or seek advise and counsel from those that are better qualified. This can well be the defining moment of all our lives for both good and bad if we and our leaders do the right things.
Back to tools and related businesses – economic slowdowns – even shutdowns during war can result in pent-up demand that triggers a boom following the end of the event. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that my ex-compatriots – tell me that new remodeling business has ceased to exist in our area (mostly a 3-state region) that is hard hit. They will be shutting down – meaning no earnings for much of the day-labor force that were being employed. No income for the business – while many costs like rents and debt-service will continue – will place a burden on the business. The plumbing businesses will continue – but mostly – if not exclusively – for emergency work. The metal/pipe fabrication shop has shut down completely as had the custom cabinet shop – both with crews out of work.

I can’t find it again, but I saw a rather detailed chart yesterday detailing what’s needed at different stages of spread – containment, mitigation, and suppression. Ignoring what could or should have been done, we’re now climbing to a peak, and once this peak passes we need widespread testing until a vaccine or therapies are available.
SARS and MERS helped some countries better prepare for what’s happening now. Daily news reports point to the success of South Korea, and how they’ve been better handling the COVID-19 epidemic, specifically crediting their widespread testing efforts. Testing efforts will continue and hopefully contribute to continued success in their containment efforts.
Hopefully we’ll learn the same lessons and will be better prepared for what might come in the future.
The data suggests we’re entering a peak now, and this next week or two will be difficult, with the situation made worse and prolonged if and when people break recommended protocol.
A big problem right now, aside from all the shortages, lack of testing, and economic issues, is that there’s no solidarity. There are reports of people violating containment efforts, and I can’t tune in to the news or news websites without being disgusted with the political drama.
We need our leadership to be on the same page with each other, and communities need to be on the same page each one another.
Things are going to be bad, but we’ll get through it together.

Stuart:
Sars and Mers were perhaps easier to control because they were deadlier. With COVID-19 – it looks like there may be a lot of “walking wounded” – infected and spreading the virus – but not having severe enough symptoms to stay in isolation.
Lots of folks (some seemingly more expert than us in epidemiology) agree with you. That is: until either the herd (60-70%) of the world population is infected – or we roll out a major vaccination program – we will be living with this for some time. Get over this hump – think we’re beyond it – startup business as usual – and a second or third spike in the curve will happen.
In earlier times – man would have blamed it on the Devil or God’s curse from sinfulness. Then when it passed they’d build a church – like the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute in Venice to thank God for their salvation and health. Similarly the Passion Play (Passionspiele) at Oberammergau – was initiated as thanks for deliverance from a plague. It was held like clockwork for over 400 years – once ever 10 years with the exception of 1940 because of WWII. My wife and I had booked a tour of Germany for this Spring – with tickets for the Play. 2020 with the current COVID-19 war is second time the play has been cancelled.
2020 may not be the time for passion plays or worship gatherings – but it certainly should not be the time for recriminations and second guessing. I agree with you that we all need to find a way to get on the same page – without government needing to step in with even more draconian measures. I’d hate to think that this that this is some affirmation of Malthus and his theories about what would control human population.
Meanwhile – while many of us are homebound and hunkered down – news of what’s happening in the world of tools – should prove a welcome distraction. So keep it coming if you can and stay healthy.
Stuart
Possibly – we’ve already seen clothing stores ramping up sales (but it could be a coincidence) – but deals like these are also often arranged for well in advance.
Bill Clay
Seeing this as well (sales), but with longer ship times (some 30 days).
Frank D
I have been expecting a lot more sales pitches as well, from store that will remain open physically, and can ship to home, or those who will do pickup or shipping only.
Trouble is the overall economic circumstances, employment, …
Who is going to spend on things?
Besides an absolute need to replace or need to repair, when times are this uncertain?
Jim Felt
fred. Yes.
And I’m in Portlandia where we’ve been under a Stay in Place order for a week. No eating in restaurants are open. Schools all closed.
Grocery stores/Costco/gas stations/takeout food outlets all booming. Comcast is doing gangbusters. First run films are opening on our 4K TVs.
Intentional isolation, washing our hands, incoming delivered package sanitizing and six feet of public separation may be our only actual defense for at least a year. Or more.
Oh. And Home Depot’s for now appear to be locally booming. But we’ve had a rare week of sunshine.

As a home Depot employee all I can say is WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SHOPPING RIGHT NOW? The past few days have been Black Friday level customer counts. Seriously people. If you dont NEED it then stay home. This is NOT a great time to go and do all those little projects you have been putting off. If They didn’t need to be done 6 months ago when you started them then they don’t need to be done now if it means you are going to be in the store shopping.
Frank D
Perhaps it varies by state or even zip code?
It was 6:30 am or 21:30 pm quiet the past couple days during my two very brief <5 min daytime am or pm visits.
Big Richard
I work part time in home improvement retail, saving up for a May wedding that might not even happen now, and I wonder the same thing. There are still a lot of people out shopping for things they absolutely do not need right this instant (paint desk has been very busy). My frustration levels are beyond comprehension. Worse yet, company policy does not allow us to throat punch customers.
