We tend to order most of our seed spuds from Outside, from a reputable source we've dealt with for years now, and sometimes buy a variety or 3 locally. 15-18 lbs. (+/-) into a large flat-rate priority mail box.
When I ordered (which I did much later than usual, knowing that sometimes bites me in the ass due to an early rush), many of the more desirable varieties were still available.
If I were to make an observation, it would have been that the number of varieties from my mail-order source were more limited (they often advertise close to 4 doz. or more varieties of spud seeds), but the absence of a specific variety can be the result of breeding issues, and them bringing a variety back to square 1, to re-stabilize it, taking it out of circulation for a season.
Otherwise, I had no trouble getting the spuds we decided on, and they'll be here the end of this month; just a few days.
We went with 2 of 3 choices that were descendants of the typical spuds we grow here, but which are new to us, presuming they'll perform like their source seeds used in creating them. 1 of 3 was old-school typical for us.
As far as other veggie seeds, there was the usual selection at the Dept./grocery stores, including Ed Hume, Denali, etc., with a fair assortment of the standard varieties, as well as organic.
Can't say what's there now; we store our old unused seeds, surely didn't need to buy anything this year, and we're getting good vitality/viability out of even some of our oldest seeds, some of which are 7 years old now..
One of our local organic seed spud producers from an outlying community retired last year, and we'd buy a variety or 3 from him, on top of sometimes ordering 4-6 varieties from Outside, but.... that's not an option any more.
When your better local sources of mechanic work, seeds, medical care, butchering, etc.., get too old to continue on, and they retire, it takes away years of trust and research, causing one to start over again in finding good sources.
‘Controversial’ to who? Big pharmacy? You obviously are such a simp you don’t understand how medical ‘studies’ work do you? You think finding a cure is EVER big pharmacy end game? Not sure if you are a bootlicker or window licker at this point if honest. But keep donating to Susan Komen foundation. The execs enjoy their million dollar salaries
Do you feel dumb now that tRump said he was being sarcastic?
Good job on those papers. I bet your crew ate those things up!
the President, you know, Trump, just had a specialist who did and is doing research on UV affecting the virus' life span under different conditions, and he confirmed that UV does in fact kill or render inert covid19.

Medscape published the summary of a study sponsored by 4 or 5 sources, which I posted pages ago in this thread, which included UV as one method of cleansing masks, etc.
A friend in the SW US tells me to differentiate between UV-A, UV-B and UV-C, stating that UV-C is what I'm needing in the decontamination box we intend to build.
When discussing wattage for a UV-C bulb, for a 5-minute exposure, inside such a box with reflective interior, he stated 25-36 watts was suitable (smaller box for masks, gloves, etc.).
Though currently he's onto a concentrated ozone room for himself, for short exposure, with air supply from outside the area being treated with ozone, by breather tube, respirator, regulator, etc...
I have read supported conclusions re. UV as a decontamination method. I've not yet read up on the ozone stuff.

Who's questioning if UV is a disinfectant? Have you ever seen a UV water purifier? I looked it up quickly. That groundbreaking research hit the market in 1910. The history continues from there.
How long do you think it took to put covid-19 under a UV light to see if it destroyed it?
Groundbreaking stuff right there.

How Can UV Rays Damage Your Eyes?
Over time, the effects of UV rays may help cause a number of eye problems.
Type of UV Rays
There are two types of UV rays: UV-A and UV-B. Over time, the effects of UV rays may help cause a number of eye problems.
UV-A
can hurt your central vision. It can damage the macula, a part of the retina at the back of your eye.
UV-B
The front part of your eye (the cornea and the lens) absorbs most UV-B rays, but these rays may cause even more damage to your eyes than UV-A rays.
What Eye Problems Can UV Rays Cause?
Macular Degeneration
UV rays may lead to macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss for older Americans.
Cataract
UV rays, especially UV-B rays, may also cause some kinds of cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, the part of the eye that focuses the light we see.
Pterygium
Another UV-related problem is a growth called pterygium. This growth begins on the white of the eye and may involve the cornea. Eventually, the growth may block vision. It is more common in people who work outside in the sun and wind.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer around the eyelids is also linked to prolonged UV exposure.
Corneal Sunburn
Corneal sunburn, called photokeratitis, is the result of high short-term exposure to UV-B rays. Long hours at the beach or skiing without proper eye protection can cause this problem. It can be very painful and may cause temporary vision loss.

A small (reflective interior) UVC-lit box for masks and gloves was the intention; not to expose persons to it for any time period. 5 minutes was recommended for time for a mask or gloves under 25-36 watts UV-C, before turning them over for treating the under-side.
Ozone in higher concentration is damaging to soft lung tissue, which is why my friend is working out a small room (sitting space only) to expose himself to high levels of ozone, but breathing through a tube/respirator/etc. to not take high concentrations of ozone into his lungs.

I get an error message when I click on the link..
I witnessed some old lady flipping out at HD last week because she couldn't find any seed potatoes. She was wearing a mask but wasn't maintaining a proper distance and didn't bother to get out of the way for me and 2 other customers 3 separate times in 5 minutes. I was like chill the fuck out its just potatoes. Can they really be out.
I bought a huge bag of spuds and they spoiled very quickly. A couple turned to a gooey mess while the rest stank like shit and were all turning green. I wonder if a potato famine may be on the way.
Who knows they keep saying there's going to be famine everywhere, massive swarms of locusts, the return of the plague maybe its the end of days.

I haven't checked our local nursery outlet yet for seed spuds, though they had plenty of other seed packets when I was in there several weeks ago.
There are other commercial spud (and certified spud seed) farms here that grow decent spuds, but we've been spoiled by really good spud varieties, and it's hard to go back to random when awesome has been the routine.
I sometimes use the referenced nursery for immediate needs of more specialized sorts, for ganja-related nutes or more obscure amendments, when I don't mail order, or get the larger bulk items at the less expensive box stores (HD, Lowes, etc.), who tend to handle Sunshine Mix and Pro-Mix for less $$, as well as vermiculite and perlite at half the cost or less of many nurseries.
------------------
I joked the other day when someone went into town, re. the current malaise, the predictions of the SW US and Mexico being headed into a drought not seen in 1,000 years, the Virus, a town down the road a bit over 100 miles that has, for may years now, had infestations of grasshoppers/locusts that would cover our concrete footing on the house, in the summer at times, when we briefly lived there.
I jokingly asked the person over the phone, who was giving me the play-by-play of their town trip, if they'd seen any folks on the sidewalks who'd been turned into pillars of salt yet.
So, thus far, from what I can tell, there's been no shortage of seed spuds or veggie seeds here, though there was an article in the Anchorage Daily News several weeks ago, about making plans for gardens in absence of normal seed availability. I assumed they were talking about some of the remote villages, in the absence of as frequent of air traffic out to those places as might sometimes be more common, and which they rely on for mail and other freight..

If you live here in america....
Well..you heard it from Trump...FDA approves $119, at-home COVID-19 test kit. I Thought i heard Dr.Redfield say it was gonna be Free?
I think the idea is that LabCorp is gonna start with healthcare workers and front line responders to try and get them back in the workforce,” said Wilson.
After filling out a questionnaire, the company determines if you qualify for the test. For $119, a kit will be sent to you in the mail with everything needed to collect a sample. It’s unclear if the cost to perform the actual test is included.
But...Dr redfield said tedting would be covered for free testing...now if u want a test its 119.00
