Come on, Margie...you know that ain't right. "Possible" means 'not impossible'...whereas "probable" means 'likely'. Surely you can see the difference in the two terms...Thesaurus.com notwithstanding.

All I know is that I went to the supermarket on Friday and shopped for items that I needed for the weekend. I went again today and got food and supplies that will get us through Sunday most likely. Both times, the stores were easy to navigate and had the items that I needed. Hopefully it stays that way.
What pisses me off is the mass hysteria that is caused by the media with messages such as, "Make sure you are stocked with enough necessities for at least two weeks or more". WHY????? Is this an airborne virus that we are going to catch if we breathe the outside air? Is something else coming behind this that we are not aware of? Markets are open people!! Shop normally!!
Why can't people act sanely and shop like they normally do on any other given day? I know the answer, it's because if they do, then the 5% (which are the crazies) will have horded everything up.
I'm hoping and expecting my trip to the market on Sunday is as successful as the last two I mentioned....I plan on buying Milk, eggs, OJ, cereal (1 Box), Produce, paper towels, chips and pretzels. I plan on spending about $30.
Thankfully, my mother in law shops at Sams club and out TP and bottled water stock is just fine.

To put it another way...it's "possible" for ReplayRandall's prognostications to eventually be proven right...but it isn't "likely".

To go back to the original word in dispute..."plausible" can also connote "likely," although not as relevant as possibly "seemingly."

But then again, this has been (at least partly) WHAT IT'S ALL BEEN ABOUT.
Bravo. You finally win. You can have Trump and do what you want with him.
I surrender.
Now give me my country back.

Trump is doing a great job. A perfect ten.
You haven’t met reality in a long time on this.
