If you fail to plan to plan to fail.

Is the water going to be turned off? I bet 90% of these new “emergency preppers” still don’t even have a pump action shotgun. Ewwwwwww, scary guns!!!

These people are so ignorant. What a great experiment our elites have just conducted. Every single one of you panic buyers are rats in a maze. You have performed exactly or even greater than your “betters” have expected you to! Congratulations! Now, turn in all weapons, get on your knees and turn towards mecca.

However, with a closet full of TP, they will remember their stupid until Trump is out of office.

Water?! Who is having their water turned off due to the virus?

I think they are confused into believing that this virus is what is really a stomach bug and everyone will get diarrhea. Of course that is not what C virus is at all. So they are hoarding toilet paper. Seriously, is that the first thing people run out of?

I do not get it.

“Is the water going to be turned off?”

If The SHTF in a big way, the people who run the utilities might not be real diligent about hauling their rears into work the next morn. I believe that’s the reasoning.

This stuff will be put up on craiglists, let go, and other peer to peer selling apps (the big guys like Amazon and ebay suspended all listings regarding coronavirus)

And if they don’t sell it for their 10x mark up, they will just return everything within 30 days.

Nobody needs a pallet of bottle water or that many paper towels, nobody

Uninformed ignorance on parade. They saw it on CNN or the internet so it must be true.

The guy in GA at least had some things that looked edible.

Nobody had toothpaste, floss, deodorant, shampoo, soap, ‘feminine supplies’, or any other necessity.

And WTF does everyone use all the paper towels for? A big pack lasts us nearly a year?

If they use that for TP, the muni sewer system may never recover...

That’s not actually true.

Unless they all plan to stop using TP?

They probably drink bottled water to begin with so they’ll use that up too.

Everyone should have 4-6 weeks of your ‘useables’ set aside, just in case. Always.

Store what you use/eat, eat/use what you store.

Then when ‘something happens’, you don’t have to go stand in line next to germy coughing people to get that.

At the ground zero in Hubei province, divide actuall number of infections confirmed by population of Hubei province, and you get 0.1%. Something to keep in mind without freaking out.

The democrat liberals WANT all of us to freak out to make Trump look bad. They are hoping covid-19 will be his Katrina.
Don’t fall for it. Learn the most important step to prevent infection...DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE with your hands if you have touched anything others have touched. That alone will prevent majority of infections. A cheap mask will help YOU from touching your OWN face. It will not stop virus because virus is way smaller than the openings in mask material.
