What responsibility do people who believe the media have in this? How about an education system that has degenerated into a big self-esteem program, refusing to teach critical thinking?

Truck them up there, but don’t tell them how to ‘reconstitute the surface before using.’

Hope you are correct, that would not be good, especially in two weeks, when spoiled milk starts getting dumped . . .

I bought 5 gallons worth of milk powder before things went crazy. I have two little ones.

Not here. Prepared for this after seeing what was happening in every other country.

I topped off my meat supply at bolt hole #1 (of 2) on Monday. I think I can make it through November, if I really squeeze it hard. Comfortably through June for sure.

Time to load up on anchovies, calves’ liver and kale while there’s still some left.

First sign of looting anywhere is my trup switch to boogie.

I have a grocery store across the Main Street from me. Just me and hubby at home but I still buy in bulk when something is on sale. Awhile back Grocery Outlet had a clearance table of espresso coffee. I bought it all for $1.99 each. Smart and Final had the tp I like for $3.99 a double roll 12 pack. I loaded up the car. I’ve always done that. Not a preppier or anything I just don’t like having to think about stuff. Lol

Must be your location. Fred Meyer where I am is sold of of TP and certain cleaning supplies like disinfecting wipes, liquid soap, etc. Other stores like Wal-Mart and Target are pretty much the same with empty shelves of certain products.

Yes. Bought 15 lbs. - not sure how much that makes, in terms of gallons of liquid.

That’s mighty optimistic.

The way Corp. America is responding to this, life may not return to normal soon. And if a few feminized libs or high sprung idiot preppers lose their cool over what’s left of the toilet paper and a mass riot ensues, it’s LA Riots all over again.

I don’t think this drug addicted selfish society can remain calm for long.

I was amazed yesterday when I stopped by our local military base commissary to pick up a couple of things and the place was packed with many of the shelves picked clean.

This is a really contrived panic that the president now has to deal with when it is less of a threat overall than the seasonal flu. I have noted that the administration has been emphasizing that for 98% of the population this is not a dire threat and that the emphasis has to be put on protecting at risk individuals such as the old and infirm and those with compromised immune systems. They are working to tamp down the panic across the board.

Believe it or not, there are a number of people who do not consider tap water drinkable. Ironically NYC has some of the cleanest, purest, tap water in the world but most prefer to pay $4 for a 20oz bottle of spring water at the Duane Reade or Pret A Manger.

Well, well, well.

Look at the media all surprised in the hysterics that they created.
