“Stores including Kroger and Costco ration water, rice and hand sanitizer as shoppers stock up on their ‘pandemic pantries’ amid fears malls will become ghost towns due to coronavirus outbreak”
Yes, this was expected. This may help the ‘normalcy bias’d’ bunch understand that the ‘effects’ of this virus are REAL...and perhaps lead them out of their denial. After all, when was the last time that Costco (or Kroger) rationed ANYTHING?
HEB grocery stores in TX are rationing cleaning products but also things like cream cheese.
