Went to the grocery store and found sign on bottled water isle limiting how much water "per household" one was "allowed" to buy.
Loaded my cart with the usual amount of water we buy, (over amount "allowed"), but I placed divider and said I was buying for two different households and paying separately The clerk told me I couldn't do that.
I said "Seriously? Are you trying to CAUSE a panic?"
I said "They are trying to cause panic", to the people behind me- They were told they were not "allowed" to buy all their water either. (They had 4 multi-bottle packs-only "allowed" to buy 2.)
So, could these "shortages" be fake (in order to cause panic)?
Remember Puerto Rico, where the democrats let the people suffer and starve after a hurricane, just to try and make President Trump look bad? Recall the warehouses found full of supplies, that were never given out? (Proves they are capable of this IMO.)
(And I also question why/how this virus managed to show up in nursing homes in leftist states, in the first place?
Just weird.
Something seems "off" about all of it.
And if something heinous has gone on- hope (and pray) those responsible are brought to justice. (Rant:Off)
You should have asked them to call the police.
Is anyone else suspicious of the “panic buying”?

Yes. The MSM got the ball rolling by posting predictions on when the shelves would be empty. See, they didn’t have empty shelves yet but they could tell the public to buy now before the shelves were empty - that moved the optics along more quickly. Those in the DS can simply slow deliveries or order stores to put up prohibitive notices like the ones you saw. DRUDGE is screaming about shoppers faced with empty shelves - you have to click the link and read down to see they are referring to a foreign country.
They can’t wait to disrupt delvieries, slow manufacturing sufficiently to the point they can photograph local stores with empty shelves - until then they keep supplying photos and screamer headlines.
No evidence of panic buying in my grocery store. The only TP in short supply was the type on sale, but that’s typical of this store. They don’t stock well for sale items.
As for water, some supply depletion, but nothing was out of stock. I think rumors of panic buying are greatly exaggerated.
