I wish I had never walked into that store, I just wanted some bananas I could have gone without the bananas and saved myself the absolute heartbreak I feel today!!!

It is _not_ ok to panic.
Did you not realize what you would walk into?
Have you been under a rock for the past week?
Walmart.com is out of flour. All wheat flour. There are 4 bags (or were) supposedly available at the one closest to us as of this afternoon.
I think you're attaching far too much negative meaning to the empty shelves you saw at the Walmart. Massive numbers of people have decided they need to stock up and possibly remain at home for two or more weeks. So, they're buying ahead on the items they'll need.
After this major spike in retail purchases levels off, the stores will be able to restock and you might go back to that same store and find shelves filled out to the edge and very few people shopping.
I'm been buying extra quantities since mid-February and will probably purchase very little for the next three or four weeks, or more.
The same thing has happened often before in more limited areas when dangerous weather approached various states. Then the stores restock and things go back to normal.
We should keep track of the threats posed by the virus, but the bare shelves in stores only indicate an unusual spike in buying that will level off.

Here’s to bananas. Especially the big bag I bought for $1 way back at the beginning. We ate a bunch, put some in our oatmeal, dehydrated two batches of chips and froze some for banana bread.
