Goodness, I hate to see what “panic” looks like! My husband was talking to a friend who told him he witnessed 2 guys literally rolling on the floor fighting over the last package of toilet paper at Costco.

If this gets going at all in the states there’ll be panic.

But less so than if this had hit completely out of the blue rather than being an undercurrent.

As it is, there’s been warning enough for the past month that there’s been the opportunity to stock up without disrupting things. Likewise, companies have begun making preparation for more work-from-home and other basic precautions.

The more people there are who prepared, the less likely they are to need to prepare. :)

Sounds like the shoving and hair pulling over Christmas toys in years past. I think it might be the desire to acquire, rather than any dire need at this point. Some people get too caught up in it. I am doing my best to stay out of the fray.

i know- things will get crazy very quickly- just look what happens when Popeye’s Chicken runs short on chicken and people have to wait a few extra minutes- they go berzerk- think what will happen when the toilet paper runs out, or the canned spam runs out-
