“Texans don’t need to rush out and stock up on groceries or household items: There’s no shortage if everyone takes only what they need.
That’s the message from Texas officials and industry representatives, who say preparing for a health disaster like the state’s COVID-19 outbreaks is different from a natural disaster.”
There is a hurricane headed straight for TX and it’s name is Coronavirus. There is a huge difference between trekking out today vs. trekking out for more tp in 2 weeks when there’s an inch of CV shedding all over.

That was my rationale for not ‘waiting’ to see if it was real (as if China faked their Wuhan response). I saw people in Asia lined up for masks...really not even lined up, since they were 10-across, just a mass of humanity, with many of them likely sick.
So I figured it was best to hit the stores when they were empty (in the mornings), no purchase limits, no shortages, and very few, if any virus shedders. And 90% of what I bought, I would use later regardless.
...and many others here did the same, and were ridiculed. Ridiculed by those now standing in those lines, some of them, no doubt, picking up the virus right there in line.
