Scenes from a panicked populace.
My actual experience | 3/14/2020 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 03/14/2020 4:18:31 PM PDT by Lazamataz

I want to share with you some scenes that greeted me at my local Kroger today.

These are scenes from a panicked populace.

Like locusts, they are stripping the shelves bare.


Kroger Toilet Paper aisle.


Kroger Deli Meat aisle.


Kroger bottled water aisle.

How about Orson Welles’ broadcast of War of the Worlds?

Keep Buc-EES on the radar.
Where else can you purchase five-gallon buckets of bacon fat?

“Well we have a ton of idiots who desire panic”

Review #87. It’s exactly the same as 1918, just before the undeniable tsunami hit.

I topped off the oversized gas tank in the pick’em up truck at $1.849 a couple days ago. The wife filled the kid’s truck Friday at $1.759 the following day. A week ago it was $2.159.

Can anybody spare an empty 1000 gallon tank?

As I said to someone in the grocery line yesterday. “All those folks who are buying cases of toilet paper probably thought I was crazy when I buy 5000 rounds of ammo. But I can get more toilet paper with ammo than they can get ammo with toilet paper.”

Yeah. Italy is faking killing 100s of their people a day just to induce panic in the USA.

See #87.

After this “crisis” passes, I’m going full prepper. Never again will I put up with this madness ... I’ll already have everything I need in hand.

Glad you are on board now; wish you had been before. :^/

Yeah, it’s all just a fake. Fake italians killing themselves, just to panic Americans.

See #87.

I blame this on the media whores and the cabal that wants POTUS Trump gone. This crisis is their wet dream and working like a charm. We have lost half the country. A REAL SHTF will be the true game changer.

We recently bought a house in NH and there’s a dairy farm nearby and they are allowed to sell raw milk to anyone. There are little roadside stands all over the place that sell eggs.

My son was laughing at the people bemoaning that they can’t get any milk. That far out in the country, there are plenty of places to get milk and eggs. You just have to learn about them and do it.

I have someone heavily stressing I need to purchase my rifle and 1000 rounds of ammo post haste.

I’ve stocked up and today was my basic grocery shopping. Friends have been posting pictures.

I’m already reassessing, some people are idiots and then there are the rest of us :)

I just ate at a local Mexican restaurant. Had plenty to eat,. I wasn’t in the mood to check out a grocery store.

Oh no, not at all.
There are people who are pushing the panic on this site who are considered reliable sources by people who would never pay attention to some guy talking on television. Do not even think that it is possible to pretend many people here are not just as big a piece of the problem.

Now obviously as the years go by they will have the posts they are making now drug back out and their noses will be rubbed in their rhetoric for many years. It would still be better if they would act responsibly.

New B.C. cases today included 3 hospital workers at a single hospital and another long-term care facility.

Many health care workers in B.C. are contract workers, covering multiple institutions in the course of a month. It won't take long for the virus to spread far and wide.
