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

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.

There’s no such thing as “enough ammo.”

I think predominately Hong Kong.

Seattle is the epicentre in the area with so many tech ties. Anyone visiting Washington from B.C. is now required to stay away from school and work for 14 days upon returning to the province, but I don’t think that in the end that is going to serve to hold.

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

Toronto and the GTA have about 40% of the Canadian total. There are only a couple unexplained, but that can mushroom quickly.

And B.C. and Ontario are running low on Swabs—or so the story goes—and are going to be cutting back on testing of people who have enough things that point to them having it. This will slow the increase of official figures, but points to things getting out of hand.

Laz..... Will a black bandana and Biden-style aviator glasses help protect against CV_19?

  The Antifa group seems to escape using this type of protective gear.

I went to my local Wegman's yesterday morning and traffic seem just a little busier than usual.
  My friend went this morning (same town, different Wegman's) and there wasn't a shopping cart to be had!
  Today my son went shopping, (Wegman's, different town) and he said it was normal.
WTH knows what to expect?

Compare and contrast the press treatment of Trudeau vs that of Trump.

I just blew my nose and a bat wing came out.
Should I be concerned?

Nah, but if one of these pops out...

...you should make sure you have some ice to put on it.

The stores are all going to make their quarterly sales goals..

And cumulative annual as well perhaps.

One thing for certain

We ALL are going to die.

Some today, some tomorrow, some in 30 years etc but we ALL are going to die, yes, no sense pushing it but .....

It is a fact that EVERYONE that had a cold during the Civil War died.

Similar situation here I’m Columbia, SC.

Lowes Foods is a couple blocks away. Plenty of stuff except for the TP and related. No panic buying and most dining is open and fairly full lots.

It just shows the enormous power MSM still has. They have cultivated this panic and hysteria and they ravaged the economy in the hopes that this will finally destroy Trump. I live in a small town and the Kroger is wiped out of many items. It’s ridiculous. What do these people think the country is going to look like in four days? It is going to look like it does today get a grip people.
