BUT, my heart was warmed by this encouraging sign. It's good to know that California STILL has its priorities straight.
No actually, what are these people thinking? Really, why are they doing this?
I’ve heard because they won’t have to be in a public place like a grocery store for awhile. Sounds ludicrous but I can’t figure out what these people are thinking.
I’m old, and my company is allowing me to work from home.
I made sure the freezer was full of stuff we would want to eat, the pantry is stocked, and yes I got toilet paper a week ago before the rush.
I also got cash from the ATM, figuring now is the time to get relatively DRM-free money.
Tomorrow morning I’ll visit the produce store, and then hunker down for a while.
My wife and I went last night to Sam’s club to do our regular shopping for home and office. I never saw the place so crowded and the aisles were mostly empty. I overheard the butcher talking to a customer explaining he needs to arrive at 6 am otherwise the meat will be gone .
Expect a baby boom in nine months!
Baby boom in 9m
Some people aren’t thinking about what to eat if they are sick. They’re not going to want heavy meals.
Fear, anxiety, on all faces. Overheard one woman ask her husband why are we doing this? A woman looked me in the eyes, she was confused and overwhelmed, obviously wanting reassurance. Some were looking at other shoppers like they were zombies.
Panic is on the brink.
If you are set with supplies now, make sure you have ammunition too: if civilizations breaks down, the uglies will be coming to take what you have.
Upstate SC Walmart was crowded but with no overt panic on display. All paper goods nearly gone. Cleaning supplies gone. Frozen foods, deli items, meat and bottle water scarce. Yet across the road Lowes had ample supplies of paper products and water, but were rationing purchases.

Harris Teeter in NC will close at 9PM to give their employees time to catch-up.
This will be every night per an email from them.
I haven’t needed anything as I buy 1 year of paper products every December.
Was at Meijer yesterday.
Ground beef...sold out.
Chicken...sold out.
Canned tuna...sold out.
Plenty of bacon...fools.
Absolute stupidity. There will be another delivery truck before the next ad day
People don’t know how to prepare
A lot of ignorant people overreacting. However, I did say around 2-17 that we were going to see major fall out from all of this. The governments’ reactions told me so.
On Long Island -
Store I went to was just restocking all of its bread, so no problem there. As far as milk they had skim and a little overpriced organic only. No fresh chicken, only ground beef they had was organic also. They had fancier brands of pasta, but no store brand or Barilla. And no paper goods at all.
Still all in all, nothing too bad as long as you didn’t need paper goods.
I remember when I was a kid a lightning strike set off a fire at a stockyard. When we got close I saw a bunch of them humping each other. One of the firemen told us that this is what they do when they panicking. I guess we are not like cattle afterall.
