Post 46 hit the nail on the head they are a confused lot of sheep.
In the burbs where we live, many have such pretty, empty garages...except their gleaming car/s....ours has containers along walls...and isn’t so pretty, but we just quietly stay prepared.
We use a Berkeley every day to clean our tap water,

We have a filter on the tap we use for drinking water.
Same here. Those large Rubbermaid tubs with lids can be stacked.
Uh oh...look at #1 to #4 — all the stuff we need to keep the scare going on FR.
Thanks. You are exactly right. There was orderly buying of supplies, but no panic.
Women’s clothing should be a line item on that list
That’s actually not true. It’s never to late to stock up on food that will last you a month, and it’s not hard to do at all. I did it just this weekend and am now all set. Don’t discourage those just beginning.
It’s not too late...
You can buy a lifestraw on Amazon...
The biggest problem is if your local water company doesn’t have replacement parts for some of their pumps... If water’s coming out the faucet it can be cleaned up.
If NOTHING comes out the faucet a two week’s supple is enough to get you to grandma’s house in a small town with a lake near by...
Do you live in California?
17. Women’s clothing (not knit or crochet) $23 billion -7.4%
from link: The top export destinations of China are the United States ($476B), Hong Kong ($255B), Japan ($157B), Germany ($109B) and South Korea ($98.1B). The top import origins are Other Asia ($151B), South Korea ($149B), Japan ($136B), the United States ($133B) and Germany ($95B). China borders Afghanistan, Bhutan, Hong Kong, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Macau, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, North Korea, Tajikistan, Vietnam and Russia by land and Brunei, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan by sea.
Best to watch patterns... see if the top export destinations of China correlate with corona virus spread...
Iran not on that list??
We’ve got a nice pristine mountain lake a hundred yards from us. Just need some water purification system. I guess a big plastic barrel and a bit of Clorox would do in a pinch. Hauling 5 gallon buckets would get tiring, though.
We did that in 1969 when my uncle “finished” his house in Ketchum, ID. The water hadn’t been turned on when we visited that summer, so we made many trips down to nearby Big Wood River with buckets!
Yep.
I live here ...in Los Angeles. Furthermore, being retired, I am in the stores daily .... absolute NO HOARDING behavior seen anywhere.
“I find it funny people buying bottled water when even if the virus hits hard the taps will still be running.”

It needs to be noted that millions of Cali folks prefer their water bottled. Those that buy bottled to begin with are the ones going nuts at this time for the bottled water in stock.
