I live in fricken America! I shouldn’t have to stand in Soviet Union style lines to find Venezuela empty shelves! I’m mad as hell and don’t understand why everyone isn’t.

And do what about it?

This panic was created by government and the media.

Be that as it may, right now we need to decide what to do with what's been handed to us.

If you think being perpetually angry is going to do any good, have at it.

Personally, this has all firmed up my resolve that when this blows over, and it will, we will be COMPLETELY ready next time.

I have always been a bit of a prepper at heart. Good training, I guess, from my mom who grew up during the Depression.

So when this thing started breaking in China, I was watching the reports and what they were doing and decided that if this came to the US, we could see a similar situation.

So I started stocking up in Feb of stuff I knew we would not want to do without.

It was just a matter of buying a little extra each time I went out. and storing it away. So when TSHTF last week, I knew we were ready and didn't have to panic or go out and panic buy.

I’m stocked up more or less. Could use a few things but could easily do without. I’m going out tomorrow because a few of the stores have implemented an hr each morning for 65 and over to shop. I’m not going for me I’m going for my daughter who has 3 kids at home now since the schools shut down. By the time she gets there the shelves are bare. And now she has a sick kid at home too with about 2 doses of children’s Tylenol left. It’s ridiculous. And I’m taking an elderly neighbor with me who didn’t stock up because they didn’t see this coming. So yeah I’m pissed at our governments, states and feds, and the media for creating this mess. And it took the stores too long to implement quantity control. They should’ve never let people take out baskets and trolleys loaded to the gills with them when they saw the rush starting. A cluster____ all the way around.
