Watch the naysayers coming here and demand that these are ‘lies’.
Grocers cannot keep a lot of merchandise in stock for long.

Going hungry and dying in a famine are totally different things.

So many Covid deaths, right? Or is it “So many Covid-overreaction deaths”?

Fear mongering.
I’m sure there are issues and problems. But the sky falling rhetoric is meant to stoke fear and more importantly emotion.

The pandemic didn’t disrupt supply chains — the government disrupted the supply chains.
Most of our poor people are fat. Hunger is not a real issue in the US.
The fear-mongering is just continuing. Pretty soon we will be shutdown until someone invents a vaccine for hunger.

Another negative side effect of the scamdemic shutdown.

There’s plenty of food....distributing it to those who aren’t working or have to stay shut in without transportation is the issue.

Yep. It will be a shock to some to realize globalists would starve 120MM people to hold on to their power. Some will still vote democrat.

OK, calm down, this is more Big Media fearmongering.
That stat is because groceries are set up as a "just-in-time" delivery system, i.e., as soon as trailers arrive at the warehouse/distribution center, the products are shipped out to the local retail stores - so the total time from field or factory to retail store is about 3-4 days.
It's a continuous, non-stop system. Food doesn't just disappear, so IF the supplies ever stop, you'll hear about it long before the shortage shows up in the store, because it WILL be big news.
Right now, things are still going somewhat normally (I work at a Walmart warehouse, we're getting tons of the Kellogg's products from the summer harvest)
