Toilet paper, disinfectant and groceries are once again flying off the shelves across the United States with states forced to impose stricter lockdowns and the number of new COVID-19 cases spiking to 166,000 Monday.
Pictures taken in recent days show stores in Washington, California, Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Michigan and Missouri have all been affected by the rush. It is the second time this year that shoppers appear to be panic buying; stores were left scrambling to restock shelves wiped out in response to COVID-19 back in March.
But experts say the run is likely to be less severe this time as stores and shoppers are more prepared. Subodha Kumar, a supply chain expert at Temple University, told The Daily Beast: 'People have already hoarded a lot of this stuff in their basements.'

Democrat states?
I’m starting to see this at our local Walmart and HEB stores, and we’re in Texas. Sadly, you can’t help but get caught up in the frenzy, as we’re stocking up a bit extra. Our earthquake preparedness having lived in California during Loma Prieta (1989) saved us during the panic buying earlier this year.
Just to be on the safe side, I bought monster sized bundles of Scott toilet paper and paper towels. Picked up my Thanksgiving stuff already too (except the fresh veggies). Not taking a chance. Oh yea...my cats have enough food for months as well :)
Vitamin D
Zinc
Vitmin C
Zinc ionophores (Quercetin, Ecgc = green tea extract)
Rye Whiskey sour with a splash of Scotch for smokiness
I have kept my freezer and pantry well stocked since April.
How full are the hospitals?
A good friend has had covid for a month. She has been in the hospital since Nov. 1 and was in ICU for 12 days. She is going home today (Thank God)! They treated her with steroid, heparin and vitamins.
I haven’t seen or heard about anything like that here in Houston.
People are stocking up because they don’t want to wait two hours in line to buy stuff because these Governors told businesses they can’t have more than 25% of occupancy during lock down.
Modern humans aren’t up to being Free.

My whole view of the word has changed
I guess that comes with age
I don’t believe there is good in every man
Like I did back then
I may drink more than I should
You’ve seen me on the floor
I’ve spent my lifetime in this cage
I built around me
Banging on the doors

Thank you for reminding me to get more cat food.
My local Hoosier Dollar General had full racks of tp yesterday
That’s my regimen, but no booze.

In NY and Penna , major grocery stores are restricting the quantities of:
sanitizer & wipes,
toilet paper,
Peanutbutter,
and oatmeal.
Other supplies, ye to be determined.
Prepper ping.
During the summer a number of TP and paper towel manufacturers were allowing you to order direct from them. That may still be the case. Of course, one probably had to order a Costco sized shipment.
