I calmly and methodically bought extra food, some masks, rubber gloves and toilet paper over a span of two weeks about 3 weeks ago. Never panicked and certainly not now that I’m ready for whatever might happen. If it’s nothing I’ll use all the stuff I have. I’ll eat the food, use the tp and use the masks and gloves for painting and yard projects.
I debated it, and decided that panicking was the best option. So I’m also well stocked now.
Prudent folks have done just that.
Everyone else? Well, they’re rolling the dice.
What does it hurt to have extra of items you/your family will use/eat/need, anyhow?
Same thing here, a little extra food, couple extra bottles of tylenol and motrin, some masks, gloves and such over the last month. We will eat the food and I will use the masks for grass cutting and my wife will use the gloves in the kitchen when she bakes. When I go to the grocery store next week same thing, extra items, but not a mad rush.
