“Interesting article that explains the reaction by both sides to the unfolding saga of the corona virus. 70% will refuse to see disasters as disasters until it’s too late.”

It does seem that way. By the time they figure out that they need toilet paper, for example, they’ll find themselves limited to one package at Costco, and will wind up having to drive to 4 of them just to get a half-decent supply - and that even assumes that Costco even allows that, since they can easily set a limit of, say, one package per week, per membership. Want two packages - then open a new membership. LOL.

The other thing they’ll find is why many of us chose to prepare PRIOR to the chaos...which is that we’d much rather NOT have to stand in line after line for things, with people who may or may not be healthy.

Exactly. It's going to happen. It's happened everywhere else the virus hit. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. If everyone prepared early there would be no panic. Instead we have people telling us it's stupid to prepare because the ship isn't sinking!
