Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.

"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It. But what about food? Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

I need to get to work, but this seems appropriate for this. First, I know by experience that God’s principles are true and trustworthy. Second, my Dad was a minister and he used this little humorous story one time to illustrate how we might sometimes misinterpret what God is saying to us:

A farmer went out on his porch one morning, looked up in the sky, and saw clouds making the letters “GP”. He immediately interpreted that as inspiration to “go preach”. So he did.

Time rocked on for a little while and he was not having any success at all in his preaching ministry. So he finally concluded that “GP” didn’t mean “go preach” at all . . . it meant “go plow”!!!

There’s probably 8 to 14 months worth of food and and necessary ingredients to make pasta, bread, and other stuff in my pantry right now.

Haven’t been shopping in about 5 months, don’t need to.

Do all my own canning and dehydrating of vegetables, fruit and meat.

Don’t like going to town and do it as little as possible.

When I was first learning to can - butter was so easy that I’ve now got so much that I’m thinking about selling it mail order. Keeps practically forever.

You can butter?

I guess someone on YouTube gave people how to fight Coronavirus with the following items: 10 loaves of bread, 20 pounds of meat, 50 bottles of hand sanitizer and 75 cases of toilet paper!! 😋

“Wonder what they do with the bacteria on the eggs?”

Same as they’ve done since man started eating what came out of birds’ vents.

[Deplorable American1776]

And those are more items to fight Coronavirus, according to the 'person' on YouTube... 😋

Whenever I melt putter and it resolidifies, it gets nasty and grainy.

Does that happen with the canned butter?

[Deplorable American1776]

Well; garlic scares away Vampires,

so it ought to work on coronaVirus; too. Right?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I think it’s because people are finding ways to avoid going out to shop and bump into other people.

Whenever I melt putter and it resolidifies, it gets nasty and grainy.

Then what do you use to knock the ball into the hole on the green?

It’s not even like the p and the b are close to each other.

I hate getting old.........

Do you think this will teach people to have an emergency supply of food on hand.

[Elsie]

Some; yes.

Others; no.

If you ask your fellow Mormons if they have an adequate supply on hand; do you think they’ll tell you the truth?
