There are two clickbait sites that are spreading the panic. One is the DM and the other is DR. They both get enormous traffic and in the DM's case publish non-stop photos of supermarkets with empty shelves and people in mobs in the stores. Many of the supermarkets are located in ethnic, low income and low education neighborhoods of NYC. Unfortunately the mania then spreads all over the five boroughs. Now people are acting insane. The markets are doing nothing to stop this as they are making money hand over fist. This is going to cause a critical mass. The trucks that deliver products all over the country can't keep up with demand. I didn't think it was this bad until I saw the latest pictures where high priced markets like Whole Foods are being cleaned out. So what I wrote about in a previous post is coming to fruition much more quickly than I thought. I would imagine many people have literally bought 3-6 months worth of food and supplies. How are restaurants going to be able to get food to prepare when people are going this nuts. They are suddenly not going to be able stay supplied to cook meals. This is a Doomsday Preppers dream. I went to some survivalists trade shows when I lived in Las Vegas years ago. Generators, weapons, freeze dried foods, you name it.
Spot on. If shit does hit the fan like that all these hoarders will be wishing they had bought ammo like I did and not TP

is serious business
It's happening here in Reno. I hadn't been able to get toilet paper or distilled water for 3 days, finally found some yesterday after driving around to random places. Home Depot's a good spot that hasn't been sacked. But Walmart has been gutted everyday of canned foods water, toilet paper, ect. Funny thing is they had plenty of OTC medication. No one's buying that stuff. Everyone's thinking everyone but them is gonna get sick. If things do go really bad, I think my pain relievers will fair well on the open market.
yesterday, costco was like a war zone. over 100 people outside waiting to get in
and that was 2 hours after the opening. i was there because I had to return something.
i had to park behind the Costco due to the parking lot frenzy. every register had at least
7 people in line, most with very full carts. the self serve registers were even more mobbed.
the aisles looked like LA traffic at rush hour. i didn't have the guts to actually try to buy
anything.
