This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
And also hoarding TP is one of the stupidest things to hoard, because one can 100% improvise other stuff for your toilet needs when you run out of toilet paper, whereas if you run out of food, water and ammunition you're into unmitigated disaster (assuming you're paranoid enough to consider that you need to hoard 3 months of supplies)
And why are they hoarding stuff that goes stale in 1 month or needs constant refrigeration?? You should have at least gotten some beans (natural form) and even if you're a picky eater needing you emergency food to taste good, you could have gotten some raisins or dried apricots or natural chees - which is a preserved food in itself!
You are right -- though getting overweight people (the problematic people here) who sustained on microwave dinners and pizzas to live off sprouts might be a stretch for them :DD
They could likely have tolerated a new diet of corn flakes and raisins and milk, or eat cheese, but from the look of the panic buying many seems to be too dumb and chose the wrong stockpile there......
We didn’t fall for the panic, and didn’t grab toilet paper our last grocery trip last week. We had 4 rolls so we thought we were good. Now we are down to 1 roll in each bathroom (2). Can’t find TP anywhere. Since I’m a lady, I started using a washcloth to wipe, and save the TP for poo wiping. Insane that I’m even writing this.
Why TP!?!! We are stocked on food, and like you said, we have more than enough wash clothes WHEN we get to the point of having no TP.
Set the alarm and go to the store at about 5am. go to a grocery store that isn't as popular. there was plenty when i went.
Buy MREs and dehydrated canned goods.
I’m allergic to all the food you listed 😂
