I stocked up on my beloved Cottonelle with Aloe a couple of weeks ago when I was doing prep for a potential quarantine situation (making sure we have enough non perishable food in the pantry) before all the sheep got wise to COV-19.

Not because I'll need it in the event that happens, but because I knew the dummies who had no clue about what was coming we still be dummies when they went to the store and buy up all the toilet paper. And then there wouldn't be any when a person like myself just needed 1 pack for normal supply replenishment.



The biggest part of disaster prep is thinking about how stupid people will react. Thinking about what you actually NEED on hand is the easy part.

Water and toilet paper. Your utilities aren't going to be turned off and you aren't going to get burrito shits.

The crazy part is the shelves of cold meds or "feel better" type supplies are FULL. No one wants to feel better, they just want to shit and drink water.

If anybody bothered to listen to Trump's presser today, he pretty much hit it out of the park. We see what he's been up to. They had the public health officials PLUS reps from the big boys, Walgreens, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Labcorp, etc. all lined up to explain how they were going to work in public/private partnership with the government. People have been bitching about testing, they're gonna set up DRIVE THROUGH testing nationwide in their parking lots. The whole thing just blew me away. It's no wonder the Dow gained almost 2,000 points today. Panicky traders know what they heard, know it's the real deal, plus, they now know that the thing isn't as bad as the MSM is leading us to believe, backed up by facts.

Prediction: This whole thing will be in the rear view mirror by the end of May, just in time for Trump rally season! Compare and contrast what was announced today, and the travel bans, and other actions to date with the milquetoast response to the swine flu a decade ago. Hell, Trump is even going to top off the strategic petroleum reserve, since oil is at uncharacteristic lows, so we prop up the oil industry while buying at bargain rates.

THIS is why you put a businessman in the White House, folks!

Ordered this last week and it didn’t ship yet even though it shows a Fed-Ex tracking number.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I messaged them and they said it is a high demand item and will ship as soon as possible.
How does Amazon let sellers sell stuff if it’s not in stock?

I just returned from my local grocer, horee fuq. I have been in or around the business my entire life, this chit is crazy. No fresh meat, no dry goods, no water, Toilet paper, paper towels,napkins. Any cleaning product... nope. Eight doors of frozen vegetables gone, probably because all the canned were gone as well.Not a pizza in the store. Crazy fuggers.

Yep. I was just trying to do my regular shopping today. Had to hit two different stores just to get what I needed. My shopping list and menu plan went out the window and I had to just settle for what was available.

This sign was displayed over some frozen food cases but they were already empty.

This shit is out of hand completely... I have enough on hand for another 10 days as I went regular grocery shopping last Monday. After that I'm screwed or eating cardboard i guess.

I went grocery shopping at IGA this morning.

Still no panic here - they actually had toilet paper even, although it was a pallet of their crummy single ply store brand (shudders).

We have tons of store brand Mucinex pills and day/night sever flu liquid medicine in case we get it (we're gonna get it since the Mrs. is an MD and this town has no hospital and no ER). Also have enough canned and dry food to last 1 month in case we end up in a quarantine situation. Until then, I am not changing my habit of gorcery shopping 4-5x a week and buying for meals day of and next day only. I hope we never use any of this canned food and I end up getting to donate it. I hate canned food, freezer food, etc.
