I've decided to stockup for this virus


I've decided that this virus is going to hit Australia as bad as Italy, it might take a month, but it will.

I want canned foods. Noodles. Rice. Things that will last.

I want medications.

It's time to take action!

I notice that people here as well as stocking up on toilet paper, tinned goods, hand sanitizers and so forth have started panic buying extra freezers as well !

I went to Kroger this afternoon to pick up a deli fried chicken and it was zombie apocalypse! Crazy lines!!!!! I should have gone to KFC.

Zombie apocalypse here too 🙄

Went to my local grocery to pick up a few things and get a much-needed haircut that's also in the strip mall. Couldn't find a parking space, and this is a large parking lot! It was also early afternoon. Should have been almost empty.

The shopping carts were all inside, quite a few abandoned. Probably the normal shoppers who only came in for a few things saw the crazy lines and decided never mind. I almost did the same, but there were a few things I really needed.

Liquor and Ammo, don't forget👍

I've got ammo, which means everyone who doesn't is just storing my stuff for me 😉

At a certain point it may come to that!

I think we are in front of this so fast, and don't have nearly the population density that China does, it seems it would level of fast. China's case numbers are already dropping,bug I guess we'll see. Once people hear of someone they know getting it and recovering, which almost everyone does, statistically,I think the panic will fade a bit. I've been wrong before, but the 80s were a long time ago.

I think the same. Good to know the number of cases in China is now dropping 👍

'The 80s were a long time ago'
I didn't miss that😉
Good one

Yeah, we'll be fine, no icebergs on this ocean skipper👍

I went to a salad bar today and all of the fruit and veggies were gone. When I asked why, the clerk told me it was because of the virus!

reply

Yeah, good thinking. Go panic buying and leave the shelves bare for people who want to buy sensible amounts so we can all have enough to get through.

reply

No kidding.

Anyone have any weird Covid-19 dreams yet?

I had a lil banger of a contamination epidemic nightmare last night. Weirded me out about this more than anything in waking life has so far.
