You should see the people in my area. Fighting over TP at the walmart and aldi. I went to the family dollar down the road from house and got me 108 rolls of charmin. Lol. Fuck selling weed. Im gonna sell TP when we rum out. Lol. Shit is getting crazy. No school for atleast 3 weeks. I figure if it keeps spreading in my state they are gonna shut down businesses and quarantine citizens to their homes. Think I might go get a keg of beer and a shit ton of reloading supplies. Have never seen anything like this in my lifetime.

Went to a family grocery for 16 paper towels, toilet paper, ziplocks and 3 gallons of assorted bleach. There were 8 shoppers in the grocery vs the ticker tape parade at Walmart.

The stockpiling of toilet paper is an absolutely bizarre reaction. I’m glad I have enough to last a month because the TP panic is contagious for whatever reason.

I agree. It’s bizarre. The thing is, I found myself buying extra a couple weeks back because it looked like it was going this way. There’s a shortage due to the buying frenzy. A self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.

Food will be next. I’ve already started planning ahead for that. Just stuff with a long shelf-life that we are going to eat eventually anyway.

I’ve already got shitloads of reloading components so no need for more. :
