Nah. I have been avoiding places where people like TIGERLEE shop. Today at my small local grocer, people were even letting those with only a few items cut in line.

Saw a line out the door at the local butcher shop today at 10am.

I had to go to the local Winn Dixie today to find milk for the toddler because the high-end grocery store my wife went to was out of the whole milk organic DHA stuff for the babe.

There was some of higher-priced milk (except what I was looking for, of course), but all of the less-expensive milk was gone. All cow's milk was getting thin.

The less expensive meats (pork and chicken) were wiped out.

There was no toilet paper and only a few rolls of paper towels left.

They said it would be 2 weeks before there was any hand sanitizer back in stock.

Never in my life did I think I would have to go to 5 different stores till I found TP

Yeah, the line at Central market was like 10 deep at 7:30 for their opening at 8. I walked up to grab a shopping cart to bring wine out and everyone stared at me in disgust like I was a customer who snuck in another way somehow.

Do you think they will keep you from going to grocery stores or something?

You are part of the problem.

Idiot.

Yes. I had to change the Amazon password and hang up on the wife when she called to ask me what it is.

Did my part today to feed the panic: shopping at Albertson's & found a single roll of TP for $.98. Offered it to the lady behind me for $5.00. If looks could kill..... No more humor in the world.

I have enough stuff for a month after today. I may make another run to a different store tomorrow to grab a few other things.

I’m not worried about this virus. I’m worried about the overreaction to it.

I saw the panic butters grabbing cases of water. I tried to explain to one older woman that this isn't a hurricane and that were not expected to lose power or water.
