Anyone stocking up on supplies/food?

[Ponyryd]

Apparently this is a thing, hand sanitizer, water and other stuff is selling at an alarming rate because of the corona virus, people are stockpiling stuff in case of quarantine or whatever they think will happen. Any of youz doing similar stuff? I’m headed to Costco tomorrow to stock up on cheese balls

- she always buys extra stock anyway but I’m noticing more than usual.
She doesn’t want me to go with her to Costco tomorrow since I’m usually the one that takes the item out of the cart and put it back on the shelf.

Oh Pony , your wife going to BTS concert in May? Cause my kids got tickets again.

If you're not going out then it doesn't matter how you smell....?

Ha, yes she is, I don’t get it, but whatever.


Don, the line was no longer than usual, only difference was they gave you a Lysol wipe for the cart at the door, and they now have self-checkouts (new to my area). We just got water, chips and some canned goods. She wants to stock up on pet food as well, but I told her if it comes to it I’ll be eating the pets before I feed them
We only got a cart full, nothing crazy. I also didn’t see many people stockpiling anything, seemed like a normal Sat morning, same thing at the Superstore, everything normal, just no stock of sanitizer.

Check Home Depot for sanitizer, also drug stores.

The more time you spend in crowded areas the greater the chances of going from isolating to quarantining.

Also if this gets out of hand you could be inside a quarantine area, which means no in/out for a few weeks.

I think this is one of the reasons the Chinese have been able to contain the virus, and it appears to have now peaked and numbers of new infections are falling. That said......they are under communist rule where they can enforce things, i.e. quarantine areas but here in the Land of the free......I'm not sure the same measures can be taken. Closing schools is a government call, but most other things will be up to the organizations that own/run them, i.e. sporting events, concerts, trade shows, etc. Hopefully it won't come to that here.....

China officials knew of coronavirus in December, ordered cover-up, report says

Did you before this event?

[92redragtop]

Possibly - or that some did.

The other day I went Walmart to get hand sanitizer bottles for at work and at home.
Walmart here Port Elgin was sold out and had gotten any instock in week...Dollarama had lots tho...in the USA the shipping cart pickup storage areas sanitizing wipes are supplied. Shopping carts are handles are probably one of the highest germ transfers points that ever existed.

Nope but I’m with the majority ....I stopped drinking Corona & shaving my beard off
