[QUOTE="TexDanm, post: 191628, member: 12272"] First off you need to chill out. COVID-19 is NOT the plague. It only has a 3% mortality rate at worst and most of those deaths will be old people like me and people with previous morbidities that make them immunodeficient. I don't know where you live but the stores where I live have plenty of food on the shelves. the TEMPORARY shortage was caused by a$$hats going in and buying huge amounts and hoarding it. There is a guy I read about that has 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. I am a survivalist and have been active in that for 45 or 50 years. I STAY prepared. If nothing else this is going to be a wakeup call for a lot of people. The intelligent will remember what this feels like and make sure that in the future they have the basics covered. It doesn't cost a fortune to be pretty well prepared. The idiots will laugh and forget and be caught in the future if a REAL pandemic or disaster happens. the biggest problem with this is that as a people we have gotten soft and because things have been easy for a long time they think that bad things can't happen anymore. I remember polio, When I was 12 I faced the possibility of dying when we had atomic bomb drills in elementary school where we were taught to go into the halls, get on our knees, close our eyes, open our mouths (prevents ruptured eardrums if you are hit in the chest by a concussion) and prepare to die. Then I watched as my friends older brothers came home from Vietnam in boxes, in pieces or walking dead the eventually killed themselves. I KNEW that I was mortal and that bad things can happen. I remember my parents packing up the car during the Cuban missile crisis and being ready to run at a moment's notice. We were number 5 on the most likely civilian areas to get nuked list.
