I've been through major hurricanes in FL, however, I have never seen it this bad in my life in the grocery stores, where even basic everyday items, such as toothpaste and TP, are scarce and the meat cases and freezers being completely empty. It's actually a really eerie sight and feeling, and not even a month ago, all these stores shelfs were packed to the brim. And now, I can't even find peanut butter and jelly, or even cheap frozen pizza, to be available for purchase. (On a side note, whey protein also seems to be scarce also and my workouts feel like somewhat of a waste.) The past week alone, I have spent well over $2000 just in groceries, and that's just on what I could manage to find vs what I need/want.

Based on Zoren370's post, I am really hoping they find a vaccine/cure for this bullsh!t virus, and I really hope pharmaceutical companies put profits aside and see to it that people get the treatment they need.

Just image if a zombie apocalypse happened. If this keeps up for 4 weeks. You'll see mobs.

Epidemiologists @ UPenn, writing in the NYT, stated that we'll go through 3 or 4 waves of infection and subsequent PANICK and social distancing/economic death. Bus drivers in Detroit refused to run thei routes bc the buses weren't disinfected. CPD has squads on all the Chicago grocery distribution warehouses. They're escorting the semis from the warehouses to the retail locations. They also have no masks, gloves, or sanitation equipment. What's gonna happen when 50% of the force is out sick?

Store was empty of TP and paper towels. No pasta. No sauce. No cleaning supplies. No disinfectants. Little red meat. No coke.

And the store was rationing most of the above items, 3 per person.

$2000?!?!? Holee fuk! How do you afford car parts?

I spent $150 at the grocery store about a month ago. Haven't been back since.

Sounds like the amount I’ve spent on fasteners for my garage
