As an older person I have seen MANY scares come and go. If things keep going we will see bare shelves shortly and the people in a panic even worse than now!

Yes, Ed, I'm 72 and feel there have been too many news broadcasts that have blown this virus problem out of porportion. Sure, you need to take precautions to protect yourself from contracting the disease, or the flu, or other problems. But the panic I see with folks emptying store shelves with their purchases is rediculas. The local high school told the students to empty their lockers and take everything home and is shutting down early for the annual spring break.

" What did people do in the old days or what did the Indians owe sorry I guess I'm suppose to say NATIVE AMERICANS do for tiolet paper. Maybe buffalo hide or fur. I don't think they had Walmart or Menards to go to. People should learn how to can vegetables and meat on there own at home in case of emergency. My parents and grandparents did and probably ate healthier than the processed crap people eat today. But yes it is a little harder for a truck driver to store a lot of extra food on the truck. I try to keep at least a three day supply on the truck with me in case of snow storms.

Its definitely getting crazy, and not to downplay anyone that's lost a family member to it, but statistically, isn't the flu more dangerous?

I swear I was just yelling to myself about how sheeple love to live in fear! I opened up my web browser and the first thing I saw was this post. Crazy but yes, it's ridiculous. In some ways I'd love to see this virus wipe out half the population. It seems most of them are nothing more than walking dead anyway. Nothing but a bunch of disposable batteries here to feed the Globalist machine. Sad but true.

" People really should have at least a minimum of a weeks supplies in there homes reguardless. Just something I was taught as a kid growing up in rural Minnesota.

Everyone is glued to devices and expect the government to pickup the pieces. Who wasn't growing vegetables and getting fruit to can last fall? Just saying go ahead and wipe out the store but if i get creative i could probably feed my family with the same thing people ate 3 generations ago for a long time. People are fast going into a situation that they don't want to be in if we get a flu that would wipe out the population. Think about it.
