Good luck, you'll get shot if you even think of raiding. Here in yuropoorland, all those goods are free for grabs once the police shut down

>>17789724
Some of the people at my local store were definitely more selfish than they should've been.

>>17789724
what 3rd world shithole is this in? I just went to my kroger and they had everything in stock (except for fucking toilet paper because of retarded fat boomers)

>>17789724

Don't be a retard. People can only panic stockpile shit once. The USA's food supply chain is in no way under threat of being interrupted by this, we make most of our stuff domestically. Stores will restock and retards will be stuck with too much food at home that eventually expires without being eaten.

>>17789724
>Check my Walmart website
>Anything and everything is in stock except Clorox, toilet paper, most pasta, and canned soup
I'm good.

>>17789724
Sams Club in my area has been picked clean, there is nothing left.

>>17789724
I didn't go out but it freaked my mom pretty good.

>>17789787
Yep. I don't personally give a shit but there are people with young children, elderly being taken care of etc that got paid today and need some fucking groceries.

>>17789724

I was just at a whole foods in manhattan, no bread, no meat, no cans no jars no pasta nothing that wouldn't perish within a week. I am fucked bros we vuvuzela now

wait a week and then the normies will forget about all this and the shelves will be full
you do already have a week worth of food don't you anon
if not then I'm sure you local mcwagie can make you food

>>17789881
I guess they are personifying the phrase "more money than sense"

>>17789797

thats what they will say and they wont feel stupid or learn a lesson at all.

If you need meat go to a butcher, normies aren’t gonna think that far

>>17789797
This

I think this is a false alarm but I swear to god if I make it out of this nightmare and get a house one day I'm building a doomsday bunker, this society is incredibly fragile

>>17789724
Just got back from the grocery store. Seemed normal. TP is low, but they said shipments are coming this weekend.

But don't let me stop your fake hysteria thread.

>>17789852
Kevin?

>>17789910
Luckily my mom has been DCA'ing canned whole chicken. Got about 50 cans.

>>17789797
Yep. But it's fake hysteria season on 4chan, because herr derr. Supermarkets restock DAILY - at night. They can refill the shelves tonight. I lived on the east coast for years, and dealt with this every time there was a forecast for snow. People freak out, buy all the bread and milk, and the next day, like magic, there's more.
There's not even a hint of stopping interstate trucking and rail, which is the backbone of the food supply, but if you want to fall for weak bait, be my guest.

>>17789963
>50 cans
suicide stack is 100 cans
you need 500 cans to make it.

>>17789963

Go to Sams Club or a membership club in your area. Piggy back off someone else’s membership card or just bite the bullet and pay for a memebership

>>17789724
Unironically discovered the same at my local store about meat shipments being delayed. People are so fucking retarded. All I wanted was to have some nice steaks this weekend.

Stop trying to force this meme. My name is not Kevin.

>>17789929
Where I am (Texas) there were lines stretching around the supermarket and a bunch of things were gone. Meat, fruits and veggies, bread/dry spaghetti, milk (some guy had about 5 gallons of milk), etc. So fucking dumb, and that was last night, and the panic still carried on today and will probably carry on through the weekend.

>>17789892

What is a freezer

>>17790138
>Wagies will stop working
Yeah they're staying open whether they die there or not

>>17790120
basedmilk will last 3 months in the fridge, just sayin'

I ordered groceries in bulk a week ago. And it was unrelated to the panic, I'm just a neet shut-in who hates having to go out to get groceries, it's more practical to have lots of stock for voluminous and non perishable stuff like tp and water packs, and it turns out ordering online in bulk ends up being cheaper anyway. Can food is such a meme though, tastes like trash, just go to the butcher, get meat in bulk and freeze it. Another superior alternative which normies don't think about if it were the apocalypse tomorrow are big bags of whey and oats.

Yes. I live outside Chicago. It’s as crowded as any suburb in the country. The shelves are fine.
I don’t believe this unless I just live around all decent people who only buy what they need.

>>17790138
Do you, retard? I worked in the food manufacturing industry for over a decade, I know precisely where most of it comes from. Wanna play? Want to talk about farm to shelf? Let's dance, moron. Fucking try me.

Yeah my month's worth of canned food I regularly eat anyway is going to expire. lmao you fags are so dumb.

The meat is gone in Ontario too , it’ll be back soon but will probably go just as quick. I work in grocery stores and I can say today was the busiest I’ve ever seen. Whole entire paper aisle is gone, cans are gone , other shelves are 50% max.

>>17790325

Went to the store here in Denver and it looked like a war zone. No potatoes, onions, bread, sugar, flour. No fucking chicken. How the fuck is there no chicken? No fucking frozen chicken either. I am gonna go buy some more weed and ammo tomorrow. My company told me we start working from home until further notice.

>>17789797

Lol. Idiot. People ARE being logical. Once hospitals start being overwhelmed it is logical to not want to go out and get sick to resupply. You are just salty that you are caught flat footed.

>>17790411
UHT milk tastes like hedgehog piss tho
proper milk freezing (or any high-fat content item, cheese, etc) is hit n miss af and takes up a shitload of space. Just get full milk powder, the proper stuff, not that supermarket semi-skimmed shite, and good is.

If truckers are smart they should be able to stay largely isolated while working, shouldn't be too much of a problem with them getting sick. The people filling the trucks and stocking shelves would be more likely to be understaffed, but that's more of a slowdown than a grinding halt a trucker shortage would cause.

>>17791780
It's not a trucker shortage.
It is is a ship shortage.
There are non coming.
There is nothing to put in the trucks.
Friend in Seattle says there are no ships there.
I look out over the harbor in Anchorage.
There are no ships here.

>>17791699
I mean, you could. Even if the game wardens catch you you could probably get away with it by saying you were in fear of starvation.

Just remember to save the bones and make bone broth. Not much fat in moose meat so it will kill you like rabbit meat if you don't get some oils in there

NorCal here. I haven't been shopping yet today but everything seemed fine yesterday. I live next door to a grocery store. Literally nothing has seemed different. Everyone is still working and only a few things have stopped locally. For some weird reason my area seems really calm about this. We're rural tho so maybe that's why we don't feel so food insecure. Any other rural fags experiencing it like this?

>>17790159
Canned food is good for when the freezer breaks or electricity goes out, and it actually tastes good if you arent a cooklet

Can somebody tell me why people are stockpiling water of all things? Are there retards out there who seriously think the water supply would be disrupted because of a virus? Water is nearly infinite in America and the cleaning process is almost entirely automated.

Trucker anon here, I've been delivering goods for Wally World in southern Alabama, South Georgia, and Northern Panhandle of Florida, it's all down to the warehouses. Most of my non refrigerated loads has been mostly TP, bottled water, and canned goods because of fuckers NOT having a small supply at the house of canned goods. Anyways it usually comes off the truck and immediately into the store where its immediately consumed by the hordes of grabby boomers aching for their charmin ultra soft. To be honest I'm just playing this by ear and I hope it all blows over soon.

I'll dump some pics from Walmart tonight.

Pictured is a girl reading a sign about toilet paper shortage while a small boy plays in the emptiness.

Ramen and soup goods in short supply.

Talked with two Walmart employees about the stock jump today.

>>17791862

Weird, doesn't show up sideways on my phone.

Frozen veggies were in short supply as well.

Like OP's pic, fruit was picked over with bananas being scooped up like crazy. Time to buy stock in people's potassium stores.

>>17792211
There is a marked difference in how they cover the pandemic on the different networks. On CNN/MSNBC it's all panic all the time. On Fox they try to put people at ease and give more realistic picture of the outbreak.

So if you live among the NPC libtards, you are most likely going to see way more panic simply due to how they are programmed by the TV Jew.

For not being Black Friday, lines were long and carts were jam packed.

Talked to the lady in front of me. Funny thing was I talked to her via my job a couple of weeks earlier. Small world.

Poor cashier had me as the last person in line before closing her lane for lunch as she had been working an hour beyond her lunch break.

>>17792550
lol I work at a grocery store, idk why we also sold out of bananas frist. We also sold about of all raw meat and TP.

>>17792588
Really depends on the network. If Hillary had won, I imagine the coverage would be flipped with CNN praising the present and Fox News calling her actions dangerous. Been checking out the BBC for another perspective.

Fox's website still has some "scary" stuff, but it isn't front and center.

>>17792757
It's because conservatives tend to be more logic based. They plan ahead, they think things through, etc. Way more grounded in reality.

Liberals are emotion based. Very easy to manipulate, no coherent moral framework. They are like a cult, truth to them is not something that is objective irregardless of where it comes from. Truth to a liberal is whatever their perceived authority tells them. Like late night hosts or their most trusted media outlet, whether it be Vice, Oprah, CNN or Jimmy Kimmel.

post pics of your mom

Hey my last post didnt go through or I forgot to hit post.

Apparently stores in my area are really crowded. This was mid day on a weekday at that. Jam packed parking, food supply likely low from what I was told.

I went to the store about 30 minutes ago just to check it out and to get a few more things, and it was pretty accurate, although the shelves weren't as barren as some of the pictures and it's not as bad as you might think. Toilet paper still sold out, no surprise, but now bread was completely sold out too. Thankfully I just bought some two days ago. There were only like 4 gallons of skim milk left too.

Lots of stuff had the "ideal" options sold out but you could still get it, for example "family" sizes of cereal were sold out but you could still get the normal sizes. Things like that.

It was also really busy considering it was midnight. Normally it would be dead but it was like it was 12 pm on a normal day.

Anyways, it wasn't too terrible yet. But you should probably go get shit soon just in case, don't be one of these in denial retards.

I bought a ton of snackies btw, cozy mode activated. Go ahead and bring on the virus now I'm ready.

>>17792461

This...Me and the wife just went to 2 different grocery stores tonight. Fully stocked and literally nothing was different than normal.

>>17794659

Illinois Anon here. Fuck that. I'm leaving midwest entirely. Having people come look at my apartment in Chicago this weekend, to transfer lease, then next month, I'll be in Denver. Closeness to mountains and escape from midwest Indiana/Illinois/etc. nightmare world well worth increased cost of living.

Poor people make me sad.
I've been growing root vegetables for years and my chickens are good for eggs and meat if I get desperate.
Kinda wish I had the space for sheep or or something.
I am completely ready to survive for a year or more without anyone but my wife and kid.

they also stockpile eggs, milk and bread to make french toast during natural disasters. it's a weird programming glitch.

Brother it isn’t good. We’re barely keeping up with demand. Between sick call offs and our trucks being delayed for the same reason it’s not going well. There’s talks of closing down the fresh departments for a time.

I work at a grocery store while in school, 90% of our stuff is in stock. We still have drinks, canned foods, fresh produce etc. the only things we are completely out of is paper products like TP, tissues, and sanitizer. Don't believe the hyperfear of boomers with nothing better to do then watch the news all day and go shopping in the middle of the afternoon on a tuesday when everybody else is at work.

>>17798446
Where are you located? I'm in new england and panic has certainly ensued. Pic related is a trader Joe's in LA that my friend sent me. The panic has just begun, anon.

>>17798495
How bad is it in New England so far?

>>17798495
Feel bad for you man, New England aka home of the boomer. Im out in Florida and the only real problem we have is our tourism is fucked

>>17789724
I live in the middle of nowhere Texas. Went to the local walmart. Everything was in stock except paper towels/toilet paper. Some rednecks think they’re going to be able to sell them for $5 a roll

>>17798509
Well here in Massajewsetts, we have the third highest number of confirmed cases in the country. There are none in my area but people are reacting nonetheless. Frozen foods are totally gone. The meat, dairy, soup, and canned beans sections were all empy. Mind you this was Thursday night so they may have restocked since, but people are panicking. Municipal buildings and schools are closed until further notice as are small business in the area. I work at a small grocery store and we've been slammed.

>>17798551
Alright, thank you for the information. Stay safe out there anon, and godspeed!

You'll find rural folk in europe are strapped like American rednecks and just as trigger happy, the only difference is the accent

Good advice.

>>17798509
I live in bumfuck Maine and the shelves are being emptied as soon as they are stocked. they aren't even properly stocking just leaving food in the manufactures box that it was shipped in. Toilet paper is gone at every single store, and the canned food aisle is almost empty as well.
I prepped months ago though :')

OP IS A FAGGOT AND YOU PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE FOOLED

>>17798598
Lol we have a lot but they all come from Jew York and fuck up our traffic

>>17798682
This was already established a while ago, look at the rest of the thread faggot.

>>17798681
So did I, I just happen to know a guy in New England who refused to buy supplies despite my best efforts to get him to listen. We'll see what happens. Apparently he says he knows a guy if things go to shit but I'm honestly very skeptical of that, regardless of how rich or such this person turns out to be.

>>17794609
I'm a guy and I wipe too hard (teaching myself not too though not much success yet) so I take 3 sheets for the first wipe otherwise I'll finger my asshole through the paper and end up with shit under my fingernail. Next wipes are 2 sheets though. Triple layer TP if you were wondering. Could use advice if anons have any.. Having a bloody asshole is getting tiresome.

>>17798716
This seems to be the sentiment of a lot of my millennial and zoomer friends. Luckily I got my girlfriend on board weeks ago and my parents and brother are not retarded either. I dont know how people can see what's going on and not prep even just a little.

>>17798766
I know right? I mean damn, I told him maybe you should buy a few extra cans next time you're at the supermarket at the very least. But no... he wants to do things his way and just keep up his lifestyle. Dude's relaxed to the extreme, which makes me seriously wonder just how much he'll begin to panic when it all breaks down. There's literally nothing wrong with being prepared, even just a little.

>>17790123
I would highly advise never eating out in general, but especially right now.

He says he's knows a guy who sounds like a prepper. These are the types that preppers HATE and will gladly open fire upon when them come knocking looking for a hand in SHTF.

>>17792340
Bottles water is incredibly cheap & on the off chance you need it but don't have it you're beyond fucked. A month's supply for drinking, cooking mostly dry food, & bathing cost like $30.

>>17789724
Why are people talking about this?

I worked grocery for a few years, I've seen this stuff first hand. I am not surprised or worried. More annoyed that everyone won't stop talking about this. Yes, toilet paper, paper towel, bleach, hand sanitizer, sugar, flour pasta, pasta sauce, popular cereal, milk, eggs, water, canned soups, and a few other I can't recall are gone.

These shocks only last a few days as the store can correct with following orders. As long as the warehouse is full and the trucks can move things will be fix by the end of the week. If those do fail then we can start getting worried, but not before. When those do fail then we just need to ration till it gets fixed, can't see it lasting more then a month given how many people want if fixed and how much money there is in fixing it. I admit the system is a piece of junk and should be radically improved, but don't understatement profiteering grocery chains to make it work somehow to get your money. There is also the national guard if it actually gets that bad.

I have about a week of basic supplies always on had which I rotate. It has been more then enough to buffer every major event that has hit me over the years. Admittedly I learned more from my work, but it not that hard. But people are stupid and freaking out, So I am expanding my buffer out to 15 days, not because I think I will need it to but so I have extra to bribe raiders to leave me alone when madness sets in before everything gets fix and they feel dumb for using an stolen tank to get a can of soup from me.

You either don't prep, do basic prep, or go full off grid.
This panic prep is just stupid, and getting on my nerves.

>>17798971
That's what I was honestly thinking. Just because you know a guy doesn't mean you're welcome in his house. Either he'll be turned away and break down, shot and die, or try to kill the guy just to survive and steal his stuff which is kind of wild to think about. I mean normally I don't think he's the type of person to go that far but he did say he's not going to die no matter what so...

Well whatever happens it'll be on him. He had all the time to prepare weeks ago and if he has to die or kill someone that blood is on his hands. (I don't know if he owns a gun and even if he does it's more likely he'll be shot by the other dude since defense is easier than offense.)

>>17789724
i think this stage will pass but i have been adding to my reserves every time i went shopping the past 2 weeks of things that will last till september at least. uht milk, potato powder, rice, sugar, flour, hardtack, caned food, oatmeals, etc... i'm low on meat to be honest no good selection of brined meat in the country we are very dependent o fresh meat.

>>17792661
Same here. I work in a meijer. It’s picked clean and they’re buying fast then it can be stocked.

>>17799001
Just have a basic homemade filter (layer some finely woven cloths, possibly with some activated charcoal in a tube) and cook water. That or do the following ONLY IF YOU HAVE TO!!! :

Step 1: Find Household Bleach
It should say sodium hypochlorite 8.25% on the label. Do not use bleach which has perfumes or other additives.

Step 2: Find a Measuring Device
You’ll want to measure carefully so you don’t end up with too much or too little bleach. A medicine dropper is best. You can also use teaspoon measurers.

Step 3: Pre-Filter Your Water if Necessary
If the water is cloudy, filter it first. A camping filter is good for this, but you’ll still need to use bleach (or boil) because camping filters do not remove viruses. If you don’t have a camping filter, then you can filter the dirty water through a coffee filter.

Step 4: Add Bleach
1 quart/liter: 2 drops
1 gallon: 6 drops
2 gallons: 12 drops (1/8 teaspoon)
4 gallons: ¼ teaspoon
8 gallons: ½ teaspoon
Cloudy water: double the amount of bleach

Step 5: Let the Water Sit for 30 Minutes
Smell the water. It should smell slightly of chlorine. If it doesn’t then repeat the bleach dosage and let the water sit for another 15 minutes.

Retard here, are those a thing?

>>17789797
the virus is going to be circulating for years, peak amount of infections probably won't even hit until July. People are chimping out thinking they'll have to spend the next 2 weeks at home, but it won't even start getting bad in 2 weeks

>>17799106
the thing is bleach does not have a long shelf life. few people know it's labelled effectiveness only lasts for 2-3 weeks.
however you can get bleach-powder that stays good airtight for years and make your bleach as you need it.

>>17798759
You go front to back or back to front? I'm a mudflapper, myself, but I have found that switching to front to back helps reduce bleeding. Almost as if back to front is "against the grain". While I dont feel as in control, my touch is a bit softer when I go front to back.

>>17799106
Homemade filters are incredibly prone to error. If you don't know what you're doing you're liable to contaminate your water supply. Most people have never done this before & would be doing a test run during the crisis. Further, if you don't already have these supplies on hand it will likely cost more than a month's worth of bottled water. Further still, during a crisis every moment that you spend doing something is a moment you're not doing something else of equal importance. This is all assuming that the taps never get impacted, if they do your filter is beyond useless.

You don't need much space to be self sustaining

Aquaponics provide 3-4 times as much food as regular farming and only use 10% as much water, they also can be build verticaly and work indoors

>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST STOCK UP FOR YOUR FAMILY, HOARDING IS WRONG

>One year from now, 50% of all this food will just be thrown out when people realize they were freaking out over nothing and go back to eating McDonald's

Its just doom porn Anon. I wage cuck in the FDA regulated food supply and we are still making food full bore no plans to stop.

Its just the common cold guys the flu (influenza) has killed ~220,000 people so far this year alone compared to corona virus at a ~5000 people.

Just keep in mind everyone upwards of 50k deaths a year in the USA from the flu is business as usual its just rich people stealing from you in their normal 10 year cycle again.
