How long before they start to riot?

every store not aimed at gooks has no line and has shit in stock. I got water and toilet paper at my local mart with no issue, meanwhile gooks and retards (Costcos main customer base) wait in line and pay out the ass.
also look at case fatality rates, below 40 your projected chance to die is 3% stupid fuck

>>13781106
Well if you're not going to die that's even more reason to want stuff when there's none available.

>>13781095

probably when the regular 9-5 people get out and clash with the people stuck there since 2.

there were no carts in the parking lot alreadh, there was a line for carts too. i decided i didnt want to deal with this with panic buying bullshit and just went to the cafeteria. spent about 20 minutes waiting for my chicken bale and i was lucky.

>>13781141
>eating chicken on a friday in Lent
You're going to hell bro

>>13781091
>all that toilet paper
why do these retards hoard toilet paper? i dont fucking get it

>Imagine now prepping for this when china got hit and italy and iran started to get fucked
Why are people so retarded? Now people are crying about not being able to make daily grocery store trips for a fucking pint of ice cream to help reduce their anxiety
Fucking idiots

>>13781148

no idea either. if anything i'd hoard paper towel, i dont understand why its just toilet paper. people literallh shitting themselves in fear.

>>13781159
i wish corona virus would just target people with sub 100 iq, instead of just the ones who wash their wash regularly.

>>13781091
my coworker was just whining about costco an hour ago in a meeting. my roommate works at target and told me they've been sold out of tp and their normal 350-400 of picks were at like 1k, but he also said a single order came in for 400 items during his shift.

>>13781148
I heard if you wrap yourself in it like a mummy it will protect you from coronavirus

>>13781091
Went to Sam's yesterday morning and it was insane. Unbelievable panic buying. The hoax messaging doesn't seem to be resonating anymore, lol!

>>13781202

i've noticed it's mostly older people panic buying.

god i hope they all fucking die and finally leave us their houses and jobs.

>>13781172
It led to a run on paper towels and Kleenex as well. Toilet paper was just first to go.

>>13781148
Cause people are fucking stupid

>>13781273
many of them are not even buying food, i don't know if they know this but you don't poop if you dont eat food

I was just at WinCo, everything felt like a huge larp

>>13781148

Worst case scenario you can use leaves or magazines

>>13781357
or take a shower...

I have to get groceries tomorrow for making comfy food this weekend, what am I in for?

t. Shopper at Publix Miami Beach

>>13781369
Hopefully the panic buyers will have gotten their loads already soon. I can't imagine this will last for any length of time.

>>13781369

if you wait until tomorrow there wont be anything because panic buyers are storing everything in their garage next to their unused margaritaville, bowflex machine, ans size 12 dildo chair with rocky legs

>>13781374
I hope so. I don't want to wait an hour while boomers without bidets bulk buy toilet paper and leave the steaks...

>>13781390
Fuck.

>>13781369
Just went to my Publix after getting out of work, all lines open but still took 20 minutes to get through, many shoppers with full carts.
I guess depending how busy your store gets and what time you go.

>>13781395
I'm going to go right when it opens tomorrow, I think tonight would be suicide

At the Dollar Tree like 5 different people asked the cashier if they had hand sanitizer. They have been out for a month. Everyone was coughing without covering their mouths. People were out with their kids. Luckily I have enough delicious gourmet food to hold me over for months

>>13781366
enjoy your faggot water room Poseidon

i'm actually out of tp and can't find it anywhere

I have 2 freezers of meat (beef, venison, elk and goose), plenty of rice and beans, and I have a bidet so I only need a bit of TP. Also have a cabinet full of deenz

>>13781411
Hey me too. The only think I stocked up on was medicine and water. My cabinets were already fairly well stocked

>>13781410
go to home depot and get a bidet attachment, will change your life

>>13781417
Me and my dad hunt so i'm always stocked up on meat. Also asian so I have one of those big ass sacks of rice that will last months. I dont even have to prepare lol.

>>13781417
What's the point of stocking up on water? The virus isn't transmitted through water and even if we do get to a point of being quarantined, the water won't be turned off.

my cunt rn

>>13781091
No, I'm not retarded and stocked up 2 months ago.

Should I go chop some wood just in case gas and electricity stops? Wood bbq sounds really good right now too

>>13781397
there was a line at my store at 530am to get in today and everyone b-lined for the TP it was hilarious I just needed bread and milk

>>13781442
that's not going to happen don't be stupid

Went to HEB yesterday around 11am (bought ice cream (pic related) and Emegen C) while I laughed at all the panic buyers growing restless because lines weren't moving

>>13781440
Ding! Filled my freezer slightly more than normal and bought enough paper goods for a few extra weeks. No big deal. These last minute (?) morons are going to be using their socks for asswipe.

We didn't completely run out of paper products by the time I left yesterday night, but only expensive stuff was left. Same with bottled water, all the Kroger brand sold by the afternoon and we only had 6 dollar cases of Aquafina and deja blu left. Hand soap and sanetizer gone of course, rice and dry beans hit pretty hard, canned aisle was maybe 50 percent full. The one thing that didn't make sense was still plenty of beer...I would think if people are self quarantining that they'd get pretty bored sober. I stocked like 3 pallets of milk and we're definitely running out today until our next truck tomorrow. Got plenty of eggs and cheese left though for our sales ad.
T North Texas Kroger dairy fag

>>13781459
I will just turn around if that happens. :(

>>13781481
People buy what they see other people buy, they aren't thinking it through.

>>13781433
So intelligent! Go mill around in a crowd where the chances of becoming infected are extremely high so you can stock up on TP to wipe your bloody mouth as you cough up your lungs and your ass as you hemorrhage from your bowls. No wonder they're all wh*te.

>>13781486
I kept loudly commenting to coworkers within customer listening range that if people were truly panicked they should be at Cabelas.

>>13781357
Or even rags you just wash periodically. How do you think pioneer women handled menstruation w/o mass produced feminine hygiene products ffs?

>>13781501
Or embrace the ol' Muslim way and just use your left hand.

>>13781148
so you can wipe your ass you ultracuck

>that image

This is the stupidest thing to do. If just ONE person in there is sick everyone's fucked.

STOP CONGREGATING IN HUGE NUMBERS AT STORES

You do not need to "prep" for this. Just stay home and go out quickly and sporadically for food items. Hoarding 50 cans applesauce isn't necessary.

>>13781159
Pretty much. I went to the store this morning for ice cream because it was on sale but left because I didn't want to deal with the 10+ person lines per register. And they all had toilet paper in their carts.

>>13781531
True, but the retards that are panic buying are envisioning a situation from the movies where the stores won't have anything down the road and to go to one is to risk bringing the plague back anyway.

>>13781399
>Everyone was coughing without covering their mouths. People were out with their kids.

lmao and they'll wonder how they got sick. At least this virus will target the dumbasses the hardest. Natural selection at work.

>>13781522
yeah but they're buying quantities of toilet paper that would last me decades
one normal sized pack of tp lasts me like 6 months

>>13781091
Nope. I got to Sam's Club yesterday when most things were still in stock and there was only maybe a 15 minute wait to check out.

>>13781560
I'm not saying the amount of TP they're buying is logical, but women do use more because they use a bit every time they piss, not just for shitting.

>>13781569
Well maybe they could just learn to not? Just wiggle around a second to shake it off like men do.

I hope all these dumb fucking preppers get it out of their system soon so the rest of us can go and shop normally again. How many days should it take for them to buy all their toilet rolls?

>>13781091
I'm in a weird spot because someone said to me they bought more than the usual amount of groceries, two weeks worth. They seemed like they were trying to impress me with how much foresight they had.

For years, I've been buying a month worth of groceries on a single day because the grocery has a lottery system one day a month so it makes economical sense to buy all your groceries on that one day. So my normal every day living style is double what people preparing for a pandemic are buying. I really have no idea what normal people do, are they really going to the grocery store every day or something? Two weeks doesn't seem like that much food to have on hand at once.

I dunno. It's still three weeks until lottery day but i wonder if I shouldn't go stock up early.

>>13781531
part of the logic here is that as of right now, in most of the country, the viral load is very low. If we need to avoid congregations of people like the supermarket later on like in April, it would be good to have these things now so we can avoid going there then. At least that's what my mom said

>>13781273
yup

>>13781572
You don't get it. You piss as a woman the stream sometimes doesn't obey and drips down your buttcheeks. You can't air dry that shit

>>13781580
I'm afraid it's going to be a self-perpetuating cycle for a bit. As in, retards go to the store and see the TP and canned food sold out and think they need to buy some when the store gets more and so it's sold out again and some other retard sees that and so on.

>>13781399
Protip: Soap works better than hand-sanitizer at destroying corona virus.
The low pH destroys the lipid membrane of the virus.

>>13781582
But no matter what you WILL have to go out in April (unless you are just batshit insane and living in a sealed underground bunker). So why not just buy a few rolls of TP each time you go?

>>13781390

>>13781581
>I really have no idea what normal people do, are they really going to the grocery store every day or something?

I do, kinda, yeah. I live right next to one so it's easier to just walk over and get things fresh as I need them. Like it makes no sense to hoard lettuce or milk since it won't last anyway. Same for bread, mostly. It was on sale last month so I got 4 loaves and froze 3 of them, but now I'm almost out again. But normally it's just easier to walk over and buy it fresh as needed.

>>13781598
This is pretty much what happened to me. I didn't want to be one of the idiots stocking up on TP for a respiratory infection, but I need some and stores have been completely out for over a week in my area. When I finally found some I bought a lot.

>>13781091
>anyone else at a costco and seeing a line that's snaking all around the store and at least an hour's wait?
Just now got home from Publix. No lines, but all lanes were open. It was busier than usual, cars clear to the back of the parking lot capacity, as always super clean, and perfectly well-stocked. Only item missing was toilet paper in the entire store, but it was obviously busy in the soup area, despite no sales there. I only spend $145, got my St. Patrick's menu, some sale ribeye steaks, a country ham to bake, more dried beans for soup, canned tomatoes, a slew of fresh veggies, bagged fruit, some easter candy, and bakery items.
I think i'm done for a while.

>>13781501
Where do you put the rag after you used it? You're not running the entire washing machine every time you take a shit just for a single rag, are you?

>>13781224
>i've noticed it's mostly older people panic buying.
They have $$$$

>>13781581
What about perishables? Don't you ever have to throw things out?

>>13781652
Not him but I assume people just wash them in the sink each time. I would anyway. You don't want piss and shit drying on there.

>>13781369
>t. Shopper at Publix Miami Beach
I'm not kidding, but you should go 15mins prior to opening and stand at the door. That place is busy on a good day. 1) it's the season, 2) panic buying and 3) hangovers mean they will sleep in

My Albertson's was pretty busy today. I don't know if all the carts were in use but none were out, despite people having them. Not sure what the new process is for claiming a cart. I could've bought stuff but just didn't want to deal with the crowds. I imagine Friday night and weekend are going to be hell there, but I got a coupon for a free soda I want to claim.

>>13781632
idk man i'm not a moron i just report moron logic

>>13781671
True, but it's what puzzles me about the whole panic buying thing, unless you are seriously going to live off nothing but bottled water, canned food and toilet paper for months, you will have to go to the store later on, so why the huge stockpile now?

>>13781671
Yeah, no I get you, I wasn't saying you personally. I get the logic, I just don't understand how people plan to follow through with it. Do these people also just not go to work or anything? It's impossible to avoid crowds.

>>13781676
>why the huge stockpile now

Literally "because everyone else is". Gotta get the goods now before everyone else takes them all. It's stupid and selfish but that's humanity for you.

>>13781465
:( i miss texas...

>>13781681
But why are people stockpiling a lifetime supply of toilet paper instead of what they might reasonably need for the next few weeks

>>13781691
And they'll probably figure that out if comes to it, but why do that when you can stockpile a bunch of TP for yourself? Who cares about other people wanting it if you can get it?

>>13781690
because they're idiots

>>13781091
Wowee, another coronavirus thread!

>>13781581
>For years, I've been buying a month worth of groceries on a single day because the grocery has a lottery system one day a month so it makes economical sense to buy all your groceries on that one day.

what the literal fuck are you on about

also the way to win a lottery is to have as many tickets as possible, so even if youre retarded theory on how retail supply chains had any basis in reality, why arent you going every day tovwin the lottery instead of just going once a month

this is post so fucking retarded im angry, sad and horny as fuck.

>>13781832
the lottery is only once a month

>>13781836
What do you win if you go on that day?

>>13781433

>>13781836

jesus christ you must be trolling because you cant be this stupid but i've just come back from a grocery store where people are being complete fucking animals and basically demonstrating they have less IQ points than degrees farenheit to keep a puddle of water from freezing, never mind bring to boil. even if the lottery is once a month, you still want to win by having as many tickets as you can. in your fuckstupid analogy, the days you go should be your lottery ticket, because if they dont have what you want you "lost" then you go and try again the next day to "'win" because i honestly dont believe your stupid enough to think grocery stores, like the lottery, is only open once a fucking month and if you really thought this im going go track you down and stuff your asshole with every roll of toilet paper you have hoarded

I just went by walmart and it was like black friday but instead the grocery section. it was nutty. I wanted to buy dog food because I was a bit worried there might be a run on it. I've seen this bullshit coming a few weeks off and already took care of my needs but I completely forgot about my dog. There is no run on dog food and it was well stocked so no big deal. Dogs aren't suddenly going to eat more so of course, but people don't shit any more so who the fuck knows.

>>13781874
It's already under control. Look at South Korea. It works with an initial widespread wave then quickly tapers off as most people who got it get over it and build antibodies. Right now Europe and the US are in that first wave period but in a couple weeks it'll pass and things will be fine again. The doomers who think this is going to wipe out 40% of humanity are out of their mind. Corona is very contagious, but not very deadly.

>>13781903
It'll peak in another week or so and then yeah I agree. Canada already found a vaccine that's being tested anyway

>>13781900
A good strategy is to just buy exclusively dog food and it yourself as well. Cheaper than canned soup and probably more nutritious and filling too.

I was at Kroger earlier. Jam packed for 3pm.

Surprisingly, all of the staples were gone. Potatoes, bread, hamburger meat and chicken breasts, rice, beans, flour, sugar, eggs. Everything else was there.

What confuses me is that I know the average nignog doesn't know how to bake or cook at all. And they didn't buy any of the things you need to go with it, at least not in volume, like spices, onions, peppers, canned tomatoes, yeast, oil. Are they going to eat plain rice and beans for the next month? Are they going to feel safety surrounded by all their dry bulk goods and toilet paper, but order Pizza Hut because they don't know how to cook anything?

>>13781909
I wish bachelor chow was a real food. Dog food tastes like tuna fish cookies and it's a little greasy, I just can't get used to it. I've tried most of the food I give to my dog. If I couldn't get dog food I'd just make rice and meat and stuff for my dog. I'm familiar with what is and isn't healthy for them so it will be okay if I have to cook.

>>13781148
you will ina few weeks when you realize u dont have any and theres none to buy anywhere. and then again3weeks later when u get worms from shit under your fingernails

>>13781947
If there are worm eggs in my own shit I already have worms.

>>13781947
just get yourself some ivermectin if you get worms. medicine sections at stores are still gonna be well stocked outside of the stuff people are panic buying like hand sanitizer. that's what's interesting about this, certain "key" items are being wiped the fuck out but there's plenty of other useful stuff that's being ignored.

>>13781148
domino effect of stupidity:
>someone on twitter said all the TP is made in China and there will be shortages
>people believed him and started buying it by the pallet
>people who never read the tweet see others buying a lot of TP and follow suit
>news reports TP is flying off shelves
>people start line up to make sure they can by TP too
I was at the store yesterday and the same shit was happening with bottled water. Dude in the line next to me was laughing about how crazy it all was that everyone was panic buying, yet had 4 huge cases of water in his cart.

>>13781091
with hurricane season rapidly approaching, i'd imagine most folks along the gulf coast are already stocked up on non perishables and water.

>>13781191
Underrated

>>13781934

It's pretty clear most of these panic buyers have a mentality driven entirely by fictitious movie scenarios. They cannot think for themselves so go into autopilot when it comes to what they 'should' get - an autopilot template based on what they 'think' is sensible i.e. what people in movies do rather than logically assess their local situation and act appropriately.

>grocery store is in chaos
>put on a baggy winter coat

Who else here /devilish/?

>>13781663
That's my plan, thanks!

>>13781908
they're holding it back at the request of toilet paper and bottled water companies

>>13781900
>I wanted to buy dog food because I was a bit worried there might be a run on it.
That's how it starts. One guy buying extra "just in case" then some other guy seeing it and thinking the first guy knows something he doesn't, so he better grab some too. And on and on.

>>13781399
>How to get cancer: the diet

>>13781426
Asian hunter, yeah right.

I hope they all get norovirus instead of coronavirus as punishment for buying too much toilet paper.

>>13781187
Why aren't these stores limiting this shit? I want a huge brawl to break out in a store and then the store get blamed, just like on Black Friday.

Really weird hoarding patterns here.

Not a single mushroom left, but still tons of every other type of veggies.

All bananas gone, but every other type of fruit left untouched.

No bread. I'm estimating the store got cleaned out of about 200 loafs by 2pm today, but I'm willing to be that got split by less than 10 people. Now, that at least makes some senses in 'staple food' way, but there were tons of dairy, eggs and meat left.

Pasta aisle cleaned out, but canned goods still stocked to the brim. Legumes, rice and beans by the metric ton right next to them, even bulk sacks.

TP all gone, but plenty of every other conceivable type of hygienic product, including soap.

Nobody bought any beer or wine. Still plenty of bottled water too.

>>13782193
Its cheaper than buying meat from the store. Im also in Alberta so where kinda like snow rednecks.

>>13782185
This is exactly why we shouldn't have a stock market. Panic selling leads to a crash and now millions are bankrupt.

>>13782205

Right? I wonder what their plan is. Society collapses and they subsist of a gruel made of hand sanitizer and toilet paper for months on end I guess. Then the 20 loaves of bread they stuck in the freezer come out and I guess that's it?

Madness honestly. My local Wegman's was cleaned out of all kinds of weird shit. I only went in to grab some soda and a rotisserie, had to dodge insane elderly people every step of the way. Gotta admit, kinda nice to see boomers panicking for once. Fuck em.

I literally use two rolls of toilet paper per year.

>>13781903
South Korea and Europe are testing 10,000+ people/ day. The US tested 80 people last week. This is pathetic. This administration literally wants to kill their own constituents!

>>13782225
I don't see the problem. What's a test going to do? Tell you that you have it? Good job, now what? You can figure that out on your own when you get sick. It's a virus, you don't just swallow some pills and be better.

>>13782236
Right? Oh cool, now they can report yet another case on my dollar! Fucking nope. If they are going to have the nerve to turn me away at the doctors, which is now what's happening, then they can fuck themselves.

>someone on twitter said all the TP is made in China and there will be shortages

I hope someone beats that dude's ass. I just checked my roll's wrapper. "Made in USA". Just as I thought. There's not going to be a shortage, outside of this temporary one from everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Literally 3 seconds of research could have prevented this whole thing.

>>13782276

oh shti in that case lemme go take a 4,000 dollar loan to pay for the doctors visit, gotta do my bit for the greater good!

>>13781091
I was at Walmart earlier and all the TP and Paper towels were gone and they just slotted plastic totes into the spaces where they usually are. I'm not concerned, I can simply get free infinite TP from work if I need it and can't find any.

>>13782223
The Costco TP hoarding is beyond insane. I buy the Kirkland mega pack and it lasts me for nearly two years. I'm down to the last 2 "inner packs" from the last one I got in the 2018 holidays; been working from home since last week and I'm barely at half a roll used. I figure what I've got left will last me until August at least.

Unless you've long ago set out to out-parody the stereotypical morbidly obese american and you're overfeeding yourself, your fat wife and your fat four kids on an hourly basis, I can't fathom how anyone in their right mind would grab more than one of those.

>>13782299
>I can simply get free infinite TP from work

>>13782296
Sounds like you need some sort of tax funded healthcare scheme.

>>13782308
I get the same, usually 2 at a time when they're on sale since that's the max the discount applies to. Got some around December iirc. I am set until at least mid-summer between me and my roommate. Regardless, it's fucking toilet paper, they will make more, what is the big deal? I'd think people would be more concerned with buy food than toilet paper, but nope.

>>13781146
>celebrating something Christ said nothing about
You may as well be a C*tholic for all this nonsense you spew.

>>13782329
Seriously, I wonder where that anon thinks the work TP comes from. I'm the employee at my job who orders TP, even that supply was running low and the stupid disinfectant wipes we always buy were on backorder.

>>13782223
I don't use much toilet paper either, but my stupid roommates use a shitload. I regret agreeing to share the TP and take turns buying it, cause they fucking waste it. I could easily get by on one package a year.

>>13782000
Eh to be fair he may be buying his quarterly water. I buy my drinking water in those water cooler jugs and usually buy 5~ at a time. Lasts me a good while.

>>13782347
I work in a hotel, we have massive amounts of the stuff. They won't miss some if it goes missing.

>>13782347
How illegal is it to steal TP from restaurants and other shitting establishments?

>>13782359
In that case you should probably take some now regardless.

>>13782370
Technically it's free. You might get some weird looks from the staff on the way out, but that's about it.

>>13782370
I didn't say it was illegal at all, brainlet. However, if some dickwad stole the TP we would eventually just run out and the supply store doesn't have more right now.

>>13782370
I mean, it's there for public consumption. You better take it while you can or else someone else will.

I bought several Indian curry sauces to stock up for the coronavirus.

The funny thing to me was seeing that they were sold out of hand cleansers but had plenty of Hibiclens. So they sell out of the 2nd and 3rd rate crap, but people don't buy the best skin cleanser because they don't have the foggiest idea what it is.

As for toilet paper, I'm really puzzled why people think that they need so much. Or maybe they are planning on wrapping it around their head because they don't have a mask.

>>13782453
They think they are going to be locked in their homes for 3+ months and somehow will have to shit that entire time despite not buying 3+ months worth of food.

Anybody tried using Vodka as hand sanitizer? Seems like it would work just fine and maybe you can soak paper towels to make wipes

Why does the "milk and eggs in a disaster" script exist for so many people, anyway? I live in Massachusetts and whenever there is a big snowstorm on the horizon, you can reliably expect the milk and eggs to be sold out or severely limited at most grocery stores. It's bizarre. Those aren't particularly nutritious or non-perishable foods compared to some other staples.

>>13782417

My plan in case I need a mask. Except my hat isn't black.

Levis, pearl button shirt, levi jacket, bolo tie, bandana, and cowboy hat is where it's at.

>>13782462
I buy eggs and they're still good two months later. Milk you gotta use quick, but it's for the first couple weeks of the disaster before you move on to the more desperate times on a full rice and bean diet. So it buys you a little more time, basically.

>>13782462
Cause no one wants to have to go out during a storm for milk only to discover the truck carrying it never made it to the store

>>13782452
Santa clarita. We've had police breaking up fights over TP too lmao

>>13782462
It's bread and milk here in West Virginia, and I don't understand either. My best guess is people aren't stocking up out of logic, they just buy what they see others buying.

Whats the situation with the meats and fish? I might stock up on some tendies since I only have 3 boxes of nugs and 4 boxes of tendies left

>>13782486
Unless it's canned, it's not selling out. The people stocking up aren't wiping out frozen or refrigerated foods.

>>13782472
Have Gun, Will Travel

>>13782494
What fucking retards lmao. I might head in to buy some more tendies then. Might grab some frozen vegetables like peas and corn too.

Fug man, I just want to get my normal groceries, I don't want to have to deal with ludicrous lines caused by people being fucking idiots. Or worry about not being able to find stuff that I need to buy.

That's the mess I'm in. I got enough food to last a week or so, but I also had some produce I wanted to whip up a soup so I'm not just eating sandwiches and pasta all week. But fuck standing in a line with sick people for 20 minutes just to buy an onion and some broccoli.

>>13782507
Just grab only what you need from a convenience store or pharmacy or something that isn't a super store and wait a couple of weeks, this will blow over.

Good luck, bros. I'm moving my weekly grocery run up a day and going early tomorrow morning. Might grab some extra lentils or tuna if there's any left but otherwise I'm not stocking up.

>>13782564
>going early tomorrow morning.

RIP in peace dude. Saturday morning is going to be a mad house. At 7 today it was already lines out the ass. If you can wait I'd say try for Monday or Tuesday. Let the crazies have their run of it this weekend. There should still be some tuna after since no one's wiping their asses with it.

>>13782193
do you already forget how we got into this mess?

>>13782576
Yeah, just try to wait it out if you can, but I wouldn't try to go this weekend at all unless you need something really badly.

>not a single person under 50 in that picture

>>13782784
It doesn't have to actually make any sense, people panic buying get a sense of control over something they no control over simply they're doing something about it, they /feel/ like they're prepping for it and it's what everyone else is doing, so surely it's the correct move.

Probably in part due to school hours in play during this picture.

But, Costco is also known to have a high per capita household income over 100-150k. So, yea, rich people shop at Costco. They have the room to buy mega sizes and drop more than $150 at a time each week.

>>13782417

>Is someone buying fuckinv paper plates? What kinda trailer trash is that
They think the best thing to do is the sick person in the household has paper plates going directly into the trash and not in contact with other surfaces, sponges, sink areas, and no other family members. This is common Flu 101 in a household.

>>13782850
>pretending like these people are prepping for self-quarantine if they get sick and not the other way around, trying to bunker down and keep from getting sick

>>13782850
Too bad corona is transmitted through the air so just by being in the same household as the sick person they are already doomed.

>>13782529
>They don't even know how the virus works and why stocking up for a week or two is useless
They are intending to stay out of stores for weeks.

Unless like all the other Costco shoppers in this picture, they have a 6000sq ft home.

>>13782865
Wtf I'm a Costco member and I live in a tiny 800 sq ft apartment with other people. $60/year isn't a fortune to most people, lots of people besides the absurdly rich are Costco shoppers.

>>13782855
>transmitted through the air

?????

>>13782870
it's an airborne virus.

>>13782870
LMAO no wonder it's spread as far as it has if people don't even know the most basic thing about it

>>13782856
Nothing will change in a couple weeks
There's more danger in shopping in fully packed markets than waiting and going more empty hours later

In a month they'll all run out of provisions at the same time and will fill up markets during rush hours again

duh retard. enjoy your infection.

>>13782870
You must be American

>>13782868
>tiny 800 sq ft apartment with other people
You are NOT the average Costco shopper. You have no space to store anything, small kitchen, small fridge, no garage, etc. Yes, there are people who are Costco members with food trucks, small businesses, or a large family smashed into a little house, like immigrant experience, but it's not at all the average nor the majority Costco card holder. Fact. Their CEO said so. You don't do proof by exception to declare facts are wrong. Can't you logic?

>>13782896
Maybe in a month, some of them will calm down and realize simply going to the store and shopping normally will not kill you.

>>13782882
>airborne virus
Not a term.

>>13782529
This is the trial run.

>>13781148
notice how they are all boomers, a generation that has been conditioned and brainwashed to think and act a certain way, they react to certain trigger words/phrases

>>13782903
I wouldn't count on that
Number of infected will keep rising, in a month people will be panicking even harder

>>13782529
>Imagine if the mortality rate for this thing was high

Brainlet. High mortality rate means less transmission. This isn't Medieval Europe, we're not handling bodies unprotected anymore. High mortality viruses evolve into low mortality viruses quickly because viruses run on the same fundamental evolutionary strategies as every other form of 'life' (viruses aren't life, but they're similar in a lot of ways). Killing the host is bad for the virus. It means the virus dies too unless it gets lucky enough to infect someone via the corpse.

>>13782915
But in a month's time, the novelty of the news will wear off, more people being infected can only cause so much panic before people stop caring because it's become the norm now.

>>13782915
Number of infected, sure, but it will still be slowing down since it can only infect a person once. The "re-infection" stories are bullshit due to faulty tests turning up false negatives. As of right now 2 months into it only something like 130k people have been infected which is infinitely small when you look at the 7 billion who weren't.

>>13782916
>High mortality rate means less transmission
Read about "incubation period"
HIV is still around for a reason

>>13782950
But there's already clear signs that HIV has been evolving into less lethal and more transmissible forms like every other retrovirus that has lodged itself in the human genome in the past five million years of evolution.

You're basically making my point for me.

>>13782915
They might be, but they won't all be going to the store at the same fucking time. People aren't going to go to the store every fucking day for the rest of the year. The store traffic is going to taper off and balance in a month, maybe sooner.

I'm only going to Costco to stock up on liquor,thank you DC Costco

>>13782966
HIV is an STD and has been around for decades and it's still deadly
>b-but it's evolving into a..
Decades
An airborne virus with long incubation period and mortality rate of HIV that spreads like Corona would literally be catastrophic short term
If the "only" 50% of the 100k infected so far had died the global market would've crashed and we'd be experiencing riots and mass migration around the globe
Look at the panic 3.4% mortality rate is causing

>>13782993
>mass migration

Why? it's a virus, it goes everywhere, you can't outrun it.

>>13783003

Do people really go to multiple grocery stores in one day? I'm 30 and have never done that.

I don't normally do but its all on the way home for me and I mostly wanted to see how the madness.

I mostly just needed paper towels and I wanted tea.

>>13783071
I usually do 3 stores, one general grocery store for most foods, one asian market for specialty stuff and tea, and then a pet store for cat food and bugs.

Yeah what the hell is up with that? Mine was like that too. Eventually I just found an abandoned cart in the middle of an aisle and took that one. I don't know where all the carts are being hidden since some people still had them.

My grandma asked for a hot dog combo for lunch and then I noticed this monstrosity. I hope everyone is ready for Costco's new sippy cup lid!

>>13781148
TP is a bulky cheap product with a normally steady turnover. To save space supermarkets stock what they think they need and no more.
People start panic buying and a common item is TP. Since there is less TP stocked compared to smaller offerings like hand sanitizer and canned food it runs out first.
News hears about TP shortages and blasts it all over.
Stage 2 panic buyers hear that TP is selling out and decide that it must be the most important thing to buy further resulting in shortages.

>>13781440
You stocked up. You are retarded.

I assume this is what communism feels like when you walk into a big ass grocery and every other aisle is completely empty. This isn't freedom, it's not freedom at all. At least there's still a lot of soda & potato chips to choose from, god bless.

>>13783142
I just drink fast food drinks with the lid off like a black person

>>13783259
No, you are. Intelligent people plan for the future. Intelligent people have contingencies for multiple outcomes. Shit happens. Your life isn't charmed. Do not believe the narrative of eternal optimism that you have been fed. Even if nothing does happen now, something else could happen some other time. When it does, you don't want to be forced to battle the other braindead consumers in the supermarket.

>>13783290

>>13783290
You know if you were really into that shit you're spouting, you'd be stocked up all the time for emergencies and not just when you see a threat on the horizon. After all, "intelligent people plan for the future and have contingencies for multiple outcomes".

What, you thought there actually was some urgent need to stock up on ungodly amounts of toilet paper?

>>13783452
No, I still don't know what provoked the initial run on it, but I wasn't considering it's a big item so stores keep a small amount on hand versus other items.

I just ordered my food online. I'm not going to a store, some poor person can do it for me.

>>13783519
They are going to bring you corona virus dude

>>13783460
Damage control.

>>13783531
Nah anon, it's just not immediately obvious why people think they need a mountain of TP to survive an illness that doesn't cause diarrhea or anything. Like the food and the hand sanitizer make some sense, but TP? Not as obvious.

>>13784135
I have a dishwasher

>>13784143
Still gotta load and unload it. What a waste of time.

Why do Americans need to prep so much? It's not like it's a big secret that excess is practically a core part of American culture. Every time I was there, everyone had these gigantic refrigerators and pantries that were bursting with food. It was a near-daily occurrence that something had to be disposed of because it had rotted or molded. Do they just not know how to do passive meal planning? It's so bizarre to me. There were longer than average lines at the supermarkets here in eurocuckland and the shelves were also looking thin, but nothing near the pandemonium that I see in the images of walmarts and costcos. And even the most inexperienced students have base-food stocks that can feed them for weeks. Are these just outliers?

>>13784159
honestly, if I had to take a guess, it's pure ignorance. Most people don't really know what they're dealing with. How long its going to last, or what to expect. People are afraid supply chains are going to be disrupted, but they're not sure for how long. So people are impulse buying, which is in turn creating shortages, which further fuels panic.

>Order food online from local grocery store
>Get it delivered to the door
>Don't even have to open up for the delivery person
>Pick it up as soon as they leave
Pack all the shit into the shelves, wait until next day and all the virus will have deactivated from the packaging.

>>13783280
Potato chips were running a bit low at my local today. Except for the limited edition meat pie and sauce flavour because everyone knows they're shit. A lot of the KitKat chocolate blocks gone too, but not other brands.

It's not an American thing, it's an idiot thing. This is currently happening everywhere toilet paper is sold. I regularly browse /int/ and have seen pics about it from finland, korea, ukraine, and probably more that I'm forgetting. This webm's from Australia.
But this doesn't feed into your obsession so you're probably just going to ignore this post because fuck having self awareness.

It stays on plastic alone for three days. Just wipe everything down.

>>13784473
Heard too many variations between experts so I'm going to have to ask for a source. It depends on the materials and how its been infected though I'm sure. Someone claimed up to an hour before "deactivated" but that sounds like pure bs.

>>13784480
I heard 9 days, Id just wipe everything down to be sure

>>13784483
You can't bloody wipe everything down and expect any safety if it sits around for more than 3 days. Anything but extremely autistic wiping and spraying of everything you ever buy or touch will spread it around the house.

That means going over all the packaged food that people have touched and prodded at the store. Washing all the clothes you've put your hands on after touching the packaging, especially in the pockets where you cant clean easily. Wiping over keys, wallets, handles, tables, etc. Because even if the first thing you do after coming home is washing your hands and cleaning everything you brought, it can take just one touch inside a pocket or your chin and you'll spread it on your previously clean stuff. Then without knowing you'll touch that again and then touch other stuff. Bam everything is unsafe again. No one will bother going this far anyway.

>>13784483

My local supermarket here in the UK has bare shelves when it comes to anything long life or medical related.

So glad I bought a 6 week supply of food and such a fortnight ago.

>>13784529
There's no point just wiping the stuff you take into your house if you don't take it all the way like I said. You'll wash your hands, wipe the groceries, pull up your phone to check something/take keys out/remove wallet/touch clothes and immediately risk getting shit on your fingers and spread it around the next object you touch without thinking about it. Then for the next meal touch the previous wiped goods and infect them again or spread it around further.

>>13784907
>the vast majority will be fine

Better safe than sorry even so. Even if the happening blows over and you've stocked toilet paper, hand sanitizer and food, will you really ever regret it? That's a lot of money you've saved yourself by stocking up and it's not like covid is the last problem humanity will ever have, so better to be stocked up.

Hell, I always have an at least two week stockpile in case I get regular sick and don't want to go out. People weren't doing that already? They were out of thermometers at the store. Why don't people have thermometers with first aid stuff already? The first thing I do and have always done when I enter my house is to wash my hands, clean off my phone and wallet, and change clothes. I don't understand people.

Twitter and CNN are hyping this up like it's the end of the world because it's easy views and it's just leading to these situations where people are ultimately panicking over nothing. 130,000 cases of infected out of 7 billion is so tiny it's statistically irrelevant but everyone's acting like they ARE going to catch it and they ARE going to die. People are more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the store than they are from the virus.

>let me just stand out here in the open for two hours by all these people, surely I won't catch an airborne virus this way

I've been shopping at the convenience store down the road. They're not out of anything and no one else seems to be going there.
No need to go to big stores when shit like this is going down.

>>13784872
See >>13785246, for as "super infectious" as it is, only 0.0019% of the world has it. I'd say you don't have to worry.

>>13785018
If you're not even the slightest bit panicked by this shit, you're a retard and don't even deserve food.

>>13785299
Why are YOU panicked? Are you an 80 year old? If not then settle down, it's literally just a mild flu. Most people don't even report symptoms and many weren't even aware they had it at all.

>>13782461
And waste some perfectly good vodka?

>>13785314
>it's literally just a mild flu
It's not. It's literally significantly more deadly than the flu. That said, panicking is not going to help. Stay indoors as long as you can. There's no point in rushing out to the store and getting infected while the hospitals are overcrowding.

>>13785272
Yeah, it seems mostly like this is targeting grocery stores and the big megamarts like wal-mart. I work at a hardware store and we still have hand sanitizer and toilet paper and paper towels in stock while people wiping those items out elsewhere, at least when I left yesterday.

>>13785314
I'm panicked because I actually want to live to see 80. Sorry you don't, but I guess that would be normal for a retarded person.

Better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best than the other way around.

>>13785394
You should have been preparing weeks ago or more. Not now.

>>13785330
Who said it was perfectly good vodka? I'm assuming you'd use the cheapest crap you could get your hands on.

>>13785401
I have been. I knew covid would be a major happening all along, all the while people like you were denying it and calling it just a flu.

>>13785272
Yea, my mom went grocery shopping yesterday, and of course the toilet paper was all sold out. She ended up stopping at a variety store to get some.

>>13785368
>CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

Corona-chan is nowhere near those levels.

>>13785394
>I actually want to live to see 80

Death rate for people under 50 is 0.2%. Unless you have crippling asthma you will be fine.

>>13785466
We'll be unbelievably lucky if it only kills 60,000 you fucking moron.

>>13785504
There's no reason to expect that.

>>13785547
Yeah, it will likely be much higher.

>>13785559
The data doesn't support that.

>>13785562
Yes it does.

>>13785564
New cases are tapering off in China, it's already starting to burn itself out. It won't be much longer until the rest of the world catches up.

>>13785504
Well it's done a shitty job so far.

>>13785575
This. Corona has nowhere else to spread to so after the initial wave of infections it will fizzle out as it has no new places to infect. By July when the Olympics start it will be virtually entirely gone.

>>13785405
>I'm assuming you'd use the cheapest crap you could get your hands on.
Which is still PERFECTLY GOOD VODKA!

>>13785584
>Well it's done a shitty job so far.
What did you expect? After all it was made in China.

>>13785466
death rate for people under 50 for the regular flu is .01%

this is twenty times more deadly, how is that not significantly more deadly?

>>13785960
Plus the flu is still happening right now on top of this and corona has just gotten started in the West.
I'd rather look like a retard and not have to go grocery shopping for a couple months than bury a family member or get pneumonia.

>>13785960
Don't know how else to explain it if you think two tenths of one percent is significant. It is statistically irrelevant. You are not going to die from this, end of story.
