[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did my regular weekly shopping at HT last night, and it was absolutely mobbed.  I understand stocking up more than normal (I have), but I saw families with four overflowing shopping carts.  At a certain point, you have to step back and question the sanity of this.[/quote]
We were told by the [url=https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0225-cdc-telebriefing-covid-19.html]CDC weeks ago[/url] to prepare. If you paid attention to the news around the world and believed all humans are somewhat equal in the face of nature, you would have come to that conclusion a month earlier. It's insane that families are only starting to prepare now rather than 2 months ago, and even more insane that anyone would still think it's a bad idea.[/quote]
Are you really that ignorant to not undertstand that many families can only buy essentials each week. They don’t have the ability to “stock up” or really hoard is what you’re doing. [/quote]
Lol
So, I shouldn't stock up because some people are poor?
Hell no[/quote]
Stocking up for six months, no. This isn't the apocalypse. [/quote]

People need to stock up for a couple week’s worth in case they cannot go to the store because both parents are sick at once.  Plus once someone in your house is diagnosed you’re probably going to be quarantined.  You need to be able to sustain yourself for a few weeks.  You don’t need 6 months supplies.[/quote]

NP but most of us are not stocking up for 6 months. [/quote]
