RE: Coronavirus Pandemonium: My experience thus far.
Same thing here in Los Angeles: https://steempeak.com/life/@distantsignal/los-angeles-lock-down-wuhan-corona-virus-post
The stores get stocked up 2 to 3 times a day, especially in the early mornings, but it keeps getting cleaned out within hours. Even Whole Foods - pejoratively called Whole Paycheck here - was complete out of potatoes, bread and some veggies.
I do NOT understand people buying 100 rolls of TP. You can't eat it. You can't drink it. It's not medicine! Very irrational.
Yeah, they're stocking things in the morning here but it's just flying off the shelves non stop. They're going to be staying closed longer in the mornings to try and get more stock out, but I don't think it's going to make much of a difference.
My guess is that the currency for the end of the world isn't bottlecaps like we all thought, it's actually toilet paper and Ramen noodles.
Ha! Only $TP and $RN accepted. No dollars.
yeah I was definitely expecting to see someone scalping TP in the parking lot
Yeah, I'm fully ready to see someone roll up suited up in body armor to try and sell rolls of TP for $75 a pop. Been seeing articles of that shit popping up randomly throughout the country. Apparently some pussyboi in Tenn bought 18000 bottles of hand sanitizer with the intent to sell them for 20 times the cost. Then got busted on Amazon and Ebay and got banned, and had articles written about him putting him in the limelight. Now all of a sudden he's down to donate them for free, wonder whyyy.
