Guess I’m missing something

[Sportsman247]

1. To begin with, I’m an Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager for a major corporation here in the states. In a nutshell it’s my job to look out for the safety and well being for our employees and I stay pretty in tune to the latest from OSHA, DHEC, and so on. I honestly did not see COVID 19 creating mass chaos that I have witnessed in this past week. It’s not just the toilet paper but I actually needed to do some grocery shopping and what I witnessed was short of the apocalypse. People were raking canned goods into buggies without really even seeing what product they were getting. In this particular store, there was one 2lb bag of rice and one 5 lb bag of flour left. Then today I ran into Cabelas since we were close and they didn’t have a single box of 9mm ammo. That portion of the shelf was completely bare. A guy passing by told me that he was stocking up on ammo so the he could get toilet paper if needed. Maybe I’ve missed some world ending news or I’m just that naive. Is that happening in your towns as well? Dazed and confused....

I don't get it either. People are crazier than I thought.

I think for some its just all wanting to be part of something. A lot of people don't have anything really interesting in their lives. Pretending its the end of the world may just be fun. Oh, and drama. People love drama.

Kobe Bryant died and the country about lost it's collective mind, something like Covid is simply too much for most to process.

I think you need to read more internet forum posts. You obviously are not very good at your job if you aren't in a state of hysteria over this.

With all the toilet paper being snatched up, I guess there are more A**holes out there than we thought.

If this all turns out to be not much, it will make it hard to believe the next crisis is real.

It is truly amazing to witness the news from the cities. I can hardly imagine how these folks would react to a full on, always fatal scenario.

I have to say though, out here in the sticks the dollar stores are still fully stocked. Panic is still not visible here.... yet.

I think the death toll is still under 100 in the U.S.

The people will be more dangerous than the virus.
Imagine if things really DID get bad?
Still not really crazy here in S. Bama.

The media isn't helping this out in anyway.
People have no idea what they would need to do if there was a real need for rationing or problem getting something to live on for a period of time.
They've been so spoiled and most have turned into big pussies and wimps, they don't know a nothing about being prepared for a hard times or going without.
They buy TP instead of buying products to provide the needs to the body.
I have no sympathy for these people and really don't care if they make it through this bump in the road we're going through, just maybe some of them will learn from this but I really doubt they will

Ever go to the store when 1-3” of snow is forecasted? Bread and milk gone. Wtf? People are stupid.

There are countless events throughout history and every day life which seem to support a conclusion that we humans are an incredibly over-rated species...and yet there are also countless examples of great beauty and good.

Clearly we are a highly diverse species...

Just be glad that you're missing whatever it is that is causing this run on toilet paper. Wouldn't want that.......whatever it is.

Media induced panic in an election year, mind control of the sheeples. I’ve been through much worse and more dangerous than this virus or the last 10 “ super deadly” viruses to start panicking.

Makes a guy think what would happen if something actually bad happened.

I’m no prepped but after this blows over I am now seriously thinking of buying some supplies to store away

Man since you didn’t get the memo I’ll fill you in but don’t tell nobody...

MEMO
9mm ammo for toilet paper
AR15 ammo for paper towels
RPG ammo for towel wipes
M1 Abrams tank ammo if you are gonna need diapers
anything else and your on your own...

It was ridiculous here yesterday. One friend of mine had a bale of TP in her cart, not prepping, just normal monthly shopping, and a lady snatched it out of her cart and took off with it.

Today we ran into town for a few odds and ends, and I needed epoxy to build up some new arrows. Today was totally normal. The only thing missing at the store was milk. Most everything else was in the normal state of too much crap and not great produce.

I’m about to go and see if I can find a package of Oreos.
Right now I’m being dead serious... I’ll trade one roll of two ply toilet paper for a pack of Oreos.

Are they 'double stuffs'?

Chatted with a friend of mine in spokane who could not find TP in 4 different stores. Out here, 3000 miles away, I drove past a truck with its tailgate down...what did I see? Nothing but Dr Pepper and ....TP...
