https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/fcj0p0/coronavirus_megathread/ My buddy works at a Costco. They're sold out of water, milk, bread, toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, bleach, batteries, and a whole mess of other stuff. Somewhere is a doomsday prepper chilling out in his cabin enjoying a rice and jambalaya MRE chuckling at his foresight. My question is, are people even thinking? Milk and bread spoil, so why hoard those? Bottled water? The municipalities are gonna shut off the pipes or something over this? Hand sanitizer? Doesn't that only work for bacteria? My real, real question is, is this all an over reaction? Me? I'm a bit nervous at the thought, but I'm not like rushing to the stores in a panic.
