Let's not actually panic lol (despite thread title).

I don't see any signs that we're headed down that road.

So you may think you're smart but in fact you're no better than the knee-jerk buyers because your actions are producing the same snowball effect.

This virus is just displaying how embarrassing normal people are, and how manipulative social media is really becoming. We've had statistically worse outbreaks but these days everything has to be a huge drama, a huge draw. People are doing more damage to themselves than the virus ever will. In fact you could probably have it, get over it and not realize what it was.
Nope. Those ahead of the curve were slowly prepping whilst everyone else were still ignorant of what was coming, thus not affecting the supply chain whatsoever. If the early preppers were instead a part of the 98% panic buying now there would be even more strain on the supply of goods right now

Don't chit in your shower. It will get stuck in your plumbing and will back that up. Even if you waffle stomp it there's going to be some at the bottom of your p-trap. Chit in the toilet and clean your ass in the shower.

Also-cheap bidet-water bottle with a hole in the lid.

He's made this post a few times, and I've replied just as you have. He persists however. When he's looking at hosed shower faucets at Walmart next week he'll probably come to his sense.

Been stocking up for the past two weeks. We could sit in our house for months if needed on reduced rationing.

This.

1-2 community transmissions a day in LA this week. Uh....that means there's likely a bunch more cases, which if breakout occurs-good bye freedom, hello quarantine. If it happens, it's happening quick. Best to always be prepared.
