WTF. So apparently the hoarders are back in full-force.

What is going on with these idiots.
Nothing has changed really since March but the hoarders are back in full force this week clearing out stored of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and canned goods.

WTF????

A lot of people are under the false impression that the restrictions that go into effect tomorrow are a full-on, March-style stay at home order.

Yep seriously. Its not like you couldn't go grocery shopping back then.

My wife went to do her weekly grocery shopping today and said it was insane at the store and lots of cleared out shelves of the same stuff that was cleared out back in March/April.

Who are these people????

I bet Grinchy Witchmore owns a lot of toilet paper stocks.

I do not get the connection between toilet paper and COVID, which is a respiratory virus.

Me neither! Diarrhea is NOT a symptom of Covid-19.

I'm not a fan of hoarders, but actually (just to get the info out there) diarrhea CAN be a symptom of COVID. I heard this first from my sister-in-law who works high up in hospital administration and has had a bird's-eye view of the problem since March, then it was confirmed later on the CDC site.

I am still okay with the 16 roll pack I was forced to buy back in April because it was the only option. Not looking forward to another round of the hoarder dunces. So concerned with shortages but they leave the shelves stocked with sodium free soup and diced tomatoes. People are getting prepped for lockdowns in '21. Last week an article was floated on the Yahoo main page about anticipated "shortages". People are getting worried and when they get worried they do not think logically. It compounds itself when folks have to adopt such a mentality just to compete for toilet paper and canned good access with said dunces.

My mom was shopping at the D&W in Grand Haven back in April or May. When she was ordering from the deli counter someone took the toilet paper out of her cart.

I was driving from Target to Target, Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart in Phoenix and not a single roll of toilet paper, paper towel, napkin, face tissue or wipes to be found. Picked clean. It was nuts earlier this year. Not looking forward to a return to that. I hope people learned from the last time when they were stuck with closets of toilet paper and canned soup they will not be consuming anytime soon.
