It's better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it.

Speak for yourself. Just because it is fine where you live doesn't mean everywhere is the same.

I went out yesterday down into a large suburban area just to scope things out and there were PLENTY of bare shelves...in the big box stores, the large supermarkets, and the little corner markets. Not ALL shelves were bare, but plenty enough to make ya wake up and take notice.

Suggestion: Try not to sound like such a know-it-all...because you're proving that you are clearly not with every post.....

You need to worry about your immune system and your 401k, not whether or not Count Chocula is running out.
Ok. I am going to quote this so you cant delete this.

We are not talking about Italy. We are talking about CALIFORNIA.

There is nothing anyone can do about their 401k and immune system. You can only do what you can to prepare yourself for a natural or manmade disasters

California will not have a shortage of food. Period.

You might die of Covid-19, you might have your 401k eviscerated, but you will not have a problem finding Cheerios.

Nope, but this is a good opportunity to rotate stock of my shelves. Than I help stimulate the economy after it all over by replenishing ......

Do you have short term memory loss? Did i say CA has shortage of food?

Let me repeat this...again. There is a shortage of TP, wipes, sanitizer, canned food, and nonperishable food. Fresh and perishable food are still available, but definitely not as plentiful like before.

Ask me how i know all that.

Stop being an *****. You don't live in my area. NONE of those things were available as of a couple days ago.

I will gladly post pictures of empty shelves of said items if you will pay me $100 each for my time.

And I may use a mask occasionally when entering a place where I feel at risk.....duh.....are you 10 years old or what?
