I stopped at a Safeway in Fairfax County, VA to pick something up yesterday. No panic

I was at Sam’s yesterday. It was just your typical day at Sam’s - everything fully stocked. Sounds like these people are just trying to make a panic.
To: Celtic Conservative
Agree! That’s why I’ve been slowly stocking up just so my normal routine isn’t affected if a panic attack hits the masses. And if we all get sick ill have food also. But no signs of panic buying in RDU area yet. Probably bc no one has been diagnosed in this area. Just wait til WRAL says someone is infected here and it’ll be full blown panic and no kids in schools for weeks

“China deploys 40 incinerators to Wuhan amid fears of coronavirus death toll cover up”
I can see a city of that size having 40 hospitals and needing incinerators just for the medical waste being generated treating the sick.
They have to burn contaminated mask, gloves, and other items. A lot of contaminated waste generate by treating 70K sick people.

3,000 is 10^-5% of the world's population of 7.8 billion.
Chill. That means you, Tucker Carlson.

I debated it, and decided that panicking was the best option. So I’m also well stocked now.

Was at a Wegmans last night in Western NY. No panic. shelves are stocked.
With the exception of beer, of course.
It’s a Buffalo snow storm - so that’s normal.

I had to look up those items. :-)
But, speaking of the U.K., I wonder what mischief the queen is up to now?

Theyre panicking in Northern VA Went to Costco this morning just because it was time and I'm off today. It was more crowded than usual for a weekday and I saw one guy wearing a mask. Instead of the usual throngs of Hispanic families, Asian restaurant owners and muslim women, there were a lot of youngish men shopping alone - both black and white.

wait wait wait... hold on here!
This news report is out of the UK - as if they KNOW what’s happening at every supermarket in the US based on a few photos??
Everyone is reporting there is NO panic. Sure sounds like someone trying to create one.
hmmm...
