Talked to another friend who works in trucking that gets the material to said store. All hands on deck in both the cabs and warehouses where these items are stocked.

I guess this does not surprise me. It is such a mixed message out there. All the "experts" are saying don't panic.....yet have at LEAST 14 days of food on hand. People appear to be choosing 14 weeks of food. The fear of the unknown is a powerful force.

The store management really screwed up in this predicament. Without any government intervention they should have taken quick action when people started to selfishly hoard essentials by creating limits. These now empty shelves are just going to exacerbate the hoarding and desperation. It’s only a matter of time before you see fights and shootings.

Love the self portrait TLD...

Trump is breaking every rule in the CDC’s 450-page playbook for health crisis

The fundamental principles behind good public health communication are almost stunningly simple: Be consistent. Be accurate. Don’t withhold vital information, the CDC manual says. And above all, don’t let anyone onto the podium without the preparation, knowledge and discipline to deliver vital health messages.

Experts say that means not having multiple messengers jockeying for attention with completely different information. It means not overly reassuring people in the face of a threat that is likely to sicken many and kill some. It also means expressing empathy while also delivering information that may be scary. Tell people what they can and should do at an individual level to help those who are at greatest risk.

IDK, the stores around here started restricting purchase of stuff days ago. Perhaps they could have been sooner but I am thinking they had the same info as everyone else? Hind sight is easy but your point is taken and perhaps they could have done something.

This is the first time I have watched the President live in 2 years. Dude lost some of his fastball.
