the bad part of it is i live in the heart of earthquake country, so all the people panic buying now should have already had 2 weeks of basic supplies as part of their earthquake prep

You fool do you realize what you have just done? Now California is going to get a major earthquake on top of all this!

Also apparently Trump is floating travel bans on NY and California because of course.

nobody came out and said it, but in both coronavirus threads, the point everyone lost their minds is when disneyland and disneyworld announced they would close and pay all their employees for time off

I went to the store yesterday to do my regular weekly shopping and the only problem was the bar soap aisle was pretty bare, today apparently they're out of water and toilet paper lmao gently caress going shopping again until I need to. hopefully all these last minute preppers wear themselves out.

Office pretty empty now. Ironically, the worse it is getting the bigger the need to come in to keep numbers up so I still have a job when it comes to are recession.

full out panic buying has hit the local grocery store. i was standing with a dozen eggs and some beer in the middle of a 15 person line for a register. people cruised by with shopping carts full of the weirdest stuff, like one guy with a cartful of two liter bottles of coke. everything about this moment feels insanely surreal

when the commissary was picked clean the garrison commander did a live stream in front of a potemkin fully stocked shelf insuring everyone we still had food here and the reception was almost overwhelmingly comparing him to north korean state media "WE HAVE FOOD HERE,TOTALLY REAL"

I see that from time to time in non-pandemic circumstances. It's kebab-pizzeria dudes buying Coke from the supermarket when it's on sale because it's cheaper than buying from the wholesaler. (As explained to me by a co-worker whose parents own a kebab-pizzeria.)

Not saying that's what that was but anyway

nyse up 9% today, so it's working. I mean it's literally the government announcing they're going to spend the $50 or 90 or whatever billion in emergency funding and handing it to a bunch of companies. That'll restore confidence, at least temporarily.

yeah (depending on country), plus the guidance is that anyone should stay home if they feel sick. not clear how you could do more rn without wasting a bunch of tests.
