Re: Look at the super markets.

Personally, I think some people are spending way, wayyyy to much time playing disaster/ survival games and want their little virtual world to become a reality because they are level whatever in it, and a big player in that virtual world. Then IRL they aren't a big shaker and mover, and are basically fantasizing about the real world becoming their game where they will be huge. Except of course, they won't be because clicking buttons on a screen doesn't actually give you any useful skills.

Food chains are perfectly secure and are just having some trouble delivering 4x the amount of normal food. If they end up either limiting the amounts that people can buy, or telling people that if they self isolate the government will deliver food packages then the food problem ends overnight.

The problem also goes away as soon as people are happy with the size of their stockpiles so it's a moot point.

If people are self isolating at home and avoiding any contact with people who might be infected, they aren't going to be inclined to participate in mass riots since by definition that requires people to group together with people who may be infected.

Now come on, get yet more hysterical. You know you can do it. ;)
