Hmmmm? Just been to the Supermarket

[BillMasen]

what we don't need right now is unsubstantiated fear.

How about Unbridled Panic and Mass Hysteria ? WE ARE ALL DOOMED, Aaaaargh!.

Difference their Bill, is the US not trying to lead people to the slaughter in that regard. It's true though, the US involves itself in too many internal affairs of other countries.

I'm been hearing and reading all that doom & gloom crap from 1959 (old enough to understand) and it ain't let up yet but the gloom has gotten darker in this age of social media :-/

[Maverick]

it is a classic!

Now that it was mentioned, I did also see a lot of people shopping today. Usually they go on Fridays and Saturdays here. Did not see any empty shelves tho. I got several bottles of disinfectant and 100 latex gloves but there were still a few boxes on the shelf. Nothing big.

it is a classic!

Both versions are good for once even the remake is a good quality film.

 

[Maverick]

We didn't have a tv in 59 nor listen to the radio that much, did read the paper, everything was about the 'red scare' doom from the soviet bombs, didn't go to the movies but did go into town about once a month so the first time I seen that movie On the beach was probably 1970/71

I went to Sams club and Wal-Mart. Was busy, but not really much more than any other Friday afternoon. Wal-Mart was out of all respirator masks. I picked up all dish and laundry soaps, TP, Clorox wipes, bleach, nitrile gloves, Lysol aerosol spray, emergen-C, all of which I already had, just stocking up on more.

 

[BillMasen]

So apparently someone broke into a dental practice not far from here, didnt touch the drugs but cleared them out of masks, gloves, eye protection and disinfectant stuffs???

 

[Brent S]

I made a trip to Walmart today. Was busy but probably typical for Friday. I mostly got cleaning supplies just to make sure I was stocked up better but was surprised there were bottles of bleach tablets in stock. I wiped them out....

 

[TheGhostofBelleStarr]

I was in Costco a few days ago and saw an Asian couple who had a cart full Lysol spray, Emerg-c, gloves and disinfecting wipes...whole cart was full, several hundreds of $ worth...that's all they were buying

 

[KateMTx]

In my town we have a lot of cases of flu, so everyone wants face masks for that so it's hard to find them; I'm sure the Coronavirus news as has just made everyone more aware.

 

[tmttactical]

As promised, update on our shopping. Need gloves, stop off at Harbor Freight. Shelves and bins full. They also have masks. Wally World, slow shopping day. Small crowds, no lines. Did not look for medical / cleaning stuff. We are over loaded with it. Wife retired for major hospital after 20 plus years. Not going to run out of medical stuff.

 

[Petoski]

no panic here either, but those shopping trolleys were more heavily laden by shoppers than usually,as far as I could see,more dry stuff and frozen too.
there's something in the air,but you cannot say what.

Prisma (Finnish shop) camping/bushcraft section of the store was very busy then I popped in the other day compared to normal, especially for winter time.

 

[jontte]

at this time of the year,with the current weather..it shouldn't be

 

[bigpaul]

going to supermarket on Monday so i'll see then.
I say "supermarket" but most people would class our rural stores as more mini markets!!!
