>Coronavirus: Supermarkets preparing for 'food riots' as panic buying Brits strip shelves
Tesco supply chain director Bruno Monteyne said a large scale outbreak in the UK could result in "panic buying, empty shelves and food riots" to which retailers would need to take drastic measures to prevent people going hungry.
He said supermarkets would be forced to revert to 'feed the nation status' in a worst case scenario with COVID-19 having already claimed its first fatality in the country yesterday.
Panic buying has spread across the US from New Jersey to San Francisco with worried shoppers emptying shelves to stock up on supplies amid a surge in deadly coronavirus cases An increase in testing for the coronavirus began shedding light on how the illness has spread across the US with the death toll rising to seve and confirmed cases reached more than 100 The recent boom in numbers has brought chaotic scenes to supermarkets across the country with anxious shoppers stockpiling food and medical and cleaning supplies Shoppers have been pictured lining up with shopping carts overflowing with bundles of toilet paper, crates of bottled water and dozens of cans of tinned food Inside, photos emerged showing supermarket shelves emptied of cleaning products and hand sanitizing gel
I kinda want to take advantage of dumb normies in this craze

If you can't get toilet paper, make a portable bidet sprayer by drilling some small holes in the neck of a water bottle. Fill it, aim and squeeze. It is remarkably effective.
I'm fine on food, toilet paper, and medication. What else should I prepare for?
Don't say "guns" because can't realistically get them in this shithole.

I was just out, there was some stuff that was out, like TP, only the good stuff I buy was left. But beans/rice actual prep stuff was fully stocked. I even swung by the butcher and bought $40 worth of t-bones (2 monster steaks).
Lighting, batteries, or I assume you can get lard there, make lard candles which you can also eat if it came to that. You can't eat batteries. They should be saved for when you absolutely need them.
Parker Flores
easy to solve by limiting amount of items per customer. only the most determined will go through the tills over and over which will be the minority.
Camden Young
and then they get a delivery... and its fully stocked again. OH NO!!!! I COULDN'T BUY PASTA FOR A WHOLE 24 HOURS!! THE HORROR!!!
Brayden Hill
Why batteries? The only thing that runs on batteries in my house is kids toys and a few flashlights (for which i have plenty of batteries).
And the TV remote I guess but not like I give a shit about that.

It's the coasts panicking. Midwest is comfy, mind you it wont be for long

Also, on lighting. Make sure you can black out your windows. If the power does go out and you are lit up like an xmas tree you are just asking for trouble.
Tyler Gonzalez
stock up on niggers - they're just about as lethal as a gun.
Daniel Johnson
>and then they get a delivery... until they don't 1/5th of the workforce estimated to be out of action
Hunter Wright

>1/5th of the workforce estimated to be out of action
bullshit. truck drivers are basically living in isolated pods. they are the least likely out of any profession to get infected
Landon Ward
Thats all it takes though. The morrisons in my Uni town have started limiting both hand soap and hand gel to 1 per shop because the chink students were buying all of them to resell. Luckily I warned my parents months ago and because they trust me, they are stocked up quite well.
Remember, everyone is only 3 meals away from mass unrest.

Wasted get. No truckers come into contact with a bunch of varied people from varied locations. That's like saying a trader on the old silk road was in isolation

>Eat nothing by mcdonalds / other fast food >Every meal is touched by atleast 3 other people >In their own little pod so anything infected will get spread everywhere and eventually their face. >Will then spread this at each location they drop / pick stuff up from.

Carson Carter
so most of Yas Forums is pretty stocked and ready because they are smart and knew this shit way before normies.
but is there anything else last minute we should get based on new info in the last week? before the full normie panic? im thinking vitamin C since that paper came out about it helping cure corona, anything else?
Julian Sanchez
It's funny how you didn't provide any evidence.
Aiden Bell

Garlic is meant to be a natural healer, dunno how well it does against viruses though.

what.. is the point of "panic" buying?
Thomas Cooper
Local grocery just placed limits on the amount of bottled water you can purchase. 4 cases of individual bottles or 4 gallon jugs. Sports drinks, beer and soda; no limits.
>no evidence to back up his claims >uses meme arguments Sucks to not have friends on a friday in high school huh? Just have to spend your nights shitposting instead of hanging with mates? Sad
conssoooooooooooooomer shills trying to get you panicking so you'll buy their shit.

Kek my uncle is a lorry driver and goes on a 4 day return journey every week, fattest fuck you'll ever see. You seem a bit defensive so im sorry to piss on your bonfire, but unfortunately, lorry drivers arent safe and you're fucking retarded if you think they are in a safety pod in their disgusting trucks.
Imagine being anti preparedness to the point you wait until the very end , until painc has gripped your city. You go to the store to get supplies for the family, the wife is pregnant with your 3rd, the dogs are waiting patiently at home. You pull up to the store only to see a line of people waiting to get in. People walking out virtually empty handed. You think "hmmm thats odd, why arent they buying anything". You finally get inside to see in amazement that the shelves are as bare as this picture. Almost nothing left, well nothing of value. You eventually head home, completely destroyed, in denial that this cant be happening. "Its literally nothing" the memeflag poster kept saying. How can he be wrong. After you break the news to the family they begin to resent you for not being open to prepping in the first place. Your wifes boyfriend has been doing it for years and has plenty of supplies, hes offered to take care of your wife and two daughters. You have no choice but to accept, in reality they were going to leave regardless. Now you are stuck in an empty home with the starving dogs, Its either you or them at this point. They will turn on you eventually too. All this because you thought the word prepper = schizo. All because you let your pride and ego take control. Use some common sense. Prepare now for what could be tomorrow. Its best to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
>my uncle is a lorry driver your uncle is a dumb faggot

Why the fuck would you buy shitloads of fresh meat? It could be months before this dies down.
Caleb Davis
imagine being scared of a virus you fucking poofta
Brody Brown
Panic buyers end up retardedly buying things they think are the sort of thing they should stock up on but would never typically eat.
Remember that photo of the retarded Austrian boomer panic buying in a full gas mask the second a single case was reported in his country? He just had crisps and pineapple slices.
Ian Green
From who? The other fags who also didn't prepare and have no food either but do have the coof?
These are the times I love living in student accomodation. Boilers on every floor, locked up and safe, single room with plenty of electricity, water and fire door which can be blocked in easily with door stops.
Only problem I can forsee is if the electricity goes off I may not be able to leave my room as its all electronic locks set to unlock if power runs out
