This is pretty much what I said to my wife. She all of the sudden got the panic yesterday when they closed schools in Illinois even though I told her it was inevitable they would do this a couple weeks ago.So, was talking today with a buddy that wasn't "Buying into the hype" and wasn't stockpiling things.
Good on him but stupid.
Everyone around you is stockpiling, that will lead to shortages, you will lose access to some things because others are consuming more.
If you live on certain foods, double down on those foods, freeze and store if you need to because it isn't the virus that will cause you an issue, it's the morons buying every fucking thing they don't need in bulk.
Forecasts and JIT servicing for goods has been industry standard for far too long to pivot for this scale. You'll start seeing ramp-up in production happening but not being fully effective til about late april early may, depending on the product.
Bottom line?
Buy shit you use in a greater quantity, because people...not the flu. Plan for 2 months of shortage.
Will be updating this post with benefits as they roll in and I suspect several over time here.

Comcast-Comcast has increased the speeds of its Internet Essentials plan aimed at low-income earners as of March 16, Dana Strong, president of Comcast Cable consumer services, said in a blog post Thursday. This involves offering 60 days of free service, after which people will be charged $9.95 per month, and increasing speeds on this plan from 15/2Mbps to 25/3Mbps.
ATT-
AT&T is waiving fees for going over data caps, adding that many of its internet customers already have unlimited data.
"Additionally, through Access from AT&T we'll continue to offer internet data to qualifying limited income households for $10 a month," an AT&T spokesperson added in an emailed statement Thursday, March 12.
On Friday, AT&T added all home internet users have access to unlimited data; it will offer Cisco Webex Meetings video conferencing for free for the next 90 days for businesses, universities and schools; customers will be credited for the costs of calling CDC Level-3 countries; its World Connect Advantage plan will be 50% off; and it is supporting the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA), which is developing "communication tools for parents, teachers and school boards to help them handle school closures and the increase in virtual learning."
Verizon-
On Friday, Verizon said it will waive late fees for the next 60 days, and keep homes and small businesses connected while they're "negatively impacted by global crisis."
"We want to ensure that our customers can continue to use the internet to work, learn, and carry on with their lives as we all address this collective challenge," Hans Vestberg, Verizon CEO, said as part of a new FCC pledge by carriers March 13 that involves not terminating residential or small business services due to their inability to pay bills during the coronavirus pandemic; waiving late fees; and opening their Wi-Fi hotspots to all Americans for the next 60 days.
Sprint-
Sprint announced Friday that it'll offer unlimited data for 60 days starting next week. The arrangement will kick in by March 19, and Sprint will also provide customers with an extra 20GB of mobile hotspot data per month for the same time period.
The carrier is also waiving late fees from Friday, and won't terminate services if customers are unable to pay their bill due to the impacts of the coronavirus. By Tuesday, it'll introduce free international calling for CDC Level 3 nations for customers with long-distance calling plans.
Customers who don't pay for mobile hotspot services will get 20GB per month for the next 60 days "soon," Sprint added.
Welp. I had a two day class with about 10 people. The instructor was sick with what he thought was a cold. He was VERY good at wiping everything down, even down to our cert as he handed them to us. I brought my own disinfecting wipes just in case and used the whole canister in those two days. That was Tuesday.
I could not sleep because of a cough last night, now I'm getting achy with a mild headache that won't go away for the better part of a day now. Same with one other woman I work with. We shall see.
I work from home, so even if I am sick, business as usual. I'm also not that dick that doesn't give a fuck, and would stay in the house regardless...BUT I did go to the grocery store yesterday prior to feeling bad. Everything I read says it takes about 5 days to show any symptoms. I'm going to assume I'm coming down with a cold, and go from there. Sent an email to the instructor and he hasn't responded yet. Just to check how he's feeling as of yesterday.
Side bar: Can someone explain to me the toiletries being hoarded? Hand sanitizer I get...but why the paper towels and such?
I think the panic buying emptied the stores. Our local supermarket shelves were completely wiped. I even peaked in the backroom and it was completely empty. The thing is the warehouses are not empty. Just the stores were not equipped to handle this. I think once they start to receive shipments again things will look better. That is, as long as the panic buying doesn't keep going past this weekend.
That's just my guess, I worked grocery for 13 years. We had our shelves wiped out during blizzards, and it took a week or so to get back up in stock.
That said, I've NEVER seen people resorting to buying napkins and paper towels to wipe their asses. So I don't know what the warehouse situation for that stuff is.
Paper product suppliers here are saying they have more than enough product to go around, but the shelves are empty. I imagine the logistics of everything is just going through a shock and the throughput or reaction time just isn't there.
