State declared a state of emergency

Town declared a state of emergency

Schools just shut down for 3 weeks

My Job closed all offices world wide for 2 weeks

Everyone around me is panicking about toilet paper and other basic supplies

Empty shelves at all of the stores

I had been considering pulling my kids out of school for a few weeks and now my wife and I are relieved that we do not have to pull our kids out of school and risk them having to repeat a grade. Other than that we just shut the front door and declared that we are not opening the door for 2 weeks. The sense of peace and satisfaction from knowing that we are well prepared and have basically no real worries for at least 6 months is overwhelming. If you are well prepared the end of the world will for the most part feel like a camping trip, not a catastrophe.

Lessons learned: Don't forget feminine hygiene products. My oldest daughter is now of that age and I had to run out for a few boxes.

It is nuts watching people run around like idiots for TP and canned soup. While I'm sitting back with a full complement of preps.

I already felt prepped up but a couple weeks ago, but I stacked some more items just for the hell of it, weeks ago! Yesterday (3/13), was nuts in the stores around here. I saw various pictures on social media of empty shelves. It is hard to believe it took an actual declaration of emergency for people to decide, "hey maybe I should go get meh milk and bread!".

I don't understand people buying all the water either. Sure I have a lot of water at home but this isn't the type of emergency where utilities should be disrupted. Hell, I don't even expect food to scarce after this panic buying stops.

My parents have food for like 1 week and despite my warnings have decided ON PURPOSE to not get more because "that's hoarding"... guess I will wander the wasteland alone afterwards.
