I have never seen no lineups at Costco, it's always packed! Seems like just another normal day there.
CTVNationalNews Let’s in-still fear and panic into the world population..we are all going to die from coronavirus unless each and everyone of us on this planet self quarantines ourselves for the next 6 - 12 months
I can rarely shop at Costco anymore as there is limited parking all days of the week. It's NOT virus related. The media needs to stop the fear.
There are no lines at Costco. Ever.
Increase in cases in Toronto all tied to Iran. Quarantine everyone who has been to Iran. How does it make sense to have these people in the public? Common sense tells you to not expose the public to those who have been to countries dealing with major outbreaks. QUARANTINE!
Fear makes profit. Instead of buying all those bottle waters - freeze water in freezer bags (you can reuse them) or in large metal bowls.
I don't see anything abnormal in this photo, I think MSM exaggeration is showing.
Looks like any Saturday at any Costco
🤣 actually looks like a slow day at Costco
Long lines at Costco everyday. More media hype. Jesus, it’s getting pathetic 🤦🏻♀️
I'm sure the busy day was due to a week of bad weather prior... not the virus
Must be another fake storm day
Like anybody needs a pandemic for an excuse to over shop at Costco?
Going to be a boom in the economy ... buy stocks. Buy buy buy. To the moon baby.
crazy.
Really? Was in Costco the other day and never noticed anything like that. Must be in China.
Can you stop scared people whit your sensationalist headlines do your research.
It is unfortunate that most people do not have a 3 month supply of canned goods and essentials in the house at all times. You can achieve this by rotating stock properly. Most canned are good from 2 to 5 years. Cleaning supplies etc 10 years.
Those are NOT long lines at Costco. I would love to see lines like that with small orders in the baskets too!
Why CTV? Just share this. A book printed in 1981 predicted the CoronaOutbreak Covid19 Wuhan400
It’s called shopping at Costco.
Mass hysteria apparently didn’t die out in the Middle Ages.
And yet they all continued to barehanded those free samples everyone's been fingerblasting and caughing onto the entire day.
Looks like every weekend at Costco in Calgary. No panic here.
long lines at Costco eh!?
Everyone needs to start panicking immediately.
Pfft.... This is just another day of shopping at CostCo. Haven't you ever been there?
Economy must be doing great!
If they return,please set up only a return window and a staff member and then the global media will be at the door to expose these returns
How many people died from the flu so far this year? It's contagious, better hide!
And some of the same pictures have been shared . Same pictures all different said locations .
Okotoks Costco bread aisle.
Experienced this today, empty bread shelves, staff says extra help brought in due to panic buys for several days due to huge run on disinfectants, tissues, tylenol, basic groceries. Long lineups at check outs. Sample clerks were still out in full force though, important stuff!!!
click bait. First the down play and if we react we’re racist, you fired an anchor for making a joke I believe ... now the sky is falling ? Did you even observe the image before posting !? There’s no emergency preparedness sundries in the carts. SMH.
Haha..FAKE NEWS indeed. I was at Costco today and it was just as normal as every other weekend shopping trip. CTV is the Toronto SUN of news now. Congratulations
The paranoid masses. How easily the media can influence the masses. I am a independent thinker beyond the mass paranoia instinct. For survival in a real food shortage the two most important items will be a gun and a can opener.
I have never seen Costco with no lineups. Costco is always PACKED, always!
So... Just like evey other day at Costco
Reason number whatever that I do not shop at Costco
So just like a storm day?
Costco in Nanaimo a guy came in yesterday and bought TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS worth of groceries they asked him if it was going to a camp (logging) he sai no it was for himself cus of the coming virus
Wash your hands.....
This has been going on for years. It’s called “weekend at Costco “.
Did my panic shopping weeks ago, bring on end of times!
I love how the cashiers at Costco scream directly in your face, 'I NEED AN OVERRIDE IN AISLE 13' 📢😖
Looks like normal Costco slow news day CTV
Definitely no line ups at the sperm bank tho
Click-Bait
Trying to spread fear and panic I see.
Only in new China towns
Big whoop, I seen longer lines at the bingo women's washroom at intermission.
That’s a normal weekend at Costco.
FAKE!!!
I was just at Costco the lines were actually better than usual. They also had 2 workers wiping down the shopping cart handles on the way in! The only thing they ran out of was havarti cheese. 👍🏼
Look in the carts. These are not prep items. What is going on CTV. Perhaps actually looking at the photos might help?
Ya, the long lines at Costco are due to Coronavirus... I am guessing the author doesn’t go to Costco EVER on a weekend. You would think the apocalypse was coming if you wandered into one on any ordinary Saturday.
Shelves are not empty.
Try No Frills 😂 Lots on the shelves even found a pile of Clorox wipes
So a regular day there?
Ctv shame on you
So Who is actually running this so called News organization? Fake news of the North
Media is not hyping this. The store I work at had empty break and water shelves today which doesn't happen normally. Keep in mind though that people are starting to get their income tax returns with their carbon tax rebates.
Y2K, SARS, Ebola....all threats, all died down after a few months. So why Ctvnews...are you promoting mass hysteria? This is not helping the situation any...
Was at costco a few days ago and everything was fine...
All others stores iv been to are fulli stocked hell saw a drug store with and tire shelf full of mothing but canned chunky soup and they were sale. Right now tea’s are what flying of shelves and fisherman friend from regular flue season
AlwaysCheckTheSource
OMG the media hype is over the top.
mediahype
Make sure you don't take a Uber home since if they're sick, they won't be taking time off since they don't care about driver or passenger safety! Uber_Canada Uber_Support You get the coronavirus, and you get the coronavirus!
That pic looks like a typical day at Costco to me. I encountered none of that this weekend. In fact cdn tire had tons of sanitizer and masks. Media hysteria I think.
Fake news
Went to Costco today and it was just a normal weekend
Here’s something to spin about. A lot of their products come from China.
I was at the one Kitchener today, haven’t seen it that busy since Christmas. Was nuts.
Maybe the stock market will rise 🤣
The empty shelves could be due to those blockades. Goods are not getting delivered.
bandwagon effect... 🤪 why people still falls for these? it will only create more confusion and scare the elderly. shouldn't the gov make a statement to educate the public?
This is what any Costco looks like on any given day 😒
Media makes people panic , and only the stupid ones follow the panic. .🧐
Hey Everyone, LETS PANIC SHALL WE!!
Probably from the blocking of the rail lines
Are you sure it's not because of the rail blockages
Panic buying?
These are the same people who bought generators and pallets of water for Y2K
Just came from Costco in Edmonton, lots of people and shelves were well stocked.
Still all over those free samples though I bet.
This type of hyperbolic article serves to perpetuate panic. Grocery retailers , however, will be happy.
fakenews reporter obviously never been to Cosco
Thought trump said it wasnt an epidemic
Or, it could just be another weekend afternoon at any Costco anywhere in Canada.
This paranoia is getting completely out of hand.
More people die from the flu every year than there have been cases of the coronavirus, people have been media hyped into overreacting .
It’s a Sunday. Everything is busy on Sunday. Check back again tomorrow
I was at Costco in Abbotsford yesterday and it only took 7 min to get through the till. Way to try to cause a panic.
lettienets Media is promoting hysteria which is aligned with the Socialist dictatorship agenda. 600Million MediaPayoff chaos COVID2019 CoronaVirusCanada TrudeaUNpuppet TrudeauNotFitForOffice SaveCanada
So explain how this is bad for the economy and the failing of businesses? Lmao
JamarTheGay no, no, no, it's just fear mongering we keep hearing. 🤣
Just a normal Sunday at Costco!
Great way to get rid of old stock!!!
Ya cus JustinTrudeau and the rail blockades throughout the country have absolutely nothing to do with it.....CTV's gotta keep pushing false information.....
So a normal day at Costco. Shoppers has Lysol wipes on sale and more great deals FYI
Costco always has long lines
Edmonton’s Costco in the west end was looking very well-stocked and normal day before yesterday
Only the fat ones like Fraud will survive.
Handing out disinfectant wipes at Costco Oshawa
Yes I’m sure that they’re seeing more people for that, but pictures of long lines at Costco could also be a normal Sunday
Isn’t this just Costco all the time?
Costco? 's testing in Canada. Are there enough test? Who's in charge? What about those at home heading advice? Do we have enough medical equipment? There's NO answers about the virus in Canada IMO. Reporters ask the difficult questions! Other countries are more transparent!
There’s money in hysteria.
I see a lot of concerned people making the best preperation they can for the unknown. It's far better than 'I guess the government will look after us if there is a transport issue'.
Long lines!?! At Costco!?! No way!!!
Stocking is what every women does I think.. So no need to panic just be precocious I would say with who you came in contact, be aware of your surroundings..
how stupid. but then that's the only advice given by the government
Empty shelves maybe. But long lines at Costco? Not news.
Remember Y2K panic? Oh... no? How about SARS panic in 2003?
Nope, it’s like that every week since they started putting in self checkouts.
Good for Costco!
Go figure.
Giving a blizzard sat , stock up lol
It's always packed at Costco
Is that why Sobey’s was busy for once.?
Check out the expansion date make sure is good for the next virus 🦠
Must only be Costco shoppers. Every other grocery store is normally stocked with goods except for Purell.
Thank you PattyHajdu for instilling fear into Canadians.....inept, useless POS are some of the criteria for being apart of Trudeau’s cabinet.
Thank god that I've been stocking up for years :)
Funny how media hysteria does that
