NEW YORK - From Jersey City on the East Coast to Los Angeles on the West Coast, American shoppers picked grocery store shelves clean on products ranging from disinfectants to rice, causing retailers to race to restock their stores as the worsening coronavirus crisis stoked fears of shortages.
As shoppers swarmed stores, President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon declared a national emergency aimed at slowing the spread of the novel virus, which has killed at least 47 people in the United States. The chief executive of Walmart Inc , Doug McMillon, at a news conference with Trump on Friday, said the retailer was having trouble keeping up with demand for products like hand sanitizer Purell, cleaning supplies and paper goods.
In Hanover, New Jersey, about 40 customers had lined up to get into a Wegmans grocery store before it opened on Friday morning. A few hours later, shelves were stripped bare of sanitizing wipes, bulk rice and dried beans. The store posted signs announcing limits on the purchase of hand sanitizer and bottled water.
All of a sudden everyone is a prepper
Wowww
Better safe than sorry.
Shits not on that apocalypse level of fucked until the Lima beans are getting bought off the shelfs. Then I'm gonna start to stress.

Why does it have to be like this? RT : Americans rush to stock up on essentials, retailers scramble to keep up
Stay ahead of the general public on this one folks. Information is crucial
Yeah lets rush and take more than we need so the others have nothing left. Who cares as long as im ok ?
Remember when people said it was just the flu.
I just love to shop

Mankind where all selfish individuals want to stock up to survive so they can reproduce a selfish world ... If Life was about selfishness, there wouldn't be more than a single cell on this planet... John 14:6

And low wage earners go broke just trying to survive. That not so average $400 in savings better be able to stretch!
Such panic isn't necessary at all. 'Keep calm and know that I am Lord.'
USA people as always so stupid 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I just had to explain to a 10 year old how stupid and weak minded adults really are. We've created this society. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
