AKwon asked:


Now that we are one level before the phases 4-5 “Pandemic”, would it be a great idea to stock up on medical supplies, food, and water?

    uhh no buddy this isn’t I Am Legend, or Day After Tomorrow…

    the media is scaring us. just see how all of this plays out and hopefully within the week it won’t become a pandemic.

    yes and no

    this happened with the bird flu scare, people were saying that when it hit there would be chaos and looting and etc etc and that the first thing would happen would be police doing housecalls to check that people weren’t hoarding supplies. this is because they think people hoarding will want to protect their resources, like with force.

    if everyone starts stocking up now, there’s not going to be anything left and it’ll cause a massive panic

    that said we’ve got about 6 weeks worth of rice in the cupboards
