Walmart CEO: Consumers are stocking up again as coronavirus rages on

Very SAD.
Some aren't conducting any form of common sense, and, or, responsibility.
Please.......let's try to follow through with what's best.
So.
There can be some kind new normal.

I would imagine some of the stocking up is in anticipation of riots next week as well. If I lived in a city proper, I'd want to have necessities on hand for a few weeks. Rioting has become en vogue as well as sponsored, so I expect it regardless of the outcome of the election.

Yup, I agreed there will be some rioting somewhere when the results come in

Ok! 6 deaths from Corvid-19 this week! MMMMMMMMM 8 deaths from Cancer everyday in my little province of 1.3 million people. I fear cancer more than Korvid-19. Hiding in your closet is no good. There is gonna be plenty of mental problems in the very near future. Just follow the recommended precautions and you will be safe. Keep away from large groups. It's those young people with their silly "High Five" & getting drunk in bars that are causing the number. Not old timers like me!

1.3million? No, I'm speaking of a rural population of 9 to 10 thousand.

Yes, I've thought about this also. My family is all on board with stocking up with enough of everything to last a good while in case things get really ugly here in a hurry. And it could happen. :(
 
There's good reasons to stock up. With the second wave, who knows what will be in short supply again or out of stock. In addition, prices have shot up on several items sold on Amazon. Rubbing alcohol is very hard to find and 8 ounces was going for $5.00+ at the local pharmacy. Thank goodness my son got 2 bottles for me from Walmart about a month and a half ago: 16 ounces for $1.89. I used to get 64 oz from Costco for $5.89. Haven't been able to find them at Costco since COVID hit. This pandemic has made me super glad that I buy most things in bulk. More than a year ago I bought 400 non latex gloves from Costco and haven't used half of them yet. Now they are sure coming in handy.

I live in a fairly large city but so far we've had only peaceful protests. At this point I'm not worried about riots interrupting what's left of our normalcy.

Glove prices are doubling. Heard a couple docs discussing it over lunch.
 
My worst fears are realized. Our governor issued stay at home orders, a curfew, and stricter covid laws all around. I'm going to hurry and stock up on vitals today as this is sure to get worse before it gets better. We're right back to where we were last April and that was unendurable. :cry:
