Grocery store I frequent had lots of empty shelves. No oatmeal or peanuts and I got the last pint of half and half cream. No frozen berries for my morning smoothies either.

Mad cow disease was caused by cattle eating feed that was contaminated with neural tissue that came from sheep that were infected with scrapie or from cattle with BSE.It's simply a snowball rolling downhill - the previous "pandemics" . . . . mad cow disease
You've known me long enough that I don't fall for that conspiracy BS.Ah, I think I know where this is going...
Pro tip on the toilett paper acquisition. In this area at least all the mom and pop liquor stores are still fully stocked. Every place else including the major convenience store chains has been cleared out like a swarm of hungry locust went through but I guess the hoarders didn't think about the independently owned liquor stores.
If you're stockpiling, its no good keeping large amounts of perishables.Here the locusts are hiring busses and going out into the country to devour all the supplies except for the fresh vegetables.
For the ones still thinking this is just another flu. Please look at what happens in Italy. Their medical system is at break down point. And Italy is not known for having a bad healthcare. Here in the Netherlands, IC is filling up more rapidly than during the normal flu epidemics. People end up in IC with major lung problems, half of the people ending up in IC are younger than 50.
The American people are about to find out what poor healthcare system we have. The majority of us will remain blind afterwards as well.
No healthcare system can deal with a pandemic. No large city can deal with a mass casualty event of more than 12-1,500 people on a good day. (Italy also has an predominately older population of smokers.)
Don't get me wrong, it's messy world-wide. The fact of the matter is the world's medical system absent a major world war is not geared to deal with a pandemic.
Yep, when ICU's are full, and hospitals are having to practice battlefield triage, who are they going to choose to treat?I don't disagree with anything you are saying. I'm talking more about how we insure people, and protect workers when they are sick.
I know I said this upthread last week but they've got to run out of space eventually right? I mean where are they putting 40,000 rolls of toilet paper and 30 flats of eggs? ( actually saw a woman loading about 30 flats of eggs into her car Sunday and several other people with like half that on Saturday)Here the locusts are hiring busses and going out into the country to devour all the supplies except for the fresh vegetables.
Queensland has just changed its laws so that supermarkets can restock 24/7 instead of only during business hours but the problem now is that a lot of truckies have self isolated so there is no one to drive the trucks.

I don't think you can even freeze eggs right?

I think as already stated in this thread that the death toll is not the main concern at the moment.
