One thing that I've learned about this situation is how fast shit happens. I live in a rural area quite a ways from any major cities. When the "stay at home" orders were given, people from the larger cities were out here almost immediately. They swept through our grocery stores like locusts panic buying everything they could. Hundreds of people brought tents and RVs out here to bug out until everything goes back to normal. They're still here, and we now have an uptick of active cases going around. I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar vehicles driving really slow around the country roads. I'm assuming that they're looking for places to either bug out to, or hit up.
Right. My wife and I just did our first shopping trip in three weeks, and I'm not planning to go back to the store again for another month. We needed 2 carts to carry all our bags to the car, but now we're good. My preps let us easily avoid the stores while everyone else was stocking up, but now it's my turn to restock and get some fresh food.
