Coronavirus (non political)

I feel like I dont have enough food. I have a standard size fridge/freezer combo and the freezer is full of frozen veggies, just 1 turkey breast. Have a good bit of pastas, 10 cans of soup, 5 cans of beans, 5 cans of tuna, a few bags of rice, 3 frozen pizzas.

My family can last 2 weeks ... but not 4. plus I feel like ill be feeding the family of 8 a few townhouses down from me.

Our office is still open ...

There isn’t a food shortage

We HAD a system, trying not to go political but that system was dismantled and literally shut down in 2018 bc .. ya know.

The cuts started in 2018, as the White House focused on eliminating funding to Obama-era disease security programs. In March of that year, Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer, whose job it was to lead the U.S. response in the event of a pandemic, abruptly left the administration and his global health security team was disbanded.

That same year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was forced to slash its efforts to prevent global disease outbreak by 80% as its funding for the program began to run out.

You may want to fact check that.

So Saturday I went to the Grocery Store came home with 3 cases of beer. Went back Sunday to actually buy some food. No hamburger, no chicken, not steaks, no bread, only found one pork loin. Good thing we had some food.

NYS Has just shut down all bars/restaurants/gyms/malls etc. Effective 8pm

Even in Italy you can still buy food... stop panic buying everything in sight

Although I’m definitely hitting the liquor store hard today, won’t be surprised if they may have to close

I worked in the grocery business for 31 years and been retired 3 ,I called some friends at the company I use to work for and they said the same. It's panic buying ...people buying all sorts of crap they don't need. There is food but getting it to the stores is the problem. We would have one truck deliver to two or three stores normally but with this buying some stores need two truck deliveries a piece and even that's not enough .All so most grocery companies have outsource their dry goods to a third party supplier (C&S) they have warehouse's all over the country but their biggest is in PA off of rt 81 . It's fully automated and handles their Toilet Paper type goods and such.Being that it is an automated system it can only go so fast and it works for dozens of different companies all going through the same shit right now.

I picked the right time to quit drinking (going for 40 days). No where to go enjoy a cold one or ten anyways.

They really need to start rationing everything. Saw a woman the other day and her cart was over half full of just meat. Totally ridiculous. One of my coworkers bought 96 rolls of toilet paper. People are losing their shit.

At least they'll have plenty of resources to clean it up.

I bought a 12 pack and that felt like too much. 96? I don't even have space for 96 rolls.
