I had no idea that Excedrin was that popular.

Not really paying attention. I glance at it once a week then move on.
Not needing much from the store these days but will continue to buy and rethink as the situation evolves.

Watching the news, seeing more and more panic buying. If people would just take the time to be prepared, you wouldn't get this crazy panic buying.

It usually takes 'something' to wake up the masses. When this one passes those same masses will go back to sleep. As far a this one, the media is pumping it for all it's worth. Now their floating the term 'pandemic' on the evening news. All designed to fear-monger and make the market unstable. It will pass.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

WHO Stages of a Flu Pandemic:
Phase 1 is the period during which no animal viruses are reported to cause infection in humans.
Phase 2 is the first level of threat wherein a virus is confirmed to have jumped from an animal to humans.
Phase 3 is when sporadic cases or small clusters of disease are confirmed, but human-to-human transmission has either not occurred or is considered unlikely to sustain an outbreak.
Phase 4 is the point where either human-to-human transmission or a human-animal virus has caused a community-wide outbreak.
Phase 5 is when human-to-human transmission of the virus has caused the spread of disease to at least two countries.
Phase 6 is the point at which the disease is declared a pandemic having spread to at least one other country.
Know your definitions and why not to get all tragic/worried....There are things that spread from Canada to the US all the time....
An an Epidemic is based on a statistical analysis. Example: if 1.5% get something out of a million and it jumps to 2% - that is likely an Epidemic.

Mesa, Az - toilet paper and house hold cleaning products gone

Not Walmart, but the grocery store was about out of bottled water today. Usually pallets full of it. Didn't notice any other shortages, but didn't look in cleaner or canned goods aisles.

Here is the real problem with things like this;
The "masses" get all scared, nothing happens, they have a bunch of crap they don't need, gets old, thrown out, etc....
And then they decide they don't need to prep sensibly, panic all over again, or worse, ignore things.
