Yesterday I was told by a close family member that there was hardly anything on the shelves at Kroger in Davison. But they must be restocking quickly.

I just went there with my dad. There’s lot of food products. but yes, many shelves are empty. In the fresh fruit and vegetables area, there were a lot of empty shelves. A lot of the lunch meat was gone. The cold shelves, where the beef, pork and chicken is, were largely empty. All the jars of Red Hots were gone, the summer sausage too.

There was no bread. No eggs. Most of the bottled water was gone. We didn’t go down the toilet paper aisle or the hygiene aisle, so I don’t know what they looked like. Apparently, the hoarders have not touched the beer aisle yet. There was plenty of pop and plenty of chips. Plenty of wine.

My dad heard over the speakers while we were there that they just had an order of meat delivered and it was in the back. So, looks like they’re doing what they can to keep from running out.

There were a lot of people, but not as many as I had expected. I didn’t see any craziness. Everyone seemed to be doing their normal shopping.

We’re going to starve. I’m seeing many pictures of empty stores. Not just the toilet paper is gone. Everything is gone. I’m hearing about people who went grocery shopping for food, so they can, you know, live, and there was no food to be found.

When I said I wasn’t terribly worried about CV-19, I was stupid. I didn’t see the bigger picture. CV-19 is bad. Very bad. In fact, looking at the results now, I’d say it’s about the worse thing that ever happened in modern America.

But it’s not the virus that’s scary. It’s those dumb fucking selfish panicky moronic assholes who are raiding the stores and sweeping up every fucking thing so the rest of us can’t have it. And we’re going to starve.

When the stores have nothing to sell, these dumb fucking morons are going to start robbing other people for those supplies. If Governor Whitmer was smart, she’d cancel the baiting ban and allow hunting-year-round to reduce the number of people who are going to starve.

I’m a little hungry, but I’m on the fence about whether I should eat anything right now, because I feel like I need to make my food last longer.

Maybe the future is, no one leaves their home.

I’m going to try pulling away from all this now and finally watch the movie “Contagion” that I bought on Amazon the other day.

I know a lot is happening, but I’m still not any more worried about the virus than I was at the start. I know it’s bad and I know it’s spreading. The results we’re seeing were expected. So, the virus hit some famous people, one who happens to be an NBA player and now NBA is suspended. Probably other professional sports will follow. School sports are already shut down, a lot of people are being told to work from home, etc.

But the virus is not as scary as the people who are panicking.

1,200 people out 300 million is a very small number. But many more people are going to get this virus. There is no vaccine for it, no cure, and there is still so much about it that is not known. Plus, there are no hygiene products to be found, so how are we going to wash our hands?

I stand by what I said before. Most people who get CV-19 will get through it. I could be wrong, though. I’m often wrong. So, who knows?

I’ve been looking to this map. It shows how the virus is spreading and it updates when there are new cases.

This was a very distracting day. I haven’t been able to stay focused. Earlier today, I bought the movie “Contagion” on Amazon.com and I started watching it, and then I completely forgot about it. Nothing got done today either.

My Shipt Shopper sent me this picture the other day. I can’t say for sure if it’s related to Coronavirus panic buying, but it could be. She had a lot of trouble filling my order and we had to substitute different items for what I wanted. I had planned to spend around $100, but because so much stuff just wasn’t in the store, I ended up spending much less than that.

People keep telling me that I should be more concerned about CV-19. Well, yeah, sure. I have a reasonable amount of concern about it. I don’t want to catch it and I know it can be very bad for people who I care about it. So, I hope they don’t catch it either.

But I completely agree that the way they are reporting about Coronavirus is very irresponsible. They are the reason for all this panic buying, and people who are insisting that we should be more concerned are contributing to the fear caused by this irresponsible reporting.

Now soap, sanitizer, toilet paper, and all kind of stuff are becoming hard to find. People are buying this stuff up so they can avoid going to the store and coming into contact with someone who is carrying the virus. That leaves a lot of other people unable to find the stuff they need to keep themselves clean and fed.

Eventually, they might start telling us to wash our hands only when absolutely necessary to preserve our soap and sanitizer.

CV-19 is in Michigan. Run for the hills, and don’t forget the toilet paper.

I’m currently watching Outbreak, and I see that it is popular on Netflix right now.

Any other movies like Outbreak that you can think of?

The way they’re reporting about Coronavirus, you would think the apocalypse is underway. Those of us, myself included, who aren’t worried about the virus… what if we’re wrong?
