you describe the stereotype Wally Werld shopper and the stereotype exists for a reason. I laugh at them all the time. In this instance, I’m not laughing at their fear (if it exists), I’m laughing that they don’t believe facts, they believe the orange MF and they’re STILL buying hand sanitizer and TP in bulk. Whatever. It is funny in a sad pathetic kind of way.

I’m headed to Costco and Target today for my weekly shopping. I’m curious to see if shelves are empty and what’s what. I went to Natural Grocers yesterday to stock up on elderberry-propolis syrup...something I always have in our immunity arsenal and they were clean out of it. Looks like it is available online, however.
