covid 19 panic-induced hoarding

Here in Washington, as of today - restaurants and theaters are closed for 3-4 weeks, colleges and younger are closed next six weeks.

I went to Yokes (like a safeway) and besides TP, aisles were empty - no tomatoe sauce - no spam, no eggs, only one brand of mile, no butter - was amazed - never seen a store so empty (not counting the pictures I've seen of commie countries).

I am sure there is plenty of hype - and hoping it is - but washington has the highest number of infected folks and the most deaths...
