Or read Alas, BabylonGo watch 'How It Ends'..not a predictor of today but a look at how fragile civilized society is...
We gave up our manufacturing base for corporate profits based on the labor costs elsewhere. I note that the rich elites in NY are fleeing to the Hamptons. The working folks have to lose paychecks or take the crowded subways to work when sick. Family in the NW tells me that sick folk have to go be a barista as they have no benefits or sick time.
I read that 75% of our drugs come from China or India. We don't make respirators. That's annoying for this crisis. Imagine a war with China, if you want to posture about such. Hello, China - we will fight a perfect war against you with fire and fury. Oh, you aren't going to send the drugs and supplies our soldiers need during the war?
Oops.
Alas Babylon is a great book. I just got a new copy to replace the forty year old one that was literally falling apart. It a favorite read of mine. I read it again every year or twoOr read Alas, Babylon
Now lets everyone run around telling everyone to stock up on ammo and reloading stuff and then those of us who actually need the stuff wont be able to find it. Went to Walmart and another chain last night and no milk, bread, meats, water, eggs, lunch meat, etc. So sick of the whole worlds gonna end crap. Ammo isn't going anywhere but I'm sure a few hundred people who check this forum will rush right out and empty a savings account because of a virus.
The governor closed all schools for the next month, the health dept lady made her 100,000 people comment, I have guys at work telling everyone that martial law is going to happen. I just got word that Walmart and other stores parking lots are so full you cannot find a parking spot. If people are so freaked out they are hoarding TP and peroxide I fear we will be right back to an ammo shortage.Well, it wasn't helped by that Ohio official announcing 100,000 people in Ohio had coronavirus. Right now, the figure nationwide is probably short of that number right now. My guess is she was talking about worst case scenario.

Me too. But I'm trying to look at the bright side - it might be all the excuse I need to justify (in my mind anyway) running out and buying the new Glock I've been hankering for.So sick of the whole worlds gonna end crap.

But, I would be more worried about surviving the coranvirus than whether the local store will have primers. You are not going to be shooting if you are sick. No vaccine will be available for at least 18 months and there is the real chance of re infections, as this comes and goes. I don't know if surviving the first infection somehow provides immunity, but if this virus is like others, it will mutate and then you will come down with version B, then C, then D.
Yes this might be a way bigger problem than people realize. World leaders sure are showing lots of stress on their faces when they lie to us.
And right there it is. I have read 2 pages saying this isn't a conspiracy, political scare tactic or even a panic, SHTF thread but this right here shows this is exactly what it is.I highly recommend that new Glock! But not because China is trying to destroy us with biological weapons.

The supply chain of what? Saw blades and medications. The only supply chain that myself and any other normal American should be worried about is yes, medications but also food. People are getting really stupid around here with buying carts full of soaps, baby wipes, Lysol, paper towels, etc. I know a mother of a baby and she cannot find baby wipes anywhere. What's next, adults wiping their butts with baby diapers? China isn't out to get us, Bloomberg isn't even running anymore so who cares about him. People are losing their freaking minds in Ohio because of crap in the internet like this. Everyone needs to calm down and relax and if they get sick they get sick.I tried to bring the thread back on topic one time and everybody wants to talk about anything but the supply chain issue so I'm going with it from here.

All the consumer can do is not buy Chinese crap.
Except you can't....
No, no. you haven't been paying attention to the thread. Your not supposed to buy beer your supposed to buy ammo! You need the ammo and the Lysol wipes so when the Corona Virus kicks in your door you can shoot at it and if that doesn't work maybe throw some TP rolls at it or something. I don't know to be honest.Sounds like you need to find the beer isle and chill out.
