I never thought panic buying is real , until it happened to me yesterday. I cannot imagine how people rush to the super market to buy their needs when the President announced the Community Quarantine starting on Monday. My big cart was loaded of foods and supplies good for 1 month . The sad thing was, alcohol is not available !

Everybody should buy only the necessary thing, otherwise we will create more bad things, as many people will not have what to eat.

@zoe316 I am from Romania. I guess it is similar as in all places, but people don't really obey the rules.

The most sought after here is red ginger, but all supplies are so limited that we cannot buy as we want.

correct , we don't worry about the money but we worry because we cannot buy what we want,. By the way, the red ginger is the natural home remedy for this Virus?

I pity the family , the less fortunate people who don't have enough money to buy goods .. I cannot imagine the worries they have .
