I was thinking exactly the same thing. Here in Kaysville/ Farmington, we make up nearly 3/4 of the population.
I’ll admit, I was feeling some of that hunker down prepper fever myself. With all of the craziness in the need of the stock market, NBA and NCAA canceling games, schools etc., Ive been feeling a bit nervous about my emergency food supply. So, I left work a little early today with the intention of hitting Smiths and Sam’s Club for some core basics. On the way home, my wife has asked me to stop and get some prescriptions, then come home and we’d go out shopping together. That s where I caught the full on prepper pneumonia.
i stopped in at Smiths, noticed the parking lot was full at 1:00 on the afternoon. Walking into the store, there were no more carts in the lobby, and there were lines going down one sides of the store to the pharmacy in the corner and then down the drink isle on one side, and down to the produce in the corner on the other.
I texted my wife told her to head to Sam’s Club and get stuff, and that I was going to grab a bunch of stuff and then wait in line for an hour. I grabbed a bunch of frozen meats, canned goods, and dairy, and then jumped into the self checkout line, wether I was in line for 5 min, but spent a good 10 scanning all my food.
When we to Sam’s Club, it was the same. Packed with people, rows of off we’re getting empty, and the lines went half way to the back of the store. ( Thank goodness for their in store shopping cart app - I love that thing. Never have to wait on checkout line. Never appreciated more than today.
Since I still couldn’t find any floor out sugar, went to the Farmington Smiths- Sant story there.
I don’t know if it was like that anywhere else, or if just localized to Utah, northern Utah, or just central Davis County. But it was crazy. Hopefully it will die down. Soon. But I bet at least here, it won’t before the weekend is done.I learn from the mistakes of people who took my advice.

Touche. Very fair question. Because, like so many other areas of my life, it’s one more thing I’ve neglected for far too long.
I’m just grateful I did get in about 2 months of food. And despite my initial estimates when I saw the lines, I only ended up in line for a total of about 30 min today. Less time than I would normally food shopping over 2 months accumulative.I learn from the mistakes of people who took my advice.

This mad dash scramble for emergency supplies is just irrational fear playing out amongst the masses. The thing with fear is that it's just as contagious as the virus itself, perhaps more so.
We'll get through this. It's going to be ok.
It's definitely not a hoax, but it's also not nearly as bad as the media hypes it up to be imo.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.
