There is no reason why anyone should run out of food. There is plenty to go around and nothing has happened to interrupt the supply. The problem is panic buying. People are freaking out for no reason. Some like to blame the media but it's not the fault of the media, it's stupid people being stupid.

Our local schools are giving out food to families already. Families that don't have breakfast and lunch for their kids in the budget and rely on the schools to feed them. Schools will likely be out for the year and those parents might not have a job. Shelter in place until the summer might work for you and your food supply, but not for them.
I'm not rich, I live on social security and more than half of that is taken by rent and utilities.
I think the vast majority of the panic buying (so far, at least) is just that, panic. If people run out of money on a large scale that would be a different set of circumstances than what we have now.

Tennessee might be closing it’s boarders soon? My Fo lives in nashville and is worried he may not be able to get home. I havnt heard this anywhere else though.
Canada must really not want velo back if there working with the tennessee state govt.

We had a small group of 8 riders, we separated into 2 groups and kept decent social distance within the 2 groups.
I expect there will be further restrictions soon like Heathpack mentioned for LA. In that case I will be doing solo and/or Zwift rides for awhile.

I'm sure that datlas can appreciate the "i" in "Shimano."
Kind of makes me glad that all of the cranks on all of my bikes are forged or at least one piece. I don't know if the Sun XCD cranks on my Trek are machined or forged.

I've got to say, I know it's a meme account but all of their posts showing separated Shimano cranks are pretty scary.

Just bumped my 401k contribution rate. Might as well pile it in while things are devalued. Worked last time around.

No worries, I’ll just bake some bread, we’re out.
Ok look at that, I’m low on yeast. Better order some more.
Things you cannot buy right now through King Arthur Flour Company nor through Amazon: flour or yeast!

Principal of my kid's school sent out a cool graphic about focusing on what you can control. My wife is doing a high intensity workout on the Peloton.

It's been harder on my wife, who's also been at home with child. You run out of things to do. You read too much internets and watch the news and soon the zombies are coming.

Home exercise equipment sales had to have spiked. I'm tempted to dust off the rollers. It would be fun to use this time to get good at them.
