I'm not scared of COVID-19, I am concerned, but not scared.
However, I am terrified of panicked masses hoarding supplies. Take what you need but nothing more. #PanicBuying leaves the elderly and immunocompromised even more at risk. All actions have consequences. Choose wisely. pic.twitter.com/jqrHtvC3K6

This is why I was saying last month to stock up ASAP.

Hopefully, our supply chain holds.
