It's getting pretty nutty around here, too... "here" being Washington state, USA.
People seem to be stocking up to hibernate for a couple of years, so the stores are empty. In two weeks, the people will still have two years' worth of supplies, and the stores will have been at least partially restocked.
I think part of the problem is that so many daily activities people usually turn their attention to — from going to movies, to football, to going out to restaurants and clubs — have all be canceled, so now there's nothing to do other than get yourself worked up into a fever pitch panic.
I'm glad you managed to make it out safely with your porridge!
Hehe, cheers! I was chuffed to get my boy his favourite thing in the world.
Hopefully it lasts till the madness is over or I will have to risk it again.
I have no idea what has gotten into people. I think these are the reactors of society and not the nuclear kind.
Just have to batten down the hatches and wait it out!

Well, I have to venture out among the idiots today... part of the joy of having online businesses is having to go to the Post Office now and then.
I do believe part of the problem we're seeing here has to do with broader humanity having grown less confident in their ability to face and manage hardship.
When I was a little kid, we played in puddles outside, drank straight from the plastic garden hose, rode our bicycles without helmets or pads, ate bugs and weird berries off plants "just because" and a hose of other things... and *we're still alive." Now we think we can barely make it from our front door to our mailbox to check the mail without "protective gear."
THAT is nutty, if you ask me...
I remember drinking from muddy puddles and being really careful because if you were clumsy you stirred the mud up. I don't think modern folksies could handle that kind of stuff! lolz!
It's a nutty world this 21st century!
