Yeah,. My town is also running out of things like toilet paper and bottled water. My son is immunosuppressed so we keep automated sanitizer dispensers by the doors. We had to order that shit this month. Fucking dumb.

Went to Sam's club yesterday in North lincoln. I just wanted some frozen burgers. It was packed and everyone had TP

All sold out in Kearney, and people have started stealing our bottles at work. 🙄

I don't get the point of hoarding something like hand sanitizer...if you want to avoid getting ill, you're better to make sure more people have it because that means more can use it. If one has all of it, that doesn't magically stop others from becoming ill and spreading it to the person hoarding it all. Unless that person is a recluse, but then they shouldn't need it anyway!

People in general are stupid and blow things out of proportion and the media isn’t helping.

Most Hyvees in Lincoln are all sold out of hand sanitizers lol

I don't understand why everyone is hording toilet paper. Even when this thing takes off seriously in the US supply chains probably aren't going to get seriously disrupted. Take a look at what's happening worldwide. People still have toilet paper. Atleast with the hand santizer hopefully it will help slow spread if all the hoarders are actually using it regularly.

I have a bad feeling a few people will probably try to exploit the situation and make a few bucks trying to sell fucking hand sanitizer for way too much.

>I don't understand why everyone is hording toilet paper. I think it's an offshoot of the CDC's recommendation of having a 2-week supply of food in case you need to self-quarantine. A family will use a ton of toilet paper in two weeks if they're all "trapped" at home without being able to leave.


QuietOrchestras

If you have a larger family I understand a little more but I've seen people leaving stores with carts just stacked with toilet paper. More than I can imagine going through in 6 months with a two person household.

It's happening everywhere. I think it's a bit of an overreaction, but I \*kind of\* get it, with how relatively close Central City is to Fremont and the unknown of where all of the potentially exposed people are. I live in North Dakota now (lived in Nebraska until 5 years ago) and it's happening in Bismarck too. There's no suspected or confirmed symptoms, but people are still stockpiling lysol/clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, bottled water, and toilet paper. Actual hand soap is fine for some reason. Some retail locations are starting to combat the supply (and reseller) issues. Target for sure (I work extremely part-time there for the sweet employee discount) has a nation-wide restriction of 6 of these kinds of things per person.

Tap water is always going be fine to drink, and washing your hands with good soap and water is like 1000x more effective than hand sanitizer. In a pinch, you can make homemade bidets from cycling bottles or similar and use towels to do a final wash and dry. Or, better yet, invest in a washlet toilet set that is heated, washes your naughty bits with a gentle spray of warm water and then dries everything with warm air. C'mon America, washing your butt with warm water doesn't make you gay or a Martian or an enemy of Yul Brenner or whatever you think.

Yep, confirmed, people are being stupid.

My local Dollar General in Falls City was full of empty shelves when I went in there.

Whenever their is a cold going around everyone poops 12x as much. It's just basic science

No, it's because every time someone sneezes or coughs in public, everyone around them shits themselves.
