Unless my Governor extends the lockdown, my state is set to open up at the end of the week.
I fear that this will lead to an explosion of new cases in my otherwise nearly untouched state...and that the same thing will happen across the country as things open up.
I have been bugged in since march 24th.....and rather than the threat going away when the state opens up, I think it will become a lot more dangerous, and a lot harder to get stuff, at least at first.
Therefor I'm planning a big shopping trip tomorrow, in full PPE of course, rather than waiting for the lockdown to lift, I think now is the time to top off anything or increase preps as this may get much much worse soon and much more dangerous as all the loonies rush into the streets to 'celebrate' being 'freed' from the lockdown.
'Food' wise I don't need anything....but I don't know how long this will last so I want to take this chance to top off while its still relatively safe to do so, even if its only replacing what I used up over the past month, at some point that months worth of food may be needed at the other end so I'm going to replace it now while I can.
You may want to consider the same thing if your state is close to opening up, rather than waiting. Make sure you have enough to last until the second lockdown comes and it becomes safer to go out again. When things open up it won't mean its safe....it will mean maximum danger, maximum need to shelter, maximum level of crazy desperate people out and about.
