You hoard it, you own it.

Glad to see that policy!

How sad a people we are.

to answer the hoarding queiston, I bough two containers of Grape Jelly yesterday.

My dumb add on to your comment.

We did the "Order your groceries on line and pick them up at the store" yesterday.
I went to the store around lunch time to pick them up.
They were busy and it took 30 or so minuets for them to bring them out.
No problem, was a very nice day, sun was shining so I opened the tailgate to the SUV and sat on the bumper soaking up sun while I was waiting.
Had the usual small talk with most people who walked by. "Hi, yes its a nice day, etc"
Then out comes the yuppy/millennial late 20's something in her yoga pants, sweatshirt, hair in a tight bun, scowl on her face. Now keep in mind I had not moved more that a foot in the last 10 min or so. She walks by me, going from the store to her SUV, and as she passes me she makes eye contact and says, with attitude, "Keep Your Social Distance!".
I had not said/tried to say a word to her, hadn't moved, she walked by me and I needed to keep my social distance.
More than happy to keep my social distance from here. I would say that was about a mile or so...

Get your refund :) if you overpaid for TP.

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc has started asking customers to cooperate with a Department of Justice criminal investigation of third-party sellers on its e-commerce marketplace, according to an email seen by Reuters.

The company is informing customers, who may have purchased products from such sellers, according to the email sent by Joell Parks, a senior law enforcement response specialist at Amazon.

On Wednesday, four lawmakers, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and David Cicilline, antitrust subcommittee chairman, sent a letter to the Justice Department asking the agency to investigate the matter.

Earlier this month, the company said it is working with state attorneys general to identify and prosecute such third-party sellers and has restricted the type of merchants who can sell health and sanitation items on its website.

I still think that some of the buying is totally reasonable. If I went to the store right now, I'd make sure it is enough for 2 weeks of daily life, so I don't have to go again soon and reduce my possible exposure to the virus. My cart sure would look like a panic buy. I don't think it makes sense to lock down but then hunt for TP across 8 different stores.

At my house most everything is made from scratch, we shop at Costco and we hunt and fish, so we always had a lot of bulk food available, even before the virus. We will likely run out of TP but there are plenty of wash cloths in the vanity and plenty of washing detergent ...

Hundreds of thousands of hoarded medical supplies, including 192,000 N95 respirator masks, are being sent to coronavirus hot spots New York and New Jersey, the departments of Justice and Human and Health Services announced Thursday.

The FBI located the supplies on March 30, as part of its work under the department’s Covid-19 hoarding and price gouging task force, which was announced last week. HHS was then alerted and activated the Defense Production Act to seize the supplies and put them under U.S. government control.

Along with the N95 respirator masks, the FBI also discovered 598,000 medical gloves, 130,000 surgical masks and other supplies like gowns, disinfectant towels, hand sanitizers and disinfectant sprays, materials the Justice Department said are being distributed to states.

"If you are amassing critical medical equipment for the purpose of selling it at exorbitant prices, you can expect a knock at your door," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement. "The Department of Justice's COVID-19 Hoarding and Price Gouging Task Force is working tirelessly around the clock with all our law enforcement partners to ensure that bad actors cannot illicitly profit from the COVID-19 pandemic facing our nation."
