I'm not a prepper or anything, but if I needed to survive without power or water for 3 days, it wouldn't be a problem at all. Do people not keep a stacked pantry with basic stuff and some bottled water in the house?
I went to the supermarket during that first COVID week but didn’t need to. We had a chest freezer in the garage on top of the well stocked main fridge/freezer. Still, there was a sense that it could be more than a week or two where everything shuts down. Everybody in gloves and masks. But supermarkets were regularly running with some restrictions. Being a weeaboo, all the toilets already had bidets so no TP panic.
