Should I start to get worried?

About the virus? No
About your fathers purchasing habits? Yes

Having 4 weeks of food and water on hand is actually a good idea. FEMA recommends having at least 2 weeks worth of supplies on hand.
I'm finished with this forum and the constant goddamn groupthink, virtue signalling, and woke scolding. I thank Max for the good times I've spent here but I just don't fit anymore. Peace.

It's a bit of an issue if you've nowhere to store 4 weeks of food though.

It's not literally insane. 4 years of food, on the other hand.

It might delay production if wherever her yacht is being built gets hit, or if it's second hand if wherever it's coming from gets hit.

Takes a medium sized cardboard box and one of those huge plastic water containers you see in offices.

We recently just got some canned foods, even though we rarely eat anything from a can.

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

Most people do have the space. They just don't prioritize preparedness.

Anyone feeling like the Mayans were off by 8 years?

This is starting to feel like the first 20 minutes of a 90's disaster movie.

Either entire countries are overreacting and these quarantines are bullshit, or we're in danger.

It is not really either. The quarantines are important for making sure things to not get even more out of hand but in places such as the US there is a quite a bit of unnecessary panic.
