That was the joke that I made. You only need two things during a pandemic, food and a shotgun to protect both it and yourself.
All joking aside, that's america for you. At the first sign of a breakdown in society everyone arms themselves. I would not be surprised if Martial Law is declared in the US before this is all over.
Martial law under the current prez is particularly disturbing a combination - and this is under the context of a highly polarized US with a deficit of social cohesion.

Despite these travel advisories, some people are taking advantage of cheap flights and travel packages amid the outbreak.
Julie Jackson booked a trip three weeks ago to celebrate her daughter’s high school graduation. She said they saved about $400 each for their flights to California in July.
“I would definitely have fear if I was going to Europe, the U.K. or Australia,” said Jackson, who lives in Vaughn, Ont.
“But to the U.S., I’m not too fearful.”
Yes, I have seen people talking about this on my social media channels, and gloating about the great prices. @Admiral Beez , did you ever book that cruise?From CTV News:

Many restaurants will go under quickly in Toronto. We all know a lot are vanity projects that barely make money in the first place, if not operate at loss.
If you have a real local restaurant run by a local chef, a great way to support it is to go in and ask for a $100 gift certificate. That gives them the cash right now when they need it and you can get the meal with friends when this is all over.
On the other hand, it is questionable as to whether anyone will/should buy a gift certificate from a restaurant that may not survive. Government needs to play the key role of supporting the staff and perhaps freeze business expense for the duration of this crisis.
