I would strongly suggest stocking up on disinfectant, alcohol, toilet paper, or what ever you're short on now before the panic buying starts.
so panic buy now, to avoid the panic buying of other people.
Isn't that just panic buying ?
Surely if nobody stocked up, stocks would remain at noirmal levels and everybody would have access to everything.
Yeah, as far as omicron goes it appears to not be as bad as they first 'thought' - although I'm not sure any actual thought was involved beyond the 'headless chicken' variety.
Announcing the next doomsday variant, when you have a half dozen sigtings in the wild and exactly zero statistics, seemed a bit premature, to say the least.
