When the virus cases are doubling every few days, 7 weeks is a very long time. There was lots of denying going on before and after covid19 hit our shores.

A grocery store threw out $35,��� in food that a woman intentionally coughed on, sparking coronavirus fears, police said - CNN
wow, wonder if the virus fears set this woman over the edge...can you imagine?
crazy people on the loose
btw I read that ammunition sales were up substantially.
Fear starting all the way back to being in a cave and worrying about the bigger animal coming in to eat you. :shocked:
Plus maybe time to replace all that ammo you shot off last month... A trigger to restock? Protect the hearth and home?
All good reasons, just have always enjoyed business marketing and wondering what is good for business other than just
an expanding and productive economy.
Lot of money to be made during a pandemic... there's an
opportunity, and you meet the demand. I hope someday there's a study done on TP hoarding. Folks must have filled up their garage
with it... Paper factories are likely running three shifts as fast as they can.
And the hospitals are full occupancy, like a hotel, and that always generates a lot more income. Many in the medical industry prosper.
On the flip side, poor airlines, they are really taking a hit. Same with cruise lines. Luckily most had made good money in the last few years and we hopefully
won't have bankruptcies again. We've read about the 17 day speck of virus still on a cruise ship, though we don't know if it was viable. So until they figure out how to
truly sterilize a cruise ship, and then test every passenger before they get on board, not sure they will be operating. The cruise ship track record on handling or preventing
viral outbreaks is pretty bad. If the price of cruises go up a little bit, perhaps it's just the cost of a good defense. My wife and I cruised for years and always took a container of wipes with us. She was a hospital RN and together we wiped that whole cabin down. Never got sick in over a dozen cruises. But a lot of other folks did...
downtown retail America is taking a big hit. If you can't deliver, big problems.
You cram too many people or even animals together too close, and usually one gets, all get.
Three cheers for the rural life.

We just got back from picking up some Russet potatoes, diced onions and hashbrowns from a restaurant supplier. They put an ad on FB marketplace.. potatoes (50lb bag) look to be bakers... yum.
They are simply trying to stay in business while their customers are shutdown..
