Speaking as someone who definitely contributed to the stats in this article, it’s because I’m an only-slightly-more-prepared-than-average, lol. I started reading here about two weeks ago when I first started getting nervous about COVID-19, and it’s meant I’ve been about 5-10 days ahead of the panic shoppers in my city. I’m like the last person out of a collapsing temple, only instead of treasure I’m holding onto, like, jars of peanut butter and a fresh box of Mucinex. At any rate, I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge consolidated here! (and for further proof of my newbie status, the first version of this which I appear to have accidentally deleted!)
