You hit the nail on the head. I stocked up on ammo-especially .22 shells- after the last shortage, when there was an ample supply available. I'm not as far ahead as you on food, but do have two weeks worth of canned goods over and above what I keep n hand for daily use, plus the two freezers full of meat and vegetables.

Costco yesterday, Brighton Mi.: 1 hour wait in line to buy frozen meals, dog food, Ensure, peanut butter, milk, and bread. Woman in line ahead of me had only 1 item: a makeup kit !
BTW: I have plenty of winshield washer fluid on hand. 70% alcohol. Spray bottle. Wash my hands and face with it, even after fueling the cars.

Yes, things in USA will very likely be worse before getting better. Whether or not "worse" means a total lockdown like France, Spain & Italy, only time will tell.

Same we don't hoard but if being self reliant is hoarding then so be it. We have close to 6 months worth of supplies. Maybe a touch less. Only thing we lack is vegetables so that is my goal this test with our garden.

People who have stocked up over time like myself and others have denied no one the ability to get theirs. The store simply restocks at a given point of stock depletion.
That being said there are selfish idiots that think nothing of grabbing all they can even if its not needed, during times of shortages.
The grocery hoarding will come to an end soon, as most people have no way to store the perishables. Found out tonight that my BIL bought $600 worth of groceries due to the crisis. This man has one refrigerator and no freezer just like a lot of people. Once the mold and spoilage starts reality will set in.

Just read Walmart will be cutting it's hours at their 24 hour stores starting Monday to close them from 11:00pm to 6:00am to allow their employees time to restock at clean.

UH... you don't want to do that.. WW fluid has Methanol commonly known as Methyl Alcohol. It is poisonous to humans. And it is not just poisonous by ingestion. It sinks right into your skin. You don't want much skin contact if you can prevent it.
