OBSERVATION: The Corona Great Supermarket Raid of 2020
This post has photos taken at the Groton MA Shaw's Supermarket on March 13, 2020... which was, incidentally, Friday the 13th. This was a bit after the Corona Virus everyone really started to make people panic and raid supermarkets for staples like toilet paper, tissues, milk, bread, eggs, etc.
Here in Massachusetts, this is what you get when a major snow storm (aka: Nor'eastaaaah) is on the way. And people who panic and clear the shelves often are teased, as the odds of being "off the grid" in this part of the country for any length of time is slim (with the possible exception of the coastline).
I myself had never witnessed the Snowmageddon supermarket phenomena, so seeing all the shelves empty thanks to Covid-19 was rather novel.
Now, about three weeks later, there are so many daily updates and changes to policy it is impossible to share any of it here. History will tell just what happened.
NOTE: Please excuse the photo quality... my cell phone takes crappy pics!
