COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

So every day on the news for the last week or so, one of their main headlines has been the food shortages. When I went to the store today, I didn't see much evidence of it. Plenty of meat available. Plenty of everything, really (except Lysol spray and Clorox wipes). Am I just fortunate to live in an area that hasn't been hit by this yet or is the media hyping this way too much?
A lot depends on where you live, and where your area sources meat from. There is a lot of frozen meat in storage, less in some areas. Wendy’s because they use fresh not frozen is having some sourcing issues in the north east where ranching and slaughter houses aren’t in great number. Also, at least in the case of 5 Guys and In and Out they generally contract with local slaughterhouses for fresh meat, do a local disturbance will affect them more. I dunno how Wendy’s sources their meat.

Then, of course you had the fools panic buying which screws things up too. But in the end, it shouldn’t really be an issue. If you still need your burger you can always go to Burger King or McDonalds. Or you can skip the meat and go to Taco Bell.
