(Natural News) Looking at the increasing number of reports this past week of people who are flocking — mobbing, really — big box wholesale stores to stock up on food and supplies ahead of a potential outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus, it reminds of the old adage: Some things never change.

Videos taken of mob scenes at a Costco in Brooklyn posted to social media and published by Zero Hedge remind us why we’re all “preppers” around here: Because things like the coronavirus happen. And they almost always happen without any prior warning, which is why people should be prepared for these kinds of things anyway, rather than wait for them to happen and then quite possibly risk your life to obtain enough food, water and provisions to ride out the storm, so to speak.

Costco.
In Brooklyn.
8:58 this morning.
It opens at 9.
As if the damn apocalypse will be upon us by this afternoon.
