endtimeheadlines--2020-11-24--Panic And Desperation Sweep Across America As Fears Of A “Dark Winter” Continue To Rise

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – Do you remember earlier this year when consumers were feverishly hoarding toilet paper and we were seeing colossal lines at food banks all over the nation during the initial stages of the COVID pandemic ?
Well , it is happening again .
Now that the vote on November 3rd is behind us , the pandemic has once again become the primary focus of the mainstream media , and a lot of people are completely freaking out .
Just like earlier this year , store shelves across the country are being emptied because Americans don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home without enough toilet paper and hand sanitizer .
Each new restriction that gets announced adds to the frenzy , and it has gotten to the point where new restrictions are literally being announced around the nation on a daily basis now .
And if the case numbers that we are being given continue to rise , it is inevitable that this new wave of lockdowns will get even tighter .
Over the last several months , Joe Biden has repeatedly told us that we have a “ dark winter ” ahead .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a need for bold action to fight this pandemic , ” Biden said in Delaware .
“ We ’ re still facing a very dark winter.
” Biden , whose campaign against President Donald Trump made the coronavirus the main focus , pledged to “ spare no effort to turn this pandemic around once we ’ re sworn in on Jan. 20.
” Technically , winter doesn ’ t start until a little over a month from now , but the panic shopping has already begun .
In California , supplies of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by fearful consumers… Shoppers in Temecula had already emptied the paper and cleaning aisle in a local Walmart by Wednesday morning .
Other storefronts , such as Trader Joes in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles and Ralphs on West 9th Street , we ’ re simply running low on such supplies .
A worker at a Costco in Los Angeles , who wished to remain anonymous , said the store was selling out of toilet paper every day , among other supplies , but also said that this could be attributed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Similar panic buying appears to be happening over in Spokane , Washington… In a tweet on Sunday afternoon , KREM photojournalist Roger Hatcher said Target in Spokane Valley was “ pretty quiet ” but its toilet paper shelves were bare .
In fact , shortages are being reported all over the nation at this point .
I don ’ t know why there is such a focus on toilet paper .
To me , having enough food to eat for an extended period of time is much more of a priority , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t necessarily think rationally .
And certainly , there is a bit of psychology to all of this .
When people are told that there is a “ shortage ” of something , many of them inevitably feel motivated to run out and buy some too while they still can .
The panic buying has reached such a frenzy that many large chains are once again starting to put purchase limits on certain items .
The following comes from CNN… At Kroger ( KR ) , customers can purchase a maximum of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like bath tissue , paper towels , disinfecting wipes , and hand soap .
Giant , a grocery chain in the Northeast , recently put a limit of one on purchases of larger toilet paper and paper towel sizes and four on smaller toilet paper and paper towel sizes .
H-E-B in Texas has implemented similar policies in recent weeks .
Some H-E-B stores have instituted limits of two on purchases of disinfecting and antibacterial sprays , while other stores have limited toilet paper and paper towels to two .

( CNBC ) – Public health officials and drugmakers must be transparent about the side effects people may experience after getting their first shot of a coronavirus vaccine , doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors as states prepare to distribute doses as early as next month .

As a practicing physician , she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first shot .
“ We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park , ” Fryhofer said during a virtual meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices , or ACIP , an outside group of medical experts that advise the CDC .
She is also a liaison to the committee .
“ They are going to know they had a vaccine .

But they ’ ve got to come back for that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pfizer ’ s coronavirus vaccine trials told CNBC in September that they were experiencing high fever , body aches , bad headaches , daylong exhaustion , and other symptoms after receiving the shots .
While the symptoms were uncomfortable , and at times intense , the participants said they often went away after a day , sometimes sooner , and that it was better than getting Covid-19 .

endtimeheadlines--2020-11-24--Panic buying of toilet paper hits U.S. stores again with new pandemic restrictions

( Reuters ) – Toilet paper aisles are emptying again as COVID-19 curfews and shutdowns in states from California to New York send pandemic-weary shoppers on a new scramble for essentials .
Walmart on Friday said it was “ seeing pockets of lower than normal availability ” for toilet paper and cleaning supplies in some communities as infections rage virtually unchecked across most of the United States .
As of Friday afternoon , 22 states have imposed restrictions aimed at decreasing spread of the virus – giving rise to a new round of panic buying from shoppers and purchase limits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nation ’ s largest supermarket chain .
Shoppers in a half dozen cities around the United States told Reuters that disinfecting wipes were sold out at discount retailers like Walmart and Costco , as well as at Cerberus Capital-owned grocery chains Albertsons and Vons .
“ Walmarts are still mostly out of Lysol wipes , and toilet paper is out again , ” said Whitley Hatcher , 31 , a collections specialist in Tucson , Arizona .
“ Oddly though , at places like Walgreens and Dollar Tree you can find what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeing the empty shelves at bigger stores and panic buying , ” Hatcher said .
At a Costco in Vancouver , Washington – where new rules include temporary bans on indoor dining – out-of-stocks included toilet paper , paper towels , cleaning wipes , gloves , and Spam canned meat .
And the toilet paper hunt is on again in California , where the governor on Thursday ordered a curfew placed on all indoor social gatherings and non-essential activities outside the home across most of the state .

The remarks that John Williams made about hyperinflation during a recent interview with Greg Hunter have created quite an uproar , but the truth is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are on the exact same path that Zimbabwe , Venezuela , and so many others have already gone down , and the very foolish decisions that we have been making are only going to end in complete and utter disaster .

” M1 includes cash and checking deposits , while near money refers to savings deposits , money market securities , mutual funds , and other time deposits .

( ETH ) – Since the time various shutdowns , stay-at-home orders , et cetera , were enacted to “ slow the spread ” of the Wuhan flu , the list of businesses and activities considered “ essential ” has been illogical at best .
In California , marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores have remained open , while gyms and churches have been shut down .
Multiple churches in California have sued over the shutdown order and their “ nonessential ” designation , arguing that shutting down churches violates the First Amendment .
Others have continued to hold indoor services @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Calvary Chapel in Ventura County , led by Pastor Rob McCoy – who stepped down from his post as a member of the Thousand Oaks City Council before defying the health officer ’ s order back in April .

Strip club owners in the state have also challenged the shutdown order in court , saying that their businesses are “ legally protected speech guaranteed by the First Amendment.
” On November 12 , a San Diego Superior Court judge ordered that county to temporarily reopen strip clubs , pending a full hearing at the end of the month , after an initial hearing in a case brought by two strip club owners .
Since being able to provide live adult entertainment is a protected right in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least a few weeks , might churches be able to use this ruling to their advantage ?

Spell drew national attention after he continued to hold services in person at Life Tabernacle Church during the pandemic despite state guidelines.
On Friday, Associate Justice Samuel Alito rejected Spell’s request without comment, Fox News’ Shannon Bream and Bill Mears reported. The justice declined to refer the case for review before the full Supreme Court. Spell faces nine criminal charges, including six misdemeanor counts for “breaking the Governor’s orders,” according to his initial filing.
He was also charged with a felony for his role in an alleged confrontation with protesters. The pastor said “no confrontation ever took place” during the incident that led to his felony charge. Spell was placed under house arrest after he refused to agree to bail terms that called for him to stop preaching at his church.

“The State has shown a shocking and unprecedented commitment to criminally prosecuting its strongest dissenter in violation of one of the First Amendment’s most precious guarantees: the right of a church, which by definition is an assembly, to decide whether to assemble or not,” the filing said. Alito was assigned the case based on his jurisdiction over the 5th Circuit Court (all associate Supreme Court justices have oversight of federal circuit courts). READ MORE

Amazon will .

Banks will .
You won ’ t be able to buy , sell , or trade without the vaccine.

“ If we ’ re discussing how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccinate , I agree , you can ’ t force the population ; it won ’ t work .
We can talk about it until tomorrow , it won ’ t work .
