Even now, weeks into the coronavirus scare, you can see shopper after shopper leaving the grocery store loaded down with carts of bottled water. In gallon-sized bottles and multiple packages of individual-sized bottles.
Why?
Did someone recommend this? Are water works in danger of drying up or being infected by a virus because cities have stopped treating the water with virus- and bacteria-killing chemicals? Are we getting a hurricane in addition to a pandemic?
Are some Americans just stupid? Someone, please explain it.
