In the first presidential “debate” (I use that word creatively), Joe Biden hinted that he would order a national lockdown in order to “defeat” the covid-19 virus, and there certainly seems to be a consensus in the media and among political elites that if there is another “outbreak” of covid, then the “shelter in place” order will be the law of the land.
Many businesses certainly are making plans for such an order, this time not wanting to be caught unprepared as they were last March:
Grocery stores and food companies are preparing for a possible surge in sales amid a new rise in Covid-19 cases and the impending holiday rush.One hardly can blame business owners and managers for wanting to be ahead of the curve, as progressive governments at all levels have been merciless to businesses and employees, driving thousands of firms into bankruptcy and leaving millions of people unemployed. Furthermore, given the overt hostility that progressives have toward private enterprise in the first place, politicians will take shortages and empty shelves as “proof” that private enterprise is in league with the devil to subvert the social order and act accordingly to punish these miscreants.
Supermarkets are stockpiling groceries and storing them early to prepare for the fall and winter months, when some health experts warn the country could see another widespread outbreak of virus cases and new restrictions. Food companies are accelerating production of their most popular items, and leaders across the industry are saying they won't be caught unprepared in the face of another pandemic surge.
With Biden well ahead in the presidential polls and with it becoming increasingly likely that he will win the election next month, people should take seriously his calls for another series of lockdowns next winter should the coronavirus spread (in his words).

OK. This Canadian is worried. Do you REALLY believe Biden will win? Will the cheating be successful? Is Trump really in danger here?
My bubble just got popped.
The Socialist Media are liars, we know it, they know it, yet they lie, still.
A lack of Trump signs in the yard speaks only to holding ones cards close.
If Biden was to win and order a lockdown it wouldn't be until Jan 20. What big holiday is there that folks would be buying extra food for. IN the USA, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years will be in the rear view and looking ahead there is Valentines and that is mostly an eat-out event.
Most grocery stores no longer have a large storage space for extra food, so any excess will be at the distribution centers.
