This is zero Buchanan, your host for guns and politics.

Last night, the governor of Oklahoma, this state I live in, announced that Oklahoma had its first Corona virus covert 19 Patient.

That patient is here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I live.

I wanted to do a short video on what the reactions of the local population will be to this announcement.

My wife and I are going out to the local Costco to pick up a prescription and get some pet food.

And a couple of other items will probably also be stopping by the local WalMart neighborhood market.

And I'm just going to document a bit as to what happens to a city like Tulsa, which has a population of around 3/4 of a 1,000,000 people in the metropolitan area.

What happens here after an announcement of the Corona virus?

At this point, I don't expect to really see too much.

Maybe maybe a little water gone off the shelves and what not?

The announcement was made last night, so it's only really hit Lee Morning news here.

Just today is Saturday, March 7th.

It's about 12 30 in the afternoon, and we're about to head off to the local Costco.

So here we are in a local super Walmart about to go in.

It's about 1 p.m. On Saturday afternoon.

This is kind of the first somewhat shortage of sane rice, which is a popular stable.

Those shelves air normally full.

It's not severely low, but there it is.

First evidence of stuff disappearing off the shelves.

This is the toilet paper section, large gaps in the supply for the paper here.

Normally, this stuff is kept stocked right to the ground.

Looks like water is going fast on.

Looks like the shelves are just about cleaned out of bleach.

We're leaving Wal Mart right now on our way to Costco.

There were some noticeable shortages of some stuff, things like bleach and a a shortage of toilet paper.

I overheard one of the patrons in There's mentioning, Get your toilet paper here.

They're completely out of Costco.

Well, we're on our way to Costco, so I'll verify that there was a slight shortage of water bottles and it's about 1 45 in the afternoon here.

So we just pulled in the parking lot at Costco.

We're actually in kind of some overflow parking out here and and this section is normally empty.

So in that section over there, you can normally find parking fairly easily.

But it's pretty full right now, so it's about two o'clock now on.

We're about to hit on end to Costco.

So we just walked in the door at the Costco Way, have a lady with a sign at the front saying they're limiting purchases, toilet paper, rice and a few other things to two per customer.

Interesting.

Just walking through the store here, I notice quite a few more customers than a normal who have a couple of cases of water bottles in their baskets.

Lady right in front of me has one.

Interesting.

We had heard the Costco was not going to have their normal little kiosks set up where they have hand out food samples, and I can verify that they don't have those store here today.

Normally they have quite a few of them around the floor.

Here we are in the back row of Costco, and they have stack after stack after stack of water bottles.

This is many times what they normally have in store, and even at this I would estimate that it won't last all that long because, as you can see here, almost every other person coming out of the store has a least one or two cases of water.

Normally, Costco has a long road of toilet paper right in here.

There is not a single a bag of toilet paper to be had.

So here we are at our local neighborhood.

Walmart seems just a little more crowded than normal, but nothing way out of the ordinary.

So park.

So the neighborhood WalMart ISS sold out of all of the big name brands of toilet paper, but they still do have about half their normal stock toilet paper on Michelle's.

I came in here to get some hand sanitizer, and that is all gone.

So we're back home now.

Um, it's about 3 10 in the afternoon.

The news hit Oklahoma.

Like I said last night, I first saw it online about midnight.

Ah, a lot of people in town probably don't even know what's going on.

Um, in general, what I found was that Costco, Walmart and the neighborhood Walmart toilet paper was at a premium.

The local Costco was completely out.

Ah, and the Wal Marts just had maybe 1/4 of their normal stock.

And it was the chief, the cheapest and the most expensive stuff.

All of the name brand stuff is all gone.

Bottled water was, uh, going out.

Every other card had a case or two of bottled water in it.

Um, most of the other stuff.

There was plenty of stuff on the shelves.

Aside from a few of the basics, bleach was selling out fast.

Like I said, toilet paper is at a premium.

As I was leaving the neighborhood, Walmart a mother was leaving with some kids and she had a shopping cart piled to the brim with toilet paper.

And I stopped in at the neighborhood market just trying to find a little bottle of hand sanitizer, and they were completely out of hand sanitizer.

So and a lot of people still haven't even heard what's going on.

Um, the crowds that stores were noticeably bigger than normal.

Uh, it wasn't a mob or anything.

They were.

Business was brisk, and the crowds were bigger than normal.

Um, but, uh, so far, everything but the basics like that.

There's still plenty of stuff on the shelves normal stock.

It's just just Thea stuff like water and toilet paper and stuff that is so far.

And bleach.

Uh uh.

Selling out quickly when the six o'clock news comes on Tonight, I would be interested to know what happens.

That the look of Walmarts and stuff.

Seven or eight o'clock this evening.

So that's it for now.

Goodbye and good luck.
