The COVID-19 Prediction Review - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 10-28-2020
In the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, Februaryish, we here on Punaweb (and elsewhere) made a lot of guesses about what we would face in the future. I only remember a few, so if you recall more please add to the thread.
The Prediction - mass looting and violence would break out
The Reality - average burglaries and physical abuse continued, perhaps additional domestic violence
The Prediction - the real estate market would collapse, and home values plummet
The Reality - sales slowed for a time, but have recovered, home prices increased
Obviously we’re not through this thing yet, but I think we’re going to make it.

They don't keep many in stock, and I wouldn't count on Amazon to ship in 2 days if the virus starts spreading on the mainland.
I'd say you nailed the mask shortage, and early too!
ETA: and Amazon shipping speeds...
