I've been watching mostly Japanese news, but hubby had the TV on Fox News tonight when he went to bed. I just saw a big argument on iodine pills on the news. Marghi had already mentioned that there were a couple of local stores sold out of the supplements, but now the news is talking about it.
Really??? I guess I'm just dumbfounded. If you are one of those people, I implore you to just take a step back ... and breathe. The Japanese are a very calm and resilient culture. They are all so passive during this experience. Most apologized to the rescue workers for needing to be rescued. They are patiently standing in lines to get food & water and to have their turn to talk on a phone to call friends/family and relay that they are safe. There are no riots, no looting, no panic and no civil unrest. They don't even have armed police guarding the shelters. Right now is a great time for America and the rest of the world to just take a step back ... observe ... and LEARN! The Japanese are setting an excellent example of how a nation can get more recovery tasks accomplished when those who are involved remain calm. The workers can focus on solving what's already occurred without being distracted with new issues.
PLEASE, just breathe. No one in America is in immediate danger. There's no need for panic and rushing the stores for anything.
Even here on this base I've seen some silly things. I can understand people buying bread, water & flashlights ... but emptying the shelves of all the toilet paper??? Really???
