I don't know if the media is 100% at fault for getting people to panic, but all I know is when I did my usual stop at the grocery store Friday after work 99.999% of the milk was gone. I ended up buying the 2nd to last gallon of organic milk available. All the other gallon of milk types were picked clean and the store manager said they would get another shipment on Saturday. I actually stood starring at the empty milk shelves for 5 minutes shaking my head and thinking in the back of my mind WTF people? We are in Pennsylvania about an hour west of Philadelphia. This isn't the Jersey shore or any other parts of the eastern coast.
