How do you see prepping developing?

[Steve]

I'd like to see everyone prepping, it would be better if we could all ride out a storm for a while. Unfortunately it won't happen, there was a feature on the radio yesterday about how people are borrowing money to buy petrol, in this situation buying bottled water or a sack of rice won't be at the top of peoples list.

It's already too late for many people to stock up, and many others are eagerly swallowing the line about the "green shoots of recovery". I think they are in what shrinks call "Denial", like a kid closing his eyes and hoping the scary things will go away.
