Food and water is everywhere. They will not run out unless this thing lasts another week.
If some people run out, others will have extra. Of this I am 100% sure.
70k ppl consume a vast quantity of food and water every hour. Once stuff runs out things get dicey very fast. Yes another week would almost surely lead to that eventuality - but when is the tipping point exactly? Hard to know.
Food ppl can manage without for a couple of days, but water is a different matter. Many camps may be relying on regular top ups of their water cube, and camp mates may not bring reserves because of the camp provided water. If water cannot get into BRC then you have a simple maths problem - water on playa / ppl on playa = time.
How?
Because of all the rain!
Seriously I hope the media will stop preaching in one direction. Today they try to demonstrate GW, but miserably fail at it, since they’re commenting weather and not climate. They’re doing more damage than they solve.
