Seriously, I guess people are loading up on essentials??? Meanwhile, my family and I are just chugging along in everyday life...paying attention to what's going on...but not acting like this is the plague to end all of civilization
they don't. but everyone has read that TP is selling out thanks to panic buying and nobody wants to be "stranded".
Generally speaking - not even related to this current situation - it is a good idea to have two weeks of non-perishable goods in your house at all time. Disasters to happen from time to time.
If you are quarantined in your house, and run out of booty paper... well, hopefully you have a bidet.
Hopefully it's not as bad this year as your hospital would suggest. I'm just going off historical norms. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season.htm
That may be a good point. I haven't read anything regarding how those who have been asked to self-quarantine are getting their food and TP.
Amazon is your friend, especially now since they own Whole Foods. Other food stores making deliveries...Kroger, Publix, Fresh Market.
That isn't currently an option(besides Amazon) for the folks living in rural areas, for others it may work fine.
Walmart and some others offer curb side pickup. You order and pay for everything online, drive to a pickup location at an appointment time, and they load everything in your car. You wouldn't have to have any contact except unlocking your trunk/hatch.
Much higher probability that the burrito from Taco Bell hospitalizes or kills you than the mexican beer virus.
