To my knowledge, they're shortening open hours on stores so they can recover and restock and clean. Or would you rather they do that when they're being overrun by chicken littles grabbing everything in sight? I saw pictures from my local grocery today and there is literally no food to be had. Nothing. No fresh. No produce. No meat. Nothing. I guess I have what I have...hopefully there isn't anybody out there who is hungry because they aren't getting jack squat at the grocery store. It's ridiculous and this whole thing shows just how much we only care about ourselves and screw everybody else.
I have some shipments coming in from Amazon Prime on completely rando stuff...fish tank supplies actually...and I got a late shipping notification. I didn't freak out and I think it's common courtesy not to expect immediate response on stuff. But I'm sure you and I will be in the minority there and that's really sad.
Most people didn't.
...used to have a hand operated pasta maker.. The kitchen here is incredibly small almost seeming an afterthought with just enough space between the stove and sink to walk through from the front door to the main room. I actually gave away my pasta maker (which was hand operated) a nice old mixmaster with several tools, several large stainless steel stockpots, a wad of flatware, a nice set of stoneware plates, cups, and bowls (place is too small to entertain guests), as well as other assorted kitchen items as I just don't have the room to store it all. Not about to do food prep in the carpeted area ad that's just an accident and expense (to have the carpet steam cleaned) waiting to happen. I don't even have a dining table, let alone much room for one, and have to eat at one of my desks.
Before I moved in here, I was on a wait lists for a low income flat, at the time "squatting" in a house which the owners defaulted on where I rented a room. When I got the call that this flat was available and a reasonable price, I immediately jumped on it. Given that low income housing where I am is at a critical shortage, It was a "beggars shouldn't be choosers" situation. I'm just glad I have a place to call home instead of a tent under a bridge or a bedroll in a doorway.
....oh there are a few brands out there:some that would make you think you are a member of the admiralty.

Ah, rubbing alcohol.
While poking around in the cabinet under my bathroom sink I discovered no less than three 16 ounce bottles of isopropyl alcohol (two 70% and one 90%). And I discovered two very large bottles of Listerine (regular and mint), and four full spray cans of Lysol disinfectant. I apparently remember that I need to have those things around the house but they get lost in the cabinet and I forget that I have them so they just keep accumulating year after year. Also found a box of medicinal alcohol wipes, and about 5 packages of Band-Aids, twenty bars of soap, two giant refill bottles of foaming disinfectant soap, two dead roaches and a filthy toothbrush used for cleaning god knows what some time in the long forgotten past. The list of other things in that black hole of supplies is too long to repeat here and of little significance to the current emergency.
But I am in the habit of keeping a goodly supply of toilet paper and as this emergency unfolded I took stock and discovered that I have 7 rolls. I live alone so that is enough to last a good many weeks, but our local tiny town grocery store is well stocked for now anyway. Well, at least until the city folk discover us.
I also just a week or so ago, bought a big bottle of generic Purell type stuff (they were out of real Purell) and I have two or three little bottles scattered around the house. All I need now is a space suit and air tanks.
But despite all this panic, I was invited to Sunday lunch at the church and despite not being a church person I felt the need to accept the invitation. Food was great and I didn't see anybody sneezing or dripping into the food. I was careful to touch as few things as possible, not touch my face, and I scrubbed my hands as soon as I got home. So, that's over with. Now, the big risk is tomorrow when I have to go into the city to do my laundry at a public laundromat, go to the big grocery store near the laundromat, and ride an Uber back to home. Thankfully, my brother has volunteered to drive me to the city in the morning so that I don't have to take the petri dish (er..., bus). And if schedule works out he may be able to take me back home again too.
Update:
The Man With 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer Just Donated Them
Just in time
That's spray can gold. It's hard to find both the spray and the disinfect wipes.
Well, well. This seems to be one time that having a disability that almost precludes leaving home is an advantage - as long as I keep my wife and daughter virus free. Most days I don't even talk to anyone outside of my immediate family let alone get within 6 feet of them.
Welp, everything just closed in LA County. Movies, bars, restaurants (except for takeout), gyms, everything except grocery stores and drug stores...
This is so surreal. Feels like a weird dream.
They didn't mention Cannabis stores. But many deliver and will be doing incredible business especially for edibles for those who don't want to risk smoking...
Disney+ released a bunch new movies this weekend . Frozen2, the black panther, animated clone wars the series,etc
you can always bleach with pool chlorine,
just don't clean the dirt in container out with a discarded rag soaked in brake fluid like I did our pool dispenser once, blew the liid several houses away!
I had to take someone to the "red zone" of an emergency room about 2 weeks ago. I was there for 8 hours and lots of people coughing with masks on, at least 2 cases of corona there from what I could gather. One was a military guy that was in Japan recently, the other I'm not sure, but they were in bad shape. I heard all this while i was sitting right by the station where all the doctors and nurses were so I overheard all the small talk. One nurse kind of jokingly said something like, "none of this matters we'll all start dropping dead in April".... the general feel I got was that we're pretty Fd, especially if you get the virus later, becuase they have these special machines called Ectos or something like that, they bascially oxygenate the blood in the lungs, these aren't respirators, they are more advanced and most hospitals don't have very many of them, because they are so specialized. So you will be lucky to able to be transported to a hospital that has the equipment if you get sick when all the machines are already in use. I've been following this since it began, so we've been prepped for a while, but now I have to wait and see if I picked it up while there.
Probably ECMO
My experience in Australia, no I am not raping supermarkets for paper products, in the past, was going into a thunderbox, a large hole covered by a very small wooden shack, with a wooden plank with a hole in it. The "toilet paper was the newspaper cut into squares hanging from a nail driven into an upright. It was always very aromatic and nicknamed the long drop toilet!
I am now retired but my last job for the 15 years before I retired was in the UK Contract Services Industry. The biggest section of Contract Services Is Contract Cleaning. I somehow think they have a place on the worst job list.
I am watching classic comedies on Amazon Prime.
So far, The Court Jester, The Inspector General, and Support Your Local Sheriff.
India is really doing well? Even media is surprised by the numbers for headlines. Time will tell.

...well it's a great time for intermittent fasting
I will have to check to see if Specs carries the Blackwoods Gin as at 60% it will double as hand sanitizer if I run out of rubbing alcohor and Everclear is not to be found.
I see you discovered inprovised munitions. Makes the wife really really mad when I pop off about the "improvised munitions" isle (detergent and cleaning products isle) wjhen we are grocery shopping. The military taught me all kinds of neat things before I blew a knee in basic that made me 4F. DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME. If you want to learn about improvised munitions, join the military.
Been there, dnone that. The Holley place, (neighbors of my grand parrents) still had an outhouse and I used it many times when we were visiting when I was young and even with sprinkling lime of the "refuse", it still had a unique smell conpared to the normal barnyard, milk barn, and stable smells. Human fertilizer smells much worse than animal fertilizer. Also done the hand dug latrine when camping and most of the parks around our local lakes are just very large outhouses (using a large cistern to catch the byproducts),
Check out "Support Your Local Gunfighter" also woth James Garner and Jack Elam. I'm getting eready to binge watch the 4th season of The Expanse, between news reports.
A trio of John Wayne movies - in this order; Rio Lobo, Rio Bravo, and El Dorado.Three versions of the same story, from drama to two levels of comedy. Also, check out the westerns with Terrence Hill - They Call Me Trinity, Trinity Is Still My Name, and A Man Called Nobody - spaghetti western comedies.A Man Called Nobody is a two-hour lead up to the most atrocious pun I've seen in a movie.
People were hoarding big time here (Denmark) the first day when they shut the country down, but then the government said on TV that there was no need for that, there were supplies enough in stock for everyone for a long time. So people calmed down and everything seems normal in the stores now. Was shopping saturday in the local supermarket, and they actually seemed to have more on the shelves than they use to. Still, if you are going into isolation, which is probably always a good thing in this situation whatever your reasons are, you need to stock up so you have the things you need. So you don't always know why people are doing it, they may have a good reason for it.
I just ordered 100 kg organic grains for bread from a farmer, but that was just a coincidence, was going to anyway - use to buy stuff that will keep in large quantities, and have done so for many years. It's often things that still are hard to find in supermarkets here like whole grain wheat and spelt for home grinding and things like that, or they do have it but in tiny packages which are way overpriced. You save a good deal by buying directly from farmers or wholesalers even though farmers here these days are raising the prices considerably when selling directly to the public, but I'm fine with that for they are working hard and don't get paid much by the resellers (sometimes as little as 1/10 of the prices their products are being sold for in the supermarkets) plus it's a risky business being dependent on how the weather behaves, especially these days where it's going totally crazy.
It is really important at the current environment. 100kg is looks like little bit less than required? However panic buy is not recommended it will not good for other people.
I thought of eating all the time, but I think that me fat. Probably intermittent fasting is a good idea. Anyway it is not good to sleep eat in the first place.
And another thing!

Probably should not be using iPad and eating an early lunch at same time. Also I need to keep my pb&j covered hands from my face. Another reason not to use the iPad while eating a pb&j sandwich.
Something to think about, nearly everyone uses cell phones and the virus can live on surfaces for several days, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Gulp!
I have a American Girl doll who needs to visit the doll hospital but I am waiting a month to do so for two reasons, one the virus can get the doll "sick" (aka virus gets on her and gets into me) and also if this is what I really want.
