Are there shortages of products in your area? Stuff like face masks, gloves, long-term food storage items, etc.? I've seen videos and news stories of this starting to occur in the US, like in other countries. I looked in a couple stores I've been in to see if there were face mask. One was a hardware store in another city (Menard's) and the other was the local Walmart. Had heard about Walmart, so just looked while there to see if they had re-stocked. Nothing there. Was in the paint section of Menard's and that's where the face mask and respirators are, shelves completely empty. Huge empty section in the isle. Was odd. Even the dust mask were gone. I didn't look to see if other items were also out-of-stock or in low supply. I haven't heard of anyone in my area expressing any real concern about the virus (unless it's the liberal virus that's infected America). My wife thinks people bought all the mask up and sold them on Ebay. Just got me curious as to what may be happening in other areas of the country.

Over heard a guy at lowes asking an employee for dust masks they are out.
Talking with my cousin morning in San Diego yesterday while she was at costco, they were out of water and barely had paper goods. She said it was chaotic just like shopping during the holidays

Dollar General was all stocked up, and they had the isles full of new products waiting to get on the shelves.

Heard some companies are limiting how many mask they will sell you. I believe Kroger was one.

Things look normal here in small town Midwest . Not sure what good TP and bottled water is with the flu. I'm more concerned with gas prices going into this fabricated mass panic.

How many times have we heard face masks or dust masks will do no good. I'm going to the store shortly for coffee if they are out of it I'll know there is a problem.

My wife provides some at-home services for elderly patients. Several are on oxygen, and she wears a mask as a precaution, even before corona. She's the one who mentioned the mask to me. She picked some up at Walmart about a month ago. She mentioned then that there was only one package left on the shelf, and she had gotten a harsh look from another woman who came up just as she picked it up. I thought nothing of it at the time. The mask my wife uses aren't even the supposed "right ones" for the virus. Why those are gone is just evidence of the panicky mood that seems to be more contagious than the virus. Anyways, she looked on-line to see if she's gonna have to order some in the future. Sure enough, you can get them directly from China. Shipping is delayed though...one thing after. laugh

Tried to buy some freeze dried meals for a float trip in AK next August. Most all of that is sold out from several suppliers.
