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.

Just order some face masks from Amazon. Shipped from China in a couple days. 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.
