I know I am in the minority on this but the virus hasn't changed my life at all, except for using hand cleanser after each shop. My hands are much more sanitary than in the past. Turn on the TV and what do you see? - corona virus. Turn on the radio and what do you hear? - corona virus. Talk to your neighbors and what do you hear? - corona virus. Go to the stores and they are of of toilet paper, $.88 pasta (Ronzoni), hand cleanser and most canned goods. Toilet paper! Really? I'm sorry but I consider this as a contrived state of panic and totally overblown and politicized. Take some basic precautions and this too will pass. I know I'll probably get a lot of blow back on this, but it is the way I feel.

On the news yesterday they were talking to a woman and she said "what is it with people and TP and bottled water".

I went to the grocery store after Superstorm Sandy to buy wine since I was almost out. The TP shelves were empty. The bread shelves only had white bread available. Wine was good.
Glad to see you have your priorities right HonnyBrown

I complete hundreds of shopping assignments each month in Colorado and have unfortunately canceled everything for the next two weeks. Public schools, colleges, private schools, universities, all sporting events, large gatherings over 250, parades, no athletic practices, and more closings being announced by the hour across the state. It is a real crisis. I wish all of you good health.

My 17 yo dau works at King Soopers. A week ago a guy came up to her and asked if they had hand sanitizer. She said they were out and he leaned in, coughed in her face, and said, "Don't worry; I'm not sick," as he walked away laughing and coughing. She and I reported this the next day and the manager said that it wasn't assault or intimidation or threatening or violent and that I was in the wrong for going with her to report it.
Today she was at work....everyone who is willing to work is working 10 and 12 hour shifts...and she said that the shelves were basically empty by noon. This is a HUGE store. They are thinking of closing the store down completely and just having the "click list" function....all employees will either do "click list" or will be scrubbing the store from top to bottom.
My husb is a state trooper and they were told to be "visible," but to "only stop egregious matters"

I have a brother that lives in Central California. heard from him last night. He said he went to the store in the morning to buy milk, the store was completely out. He said now apparently people are adding milk to their panic shopping list.
