It will be inevitable that you’ll have to go to the grocery store. I am sure you’ve experienced the same issues as me. There are no frozen vegetables, no potatoes, no paper goods. (Eeeeek!) It seems trips to the store will be the only occasion that I will leave the house.
Please be careful. Don’t hoard anything. Be kind and thoughtful

Urban areas are different from suburban areas and beyond.
In this locale food of all kinds is abundant. Paper goods are available but rationed.
When the media televises a coronavirus talk by Cuomo or DeBlasio or the mayor of Chicago or Los Angeles that information is worthless to the vast majority of Americans who live hundreds of miles away from large urban centers.
To date the collective media has failed miserably in its job to report the news, even international news, in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
FOX, CNN and MSNBC are the worst offenders when it comes to fearmongering.
Zsuzs shoveled the snow from behind our car so we could drive to town Friday and buy groceries, and boy howdy it looked like the pillagers had beat us to the food.
But really, we got everything we went out for, it just took three stores to find it all. I I made sure to thank all of the grocery store employees for coming to work during the apocalypse so I could buy Cheez-Its and strawberry soda.
Coming out of the third store with the last of our items, we heard a woman checking out burst into tears and say “Oh my god, I’ve lost my card” three or four times before the cashier told her not to worry about it, they had her covered.
Maybe we will survive this.
Some Targets and Walmarts have take-out. You get a bunch of stuff and pay for it on the internet, then you can drive up and they’ll bring it to you car. Same price, less milling around other people. Bring a mask and spray everything down with a bleach solution when you get it home. 1 tsp bleach to 1 cup water. Wait fifteen minutes then wipe down with a tea towel and bring it into the house.
