MEmama Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Toilet paper aisle, Target, 8 am this morning. A few minutes after surveying this scene and consoling myself that I have plenty, several people loudly and excitedly announced that a Charmin delivery was on its way! The poor guy who rolled his single pallet of toilet paper from the back room was followed by a gaggle of giddy shoppers; he must have felt very popular! I have say though, as surreal as the whole experience of a half empty Target was, everyone was laughing together at the absurdity, sharing tips on where to find items, and generally extra kind to each other. And impressively, everyone I saw took only one package of toilet paper, there was no hoarding. It’s clear that *everyone* finally woke up here, seemingly overnight. I’m not sure what caused the change, but I am glad I was ahead of the curve and glad the grocery shops and so on are doing their best to keep up. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 A UPS truck worth of toilet paper 🙂 https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/live-blog/coronavirus-updates-live-dow-plunges-white-house-grapples-spreading-crisis-n1157551/ncrd1158101#liveBlogHeader “UPS workers see holiday shopping-level volume Online shopping has risen sharply around the country as people are encouraged to social distance because of coronavirus, say retail analysts. Delivery volume is up around the country and has reached holiday season-levels in some places, according to UPS workers in several states, with one describing it as “like Christmas.” During what they say is normally a slower time of year, UPS drivers and union representatives in Florida, Georgia and New York told NBC News they are seeing volumes they normally only see during the holiday season, with some working 12-hour days or longer to keep up with demand. “We had a guy this morning go out with an entire truck with just toilet paper on it,” a driver in Wisconsin said.“ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 My kids’ schools are not closed, and my husband, who does tech stuff for the hospital, can normally work from home but not now. Too many meetings. There are no official cases in area. My husband doesn’t think it makes sense to limit our outings yet, since we can’t lock down. Church has been cancelled. I think it’s reasonable to let my kids go on play dates and play d&d at the library, since they’re primarily with those kids at school anyway. We’ve been eating out, but I think we’re going to stop that this weekend. I think I’m going to say no going to the musical the high school is putting on. If school closes, we’re locking down, except for necessary work stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 As someone in a state who was hit first before the ones now being hit, the buying crazes go in fits. If you can't get something now, and it isn't an urgent buy, then wait a week and most likely stores will have it again. If it is an urgent buy for something like toilet paper, then hit some stores that you wouldn't think of first. Our pharmacy was the best place to find toilet paper. So was Home Depot. (Check to see if yours stocks it normally). Also as someone who has been "locked down" to some degree for years due to being immunocompromised, you can call the pharmacy to see if your order is ready before you go. You can request (at least at my pharmacies) home delivery. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that just ridiculous, given we're breathing the same air anyway? We have enough rooms, temporarily, to have one person to a room. We have a plan to put any symptomatic people in their own room, and to use one bathroom. Everyone else will switch to the other bathroom. We are running HEPA filters in bedrooms, and upgraded our house HVAC to nice filters. Look, is there going to be some exposure across the house, sure....but heavy repeated exposure just dumps a higher viral load on you. I think there is some utility in separate spaces. Should someone become ill, we will have them open their bedroom window a bit to bring in fresh air but keep their door closed and we're going to have them double bag their trash, launder on sterilize cycle, etc. They will eat and live somewhat separately and the rest of us will be praying not to get it. Now that everyone is home, all backpacks, coats, and other things from the outside world are getting laundered today.

Tons of testing and no deaths yet -- that means they started testing early and proactively.

Schools aren't closed, though, except in New Rochelle, which worries me. Some of our schools are further north from New Rochelle.
