Stay safe.

Wife and I hit the local supermarket this morning. The only items we noticed that were out were paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, eggs. They did have a sign for eggs that says customers can take only 1 carton which would be either 12 or 18 eggs. I'm assuming it will be the same for toilet paper, but we never went down that isle to see, because it was visible just looking down the isle that they were all out. I just don't get the deal with toilet paper. We also noticed that the register that they had marked the floor with an X - 6 feet apart from another X. The store only had about a dozen folks inside.

If you're not sure if you have enough toilet paper, this calculator will help:

Florida State Parks Update
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, the Department of Environmental Protection announces that at the direction of Governor DeSantis and to successfully uphold CDC guidance to maximize social distancing and avoid gatherings larger than 10 people, DEP will close all Florida State Parks to the public effective Monday, March 23.

DEP has taken many measures to continue providing resource recreation at our State Parks during this time, such as limiting operating hours and reducing visitor capacity at parks with high visitation. Unfortunately, this has not resulted in the reductions needed to best protect public health and safety as Florida continues to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

We appreciate the public’s cooperation and understanding as we work to prioritize the welfare of our communities and staff. We look forward to welcoming you again to our award winning state parks as soon as possible.

Amazon has plenty of these large napkins/guest towels. I bought a couple of packs as a backup in case I can't find any paper towels in the coming weeks, and I think in the long run I want to put these in the guest bath instead of paper towels anyway:

That's a pack of 200 and for a comparison when you buy the small packs of these at the market, it's 40 in a pack, so that's a fair amount.

Unfortunately, I work for a Medical Device manufacturer and the wife is an RN.

Honestly, I'd like being able to stay home for the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Same in NYS for a # of days.
Non-essential shops closed as well,, but for some reason, and to my husband's delight, liquor stores have been deemed essential,, wtdevil,,?!

Stay safe out there, bless.

This is why the stupid shit Trump says actually matters and shouldn't be disregarded as, "that's just Trump, or how he speaks..." NO. People have it hard enough with how many are stupid and do stupid shit regardless of who our leaders are. But when you have someone as stupid as Trump is, it's just adding fuel to the Stupid Fire.
