Things are pretty chaotic here. My state is basically on lockdown, with a "stay at home" order newly in place. While the virus worries me, people's panic buying almost worries me more. A lot of food and basic supplies are continually sold out everywhere, and everyone's in a mad dash to find a store with things in stock. When online stores have supplies nowadays the prices are usually outrageous. If things like this go on for too long I don't know what I'll do. I've seen this kind of panic buying before hurricanes and such before, but that doesn't last as long. This is worse. The government here said non-sick people would benefit from wearing masks, but masks are sold out everywhere so people are posting instructions on sewing homemade masks. This all just feels more and more like a horror movie. Part of me half-wonders if I'll wake up and this will all be a dream, but I know that won't happen.
The good news is that it looks like some countries are starting to "flatten the curve". South Korea is a huge success story, and deaths are lessening in Italy last I heard. I hope everyone is safe and doing well!
