Today at work I learned our ordering people tried to put in our regular ol order for surgical gowns and masks. Backordered and we will run out in a week at our normal rate of doing surgery (which may well slow down of course).
So we’re exploring going old school with cloth (rather than disposable) masks and gowns. Lol the head surgical nurse told me none of the pack room kids know how to fold and wrap these items, they’re going to have to be retrained.

Our local convenience store chain just banned bringing your own coffee mug in due to the Coronavirus. The cashier was telling me this as she was handing me change from my $10 bill. I asked her why they hadn’t banned cash. Blank stare.

The rain has stopped. I may skip the bus and walk instead.

Bringing your own mug to the store seems inconvenient.

Don't think I mentioned this yesterday, but I made my regular Whole Foods stop on the way home from my NJ office. Got there around 3:30. The parking garage is usually relatively quiet at that house. This time it was nuts. By the luck of the draw I found a space, but I was thinking "Oh boy."
Went upstairs into the store and it was a madhouse. Decided to wander around. Shelves with things like canned tuna, pasta, soup and canned beans and vegetables were stripped nearly bare. No paper products to be had. Even the olive oil selection was nearly limited to the really expensive stuff.
A guy I know reported that he stopped in around 7:30. Every line was open, but the cues stretched to the back of the store. I was surprised that there was anything left to buy.
