The frozen wasn't decimated. I expected the cereal isle to be more decimated. But I supposed, if you don't have nay milk, the oatmeal can be made with water.

Hand sanitizer disappeared here early - I didn't get any. I thought the moderators missed a question opportunity at the Biden/Sanders debate the other night. They asked the candidates about what they would do if they were in charge of the current situation, then went on to what they personally were doing to avoid getting sick. Of course the candidates said they were canceling rallies, not shaking hands, washing hands, using hand sanitizer, etc. The moderators should have asked them where they got the hand sanitizer, and if they were elected what they would do to make important products widely available and prevent hoarding!
Food didn't start disappearing from the stores until the last few days. I wanted to get some bread for sandwiches in case my local fast food takeout places close but the store bread shelves were empty.

Even though I went out, it was still quiet time.

I don't understand why all the states didn't postpone the primaries. I expect a lot of people who wanted to vote didn't get to because they were afraid to go to the polls. I'm fortunate that my state had already voted before all these closures started happening.
