I'm in po-dunk Tennessee at my parent's house. Mom has been in the hospital and re-hab so I've been here over a month now. The Walmart here has buggy wipes as you walk in and hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer and wipes in the meat section. And in the self check out areas there is someone that as soon as a person finishes checking out wipes down the whole area- where you lay your items before scanning, scanning area, where you bag your items, the display you touch to punch in produce numbers and the credit card keypad. I watched her, she was very thorough. They are constantly stocking the shelves. Yes, they are light on choice in pasta and canned goods, but fresh produce is fully stocked. Meat isn't fully stocked either, but there is still a good selection. And yes, there was TP available day before yesterday.
We need to protect the supply chain. Closing rest areas is not a good idea. The drivers can't go into restaurants any longer to go to the bathroom, should they poo by the side of the road? There just aren't enough truck stops out there. We need to change the rules and allow truck drivers to walk up to drive through windows to get food, obviously they can't drive their trucks through. We need to keep some hotels open, most trucks are not sleeper cabs, and most drivers are out over night. Sleeping in their seats just won't work. I honestly don't think most people realize everything at some point is on a truck.
Sorry, I'll get off my soap box now.
