conulyPeople are soldiering on. For me, of course, absolutely nothing has changed because I already use reusable bags!
Speaking of shopping, since the weather continues cold I'll make a trip down to Pathmark tomorrow and stock up on blintzes. And possibly other stuff. I'm still not terribly worried about the virus, even with recent cases in the USA, but I am concerned that enough panic buying will render me unable to make French toast. I'm grimly aware, of course, that it is precisely this concern that will lead to the crisis we're all trying to avoid, but all the same - gotta get the milk and eggs. (And pasta, I think. What do you all stock up on when heading into weather and illness?)
