Gone Coronavirus Crazy
 |
I'm not saying that it is unwarranted behavior ...
But the results are somewhat disturbing and the resulting news regarding domestic situations can be down right inaccurate.
I was told there was no toilet paper in the stores. I was told there was no bottled water. I was told there was no hand sanitizer or tissues either.
So I go to the local store and voila, I walked out with all those paper products for which I had ran out and pretty much got everything else I wanted besides clorox bleach.
They had brand X but I wanted what I usually buy. So I went home to my half gallon remaining and pondered the news reporting compared to the facts and realized that the consumer items I most wanted were still in good supply.
So today I am sitting at home with various sundries and about twice the toilet paper I need because I took news reports to heart.
Now I'm wondering just how this came about. Is it truly 'fake' news or is it just that I shop where many of the others reporting shortages don't.
I hope that your shopping has gone at least as well as mine. I didn't get everything I was seeking, but I figure all but one item can't be that bad in light of the fact that there were alternatives available that I could have purchased in lieu of the brand I was after.
However, it remains quite early in the pandemic.
