I'm glad that you found some toilet paper. It brings us back to your original post starting this thread. People swarmed the stores for toilet paper, because they knew that other people would swarm the stores, and the supply would diminish rapidly. As in, "I better go out and buy lots of toilet paper, before there isn't any left on the shelves!"
I continue to receive emails from companies, where I've shopped. Even our bank sent us an email. Costco and some other stores are having an "elders only" period of shopping, so that seniors can worry a little less about exposure. Most stores have agreed that customers are limited to the quantity they can purchase, as it was for you at WalMart.
This is sensible, but I still think that it is wiser for every store to have a delivery service, such as Instacart. No one should have to go out shopping, when there are people, who can shop for them and bring the groceries to their door.
Realistically, there aren't enough test kits to determine whether your cashier or the person stocking the shelves has COVID-19. They could also have the flu or a cold. Our shoppers aren't being tested either.
The stores can declare that they are wiping down everything with industrial disinfectant every 4 hours (that isn't often enough when hundreds of people are shopping). Without tests, we have no idea who has or doesn't have the virus. Is it possible to test negative one day, and a few days later test positive? I suspect it is.
All of the schools in our county and adjoining counties have closed. Restaurants and bars are closing. That's the only way to keep the young folks out of them. Young people are typically oblivious to mortality. And that's fine, as long as they are conscientious about others, who are vulnerable.
Every person on Earth is susceptible to COVID-19, whether they have no symptoms, mild symptoms, or fatal consequences, we're all in this together. We have to change our way of living. We have to be more cautious. We have to learn not to take everything we have at our disposal for granted. We have to love and care about each other.
Stay home and be well. It's all we can do right now for ourselves and everyone around us.
Love & Light,
Rose
