The TP I could understand (local stores ran out quickly), but the paper towels I COULDN'T understand. Were these folks expecting a flood or something?
I began stockpiling a month ago. I also keep a box of non-perishables in the back bedroom at all times. Now I have three boxes and a freezerful of stuff. I spend a good deal of time now 'hunting and gathering' rather than looking for a good time. Good times are over for now. It's only a matter of time before the local county jail locks out the volunteer staff (I am one), but not yet. We have no cases of virus in our county (or our jail) at the time of this writing. The inmates are probably some of the safest people in town because they're monitored and already isolated.
