COVID19/aka Corona Virus, What's Happening Around the World. ***KEEP COMMENTS CIVIL, PLEASE!

But surprisingly, even with the kids out of school, the chips and cookies shelves are still full! We were told our local walmart wouldn't be getting another truck in for 10 days. Don't know if that was true, but it certainly is looking like it. Hurts a lot, because we only have 2 grocery stores in our town.

You mean your local Walmart is selling trucks now ?😦😦😦

Amazon needs to up its game !!

online via amazon, instacart, shipt or other food delivery including postmates, ubereats etc are not doing deliveries here in WI as the stores are depleted, or maybe those services they dont deem needy. Doesnt make any sense tho if everyone isolates , therefore those services are needy too

(IL) State governor just banned dine-in at restaurants and bars starting today. They are allowed to take pick-up and delivery orders.
Going to order food on GrubHub or UberEats over the next couple weeks.

Same here. All gyms, restaurants, movie theaters, bars. Only carry-out. I'm IT for a chain of dealerships and they are having me get laptops for a lot of the management people. I guess once I get them all setup they might have us working from home...

In Sweden the university is closed, they have to study at home. We are not allowed to be more than 500 people at events. They don't want us to visit older people and want people over 70 years to stay at home. In the capital Stockholm they want people to work from home if it's possible.

First of its kind here in the US. Kansas shut down schools the rest of the academic school year. Students have a rather long summer vacation there, although after the gov'nr's orders, the education system is now scrambling to find alternatives to schoolwork, free or reduced meal plans, and for some parents, childcare.

This thing has become a major disruption, yet it has only just begun.

Because we, French, are idiots, all French people must stay at home !
Of course, except some people who work in particular work !

Guess that idiot remark applies around the world now. Lots of countries, as well as states are making it mandatory to stay home. Schools are closing everywhere with really no guarantee of reopening before the end of this school year or 2020, even; whichever the politicians decide to do.
Just heard from Family in NJ and schools are shut down, businesses are closing shop/reducing hours of services. Of course it doesnt alleviate the stress of worrying about the next paycheck, meal, or whether you will still have a place to live.
In the US, landlords arent so easy going if you have no income.
The gov't can say, plan, and even inact all sorts of new rules, but there still will be those who remain full of hatred and greed. I fear those two words, hatred and greed, will become much more prominent as this thing grows and continues.
Love, compassion, empathy, anything to do with kindness will become a thing of the past.

When there are catastrophes such as ice storms, hurricanes, tornados, flooding and such, much of that is isolated. Because so, mankind is quick to rush to the aid of others in peril. Look how much Australia was in the news, sadly and just how many went to their aid.

But now, it comes down more to, every nation, every human being for themselves.

Sad, so very, very sad, indeed.

Here is a QUESTION??

What is the oddest item that you or a household member has brought back from the grocers during this crisis?

BTW 7 lbs of cadbury Eggs is a good choice

Honestly though my prayers go out to the world, and a good way to reach out is thru AC forums here

Not odd - but I finally found some cans of chicken noodle soup. Only problem is, it was organic and cost nearly triple what I wanted to pay. But it is sooooo good! Saw some guy heading out of Grocery Outlet with 15 boxes of instant potatoes.

What on earth is an instant potato?

Instant mashed potatoes (dehy6drated) - just add milk and butter.
