I did this on my lunch break. Walmart was low on some brands of peanut butter, tuna, water jugs and bleach. Everything else was business as usual. |

Great . . . .
A high school in Washington State canceled classes and was closed on Thursday after a staff member reported that a family member who had traveled with them internationally became sick and was being quarantined and tested for the novel coronavirus. In a letter sent to Bothell High School families, Superintendent Michelle Reid said that the staff member was also being quarantined at home for 14 days. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/washington-high-school-closed-over-coronavirus-concerns-after-staff-members-relative-is-tested-for-virus/ar-BB10tyoN?ocid=spartanntp |

The better thing about shopping now - besides avoiding chaos - is also that manufacturing and distribution is still going fully in the US. So when you/others bought the last jars of peanut butter off the shelves, Walmart gets notification that tonight's shipment from the warehouse needs a lot more peanut butter than usual because it's all sold out at x store (hypothetically). The distributors sending it tonight causes them to then turn around to the manufacturer and say -- peanut butter demand is up, and they grind out more. |

Don't forget, if they don't test people, they cannot have COVID-19!

This is unsettling:
"Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/politics/us-coronavirus-pence.html?fbclid=IwAR1MDiC9FK6PtKPlnnM6kk8GFe8bKUOgpc8vOLZPdyz7NBGsVeSlR-ORPVw |
