Question: why wouldn’t you be able to get your groceries in two weeks or four weeks? What scenario are you imagining? The grocery store will close? My! That would be some outbreak. Remember folks, most cases are mild. Hording supplies and stockpiling just fuels unnecessary panic. [/quote]

More so a matter of staying quarantined with a family of 4 and a preference to eat as normal. Either adult sick, means bringing the illness out in public to get groceries OR unnecessarily exposing oneself to other people out buying groceries that are contagious. [/quote]

I'm thinking back to all the times I've been so sick I couldn't get out bed.  I didn't even WANT to eat, but assuming family members need to eat & we don't want to spread germs, I would get food delivered from the grocery store. in 2020, there are so many ways to get food (and supplies) to my door step. Also, I have friends and family who to would drop off necessities, if need be.

Buying everything off the shelf when you don't even need it right now seems.... unnecessary... to me. [/quote]
