I live in Seattle, and I can't find hand sanitizer ANYWHERE! I had a couple of small bottles on hand, but the store shelves are empty!

Coming back from the shopping center, I saw 3 high school students wearing masks.

And the numbers keep growing: 9 deaths so far. The fear is real here.

I'm sure the fear is real where you are...I find myself getting very anxious when watching the news so I try not to watch it constantly.

Most of those who passed in Washington were residents of a nursing home. It's not really surprising and I'm sure there will be more deaths in that nursing home unfortunately.

Just came home from shopping Costco, Fred Meyers and Big Lots. No one was wearing masks or coughing...it seemed like any other shopping day.

Nice not to be hunkered up at home worrying about the bad news on TV.

That's all.

I call most of TV - SHOCK TV!!!!!!!!

Can u remember the last time, they had positive, happy news???

Everything is BREAKING NEWS ----- the media is so happy when there are catastrophes -- sometimes they even expand on it - 24 hours/day.

@shoesnbags Yeah, this is not making any sense. How would this virus break water mains? And if the water mains are broken then you can’t flush all toilet you stock piled.

Sorry I meant to say toilet paper loll

Some talking head on TV was surmising about the plausibility of being quarantined. If that were to happen, people wouldn't be able to go out so they would need to "...be prepared" including having bottled water on hand (as if it is doomsday.) Good grief.

The last time I shopped was last Friday, and the grocery store was PACKED! And, as others have noted here, people were buying shopping carts full of bottled water--and we haven't had ANY cases in Nevada yet.

DH is losing his mind over the spread of this disease. He has been pontificating for years about how we as a society don't take infectious disease seriously enough, how we will find ourselves without sufficient resources in the next pandemic, yada, yada, yada. Now he feels vindicated and is driving me crazy with all his preparations for impending disaster. Glad I can retreat to my garden work for some respite.

I don't go out that much anyway and not for that specific reason but I don't feel all that great anymore and think more about not being around sick people because of a low immune system.

I did go out this morning where you sit in your car and wait to get lots of food. The only thing I did different was put my gloves on before taking the pen that they hand you to sign your name on the form. Hundreds wait in line so that's a lot of germs.

I took my puppy to the Vet this morning for her puppy shots and stopped at the store real quick to grab a few things on the way home.

There was no shortage of anything and I only saw one lady wearing a mask...on her head holding her hair back.

I found lump crab meat for $7.99 a lb..Yeah! I grabbed a few lbs, potatoes and some Veggies and made my way home.

I might go back tomorrow for some more crab meat. I should have stocked up. It's business as usual here in PA.

So if I’m quarantined, the water is going to stop coming out of my faucets? Good grief is right.
