We are all wearing masks in Delray Beach, Fl now, so 3 ft should be ok.
I feel much safer in a less crowded, spacious neighborhood than where I lived and worked (NHP, Garden City and Hewlett) for so many years. But it allowed me to move, and move well, in retirement.

Wishing you folks peak-out sooner rather than later so we can return to a semblance of normalcy soon.

It's already been done - "Contagion".

Predictive programming perhaps?

It’s amazing that Contagion was made 5+ years ago. It’s like the producers were fortune tellers. Pretty accurate too!

Here we are a month into this thing and I still see shelves emptied. And most stores are only allowing 1 paper product and 2 of anything else. I just don’t get it.

CEO of Kimberly Clark (they make Cottonelle and Scott tissue) was on Today this morning and he said they are making it fast as they can. But people need to stop buying it up when they don't need it. There are three issues at play here - panic buying which started this (herd mentality)....95% of Americans are at home so DO actually need more TP than they used to...and hoarding - you see it in the store and you buy it even if you don't need it. They are switching the supply chain from commercial manufacturing to residential, we aren't gonna run out, but people need to calm TF down.

Exec from walmart was on yesterday and said they sold enough paper towels last week for every single American to have one roll.

TP was cranking at maximum capacity pre corona. It’s a low margin item. It’s not a high priority for them I think

I haven’t shopped there recently but the Stop & Shop in NHP has had lines outside the store every time I passed by as they enforce a limit to the number of people in the store. Even shortly after they open at 6:30am for seniors there is a line dozens of people long waiting as they let one person in as another one leaves.
