My facebook feed shows people in WI are settling down (or sleeping in?) this morning. News update says people in Japan are leaving homes more even though the new cases are increasing. Panic is not sustainable. The panic buyers will stop, manufacturing and shipping are not affected, the panic buying will blow over by next week.
Very interesting to see an increase in activism. My sister noted that there is no food available in her city for those without a car or unable to leave work during the day. The school lunch program is drive up only (schools are closed) and food pantry went to drive thru only also. She is working to get volunteer food delivery for the food pantry.
Also encouraging to see parents supporting each other by sharing long lists of things to do to keep kids occupied, and lists of companies that are releasing their online content for free due to school closures.
I'm signed up to for childcare for one of DH's employees for next week, so I'm just cleaning and babyproofing. I'm using one of my FB pages to share resources for parents in my community. I'm trolling social media to look for people who need help. I've been sending cards and letters to family and friends to help ease their feelings of being stuck at home.
You're concerned about the panic? Buy your guns and ammo, but put them away and start helping people work through the situation. We are good at adapting and solving problems - we've prepared forever. Now go help the people that haven't prepared and don't know what to do.
We shall find out shortly about the ER. Heading there now
