Same. But I’m wondering about everyone else. If they’re all forced to be at home with their irl spouses, what happens to all the mfp husbands and wives?
Good question. Also, not all of us have an MFP spouse,

Husband's work called and told them all to stay home for the week. This is a military installation, btw. I've lived through tornadoes, snow storms, Fukashima and other natural disasters on military bases. NEVER have they requested the active duty to stay home indoors. They usually still have to go to work.
Now I am super glad I followed my instinct to buy some more grocery stables since there will be three of us eating from home for at least a week, if not more.
People already rage-flipped my Monopoly bored when the game didn't go their way. My 8 year old caught onto the game quite quickly, which is somewhat alarming.4 -

trooth.
Look at the numbers of infected vs. recovered vs. number of deaths:

Then compare that to the (over)reaction of those hoarding supplies.
Then take that behavior, and then magnify it if this thing continues to track south.3 -

I get it's scary, but if you are to become infected and really sick 2-3 weeks worth of rations is all you should need.
The hoarding needs to stop.
And people need to self isolate as best they can - it's in everyones best interest.
Side note: I hate that I don't get sick days at my work, and I need my paycheque - as do most people. My coworkers always come to work when they are sick. This is a big problem too.11 -

Yeah, I definitely don’t have 2-3 weeks worth of toilet paper for my family2 -
Kosmos Kitten- Yeah I knew something was wrong when the Governor told my city in Texas to stay home told my Daughter that same day a month ago her California Navy Base locked down she was told no one can go off base at all for anything. Only use what’s on base. I knew it was bad when I heard even the Base was staying indoors!3

Maybe. I think a lot of those selfish and greedy hoarders are typically jerks anyway, not necessarily typically "good" humans normally. Most people I see are behaving nicely, only taking what they need, acting friendly. Maybe I just live in a friendlier area? It's a fairly diverse, blue collar to middle class California town. Maybe we just see what we want to see? Sad it's getting so crazy some places. Hope cooler heads prevail.

So far, we're still allowed to come and go from base, but most of the stores here are devoid of anything that people are looking for (hygiene products, meat, rice, noodles, shelf-stable foods that aren't vegetables, soda, etc.) And the store on base is very, very small. There is no way it could sustain the population of those of us on base if they put us on lock down.1 -

*and to look for toilet paper.
So adorable! 😍❤️

Can't complain, cuz I'm fine, with a fully stocked fridge/freezer/pantry. I am, however, in the process of interviewing & it's been a ghost town of late. With no job, I can hold on until the end of April, if necessary... but, maybe it's a good time to be indoors & not have to go into crowded office bldgs.
It's affected everyone in some way. I'm trying to be thankful, rather than complain, cuz I'm comfortable, healthy & hanging in there. I'm utilizing the downtime to do lots of exercise.4
