Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[Alan V]

My wife and I were outside our usual grocery store when it opened at 6:00 this morning.  We expected it to be less crowded and to have more stuff on the shelves, but were more-or-less disappointed on both counts.  There was a long line, spaced apart, of people waiting to get in when the doors opened.  Almost all the people were wearing masks, including us.  Arrows were taped to the floors for one-way traffic flow along the isles.  Shelves were still bare in some places.  

We did find some paper towels we needed, so we at least had one success.
