I’m still alive too.

Went to the grocery yesterday and three full shelves were stocked to the brim with handy-wipes.

Plenty of toilet paper in that aisle too.

Same here, but living on the East side of King County, the epicenter of this thing in the US is interesting. Traffic on the freeways is lighter than usual. Our local Costco was temporarily stripped bare by people hoarding supplies. My wife, a retired nurse spent her entire hour at the beauty salon trying to calm people who were full of hysterical misinformation.

The Life Care Center in Kirkland which we have visited dozens of times in the last few years is of course completely devastated. One employee and a growing number of patients there are dead, more are seriously ill. My guess would be that Forrest Preston, the owner will be dropping that place like a hot potato at the earliest possible date. Although I would have to say that it has always been one of the better places that we have visited on a regular basis.

The good news is that the vast majority of US citizens infected still are comprised of people somehow associated with the Life Care Center and the cruise ship. To me that says that this thing does not spread as easily as we have been led to believe. It will be interesting to eventually find out who brought the infection to the Life Care Center. Was it a sick patient or was it an employee?
