People should always have a couple of weeks worth of dried foods, rice, beans etc - and cans of tuna, meat, fruits - in storage.
Went to WalMart on Sunday, I’ve never seen so many bare shelves in my life. Every type of sanitizer, soap, cleaning product, packaged meats and cheeses were sold out. I took some pictures because it was a bit absurd. Completely bare.
But that was just WalMart. Most of the other markets had plenty of stuff available. We got some hamburger, chicken legs, and steaks to freeze and thaw - we do that normally but got a little extra. I am not actually worried about the virus... more worried about other people.
All this paranoia is just insane hype. I felt kind of stupid tonight. I actually needed some toilet paper and joined the happy throng buying some.
How do you prevent freezer burn on meat? I would buy meat and place it in the freezer then I wind up with freezer burn meat.
“ Most of the other markets had plenty of stuff available.“
We have a couple of large Asian markets near us, and they have plenty of stuff, including large bags of rice, all kinds of beans and pulses, and plenty of preserved goods.
I started shopping extra about a month ago. Making soup freezing, extra catfood, dog food and paper products way before the current run. We had masks already from scraping lead paint.
I’m not worried I believe the heat/humidity of Houston will dampen the gusto of the virus here.
