I'd be sending my daughter out to hunt for the stuff, but that's just me.

The wife wants to go to Costco.  They have senior hours Tue-Wed-Thu early and I convinced her to wait until tomorrow.  We're OK on TP, but I go through their Napa Cab "box wine" like water these days.  $13 for 3 L and it's imminently quaffable.  I also like their lamb chops and steelhead trout.

I'm on the edge of thinking the worst is over for the US.  I might be buying some stock today, futures are up sharply.

I hope we can get to some modified openings of local businesses, emphasizing distancing etc., fairly soon.  Move the tables further apart.  That could still be end of month and a lot of places won't make it unless they get rent relief.  I imagine some buildings leasing space are going to have to allow a missed payment or three or just have an empty shell for a while.

I hate to be optimistic, it's really depressing.

I think things are likely to start opening back up in some limited capacity at the end of this month or very early May.  I don't think the nation's going to tolerate much more than that.

I suspect that schools will remain stay-at-home through the end of the schoolyear, though.  That's a threat vector that is already managed and I don't believe there will be much push to change it back.  Perhaps some kind of social week or even a single social day at the end of May or beginning of June, to let all the kids see each other one last time before summer break.

One of my kids already had the announcement that they won't be coming back this year. The other two haven't been formally announced, but I'm expecting it shortly. 

Of course, now a reporter has apparently asked POTUS why he hasn't closed the grocery stores, so my wife is freaking out that Newsom is going to close the grocery stores...

Closing grocery stores would induce the kind of violent panic I've been fearing.  What a terrible idea.  How on earth do they believe people are supposed to get food?

And yeah, right now we're "officially" school-at-home through April  13th.  Dallas and Houston have announced through May 4th.  By the end of this week we'll align to Dallas and Houston, and then a couple of weeks later, everyone will push it through the end of the schoolyear.

The local Kroger stopped home delivery of baby wipes, toilet paper and bottled water

Now they have started providing baby wipes and bottled water for home delivery

Toilet paper is still not available for home delivery

Which isn't going to happen-- the closing of the grocery stores, or the ensuing violent panic?

I think they should close the grocery stores, hospitals and police stations

Our state department of education announced about 10 days ago that schools were closed for the rest of the academic year.  We're doing "distant learning" now.  Apparently most of the country is doing the same and some of our apps are crashing or acting erratically from the overload.

I stopped at Costco today and they had toilet paper lined all around the warehouse. Not Kirkland brand though :(
