Sit-rep in your area?

All quite down south life seems normal?
We have zero cases so far but we live kinda far apart.

Funny how that works? Live life as a sardine, get packed in a can.

West side Meijer had quite a bit of stock back as of an hour ago. Plenty of TP, pasta sauce, decent meat selection, frozen goods, fresh foods etc. No cleaning products though, which is what I'm in need of. At my house we use the lysol or chlorox wipes, and I always keep a couple bottles of them in my car, but our stock is almost gone since we have gone to wiping down or spraying all of our duty gear every night when we get home.

The local Sam's club has had a pallet of lysol wipes the last few times I've been in there. If you want, I can grab some.

Carmel Kroger has recovered except for TP, towels, cleaners and sanitizer.

Wife and Son went to Aldi and Kroger in Zionsville. (I dry - fired :-) )

They reportedly found everything they went for except cleaning wipes.

Stay safe out there... (Man, I need some range time!)

A neighbor was in the local mom & pop type general store. They had one small package of TP and two rolls of paper towels left on the shelf. A lady came in, picked them up and asked if they had any more. The reply was “nope”. She paid for them and left. The guy went in back and brought out one small package of TP and two rolls of paper towel and put them on the shelf.

Too much work. He should have just put up a sign with limits. Would have saved a lot of steps.

But fewer arguments. Ive seen multiple "but... but... [insert excuse here]" in this panic. Dont blame them one bit. That seems the path of least resistance.

Sounds like inventories are coming back up. I haven't been out to the grocery store in 10 days (I think?) now. Think I may have to give it a try tomorrow. I miss lettuce...

Plenty of that everywhere. Hell, its easier to wipe your butt with that than TP.

Last 2 trips I made it was 99% sold out. First time there was still TP even!

Anyhow... I'm stores of fresh things are low, and if I can reload some water and canned stuff, all the better too.

And that is just unimaginable! TP is domestically produced, no significant supply disruptions are forecast. Why the hell would there be an irrational run on it?

Any insight into sanitizer availability?

Speaking from the medical side, don't hold your breath. Places like New York, and even Indy at this point, are needing alcohol and sanitizer to the point that those are taking priority over public sales. That is something I DO see having a supply shortage of until this thing is well and truly kicked.

Weird. In my AO its the (literal) exact opposite. Ive always been able to get cartloads of lettuce. NEVER TP and usually no PT. But sometimes its down to the last 2 or so cases of towels. Crazy/

I can understand this. We always have hand washing, rags, and spray bottles of cleaner. (even if it is denatured alcohol and water)

This is the one that's bothering me. I learned earlier this year that I'm allergic to the fragrance additives in hand sanitizer (and soap, deodorant, cologne, etc.), so even the hand sanitizer that I've had in stock is now worthless to me. At least my wife can still use it.

I think I'm going to have to make my own; I don't expect to see it online soon, and I'm doing my best to stay out of public places.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you'd be better served carrying around hand soap that agrees with that allergy and some lotion or Udder Butter.

Handwashing is way better than sanitizing.

Let's not forget that many of the "secondary killer" superbug staph strains like MRSA, ESBL, VRE, etc. (I haven't messed with that stuff in months so some of them are escaping me) were either created or worsened by improper overuse of products that didn't fully kill them and allowed them to mutate stronger- i.e. hand sanitizer.

Hand washing is best, just keep them hands from cracking!

I argree... Hand washing has worked just fine since the civil war. We've got this virus because of pre civil war practices, a lot of which from our own countryman. The amount of guys I see walk in the bathroom (including the stalls) do whatever, and then just up leave is absolutely jaw dropping.

So... Just wash your freakin' hands.

Available in stock on April 4 on Amazon. I ordered this 2 weeks ago and got it 2 days ago. 62.5% alcohol, so meets the standard for germ kill. It says "scent free," but it definitely smells like hand sanitizer, although no extra fragrance in this brand.

I call this my internal sanitizer...

68.4% and it smells like heaven.

Need some hand sanitizer? This KY distillery can help

Lotsa whiskey distilleries doing this, as of last week. One I seen interviewed on FNC had uniquely scented hand sanitizer. Maple/bourbon?
