chasinghosts : Yes, I wouldn't buy stuff we don't normally buy but I could store toilet paper and some paper towels. We have tons of kitchen towels that can be used so paper towels are not necessary. I'm thinking buying up flour and things to get back to real cooking. If they are not used I am sure the pantries would love some donations. That being said, how will people that rely on donated goods get by? I hope it is just hype but being better prepared seems to be a smart idea.

chasinghosts : There may be no people willing to risk getting items out to them. As people become fearful, things will get wild. I think having sanitizer in your car and in your pocket may be the only thing we can do. I'm glad I don't have to go to work. I may go to our office this weekend and really clean it good with the Purell stuff and then tell them to keep it sprayed. One of our part time employees is a college student so I hope she takes precautions.

Luckysis : another way of germs and viruses get in, wait for it ,wait for it......it is our mail & pkgs. and products that we buy Walmart, from China. I'm sure that could be THE LINK that is the SOURCE. You don't have to go to China to have an up close and personal encounter, they will automatically come to you by orders placed from the internet. '
