Good news. Hopefully this will continue.

Frontliners certainly are having a very difficult time at the moment. Some people can work from home but that's not an option for a lot of people. Unfortunately I think this might only be the beginning, especially with the amount of unknown cases. Stay safe!

I see you're a mother. Be careful with children, they can be carriers although will not get ill. All schools closed here, but also playgroups, etc. Advice is to not let them play with other children, if they do they can pass it on to the next family.

I've been buying slowly for a couple of weeks, got roughly a month's supply of food at the moment, although some things like milk and bread are more difficult. Also if possible, get disposable latex gloves for public places. The virus can live on surfaces for up to one week.

Concentrate on dried, tinned or frozen food. Try to build up enough supplies for 2-3 weeks if possible. Also soap or hand sanitiser, toilet roll and both Vitamin C and D (D3).

It's happening in parts of Europe as well, especially with large supermarkets. Best thing to do is stay calm and try to stock up slowly each day. Maybe small shops are easier? Also better in terms of reduced exposure to people.
