I was so disappointed to come across this and see no comments. Seriously. Throw a cat on the screen and you would get hundreds of comments. Not that I don't like cats.
I do the same with dry goods and our toilet paper was on sale at Target, where you got a $15 target coupon if you bought $45 worth of goods. Okay 3 Giant packs of TP enough for months and months... the week before all hell broke loose. So I got a fourth because it was essentially free.
Thank you for always weighing in your thoughts.

Hi there @dswigle, thanks for the visit and comment... always welcome!
I think it's going to take people a few weeks to untangle themselves from Steem and figure out the value of actually building community again... I hope everyone keeps up their level of enthusiasm; the way to succeed with Hive is to keep the momentum going and not ever letting that fall apart... THAT is how we get more people to join us from the "outside world."
So far, we have really not suffered any hardships around here, in spite of the fact that Washington state has COVID-19 cases going back all the way to late January, and "precautions" starting already 7-8 weeks ago... we're on the front end of the curve, in the US.
An interesting kind of "new normal" seems to be developing... I see groups of friends getting together for walks in the park, where they walk clearly as a group, but 10 feet apart. People work quietly with what they have. The shortages at the groceries are slowly abating. I expect we'll be dealing with "limitations" for much longer than officialdom is saying... my guess is that even basic restrictions will remain in place till Mid-June.
Time will tell!
We are officially on a mandated stay at home here in Washington.DC Metro area includes Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It could reach further than that but because work here is so incestuous with the borders, they usually run the same rules.
I am looking for a norm and hopefully, soon, no matter how different it would be, I am sure we would embrace it. We are still running around yelling the sky is falling.
Le sigh.
