Walmart and Publix going to restricted hours, some walmarts here are running very low, or out of pet food (dry), almost no paper toilet, or towels in stock with quantity restrictions, Walmart grocery pickup is still up but limited slots left, some going into Monday, as of 2:30am est. Sunday... They are running low or out of canned, peas,corn,green beans and mixed veggies.....low , or limited tuna, canned chicken, rice is limited. As for animal feed, and aside from the above the local feed stores seem full, and we put up almost a month of feed for the critters...in case they close, or something unforeseen should happen. Stocking up on farm feed, made me think, after the 56 day quarantine in Wuhan, and the stories of people throwing pets out of windows from apartment buildings. the real reason might have been because they either ran out of pet food, or had to make a choice, feed themselves or the pets.....nobody keeps 2 months plus of dog food stockpiled in normal times..... On a side note: drive thru testing just opened a few miles from me, another opening in Kissimmee, and Ocala i believe......so maybe 20-35 miles apart...that would be 3 diff counties here in central Florida with drive thru testing. Thank god I stuck to my guns and have been hammering every shop for weeks now....the wife had been bristling at me, seeing the money adding up....aside from my long term storage, i have been doubling up for weeks now on everyday stuff, very thankful we did..... |

A little late posting this about hand sanitizer refresh. You can use vodka or ethanol at 70 percent by volume . That is mix 30 ml of gel with 70 ml vodka or ethanol. Do not use isopropyl it is too low vapor pressure. I am a High School chemistry teacher with masters in organic but my inorganic is still good |

I have no argument with your chemistry, but virologists tell us the sanitiser must be 60 - 70% alcohol to kill this specific virus. (To be more precise inactivate it.) Strong vodka is usually 40% by volume as '% proof' is a half measure. Dilute it some more and it just is not going to work. 15% alcohol = 30%proof will kill most things - so the mix is fine as a general purpose hand sanitiser - but not against this SPECIFIC bug. |

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Yes. Or any alcohol that is 181 proof or better. Everclear is 95% alcohol. |

Eggs! Can't find them anywhere! Sanitizer, TP, frozen veggies, chicken, yeast, but plenty of bread. |

If you can find a local farmer you can buy fresh eggs and preserve them as well - last for months apparently. I have chickens...not too worried (yet) about this particular item, more worried about running out of feed for the livestock if this lasts months and months! |

I considered getting some chickens or rabbits but then like you said Newbe1A you have to worry about feeding them! Then on top of that their feed attracts mice so that is when I decided dehydrated eggs were fine for me in a Pandemic. |

Feeding a few isn't hard, and in summer (grass/bug season) chickens will forage for a heck of a lot of their feed, rabbits can basically graze if you keep in a colony style pen. The meat, hides (feathers have their uses too but more limited) etc are all helpful in a pinch. |
