Living in earthquake country we keep a few extra of everything. From lightbulbs to animal feed. And we have our emergency bin of hard supplies since forever, so we didn’t worry about masks or firstaid stuff and such. We recycle those every year during fire season. New stuff goes in the bin, old stuff comes into the house to be used.

Just a temporary snapshot from the Great White North - Minnesota, that is.
The wife and I went to Cub Foods (Minnesota chain of grocery stores) in a SW suburb of Minneapolis. The store seemed stocked well enough. Yep, they had no hand sanitizers and we’re looking a bit picked over for Clorox (although they had some), it looked like business as usual.
I had to shove a guy’s own finger up his nose to prevent him from taking the last box of Chicken In a Biscuit. I don’t think his finger or nose were broken. Just a little blood and oh yeah, I did get the box of Chicken In a Biscuit.
As of right now (and I stress right now), we’re still sitting at only 1 case of confirmed Coronavirus. The patient contracted it on a cruise and is a senior citizen. Will there be more cases? Likely yes but for now, we’re sitting at 1 case only.
From speaking with others, there’s no prepping but it seems as though people are (when they go shopping) storing up on some extra essentials like canned goods.
