My son, in Seattle, just scored some rubbing alcohol and disinfectent wipes at a gas station mini-mart! I offered him some of the masks that I had. I was so proud. “Nah - I’ve got a box of ten that I bought when you told me too.”
We’re east of Seattle. My wife just found out she has been visiting a place that had two CV patients. It’s getting real. Might have to amend my tagline.
Oh - the bigbox hardware store in town had TP and paper towels. Although I read on some blog that an employee there has “flu-like” symptoms, but the flu test came back negative.
But he wasn’t so sick as to require the CV test!?
Good for him.
The little ‘overpriced’ mini marts probably have a small supply of stuff still in some places.
medical workers and first responders right now, but general public later/ But maybe since your wife has been visited a nursing home, she might qualify now? Worth a phonecall to your doc, see if you can get a referral maybe?:

Ground zero. At least you got the milder S-CoV in that region. Might not kill ya. Good luck.
