Food supply is the one thing that’s still running actually.

Food supply is the one thing that’s still running actually.

Half of the food goes to retail shelf. Half goes to restaurants. The demand for the restaurant part is down to 1/3 of prior demand. Few trucks are running. Much of that food is spoiling in place. There is no alternate delivery channel.

“Food supply is the one thing that’s still running actually.”

And major disruptions won’t be tolerated. We may not have access to the luxuries (sushi, I miss you), but we’ll have food. On the other hand, people were warned to stock up on the simplest of basics months before this. Next lull in the spread, people should add enough to their stockpiles to get through an extended quarantine - and the sooner we open up, the more likely we are to have rolling quarantines.

What I also miss is the gym. All I have at home is a stationary bike. I was doing great with my weight loss and getting back into shape. :(
