That’s a good summary, thanks. The N95 masks are going to be short supply very quickly, as Taiwan has banned their export, and I doubt the US bothers to make them anymore (thank you, Globalists).

I normally keep a decent supply of food on hand, but it’s mostly carbs, which I’m now trying to get off of...so they haven’t been rotated-out as they were in the past. But, obviously, if the only calories I have is carbs, so be it!

3m makes them here. But the materials are imported.

The issue is that aside from the impeachment a 500 point drop at the open of the markets will start to get people’s attention. So those would be the first things on the list, as they are in short supply because of flu season.

The rest should not be a big deal for a while.

We had to stop by Home Depot, yesterday, for water softener salt.

I told hubby, Let’s go early, I think I’ll pick up some N95s. I can always use them, for painting/sanding.

We lucked out and got some of the last boxes.

As we were checking out, we saw several other baskets, with boxes, or packs, of masks.

I bet they’re harder to find, today.

I hear ya, about the high carb food storage.

Better than nothing, if necessary.

Yep, you don't want to be the fat guy during a famine.
