NY, too, here, right next to CT. I have enough toilet paper to last till the Spring 2021. When we had the first shutdown, in mid-March, I went to Costco and bought a 25 lb bag of rice for $10 (which is why I love Costco). I had to spend $15 on a plastic pet food container to store the rice, which is ironic to spend more on the container than on the food. I also bought and have continued to buy pasta, meat (which is in the freezer) and I have some a bunch of cans. I have a lot of coffee and I bought powdered milk in the Spring, so if I get desperate I have that. In my town, they had a contactless food distribution center where you drive up and they put bags of food in your car. They had good food, including meat, milk, yogurt, sports drinks, and fresh produce. Plus they gave out cloth masks which were donated by some company.
I also went to Costco throughout the shutdown in the Spring. I have Costco and Sam’s Club memberships which are both invaluable because they sell everything, not just food, and they remained open throughout the shutdown because they sell food.
My hair colorist just got the Covid a few weeks ago. My daughter had an appointment for a hair cut and I had to find a new person to do it because the colorist was going to be the one to cut her hair.
The CT city near me, Danbury, has had schools on remote for this school year so far. My daughter’s school had a few weeks of total remote due to a positive case in the building. Other towns in our County are on total remote due to high virus cases.
What concerns me is that now, with so many people believing this is bullshit and a Democratic conspiracy, they might not properly quarantine and stay home, and it will all be for naught.
