But I experienced the public's fear driven panic while shopping. I kept noticing the stores' shelves in isles were empty, and the stores seemed under staffed. At a major local grocer chain store, the parking lot was jammed/cram-packed, far more than just a busy Friday afternoon (tough to find a spot, tough to get in or out of the lot). Again the store seemd under staffed, and there were huge empty spaces where grocery stock used to be. Clearly, store staff has to 'bust-their-butts'/work much harder to replenish store stock while at the same time the public is cleaning them out/grabbing it up. If youthink about it, this also puts a strain on truckers to replenish the stores, more traffic jams, etc. (on down the line). Panic buying is affecting many areas of society. As I was self-checking out to leave the store, the lone store staff person (when there are normally 3 staff for those stations), was humping her butt/working-hard to do the work of 3, and also constantly spraying, & wiping-down, to clean the many self check out (touch-screen) stations. Not all stores were this contagion-control fastidious. When I was previously at a walmart, it was business as usual, as everyone had to use the same grody touch screens and sign-for pick-up items on the same grody hand-held devices. Our society has so many ways to transfer the virus, that not shaking hands and switching to elbow bumps aren't enough to deter virus transfers. I felt I had just enough energy for my last stop to get a renewal flu shot at my local VA Hospital. This does not sound like a big deal/effort, but that VA site really needs a multi-level parking structure. So, their crammed parking lot makes for quite a long hike to the entance even when using my rollator/walker. As I entered, there was a nice older (disabled) gal in her electric mobility cart off to the side acting like a door greeter (ending our brief chat with a typical TX 'have a blessed day'). Our brief chat came 'round to inform me the local schools had been closed because of the virus pandemic scare https://www.google.com/search?q=corona+suspend (perhaps that is where she would normally be if they were still open / her day job?). I got my flu virus shot, not that it hasn't any affect on the corona virus, but now that I am old, I need to spend time keep myself healthy so, I can keep doing good deeds for society like posting EV newswires and attending a few EVents each year. Below are some links I used to to learn more (knowledge is power) about the virus: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/n-coronavirus/ a VA page, which links to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html show a map of te virus' spread in the .us, whh came from https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html the cdc's main page IMO, bottom line, as one veteran shared with me 'until this (pandemic) thing is sorted out, we are just going to have to stay clean, stay informed, etc. He (wisely) didn't even elbow bump, he just would give you a strong eye-contact head nod instead.
