Is this the new normal?

Seriously, it feels like an apocalypse

#COVID19
#Coronavirus

Stores in Woodville, Miss., and other places in southwest Mississippi have empty shelves due to people's response to news about COVID-19 and coronavirus. Local businesses are struggling to keep the shelves stocked.
--------------------

It was surreal Sunday (March 22, 2020) when I went from store to store in search of milk, eggs, and bread. One store was out of vitamins. (Wow. People taking vitamins now). None had tissue or hand sanitizer. Shelves were empty. I felt like I was in an episode of the Walking Dead. A worker at one store, who was wearing a mask and gloves, said truck will come Monday morning with bread and eggs. However, she cautioned me to be ready to stand in line at 6:30 a.m. The store opens at 7 a.m., she said.


These are scary times.
