I'm in Tempe, east of Phoenix. Our city closed bars, restaurants, etc., with takeout only. As did Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Sedona. However, only schools are closed state wide. However, even in cities with no closings, restaurants have voluntarily switched to takeout only.
My local Trader Joe's is now limiting to two of each food item per person, and that has helped a lot. If I go when it opens at 9:00 a.m., I can get most of what I need. Still can't find any toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, hand sanitizer, pasta, rice or flour, at any of the stores I have visited lately. I did find some pasta at a Safeway last Sunday and some kleenex at Walgreens. A week ago Wednesday, I got one roll of tp from Target. Fortunately, I had just bought a package from Costco before all this happened. I have read that some Costcos are refusing to give refunds for the tp and other hoarded items. Good for them! I was thinking Papa Murphys Pizza might be safe. You take it home and cook it for 425 degrees. Although, I suppose the saran wrap around it could be contaminated. I read an article that just said that the high blood pressure med, Losartan, might work against the virus. I take the generic version for my high bp. Would be great if it's true, but seems preliminary at the moment. Quote:

There is a popular subreddit called "showerthoughts" where people post about things they think about, well, while in the shower, and I think this would fall in that category.
When it comes to all the hoarding, could it be because of the popularity of zombie films and shows? In these shows, things always start out innocently with some virus hitting and people not believing things will get that bad. Then, BAM, the virus gets out of hand, craziness ensues, and there are zombies everywhere. Luckily, we don't have the zombies, but you could compare the coronavirus situation as the beginning of any of these zombie shows. People have been watching these shows for years and they always revolve around people risking their lives because they have to go get supplies. (But curiously it is never about needing toilet paper on these shows.)

Just regarding the chocolate-covered almonds.... I would highly recommend Nuts.com, which is an awesome site to order all kinds of snacks. They have super-fast delivery too (which I assume is still true now).
As a bonus, they are donating to "Feeding America" with each order. (FYI - I don't have a direct connection but I've ordered from them many times. :-) ) Kel |

This is exactly why I told my parents that we aren’t ordering takeout, because we all have compromised immune systems. I have been cooking and baking since I was a child, I have been making homemade pizza for years. It’s the things I don’t normally make that we takeout. When I cook, I do batch cooking and double or triple a recipe to have enough on hand when I can’t or don’t want to cook.
