Quarantine check in

Grocery stores here are slowly but surely getting their stock back. Still low on cleaning supplies but the hardest thing to find is flour and yeast because everyone is making bread! I did see an article this morning quoting the CEO of Walmart saying the new focus of hoarding seems to be hair dye and clippers lol
Mistral:
Here in Quebec we have 12 thousand of cases and all the dry food is gone on the store

:D at the hair products! I'm afraid to try trimming mine, so looks like I'll be growing it out.
The only thing on my list I couldn't find at all the other day was baking powder. The yeast was all but gone too. I just make beer bread instead - super easy, no yeast required, and really good! I always seem to have a few random bottles of old beer shoved in the back of my fridge. I did get a bag of flour!
One non-essential thing I have not yet been able to find is Kraft Mac & Cheese LOL. I like to keep a few boxes on hand for easy emergency meals, but the stores have been out of basically all boxed mac and cheese every time I've been. The first time I tried grocery shopping right after the schools were closed, there was no cheese of any kind in any store, period. We like our cheese in the Midwest LOL.
The nice part of living alone is I don't feel the need to obsessively disinfect things around my house, as there's no one else I can infect, so I haven't run out of cleaning supplies yet.

Hi!
We have about 2,700 cases. 2,000 cases are in Clark County but when you think about Vegas' population of 2.7 million it could be way worse. That said the numbers are probably off because of testing. So far we haven't turned into NYC so I'm thankful. I've also heard there's a theory the virus doesn't do well in heat. IF that's true then Vegas will in that aspect do okay.
We still can't keep toilet paper lol. Vegas as a whole is on lockdown and so to run my front end I have to have someone doing a headcount cause we have a limit of how many can be inside, someone outside for Order Pickup and one of our entrances is closed off so everyone goes in and out the same way. Some have a really hard time with that despite the barrier, the giant sign and the person saying NO lmao. Drive Up orders where you pull up in your car exploded too, it's nuts. I'm constantly jumping in to help my team with it.
I need sugar and for some reason I'm having a hard time finding that lately LOL. I'm not out yet but with times being what they are I start looking early so I have the luxury of not store hopping for what I need all day. We are slowly getting supplies back in and still have a list of limits to try and keep it that way. I just wish people would stay HOME if they don't need to go out.
Alcohol is the new hoarding item for Vegas LOL. Now that the liquor stores are closed it's flying out the door. Which...okay I can understand it.

Has your sister tried going to the stores first thing in the morning (or after senior hours if they're doing that)? Or tried dollar stores, hardware stores, less obvious places than grocery stores or big box stores? I've heard of people having better luck at Dollar General and places like that.

With everything going on, my sister is afraid to leave the apartment. She’s always been kind of a hypochondriac so this thing has really not helped with that phobia. It’s actually kind of funny sometimes. Just to see the look on her face if she happens to cough or her stomach starts to hurt. She’s convinced she has it about ninety times a day lol
I would go out, but as a diabetic with MS, I’d probably drop dead the second I left the apartment with my sister yelling at my corpse “See! I told you so!!” Lol
