Leave it to cable news, in this case CNN, to encourage us to start hoarding again. And I use the term hoarding not so loosely because that is what it was and now will be again. Call it stocking up if you want.
"What you need to prepare for the Covid-19 surge this season."
The same story as last spring, we need adequate amounts of food and medical supplies stocked up. We all know what happened with that, by the time most of us heard this advice, the early adapters had bought it all up. It's mentally exhausting to contemplate this all over again.
Here are some of the things they recommend:
For regular hand hygiene and after receiving deliveries, checking your mail or shopping, you need soap and hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
You'll need extra toilet paper
You will need cough drops and syrup for coughing symptoms, decongestants for congestion, acetaminophen and ibuprofen for pain and fevers, and antidiarrheals. Keep adhesive bandages stocked for wounds.
Store a two week supply of water and non-perishable foods-canned and frozen foods, snack foods, coffee hard cheeses and breads.
Baking ingredients-Has yeast made any kind of come back on store shelves after last time?
Anyhow, there is more of this at the link and if it wasn't miserably raining I'd go out and get a few things I never was able to get last time.
