The coronavirus has spread to all parts of the world, it seems almost all of us are affected in one way or another. Many people are panicking and stockpiling food and other supplies, including toilet paper. I stockpiled some basic food necessities and stocked my freezer but I definitely haven’t gone overboard with the whole madness.
I think fear, anxiety, and panic are normal human reactions to a threat of such a nasty virus as COVID-19. I wonder when all this will end because life has been put on hold for now and I feel like we’ve never had to deal with something quite like this.
Here’s a quick poll to gain perspective about how people are coping & feeling.

I bought the necessary finished products. I’m not so rich after that throwing away products. I have no information about some acquaintance who is ill or infected. The city where I live in Spain is not much affected. I have 3 winegrowers but they are isolated. However, the measures are scary and rigorous.
I really hope that everything will be under control soon. Stay healthy!
Yes, I know one person who is infected. But I am not going to disturb him. He has posted it on Facebook. And he is young.
Oh no, but hopefully he will get well since he’s young.
I haven’t bought anything after the pandemic hit my country. I usually buy all the groceries I need once in two months. So I have enough to last me a month. Veggies come from my garden mostly , I am okay with no meat ,if it comes to that.
That’s a good strategy to buy in bulk once and avoid going to the stores for a while.
I always do that since I hate shopping
I have no problems and I keep to myself. Stay safe and be careful.
Good to hear you are having no problems. Everything is on lockdown mode here but I stay at home and spend my time working and gardening.
We are not in contact with situations that could give us the disease.
Good to hear you have no contact with people who have the disease, I hope they find a cure.
This virus is really scary. I do not currently know anyone who is infected. Because we have a lot of strict measures, I stay home. I didn’t make a big stock of food and other products.
Same here, there are many strict measures so I think it’s good that we are staying home, take care!
Good to see you. Please take care and stay safe.
Good to see you too! Stay safe as well and keep posting lovely posts about nature and pets.
Panic is completely superfluous …. I have no stock in stock … just why? that’s what panic people do
I bought some stuff just because it’s hard to find now with all this panic shopping. I just wanted to make sure I have enough disinfectant.
