Just putting my observations out there, not really news.
I live in a small town. Nowhere to eat here. We weekly go to a local mom and pop diner in the next town over, and are friends with the owners and their daughters that waitress there. Nobody can eat there because of the lockdown , but they are still doing carry out orders. My wife went in there today to pick up lunch. The daughter working the register was literally in tears as she talked to my wife. Business is dead, and she has no idea how she’s going to pay her bills. This is her whole family’s source of income.

My wife babysits a few toddlers and babies during the day. She just started watching a 4 month old while the mom works at the town gas station. The baby has a sensitive stomach and they spent a lot of time figuring out a baby formula that didn’t upset his stomach. Well she spent all day yesterday scouring 2 counties to look for a store that wasn’t sold out of his formula due to the panic and hoarding frenzy going on. Man this kid ain’t happy! Still can’t find any.
No matter how bad things are I try to remember there are a lot of people who have it a lot worse than me.
